John Corbett was a Revolutionary War soldier who fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill.
According to 1800's Milford historian Adin Ballou:
"John ran away from Milford to join the Continental Army, at the age of 14. He fought at Bunker Hill and was captured along with Jonathan Stearns. They were allowed to escape, but they became lost in the woods for days. They made some primitive weapons and finally killed an animal. They pounced upon the carcass and devoured it raw. After this episode, John decided to end his warrior days, and returned home. As he grew older he became one of the prominent figures of Milford. He was one of the twelve proprietors who built the Brick Meeting House in the late 1700's."
