Timothy Green was a Colonial printer. From the Day dot com: In July 1776 Timothy scooped every other New England newspaper by being the first to print the Declaration of Independence. In September 1781, amid horrific chaos, Timothy published the account of Benedict Arnold’s assault on New London, the death toll, and an inventory of the destruction. A month later Timothy reported the victory at Yorktown, but it would be a long time before distraught New Londoners felt like celebrating.
