syibl does have to do with the war she rode 25 miles with her horse star to warn people that the british were burning down danbury.

Improved Answer:

Yes, Sybil Ludington did have a major part in the Revolutionary war.

The British were burning the town of Danbury. Messengers were sent out to warn the townspeople and the colonel in charge of the militia, which was Colonel Henry Ludington (Sybil's Father). The messenger was too tired to carry n and alert the rest of the militia and people. Colonel Ludington was not able to do so either for he was in charge of the Militia and had to wait for the others to arrive. Thee were already 150 soldiers ready to fight, but they needed more men.

Sybil agreed to alert the local militia that the British were burning the nearby town of Danbury, Connecticut, where a large amount of the colonel's troop's supplies were kept. Riding as hard as she could through the rainy, muddy, dark night, Sybil raced from one farmhouse to another, covering 40 miles of ground. This was more than Paul Revere traveled during his famous midnight ride!

Sybil was successful in rallying the local soldiers, who gathered at her father's farmhouse that night, then marched to meet the British at Danbury. Although they weren't able to save the town or the supplies, they did push the British out of the area.

Also: Sybil's name can be spelled in several ways *sibbell, sibel, cybil

and multiple other ways
