In February 1777, Gershom Mott was put in charge of the 6th Company of the new 2nd Continental Regiment of Artillery. Mott’s Artillery was involved throughout the American Revolution, first in Quebec, and later at West Point, Kingston NY, Connecticut, New Jersey and then as far South as Virginia. The modern-day Mott’s Artillery was formed in 1977. Mott’s Artillery has a light bronze 3-pounder cannon, a historically correct reproduction designed to move with the infantry.
