Jack Jouett of the Virginia militia is usually given credit, but Anthony M. Hance recorded the story of the delay at Castle Hill. 
Further, he quotes Bradley S. Johnson that it was his daughter who "rode at speed to warn Jefferson and the other rebels.") 
It wouldn't be the first time that a suitable "hero" was given credit rather than a woman. Paul Revere gets credit for his ride and the others who were also riding to warn Patriots are largely forgotten.
