"Old Molly", the Molly Stark Cannon on parade in Manchester, NH. – date unknown — After the Battle of Bennington, the American troops named one of the captured guns “Old Molly” after the General’s wife. One story is that Captain Benjamin Dodge was put in charge of “Old Molly” and brought it home to New Boston in case he needed it to fight the British.
