Patriot Profiles: Job Compton
Episode 20
Thursday, 19 March, 2026
In the ninth episode of our Middletown America 250 series, Patriot Profiles — a special edition of Mayor Tony Perry’s Locally Sourced podcast — Mayor Perry turns our focus to Patriot Private Job Compton, a young soldier whose service reflects the courage and endurance of everyday Americans during the Revolutionary War. Born in Middletown and entering the fight as a teenager, Compton served in multiple militia and cavalry units, endured more than seven months as a prisoner of war, and returned to duty despite injury and hardship. From local defense efforts to daring coastal raids, his service spanned some of the most dangerous years of the war along the Jersey shore. Discover the story of a Middletown patriot whose resilience and determination helped sustain the fight for our nation’s independence.
