 The troops arrived in Danbury around 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. General Tryon established his headquarters on South Street in a home owned by Nehemiah Dibble. Dibble was a Tory, and Tryon felt right at home. The rest of the troops marched down Main Street. Near the town green, they stopped and shot 12-pound cannonballs down the street. It was an intimidation factor for those who had not yet fled the city.
