ment; or as a recognized patriot who performed actual service by
overt acts of resistance to the authority of Great Britain.

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE SOCIETY.

October, 1894 — October, 1896.

THE fall field day of the Society for 1894 was held at Plymouth
on the 19th of October, a special train leaving the Old Colony
Station at 9.15 A.M., carrying one hundred and twenty members
and ladies. The weather was all that could be desired, and the
carriage accommodations ample. William S. Danforth, Esq., of
Plymouth, conducted the Pilgrims to the " Mecca of New Eng-
land," and described the numerous places of historic interest
The dinner at the Samoset House was very satisfactory ; after
which the exercises opened with the reading of a congratulatory
telegram, which President Barrett had sent to General John C.
Breckinridge, President of the District of Columbia Society, in
session on the battle-field of Yorktown at the same time. Presi-
dent Barrett, in his welcome to the company, stated that our Vice-
President, Captain Nathan Appleton, had this day placed a bronze
marker and tablet by the grave of Lafayette at the Picpus Ceme-
tery, Paris, France, bearing the words, " A tribute from the Massa-
chusetts Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, 1894,"
and the American flag.

The principal address of the day, which was made by Hon.
William T. Davis, of Plymouth, was a clear, scholarly, and inter-
esting account of the Forefathers, in which he corrected some
prevailing misapprehensions concerning the character of the re-
markable men who first settled New England in 1620: —

" It was an error to suppose that the Pilgrims were a band of
poor, uneducated, unworldly, religious zealots, who came here
seeking only freedom to worship God, and building better than
they knew." He showed that so far as their antecedents had been
disclosed they belonged to the middle and upper classes of English
life, and that they were far from being uneducated. In proof
of this he rapidly reviewed the lives of Brewster, Bradford, and
Winslow, and showed that the percentage of educated men in the

30 £ott£ of tfte American ftetooiution.

Plymouth Colony was fully as great as in the Massachusetts
Colony.

" The Pilgrims could not have come here seeking only freedom
to worship God in their western world, because they had enjoyed
for twelve years in Holland the absolute freedom of a Christian
commonwealth. They ordered a registration of births, deaths, and
marriages thirty years before its establishment in England ; organ-
ized a General Court, enacted laws, incorporated towns, and con-
scientiously built, stone by stone, the great temple of liberty here."

Rev. Charles P. Lombard, pastor of the First Parish Church, was
the next speaker. He dwelt upon the fact that the Forefathers
were the prototypes of the Revolutionists, beginning the long
struggle that practically ended at Yorktown, and having one great
characteristic in common, — their sticking-to-it qualities.

Rev. William E. Barton, of Boston, a member of the Society,
was then introduced, who spoke as follows : —

I congratulate myself upon the opportunity which this occa-
sion affords, of attending such a celebration upon such a spot
as this. There is a power in historic association. There is a
charm about the spot on which has occurred some memorable
deed that forever makes it sacred, and recalls to the visitor some-
thing of the spirit which actuated the event. I have not long
been a member of this Society, nor a resident of New England,
and to me an occasion of this character means more than I can
tell. One may read at a distance of a thousand miles, with a thrill
of patriotism,

" By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled ; "

but it is a very different thrill which one experiences when he
stands upon the spot, and, looking up to the bronze Minute-man
who guards the battle-field, repeats,

" Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world."

And one may read in his distant home with all possible fervor,
and sing with much of the spirit and the understanding,

" The breaking waves dashed high ; "

but when he has visited these scenes, has stood upon the Rock,
has climbed to the top of Burial Hill, has gazed up at the monu-

^i^torical Mtttfy of fyz J>ocictp. 31

ment on yonder hill, and across at the other in Duxbury, he sings
with quite a new meaning,

" Aye, call it holy ground,
The soil which first they trod ! "

We celebrate to-day two distinct events, separated from each
other by more than a hundred and sixty years, yet those two
events are one in spirit. The work of the Pilgrim Fathers was
completed at Yorktown. They came to these shores, " Having
undertaken for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian
faith," as their compact reads, " to plant the first Colony in the
Northerne parts of Virginia." To this end they combined them-
selves, in the presence of God and of each other, " into a civill body
politike for our better ordering and preservation, and furtherance
of the ends aforesaid." They had had religious liberty in Holland,
but they sought a wider liberty : they were loyal to their king, but
the form of government which they adopted in time made a king
superfluous. We say they gave us civil and religious liberty : the
order should be reversed. They first secured their " church with-
out a bishop," and then obtained their " state without a king."
The ends for which they entered into that compact were not
attained until this nation was free. The work which they began
did not reach its full fruition until the watchman's cry rang out,
" Past twelve o'clock and Cornwallis is taken ! " and the old bell in
Independence Hall obeyed the command expressed in its inscrip-
tion, and proclaimed liberty throughout all the land, to all the
inhabitants thereof. So we may count it matter for congratulation
that we celebrate the surrender of the army of Cornwallis here at
Plymouth Rock ; for of all places on earth, except the field itself,
it is the place marked by Providence for such a celebration.

I am glad that the ancestors of so many good people came over
in the " Mayflower." I am sometimes disposed to think that if they
all tell the truth, the " Mayflower" must have made a good many
trips ; but I am glad they are so numerous. Nothing prevents my
having had an ancestor in the " Mayflower " but my veracity. But
the " Mayflower " continues sailing. Transformed into an Erie canal-
boat or a prairie schooner or even an express train, she has landed
many a company of pilgrims in many portions of our country.
Wherever men and women have gone with the spirit of the brave
souls that made this spot holy, to found new communities in new

32 £on0 of tfjc American ftetoolution.

sections of our great land, there has been a new landing of the
" Mayflower," and a new spark struck from Plymouth Rock. John
Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave, and the " Mayflower "
lies at the bottom of the sea, but the souls of both go on. So
long as her voyages continue, and the spirit of her passengers
abides in her sons, so long as the sons of Revolutionary sires keep
alive the flame those patriots kindled, our land is safe.

The fires of the Revolution were lighted by the sparks from this
same Rock. It was a spark from Plymouth Rock that flashed out
on Lexington Common. It was a spark from Plymouth Rock that
lighted Washington across the Delaware on the bleak Christmas
night of 1777, and warmed the hearts of his shoeless, shivering
soldiers in their huts at Valley Forge. It was the same spark that
lighted the fires of rejoicing when the war was over, and we were
a nation with a name and a flag. It was with a spark from the
same Rock that the nation lighted anew the torch of freedom, and
declared, amid the din of another conflict, that in all this broad
land there shall never be a slave. It is by the light of the high-
mounting beacon-flame kindled from the same spark that we still
guide our nation's course.

We have come here to-day that by another spark struck fresh
from this Rock into our own souls, this sacred flame within us may
burn with a brighter glow. Here, beside the Rock which stands
as the emblem of their faith and courage, we wait for a double
portion of the spirit of the Pilgrims. Here, beside the corner-
stone of our republic, we contemplate with admiration and devo-
tion its yet unfinished superstructure, into which we purpose to
build our own lives. Here, on the soil with which mingles their
hallowed dust, we gaze upward at the monument commemorative
of the qualities that made them great. With confidence in law,
in education, in liberty and morality, surmounted by faith, star-
crowned and heaven-pointing, we thank God for our Pilgrim heri-
tage, and dedicate ourselves anew to these principles ; and we
take each other to witness here our solemn pledge that we will
hand down to our children after us the courage, the loyalty, and
the faith which are our inestimable inheritance from these our
Pilgrim Fathers, and our sires of the American Revolution.

Chaplain Rev. Carlton A. Staples, of Lexington, next enter-
tained the company with stirring, yet witty patriotic remarks. Dr.
Francis H. Brown, of Boston, Registrar of the Society, concluded

l^igtorkal Mcttfy of tfje £ocictp. 33

the exercises with well-chosen, earnest words of congratulation
on the growth of the Society.

At the Managers' meeting, December 21, 1894, Captain Nathan
Appleton, our delegate, gave an interesting account of the placing
of the bronze marker, furnished by the Society, at the grave of
Lafayette, in the Picpus Cemetery, Paris, France, October 19,
1894. Nearly three hundred American and French gentlemen
and ladies assembled at the cemetery to do honor to Lafayette.
The Lafayette family were represented by M. de Sahune Lafayette,
Lieutenant Paul de Sahune, and others. Captain Appleton, in his
presentation speech, conveyed to the French representatives pres-
ent and to M. de Sahune Lafayette in particular, as the representa-
tive of the Lafayette family, the thanks and homage of the American
nation to the memory of his distinguished ancestor. In replying,
M. Lafayette expressed the gratitude of the family and the appre-
ciation of his nation, and said that the ceremony would bind closer
the memories of the great Lafayette and the immortal Washington,
which had always been so honorably linked together.

Captain Appleton presented the applications, which he had
obtained from Gaston de Sahune Lafayette and Lieutenant Paul
de Sahune, great-great-grandsons of Lafayette, for admission to
membership in this Society. It was unanimously voted to admit
them, and also to exempt them from payment of admission or
other fees. The male branches of the Lafayette family having
become extinct by death, the only lineal descendants being through
the female branches, in order that the name might not go out in
France, M. Sahune was authorized by the French government to
add Lafayette to his own family name. Captain Appleton received
the following acknowledgment from M. Lafayette: —

Dear Sir, — I thank you for the steps you have taken, and I have
received recently the diploma which you have sent me as a member of
the Massachusetts Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. Be
so good as to express to the members of the board of management the
thanks of myself and my brother. We are very appreciative of the honor
which has been conferred upon us.

With the expression of our gratitude, and assurances of our most devoted
sentiment, Sahune Lafayette.

In January, 1895, circulars were sent to the selectmen of towns in
the State which had taken no public action in regard to placing

3

34 g>tm$ of tf>e American ftebofation.

markers at the graves of soldiers of the Revolution, urging them
to have inserted in the Town Warrants an article to see if the town
would make an appropriation for such purposes; members of
the Society residing in such towns were notified of the action
desired.

In February, 1895, the Society of Colonial Wars, through its
Secretary, Walter Kendall Watkins, suggested the appointment of
a committee from this Society to confer with similar committees
from the first-named Society and the Society of Sons of the Revo-
lution, for the purpose of hiring suitable rooms for the joint occu-
pancy of the three societies. The President, ex officio, was elected
a member of that committee, and it was voted to authorize him
to appoint two additional members to act with him. S. Arthur
Bent, Esq., having resigned the office of Historian, the Managers
voted to accept his resignation, and to thank him for the valuable
work he had done while in that capacity.

The Seventh Annual Meeting was held in Lexington, April 19,
1895. A special train conveyed about one hundred and thirty
members to Munroe Station, where they were met by a com-
mittee from the Lexington Historical Society, and escorted to the
ancient Munroe tavern, famous for its Revolutionary associations.
Here Rev. C. A. Staples, of Lexington, chairman of the Committee
of Arrangements, gave an interesting account of the history of the
old tavern. Afterwards barges conveyed the visitors to other
notable places identified with the battle of Lexington, April 19,
1775, and Mr. Staples described their connection with that famous
event in our history. At 12 o'clock the Society assembled in the
Unitarian Church, where they were called to order by President
Barrett. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Cyrus
Hamlin, D.D., of Lexington, after which "America" was sung by
the choir and the members of the Society. Robert P. Clapp, Esq.,
of Lexington, welcomed the Society in behalf of the Lexington
Historical Society.

President Barrett exhibited a gavel, presented to the Society for
his use at this meeting, which was made from the wood of an oak-
tree which stood near the birthplace of Colonel William Prescott,
of Pepperell. Mr. Barrett then delivered his annual address, in
which he reviewed the work done by the Society the past year,
and congratulated the members upon the large increase of its
membership, — two hundred having been added since the last

l^i^toncai Mcttl) of tfte ^ocictp. 35

annual meeting; the total number now being about six hundred
and fifty. He spoke of the pleasure it was for the Society to meet
in Lexington. He also referred with gratification to the work
done by the State with regard to the archives. He favored the
placing in every post-office in the country the Constitution and
the Declaration of Independence, so that the children may early
be taught the principles and foundation laws of our land, as well
as those who are coming from foreign countries to seek a home
among us. 1400181

At the conclusion of his address, Miss Minnie Brown, the great-
granddaughter of Minute-men of 1775, sang the "Marseillaise,"
which was enthusiastically applauded. The reports of the Secre-
tary, Herbert W. Kimball; Registrar, Dr. Francis H. Brown;
Treasurer, Dr. Charles M. Green; and Acting Historian, Captain
Nathan Appleton, were then read and accepted.

The following delegates to the Sixth Session of the Continental
Congress of the National Society at Boston, May 1, 1895, were
elected : Edwin S. Barrett, Dr. Edward J. Forster, Nathan Apple-
ton, Charles H. Saunders, Dr. John Homans, 2d, Dr. Charles
M. Green, Levi S. Gould, Theodore C. Bates, Rev. C. A. Staples,
William Barrett, and Lewis Eddy.

Mr. Nathan Warren reported from the Nominating Committee
the following list of officers for the ensuing year, who were elected
by ballot : President, Edwin Shepard Barrett, Concord ; Vice-
President, Edward J. Forster, M.D., Boston; Henry Cabot
Lodge, Nahant ; Nathan Appleton, Boston ; Secretary, Herbert
W. Kimball, Boston; Registrar, Francis H. Brown, M.D., Boston;
Treasurer, Charles M. Green, M.D., Boston; Historian, Charles
K. Darling, Boston ; Chaplain, Rev. Carlton A. Staples, Lexing-
ton ; Board of Managers, James M. Barker, Pittsfield ; Benjamin

A. Gould, Cambridge; Charles H. Saunders, Cambridge; William

B. Clarke, Boston; Allan Rogers, Gloucester; Reuben L. Reed,
Acton ; Walter L. Bouve, Hingham ; Charles W. Parker, Boston ;
Alfred S. Roe, Worcester; Gardner A. Churchill, Dorchester;
Nathan Warren, Waltham ; Levi S. Gould, Melrose; Charles E.
Adams, Lowell; J. Alba Davis, Jamaica Plain; Charles F. Baker,
Fitchburg.

Rev. C. A. Staples made a short address on Lexington's part in
the War of the Revolution ; after which the Society joined with the
choir in singing " Auld Lang Syne." An adjournment was taken

36 £ong of tf>e American ftctoofation,

to meet in the Town Hall for dinner. The company re-assembled
at 1.30 o'clock, and after the divine blessing had been asked by
Rev. C. A. Staples, an hour was occupied in discussing a bountiful
collation ; after which Rev. Luther H. Angier, of Boston, made a
brief patriotic speech, in which he likened Lexington to Bethlehem :
" The latter was the birthplace of Christ, and Lexington was the
birthplace of American Independence. The embattled farmers
with their muskets in their hands were the angels to announce to
the world its advent." At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Angier
entertained the company by singing, with his own piano accom-
paniment, " The Star-Spangled Banner," in which all joined. Hon.
Charles H. Saunders, of Cambridge, followed with a few remarks,
dealing with the Puritan feeling that has always pervaded Massa-
chusetts and the country in general. Walter L. Bouve, Esq., of
Hingham, furnished some entertaining facts relating to the Hing-
ham men who participated in the Revolutionary War. From
Hingham four hundred and fifty men went to the war, and the
town had the honor of being a skirmish-ground for one of the
battles, — the first, in fact, after the battle of Lexington. It also
had the honor of producing Major-General Lincoln. Other speakers
were Captain Nathan Appleton, of Boston; Henry A. Willis, of
Fitchburg ; and Rev. George M. Bodge, of Leominster. On motion
of Dr. Charles M. Green, it was unanimously voted to thank the
citizens of Lexington, and its Historical Society, for their cour-
teous reception.

The Sixth Annual Congress of the National Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution was held in Boston, May I, 1895, at
the Old South Meeting House.

The Massachusetts Society always takes a deep interest in the
Continental Congress, and at its annual sessions has been fully
represented. At this meeting General Horace Porter was the
presiding officer, and Hon. Franklin Murphy the Secretary. The
welcome to the delegates was given by the President, Hon. Edwin
Shepard Barrett, who delivered an interesting historical sketch of
the many places of Revolutionary interest to be seen in Boston
and its vicinity. Among the resolutions offered was one by our
Vice-President, Captain Nathan Appleton, providing for a com-
mittee to take charge of the placing of markers at the graves of all
signers of the Declaration of Independence, wherever they can be
found.

In the evening the Massachusetts Society gave a banquet to the
delegates at Hotel Vendome, which was largely attended by mem-
bers of the Society. Among the distinguished guests of the Soci-
ety who were present was the late Governor Greenhalge, who will
always be remembered as the promulgator of Patriots' Day, April
19th. President Barrett presided, and welcomed the guests. He
was followed with speeches by Hon. Winslow Warren, Collector of
the Port of Boston ; General Horace Porter; General Joseph C.
Breckinridge, United States Army ; and Hon. John Whitehead, of
Newark, New Jersey.

The Convention was brought to a close on the next day, by an
excursion to Lexington and Concord. At Lexington the Rev.
Carlton A. Staples conducted the visitors to the Town Hall, and
then delivered an instructive historical and explanatory address on
points connected with the beginning of the Revolution. From the
Town Hall the party visited the battle-ground and the Clark House ;
they then resumed their journey to Concord, where they were wel-
comed by President Barrett and guided to North Bridge, the statue
of the Minute-man, and other places of interest " where the open-
ing drama of the Revolution was first enacted, and where the tide
of warfare was met and resisted." After partaking of President
Barrett's generous hospitality, carriages were provided to visit
Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and other interesting points. The visi-
tors were unanimous in their expressions of enjoyment derived
from their visits to Lexington and Concord, and voted the Sixth
Congress a great success.

The Society was represented at Newburyport, July u, 1895,
when that city with appropriate ceremonies placed fifty markers
at the graves of its Patriots of the Revolution.

Representatives were appointed to attend the dedication of the
monument, August 27, 1895, m Prospect Park, Brooklyn, New York,
erected by the Marylanders to the memory of her soldiers who
were killed in the battle of Long Island, August 27, 1776. At the
Managers' meeting, July 31, 1895, it was voted to have a flag manu-
factured showing the Society's colors and insignia; and at a later
meeting it was voted to purchase a silk American flag. Rev. C. A.
Staples was appointed a committee to confer with the owner of the
historic Clark House in Lexington, and to ascertain what measures
should be taken for its preservation.

On motion of Mr. Reuben L. Reed, of Acton, it was voted to

38 <£>on£ of fyt American ftcbolution.

convey to the family of the late Joseph Hill, a member of this
Society, and a son of a soldier of the Revolution, the sympathy of
the Board of Managers.

On the 4th of August, 1895, Captain Nathan Appleton, assisted
by Mr. Henry A. May, placed the Society's markers at the graves
of Colonel John, Major Samuel, and Captain John Armstrong;
John Hurd, Jr., and Peter Adams, Jr., buried in the Granary Burial-
ground ; and at those of Peter Mcintosh and John Hooton, buried
in Mount Auburn Cemetery.

A delegation from the Society visited Newbury, September 19,
1895, on the occasion of erecting a memorial by the Newbury
Historical Society, to mark the spot where was encamped Arnold's
expedition against Quebec, which sailed from Newburyport, Sep-
tember 19, 1775.

September 13, 1895, a petition was received from seventeen
members, residing in Springfield and vicinity, for authority to
form a chapter in that city. It was laid upon the table to await
further action of the Society, because no provision existed in
our Constitution for granting charters.

The Field Day of 1895 was observed, October 19th, by an excur-
sion to Peabody and Danvers. A special train to Salem conveyed
about one hundred and fifty members and ladies, who were re-
ceived by a committee from Danvers, composed of William O.
Hood, Dudley A. Massey, and Eben Putnam. At Salem barges
were taken for a ride to Danvers through Peabody. An itinerary
of the many places of historic interest was presented to each ex-
cursionist by the local committee, who left nothing undone to
make this meeting one of the most interesting we have had.
Among the places visited were the Peabody Institute and the
Collins House, a beautiful colonial house, now the residence of
Francis Peabody, Esq. The house was used by Governor-General
Gage in 1774 as his headquarters. At the Judge Holten Cemetery
President Barrett, with appropriate ceremonies, placed a marker
on the grave of the renowned patriot. The birthplace of General
Israel Putnam attracted much attention. In a little low-studded,
pitched-roof room was shown the place where the grand old
patriot was born. After the long ride a bountiful dinner was
served in the vestry of the Universalist Church, Danvers ; after
which a meeting was held for the purpose of enacting an amend-
ment to the Constitution of the Society, providing for the forma-

^i^torical gkcttfy of tfje gatittv. 39

tion of " Chapters," or local organizations ; also for increasing the
fee for admission from one to three dollars : both of which were
adopted. Captain Philip Reade, United States Army, offered
the following resolution, which was adopted : " Whereas, at a
meeting of the Board of Managers holden at Boston on Septem-
ber 13, 1895, a resolution, initiated by the Society of the Colonial
Wars in the State of Illinois, February 22, 1895, was passed, to
prevent the manufacture or use of the National flag, or of the
National coat-of-arms, or a pattern thereof, either by printing,
painting, or otherwise attaching to the same any advertisements
for private gain by public display or distribution, be it hereby
Resolved: That this action by the Board of Managers of this
Society to prevent the misuse of our national emblem is unani-
mously concurred in and indorsed by this Society." Captain
Reade said, in part: "It is often asked what the object of this
association is. It should be the preservation of ' Old Glory.'
Too much is that beloved flag used for purposes for which it never
was intended. Too often do we see our banner used as an
advertising medium."

Hon. Charles H. Saunders offered a resolution of respect for the
character of the late Colonel William Leverett Chase, of Boston,
President of the Massachusetts Society, Sons of the Revolution.
It was voted that the same be entered on the records, and a
copy sent to the family of the deceased and to the Society.

After the business had been finished, President Barrett, with a
few introductory remarks, introduced the speakers : Rev. A. P.
Putnam, D.D., of Concord; Rev. W. H. Trickey, of Danvers;
Rev. O. S. Butler, of Georgetown ; Mrs. E. F. Masury and Ezra
D. Hines, Esq., of Danvers. Mr. D. A. Massey, on behalf of the
town, presented President Barrett with a history of the Danvers
soldiers from the time of the Revolution to the present day. The
meeting then dissolved, and the party took barges for Salem,
whence they proceeded to Boston, and each to his home.

At the Managers' meeting of October 31, 1895, the following
charters for organizing chapters of the Massachusetts Society
were granted: the Old Salem, the Boston, the George Wash-
ington, of Springfield ; and at subsequent meetings, on January
17, 1896, the Old Middlesex, of Lowell; on February 7, 1896,
the Old Essex, of Lynn; on April 17, 1896, the Old Colony,
of Whitman.

At the meeting of December 10, 1895, Mr. Charles E. Adams,
of Lowell, presented the following resolution, which was adopted :
" Resolved : That in the opinion of this Board it would be a grace-
ful and proper tribute to our sister State of Georgia, one of the
original thirteen, to present the Massachusetts building to the
Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution located at
Atlanta; they to furnish a permanent site for the building, and
agreeing to maintain and take proper care of the same. This
would seem to be a fitting and proper recognition of the cour-
teous and untiring efforts of the ladies of Atlanta for the hospi-
table welcome accorded to the people of Massachusetts, and at
the same time confer an honor on our State, and its honorable
Board of Managers, which would be warmly appreciated by the
people of Georgia and of the whole nation." It was voted to
send copies of this resolve to Hon. W. C. Lovering, representa-
tive for the State at the Exposition in Atlanta; and to Mrs. F.
T. Greenhalge, Regent of the Lowell Chapter of the Daughters
of the American Revolution. On the 19th of December the
building was formally delivered to the city of Atlanta, to be held
in trust for the Atlanta Chapter of the Daughters of the American
Revolution.

On the 16th of December, 1895, many °f the members of this
Society attended, by invitation of the Boston Tea Party Chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolution, the celebration of the one
hundred and twenty-second anniversary of the destruction of the tea
in Boston harbor, held in the Old South Meeting House. The ad-
dress of the evening was delivered by Rev. William E. Barton. After
musical selections by a drum and fife corps, and patriotic songs by a
selected chorus from the Tea Party Chapter, Madame Anna von
Rydingsvard, its Regent, extended fraternal greetings, and gave a
sketch of the history of the chapter. Mr. Walter Kendall Wat-
kins offered some interesting facts in regard to the participants
in the Boston tea-party, after which the meeting closed with
singing "America."

At the meeting of January 17, 1896, it was voted to express the
approval of the Society of the bill introduced at the last session of
Congress for the appropriation of $40,000, by the National Gov-
ernment towards building a monument in memory of the Revo-
lutionary soldiers of Maryland, and to urge the Society to use its
influence in advocating the passage of the bill. At this meeting

i^toricai Mtttfy of tfje £ocietp. 41

a petition was received from the Boston Chapter desiring an
amendment to the By-Laws to allow the admission of honorary
members to the Society. It was voted inexpedient to grant this
petition.

Rev. C. A. Staples was appointed to represent the Society in his
efforts, in conjunction with the Lexington Historical Society, to
preserve from demolition the historic Hancock (or Rev. Jonas
Clark) House in Lexington. It was in this house that Samuel
Adams and John Hancock were sleeping when aroused by Paul
Revere on his famous ride. Mr. Staples, at a subsequent meeting
of the Managers, reported that the Lexington Historical Society
had succeeded in making terms for the purchase of the building,
and it will be removed to a place nearly opposite to where it
originally stood. A heliotype and description of the house are
given on a later page.

It was voted to issue a new circular to be sent to all town
officials, who have not yet made appropriations for the purpose,
to bring up at their annual meetings the subject of marking the
graves of soldiers of the Revolution. On motion of Captain
Nathan Appleton, it was voted to place a bronze marker at the
grave of Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia.

At the meeting of February 7, 1896, it was voted to encourage
the publication of the patriotic magazine entitled the " Spirit of
'j6," by a year's subscription for twenty-five copies, the same to
be presented to an equal number of public libraries in the State.
President Barrett and Levi S. Gould were appointed to appear at
a hearing to be held at the State House on the passage of a law
legalizing the appropriation of money by towns for celebrating the
anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

On the 17th of March, 1896, invitations were sent to all the
members to be present at a Reception in commemoration of the
one hundred and twentieth anniversary of the evacuation of Boston
by the British troops, which was held at Hotel Vendome, Boston.
This was a joint reception given in conjunction with the Daughters
of the American Revolution and the Daughters of the Revolution,
and was very largely attended by the members of the three societies.

At the meeting of March 6, 1896, Charles E. Adams, of Lowell,
offered a resolution of respect for the late Governor of our State,
Frederic T. Greenhalge, which was unanimously adopted, and a
copy sent to the family of the deceased expressing the sympathy

42 J>on£ of tJje American ftebolution.

of the Managers in their bereavement. Eulogistic remarks were
made by President Barrett, Mr. Adams, and Charles H. Saunders.

At a meeting of April 3, 1896, it was voted to appoint the
President, the Registrar, and the Secretary a committee to submit
to the annual meeting of the Society recommendations for several
alterations and amendments to the Constitution and By-Laws.

The Seventh Annual Meeting was held in the Old South Meeting
House, Boston, April 20, 1896. There were present about two
hundred and fifty members of the Society. President Barrett in
the chair. Prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Rev. C. A. Staples ;
afterward the President read a letter from Moses Ellery Chandler,
of Maiden, which accompanied a gift to the Society of a gavel
made from a piece of the old Cradle of Liberty. It was voted to
accept the same, and to thank Mr. Chandler for the gift. The
annual reports of the President, Edwin Shepard Barrett ; Treas-
urer, Dr. C. M. Green; Secretary, Herbert W. Kimball; and His-
torian, Major Charles K. Darling, were read by those officials. The
Secretary reported the total membership to be 967, — an increase
of 361 since the last annual meeting, — of whom 15 are actual sons
of Revolutionary soldiers. The report of the Treasurer gave the
receipts to have been $3,307.12; the expenditures, $2,954.26, and
the cash balance, $507.39. The necrology of the year included
the names of four actual sons of Revolutionary soldiers.

Mr. W. K. Watkins offered the following resolve, which was
adopted : " Resolved : That it is the sense of the Massachusetts
Society of the Sons of the American Revolution that the preser-
vation of the Bulfinch front of the State House, by strengthen-
ing the present structure, is a project that should receive the
indorsement of all patriotic citizens."

On motion of Mr. George E. Harrington, of Sudbury, it was
voted to appoint President Barrett and Major Charles K. Darling
to represent the Society at the dedication of a Memorial erected
in Sudbury in honor of Revolutionary Soldiers and Sailors, on
June 17, 1896.

The following amendment to the Constitution was adopted :
Article VI. To increase the number of members required for a
quorum for the transaction of business, from ten to forty. The
following changes in the By-Laws were adopted: Art. I. Sect. I.
Substituting the Registrar, instead of the Secretary, to receive
the admission and annual due fees. Art. I. Sect. III. Members

pgtorical Mcttfy of tjje £ocictp* 43

admitted in January to April, in each year, are exempt from
obligation to pay another annual fee until the end of the next
fiscal year ; giving the Managers discretionary power in remitting
individual dues. Art. II. Sect. I. Designating the term of office
of Managers. " At each annual meeting of the Society there shall
be elected by ballot five Managers to succeed those whose terms of
office expire at that time, to hold office for three years; " and " No
member of the Board of Managers, as such, shall be eligible for
re-election until one year after the expiration of his term of
office." Sect. III. of Art. II. was amended to increase the number
of members required to petition for a special meeting, to twenty-
five. Art. II. Sect. IV. requires the Secretary to notify each mem-
ber of all meetings to be held at least seven days before holding
the meeting. Present Sect. IV. to be renumbered " V." Art. III.
Sect. III. was amended to read : " The fiscal year of the Society
shall end April fifteenth." Sect. IV. of Art. IV. was amended to
require the Managers to hold monthly instead of quarterly meet-
ings, except during July and August, and whenever called by
the President or at the request of five of its members.

A new section was adopted in Art. IV. to provide for the
appointment in February of a Nominating Committee of five
members, four of whom shall be outside the Board of Managers,
to select the name of a candidate for each office to be filled at
the ensuing annual meeting, and to report to the Board of Mana-
gers in March. The Secretary is required to mail to each mem-
ber a copy of the committee's report at least one week before the
annual meeting.

William A. Webster, of Springfield, offered the following reso-
lution, which was adopted : " Resolved : That we feel the great
importance of the complete and thorough study of the history of
this nation from the beginning of the seventeenth century in our
common schools, together with the study of the forms of both
national and state government, with their relations to one another;
and in view of this, the George Washington Chapter presents
this resolution for the consideration of the State Society at the
annual meeting in Boston on April 20, 1896."

The following delegates were appointed to attend the National
Congress held in Richmond, Virginia, April 30,1896: President
Edwin S. Barrett {ex officio), Nathan Warren, Levi S. Gould,
Rodney Macdonough, William Barrett, Grenville H. Norcross,

44 £on£ of tf)e American ftcbolution,

Shepard D. Gilbert, Charles B. Holman, Josiah L. Hale, John M.
Keyes, Eugene F. Endicott, William C. Hardy, John Homans, 2d.

The meeting then proceeded to ballot for officers for the
ensuing year, a list of whom will be found elsewhere. An
adjournment to Hotel Vendome was made, where about two hun-
dred and twenty-five members and invited guests partook of a
bountiful dinner. The large dining-hall had been appropriately
decorated for the occasion, and music was furnished by Baldwin's
Band.

After the banquet, President Barrett introduced Hon. Josiah
Quincy, Mayor of the City, as a member of this Society and a
descendant of a patriot who had been during a century familiar
to the people of Massachusetts. Mayor Quincy spoke, in part,
as follows : —

" I congratulate you upon the establishment of this holiday.
If our Society did nothing else, it has accomplished a most
acceptable public work, in replacing the old Fast Day of this
Commonwealth with this glorious holiday, celebrating the 19th
of April. It places among the holidays of this Commonwealth
an event which, more than any other in its history, ought to be
commemorated by its people. It revives patriotic memories
which no citizen of Massachusetts wants to see dimmed by the
lapse of time.

" We can congratulate ourselves upon the growth and strength of
the sentiment which is represented by this Society, and the revival
of interest in the events of our American Revolution, of a deter-
mination on the part of those of the present generation to keep
alive the glorious memories and the great ideas that we associate
with the events of one hundred years ago ; and we can congratu-
late ourselves that henceforth the Commonwealth of Massachu-
setts, at least, — and perhaps she will in time be followed by some
of her sister States, — will celebrate the anniversary of the day
' the shot was fired which was heard round the world,' and the
first blood shed in the American Revolution.

" I trust that this day may bring back to the minds of all our
people the significance of that event; that it may keep alive in
their hearts and their minds all that was accomplished by the
American Revolution, — its significance, not alone to the people
now constituting the republic of the United States, but to the
people of the whole world ; for where our fathers fired that shot,

^torical £fcetd) of tf>e £ocietp* 45

it was not only heard around the world at the time, but it was
destined to have consequences which have been ever since felt
all around the world."

President Barrett announced that he had received letters from
Lieutenant-Governor Wolcott, Dr. William Everett, Governor
Horatio C. King, and Hon. Walter S. Logan regretting their in-
ability to attend. President Barrett then introduced Hon. Clement
K. Fay, President of the Massachusetts Society of the Sons of the
Revolution. Mr. Fay said, in part: " The age of romance, loyalty,
and chivalry has not gone by. There are duties for us. We must
hold our standard high and must adopt a high plane, and I can
assure you that it makes my heart thrill to look around me and
see no face in this large assembly which is not the face of an
honest American. Far be it from me to disparage the merits of
other nations, or adopt a sycophantic tone and praise them beyond
their merits ; but Americans are good enough for me."

Brief addresses were made by Ezra D. Hinds, Esq., of Danvers;
Hon. Francis H. Appleton, of Peabody ; Dr. Francis H. Brown, of
Boston; and Rev. Charles L. Hutchins, D.D., of Concord.

At the May meeting in 1896, the Managers voted to place
bronze markers at the graves of the Signers of the Declaration of
Independence from Massachusetts; also one at the grave of
Patrick Henry.

An invitation from the Daughters of the Revolution to attend
the ceremony of building a cairn on the top of Penn's Hill, Quincy,
June 17, 1896, was received from Mrs. L. B. Titus, Regent of
Adams Chapter, Daughters of the Revolution, and it was voted to
recommend an attendance of members from this Society. The
cairn was built to mark the spot where Mrs. Abigail Adams and
her son John Quincy Adams saw the smoke and heard the guns
fired during the battle of Bunker Hill.

At the June meeting it was voted that a committee of three
members, consisting of Levi S. Gould, Nathan Appleton, and
Edward W. McGlenen, confer with the selectmen of Arlington,
Massachusetts, for the purpose of placing a tablet on the Revolu-
tionary soldiers' monument erected in Arlington to include addi-
tional names discovered by Mr. McGlenen.

At the July meeting President Barrett read a letter from Hon.
William Wirt Henry, of Richmond, acknowledging the receipt of a
bronze marker sent from this Society for the grave of Patrick Henry.

At the July meeting, at the suggestion of Treasurer Green,
it was voted to make a permanent fund of the sums received
for admission fees, and to keep them in a separate bank de-
posit. Dr. Charles M. Green offered the following tribute of
respect to our late Vice-President, Dr. Edward J. Forster, which
was adopted, and a copy sent to the family of the deceased.
" Resolved : That the Board of Managers of the Massachusetts
Society of the Sons of the American Revolution has learned with
deep regret of the sudden death of Edward Jacob Forster, which
occurred in New York on May fifteenth. For several years Dr.
Forster has held the office of Vice-President of this Society, and
he was always much interested in its work. He was at heart
kindly and genial, always ready to do his part, always helpful to
his associates. In his untimely death the Society has lost a valued
member, and the community an upright, honorable, and useful
citizen. To Dr. Forster's family we offer our heartfelt sympathy."

At this meeting it was voted to accept Dr. F. Ff. Brown's invi-
tation to visit him at his summer residence at Hull, July 18th, and
view the ruins of the Revolutionary fort on Telegraph Hill. At a
subsequent meeting it was voted to recommend to the Metropolitan
Park Commissioners the preservation of the fort by taking the
land on which it was built for a public park reservation.

At the September meeting a tribute of respect to the memory
of our late associate Manager, Gardner A. Churchill, was adopted
and inscribed upon our records.

At the October meeting Dr. Benjamin A. Gould, of Cambridge,
was elected senior Vice-President, in place of Dr. E. J. Forster, de-
ceased ; and Hon. Francis H. Appleton, of Peabody, and Captain
VV. Lithgow Willey, of Boston, were elected to fill vacancies in the
Board of Managers.

The fall Field Day excursion of October 19, 1896, took place
at Newburyport. " Few parts of the country sacrificed more, in
proportion for the sake of freedom, than did Newburyport, in sub-
mitting to have its staple business of ship-building broken up,
incurring large debts for the defence of the harbor, weakening its
population for the supply of the continental armies, and under-
going many other privations and embarrassments attendant on a
state of protracted warfare." The city was arrayed in national
colors to greet the arrival of about one hundred and seventy-five
members, with ladies, who arrived from Boston about ten

^i£torical Mcttl) of tfjc ^ocictp, 47

o'clock A. M., and were met by the local Committee of Arrange-
ments, Messrs. E. P. Dodge, A. C. Titcomb, Cyrus K. Hale, and
Joshua Hale. Barges were in readiness, and the tour of observa-
tion at once began. First they visited the Old South Church,
noted as the place where the eminent Rev. George Whitefield
preached, and where his monument can be seen. Here John T.
Brown, Esq., of Newburyport, extended a welcome in behalf of the
church. He said : " To my own voice of welcome, in behalf of
the worshippers here, are added the tones of the bell in yonder
tower, pealing forth its fullest notes, expressive of the gladness all
have in your presence. The bell was cast by that eminent patriot
Paul Revere ; and this is probably the first occasion on which you
have been welcomed by the voice of Paul Revere, as spoken by his
work from its wooden pulpit in the upper air." He spoke of the
minister who preached there in 1775, Rev. Jonathan Parsons. He
said : " On the Sabbath succeeding Lexington's fight, the minister
stood up in his pulpit to preach liberty and their rights, in the fol-
lowing words : ' Men of America, citizens of this great country,
hovering upon the precipice of war, loyalty to England lies behind
you, broken by the acts of the mother country, a cruel mother,
deaf to the voice of liberty and right ; duty to freedom, duty to
your country, duty to God, is before you ; your patriotism is
brought to a test. I call upon those ready to volunteer for the
defence of the provinces against British tyranny to step into the
broad aisle.' A full company was organized, with Ezra Lunt as
captain. They marched to Boston, and honored themselves and
their cause at Bunker Hill. They were the first volunteers to join
the Continental army."

The party then continued their ride, stopping to inspect the
Garrison House at Newbury. This ancient structure, the main part
of which was built in 1670, and the new part over one hundred
years ago, is one of the oldest buildings in New England. A
drive along High Street was next in order, across Chain Bridge
to beautiful " Hawkswood," which David Wallace, Esq., kindly
placed at the disposal of the visitors. After enjoying a ramble
through the grounds, bordering upon the Merrimack River, the
party again resumed their barges and drove directly to Veteran
Hall for dinner. The platform of the hall was prettily decorated
with autumn flowers and the national colors. This artistic work
was done by the Daughters of the American Revolution.

When all had taken their places at the tables, one hundred and
eighty ladies and gentlemen, President Barrett called the assem-
blage to order, and Rev. W. E. Barton asked the divine blessing.
An interesting discussion of a delicious collation ensued; after
which President Barrett, in well-chosen words, introduced Hon.
A. C. Titcomb, of Newburyport, who extended a cordial greeting.
He was followed by Rev. H. C. Hovey, D.D., of Newburyport,
who said he had the honor of being a member of the Connecticut
Society, Sons of the Revolution, and as such he welcomed the
Massachusetts Society, Sons of the American Revolution. Dr.
Hovey said that on a certain occasion the son of an eminent states-
man of a former generation was received with great applause by
the audience whom he was to address ; and as the applause died
away, an aged man said, " Young man, that applause was for your
father." " And so whatever we may have done ourselves for the
land of our birth, we comprehend perfectly well that the flags fly,
the bells ring, and the cheers are given to-day, not for us, but for
our Revolutionary sires. We join you in forbidding the dust of
oblivion to hide the names of heroes whose sacrifices made America
possible and its myriads of happy homes a bright reality." Dr.
Hovey referred to his grandfather, who was a village blacksmith,
whose story of Revolutionary hardships and triumphs was never
told before a larger audience than might gather round a farmer's
fireside. And he was but a specimen of thousands of Revolution-
ary soldiers whose career was uneventful. They took their wages
in hard-earned Continental money, whose little value can be inferred
from the fact that the Old South Church voted one year the sum
of twenty thousand pounds for current expenses. One object for
which our patriotic order exists is to bring out anew the names of
the men in the ranks who fought not for fame, nor for gold, but
whose names shall now be written forever in letters of gold. Let
us to-day recognize anew the dignity of labor; for when emergen-
cies arise, the monarchs that rule America will be found to be, as
in days of yore, the men in the ranks."

Rev. S. C. Bean, D.D., of Newburyport, was the next speaker.
He referred to four great contests for liberty, — the Magna Charta,
the Puritan Revolution, the American Revolution, and the last one,
to abolish oppression of race and color. He spoke of William
Lloyd Garrison (whose birthplace we visited) as the " morning star
of emancipation," who, with our martyred President, stood for

p?i£torical Mctci) of tftc ^ocictp. 49

equal rights. William Little, Esq., the President of the Histori-
cal Society of Old Newbury, told of the hardships that were en-
dured by Newbury and Newburyport men in the war, and gave
numerous incidents of the past. Mr. Little said he would indorse
all that Dr. Hovey had said about the common soldier; he be-
lieved that the farmers had been among the foremost to leave their
ploughs and enter into the struggle for liberty. Rev. W. C. Rich-
ardson, of Newburyport, was the next speaker. He spoke of the
greatness of the country. He sounded the note of warning in the
coming political crisis, and said that it is the spirit of Americanism
that will settle these questions. Hon. E. P. Dodge made a few
felicitous remarks, which were warmly applauded. Rev. W. E.
Barton, of Boston, referred to the present happy occasion. He
spoke of the historical events called up by the visits to the different
historic places, — more especially to the Quebec expedition, com-
manded by Benedict Arnold, which embarked from Newburyport.
The closing remarks were by Abram English Brown, of Bedford.
He spoke of the benefits of the organizations of a patriotic nature
in their influence on the children. He called upon Mr. E. H. N.
Blood, of Pepperell, to rise and let the audience see an actual son
of a Revolutionary sire. Mr. Blood's appearance was greeted by
applause.

After passing votes of thanks to all from Newburyport who had
so kindly assisted, the meeting dissolved.

JOHN ALLAN 1 746-1805

Born in Edinburgh Castle, Scotland, January 14, 1746. His father
was Major William Allan of the British Army. John Allan was sent
from Nova Scotia to Massachusetts in 1762 to complete his edu-
cation. Here he mingled freely among the people and warmly
sympathized with them. He married in 1767, settling in the
County of Cumberland, Nova Scotia, and held a seat in the Parlia-
ment of Nova Scotia at the outbreak of the Revolution in 1775.
In the fall of 1776 Colonel Allan left Nova Scotia, and reached
Machias. He remained in Machias several weeks, and then pro-
ceeded to Boston, and from there he made the journey to Baltimore
on horseback. He arrived at headquarters, and was presented to
General Washington, with whom he dined on December 22, 1776.
His buildings were burned and his crops destroyed by the British,
and a loss of over ten thousand dollars' worth of property caused
thereby. His wife and children were turned into the woods in bit-
terly cold weather. Colonel Allan served in Eastern Maine through-
out the war, as Colonel of Infantry and Continental Agent and
Commander-in-Chief of Eastern Indians, 1 773-1783, and then
returned to Boston, resigned his commission, and honorably closed
his accounts.

AMMI CUTTER, Menotomy 1 733-* 795

At the Lexington alarm ; the day of the battle he participated in the
capture of a convoy of provisions at Menotomy belonging to Lord
Percy's reinforcement, detained at the passage of the Charles until
beyond protection of the main body of troops. Two of the guard
were killed and several wounded ; the remainder fled to the shores
of Spy Pond, threw their guns into the water, and then surrendered
to an old woman who delivered them up to the Provincials. On their
return to their homes they captured Lieutenant Gould of the Fourth
British Infantry, who had been wounded. As the British troops,
retreating from Lexington, entered Menotomy, Cutter hastened from
his house to advise his neighbor, the heroic Jason Russell, to leave

itaorfc of itcbolutionarp 3Cnccgtor£, 229

his home for a place of greater security. Russell refused, and ex-
claimed, "An Englishman's house is his castle." Cutter left him,
and, getting over the wall on the other side of the road, saw the
enemy's flanking party close behind him. Being quickly fired upon,
he fled, and, stumbling, fortunately fell between some logs at the mill
near by, the bullets knocking the bark over him. The foe, suppos-
ing him dead, passed on. Jason Russell and his companions were
all killed.

JOSIAH QUINCY, Junior 1744-17 75

consult and advise with the friends of America there ; in constant
communication with Franklin, Lord Shelburne, Colonel Barre, Gover-
nor Pownal, and others of the English Whigs, in the interest of the
patriotic party in Boston ; an associate of Samuel Adams, John
Adams, James Otis, Joseph Warren, and other leaders ; died on his
return voyage from England, off Cape Ann, April 26, 1775.

Gordon, in his History, I. 318, says: " My friend Quincy has sac-
rificed his life for the sake of his country. The ship in which he
sailed arrived at Cape Ann within these two days ; but he lived not to
get on shore or to hear and triumph at the account of the Lexington
engagement. His remains will be honorably interred by his relatives.
Let him be numbered with the patriotic heroes who fell in the cause
of liberty, and his memory be dear to posterity. Let his only sur-
viving child, a son of about three years, live to possess his noble
virtues, and to transmit his name to future generations."

SAMUEL WHITTEMORE, Cambridge 169 7-1 793

Lived near the present line of Cambridge and Arlington ; a substantial
citizen, and a Selectman of Cambridge for seventeen years; held
other important trusts, before and during the Revolution. As Lord
Percy's Brigade passed his house about noon of April 19, 1775,
the old man became aroused, and no persuasion of his wife that he
was too old (seventy-eight years) would avail ; he wanted to see
and know "what was going on," and, with the old musket and
pistols, with the powder-horn which he used twelve years before
in the old French war, he went up town. He made the remark,
" If I can only be the instrument of killing one of my country's
enemies, I shall die contented ; " he had his wish ; on their return
flight he lay behind a wall, fired, and a soldier fell ; then with pistols
another, and wounded the third ; at that time a bullet shot away part
of his cheek-bone, on which the soldiers ran up to the wall, bayoneted,
and otherwise misused him. They said they had killed the old rebel ;
yet he survived to see the complete overthrow of his enemies, and his
country enjoy the blessings of peace and independence.

Was at Lexington in the company of his son Jeremiah, with three other
sons, and some of his sons-in-law. After the company had marched,
he, at the age of seventy- six, followed them on foot and alone "to
see what the boys are doing." Standing with some Americans not
far from the field, the British soldiers came in sight. He immediately
pointed them out to his companions, saying, " If you aim at the middle
one, you will hit one of the three." They did so, and were successful ;
but as he held out his hand a musket-ball passed through it. He
coolly bound up his hand with his handkerchief, picked up the gun
of the fallen regular, and carried it home as a trophy.

SEAL AND BADGE.

GENERAL INFORMATION

MATTERS OF HISTORICAL INTEREST.

SEAL.

The Seal of the National Society is one and seven-eighths of
an inch in diameter, and consists of the figure of a Minute-
man standing by the side of a plough, surrounded by thirteen
stars ; the whole encircled by a band three-eighths of an inch
wide, upon which in raised letters is the name of the Society, with
the date of organization. That of the State Society is identical
with that of the National Society, except that within the name of
the parent society is the motto " Massachusetts Society, organized
April 19, 1889."

INSIGNIA.

The Badge. — Obverse: A gold cross of four arms and eight
points, of the same size as the Chevalier's Cross of the French
Legion of Honor, with white enamelled arms. In the centre is a
gold medallion bust of George Washington in profile, surrounded
by a ribbon in blue enamel, on which is the motto of the Society
in gold letters, " Libertas ct Patria." Between the medallion and
the points of the cross is a laurel wreath. Reverse : Like the
obverse; the medallion, however, has the figure of a Minute-man,
surrounded by a ribbon in blue enamel, containing in gold letters
the words, " Sons of the American Revolution." The cross is sur-
mounted by an eagle in gold, suspended by a ribbon of blue silk
with white edges.

The cross is a reproduction of the emblem of the French Order
of St. Louis, with certain changes, and was adopted to commem-
orate the assistance given to the Colonies by Louis XVI., Grand
Master of that Order. The medallion, containing the head of
Washington and the figure of the Minute-man, is fitly placed upon
a cross of such an origin and associations.

^ong of tfje American ftetoolution.

The Rosette. — The rosette is a button in the shape of a
raised cup, of blue and white ribbon. It is to be worn in the upper
left-hand button-hole of the coat.

The only badge now authorized by the National Congress is that
described above, superseding all forms previously used. The
price of the badge, or cross of St. Louis, adapted to this Society, is
nine dollars. It may be obtained of Messrs. Tiffany & Co., of New
York, on presentation of a certificate of
membership, which will be furnished by
the registrar. The rosette may be pro-
cured of the registrar for twenty-five cents.

MARKERS.

The subject of identifying and marking
the graves of the Revolutionary Soldiers
of Massachusetts has for some time en-
gaged the attention of many of their de-
scendants, who feel that as time rolls on
the locality of these graves may be obliter-
ated and lost.

The General Court, by an Act passed in
1884, Chap. 42, authorized towns to appro-
priate money for the purpose as follows : —

"An Act to authorize towns to grant and
vote money for certain memorial purposes :
Towns may at legal meetings grant and
vote such sums as they judge necessary
for the purpose of erecting headstones or
other monuments to the memory of per-
sons who, accredited to their respective
quotas, served in the military or naval ser-
vice of the United States in the Revolution-
ary War, the War of 18 12, the Seminole
War, and the Mexican War ; and for keep-
ing in repair and decorating such monu-
ments and the graves of such persons."

The Massachusetts Society of the Sons of the American Revolu-
tion has procured a design and caused it to be cast in iron and

our Revolutionary heroes. The National Society of the Sons of
the American Revolution has adopted our marker, and many have
been ordered for the different States of the Union. This marker is
of iron and bronze ; at the top of the rod is a cross one foot in
diameter, with the figure of the Concord Minute-man in the centre.
Each arm of the cross contains a letter of the inscription, S. A. R.
(Soldier or Sailor of the American Revolution), the lower arm
having the date 1775. In this way the graves of thousands of sol-
diers and sailors may be identified and marked, and on each recur-
ring Memorial Day receive the homage of a grateful people.

The managers have twice addressed circulars to the officers of the
various cities and towns of the Commonwealth, asking them to in-
sert a clause in the warrants for annual meetings, appropriating a
sum of money to purchase such Revolutionary markers as may be
required. Since that time about 2,200 graves have been identified
and marked in the following cities and towns in the Commonwealth :

THE ASSOCIATION TEST.

It has been well said that the inhabitants of the thirteen Colonies
in America had been for over a hundred years getting ready for
the Revolution. Whatever may have been the motives which
brought them to this country, — whether as traders, fishermen, or
farmers, or on religious, social, or political grounds, — the some-
what heterogeneous company of immigrants felt strongly, in their
earlier years, the bonds which united them to the mother country;
but, as they became attached to the new land, as new generations
were born and grew up here, the spirit of liberty, engendered by
their isolation and by a natural wish to be self-governed, became,
each year, more marked, and fitted the Colonies for the final strug-
gle beginning in 1775. The constant contests with the Colonial
and Provincial Governors and the Crown officers, unjust taxa-
tion, the appointment of governing officers from a distance, and
numberless other grievances were never-ending provocations to
independence.

All through this formative period we find the people, in vari-
ous places, associating themselves for purposes of support and
co-operation. The first formal method of securing such concerted
action, however, was by the legislative enactment which is shown
in the Association Test.

In the troubled days between the Battle of Bunker Hill and the
Evacuation of Boston, the patriot people of Massachusetts felt, as
never before, the desire to draw more nearly together in common
support, and to separate those in all the towns who still remained
loyal to the Crown from those who had made up their minds to be
free. Such action as was taken was decided and definite. The sig-
nature to such a test marked the writer as a true patriot, if success
followed the struggle for freedom, as distinctly as it placed the
halter round his neck if such struggle were not successful. With
a full knowledge of this alternative, the Council of Massachusetts, in
February, 1776, took the action which is indicated in their records
(XXXI. 521). The explanation which follows is quoted verbatim
(with permission) from the notes made by Hon. Abner C. Goodell,

496 *f>tm£ of tfjc American ftetoohitton,

Jr., in the fifth volume of the Province Laws, Boston, 1895. The
copy of the Association Test here represented is from one of those
sent to the town of Lexington, and includes the names of many of
the leading men of the period belonging to that place.

" Feb. 1, 1776. In the House of Representatives — ordered that
Mr. speaker, Colonel Orne, and Colonel Freeman, with such as the
Hon'ble Board may join, be a Committee to bring in a bill, estab-
lishing a Test, by which all persons inimical to the rights and
Libertys of America, shall be distinguished from their Friends,
and to provide some Methods to secure us against the Practices
and designs of our Enemies. And that it be an Instruction to the
Committee that they immediately, and previous to their reporting
any Bill for this purpose, write to the delegates of this Colony at
the American Congress, and obtain information from them, whether
the Congress have taken, or are about to take, any measures for
this purpose, or if they have taken any, what those measures are. —
In Council Read and Concurred and William Sever and Thomas
Cushing Esq. are joined."

The journals of the Continental Congress do not show the recep-
tion of this application; but on the 14th of March, 1776, the
resolve was passed, together with the following : —

" Ordered. That a copy of the foregoing resolution be trans-
mitted by the delegates of each colony to their respective as-
semblies, Conventions, or Councils or Committees of Safety." —
(Journals of Congress.)

On the 20th of March a message was sent up from the House
to the Council to know if they had " Concurred in a vote of this
House, appointing a committee to bring in a test act," and on the
third day of April the above-mentioned resolve of the Continental
Congress was brought down. Two days later the report of a
Committee on these resolves was brought down, read, and recom-
mitted, with directions to the Committee to report " a form of an
association to be tendered by the committees of the several towns,
to such persons as they shall have reason to suspect are disaffected
to the American Cause."

The report was read again the same day, and recommitted, —
the former vote having been reconsidered, — with directions to the
Committee to bring in a bill for carrying into execution the resolve
of Congress. On the 10th of April the Committee was ordered to

General information. 497

consider the Act lately passed by the Assembly of Connecticut, for
restraining and punishing persons who are inimical to the liberties
of the United Colonies, and bring in one bill for these purposes.
On the 23d some changes were made in this Committee, and it was
" directed to sit this forenoon and proceed upon the bill until they
have finished it," and on the 26th the bill was brought down, with
an indorsement that it had been read twice and unanimously
passed to be engrossed by the Council. On the 27th the bill was
read a second time, and on the 29th, after having been committed
to Messrs. Sullivan, dishing, and Freeman, it was read a third time
and passed to be engrossed, with amendments, and was sent up to
the Council. On the 30th the bill was brought down with a vote
of the Council proposing amendments, which were concurred in, and
a further amendment proposed by the House ; and on the first day
of May it was passed to be enacted, with the following order for
distribution of printed blanks of the test declaration :

" Ordered that Col. Freeman, get the Association contained in
the Act passed this Day printed, so many as shall be sufficient to
furnish each Town with three, and disperse the Same accordingly."
(House Journals, p. 229.)

During the first session of the next General Court attempts were
made to alter and amend this Act.

June 1 a motion to this effect was lost; but on the 17th of that
month a bill was reported for allowing those who had signed the
declaration in this chapter to erase their names and to sign the
new form prescribed by the proposed bill ; the bill was passed to
be engrossed June 25, and on July 2 a resolve was passed requir-
ing the Committee of Inspection and Safety of each town to
omit tendering the test paper or requiring the inhabitants of
the Colony to sign the same. A committee was also appointed
to consider the Test Act with a view to alter and amend the
same.

Chapter 21 of the Province Laws of 1775-76, after a preamble,
prescribed in the first section that all persons who refuse the test
be disarmed ; the form of the test follows. Sections two, three,
and four provide the mode of proceeding against delinquents, and
the disqualifications following refusal or neglect to sign ; and other
sections still further prescribe the method of carrying out the Act.

498 £><m$ of tfyc American ftcbolution.

The Act is entitled " An Act for the executing in the Colony
of the Massachusetts Bay, in New England, one resolve of the
American Congress, dated March Fourteenth, one thousand seven
hundred and seventy-six, recommending the disarming such per-
sons as are notoriously disaffected to the cause of America, or who
refuse to associate to defend by arms the United American Colo-
nies against the hostile attempts of the British fleets and armies ;
and for the restraining and punishing persons who are inimical
to the rights and liberties of the said United Colonies, and for
directing the proceedings therein."

THE HANCOCK-CLARKE HOUSE IN
LEXINGTON.

Rev. JOHN HANCOCK — the second minister of Lexington, settled
in 1697 — built the little one-story ell seen in the picture, and
occupied it in 1698. It was a very humble structure, measuring 24
by 21 feet, yl feet in height, and contained a large living-room, a
small bedroom and study, and two attic-chambers above. Here
he lived for thirty-six years, and here his five children were born
and grew up to manhood and womanhood. The oldest son, John,
graduated at Harvard, and became the minister of Braintree, now
Ouincy, where his son John, the future president of the Continental
Congress and first governor of Massachusetts, was born. Another
son, Ebenezer, also graduated at Harvard, and became the colleague
of his father in the ministry, and the schoolmaster of Lexington.
A third son, Thomas, was apprenticed to Daniel Henchman, a
bookseller in Boston, became an enterprising merchant, married
Henchman's daughter, and rose rapidly in wealth and influence,
until he possessed the largest fortune in Boston and was chosen
one of the Governor's Council. In 1734 he bought Beacon Hill,
and erected the famous stone mansion known as the Hancock
House of Boston. In the same year he built the two-story addi-
tion, seen in the picture, to the house of his father in Lexington,
adding four large rooms and making the home of his parents far
more comfortable and pleasant. Thomas Hancock, having no chil-
dren of his own, adopted his nephew, young John Hancock, and

500 £ong of tfte American ftetoolutiom

left him by will a fortune of £80,000 sterling, including the grand
mansion in Boston. Much of the youth of the future governor
was passed with his grandparents in Lexington, his father having
died when he was but seven years of age, leaving him to the care
of his relatives. Here he prepared for college, graduating in

1754-

After the death of the aged Lexington minister, in the fifty-sixth
year of his pastorate, the house where he had passed so many
eventful years became the home of his successor, Rev. Jonas Clarke,
who married his granddaughter, Lucy Bowes, of Bedford. Here
Mr. Clarke lived till his death, in 1805, a period of fifty years, and
here his twelve children were born, six sons and six daughters,
from whom have descended a large number of men and women
distinguished as teachers, clergymen, physicians, and authors in
our State and in the nation.

Rev. Jonas Clarke was an ardent patriot, and by his preaching
inspired his people with the love of liberty. He was a leader in
the cause of Independence, not in Lexington only, but in Middlesex
County, and his house became the rallying-place of the patriots
for consultation upon the state of the country and the defence
of human rights. And here came those noble patriots, Sam
Adams and John Hancock, after the adjournment of the Provincial
Congress at Concord, April 18, 1775, to pass the night with Par-
son Clarke. In the evening a guard of Minute-men was placed at
the house for their protection ; and here at midnight came Paul
Revere, to warn them of their danger and send them away to a
place of safety. From the house in the early morning was seen
the firing on the Common that ushered in the long and bloody
conflict that won our independence and gave us an honorable place
among the nations of the earth. Surely a house so identified with
the great and good men of our history and the birth of a mighty
nation ought to be preserved and cherished with faithful care, to
kindle the love of liberty and the love of Country in the generations
to come.

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN GOVERNOR
JOHN TRUMBULL OF CONNECTICUT AND
GOVERNOR GAGE OF MASSACHUSETTS.

THE letters which follow are given at this point, as a suitable
sequence to the items concerning Lexington matters. They show,
somewhat markedly, the spirit of the people of Connecticut. There
is no uncertainty in the tone of the letter which, with true Amer-
ican independence, repeats the grievances under which the inhabi-
tants of the country were suffering, makes an assertion of what
they believe to be their privilege to defend their rights to the last
extremity, demands to know why fresh troops are sent to the
country, and then calls upon the Royal Governor to explain him-
self upon this important subject. The apologetic reply of the
Governor is in marked contrast.

The letters are now for the first time put in print, from the origi-
nal manuscripts at the Massachusetts State House (Mass. Arch.
I. 90, 146). For permission to use them, the Society is indebted
to the kindness of Mr. James J. Tracy, Chief of the Archives
Division.

Hartford, April 28* 1775.

Sir, — The alarming situation of Public Affairs in this Country & the
Late Unfortunate Transactions, In the Province of the Massachusetts Bay,
have induced the Gen! Assembly of this Colony now sitting at this place,
to appoint a Committee of their Body to wait upon your Excellency, &
to desire me, in their Name, to write to you, relative to these very
interesting Matters.

The Inhabitants of this Colony are intimately Connected with the Peo-
ple of your Province, & esteem themselves bound by the strongest ties
of friendship, as well as of common Interest, to regard with attention
whatever concerns them. You will not therefore be surpriz'd, that your
first Arrival at Boston with a Body of his Majesty's Troops, for the de-
clared purpose of carrying into Execution, certain Acts of Parliament,
which in their Apprehension were unconstitutional & oppressive, sho'd
have given the good People of this Colony, a very just & general Alarm.

502 £on£ of tfje American ftctoolution.

Your subsequent proceedings in fortifying the Town of Boston. & other
Military preparations greatly increased their Apprehensions for the safety
of their Friends & Brethren. They could not be unconcern'd Spectators
of their Sufferings, in that which they esteem'd the common Cause of this
Country, but the late hostile & secret Inroads of some of the Troops under
your command into the Heart of the Country, & the Violences they have
committed, have driven them almost to a state of desperation. They feel
now not only for their Friends, but for themselves, & their dearest Inter-
ests and Connections. We wish not to exaggerate, we are not sure of
every fact of our Information, but by the best Intelligence, that we have
yet been able to obtain, the late Transaction was a most unprovoked
Attack upon the Lives & Property of his Majesty's Subjects, and it is rep-
resented to us that such Outrages have been Committed, as would Disgrace
even Barbarians, & much more Britons, so highly fam'd for Humanity as
well as Bravery. It is fear'd therefore, that we are devoted to Destruction,
& that you have it in Comand & Intention to ravage & Desolate the
Country. If this is not the Case, Permit us to ask, why have these Out-
rages been committed, why is the Town of Boston now shut up, to
what End are all the Hostile preparations that are daily making, & why
do we continually hear of fresh destinations of Troops to this Country? —
The People of this Colony, you may rely upon it Abhor the Idea of
taking Arms against the Troops of their Sovereign, & dread nothing so
much as the Horrors of a Civil War ; But, Sir ! at the same Time, we beg
Leave to Assure your Excellency, that, as they apprehend themselves
justified by the Principle of Self-Defence, they are most firmly resolv'd to
defend their Rights & Priviledges, to the last Extremity. Nor will they be
restrain'd from giving Aid to their Brethren, if any unjustifiable Attack is
made upon them. Be so good, therefore, as to explain yourself upon this
most important subject, so far as is consistent with your Duty to our com-
mon Sovereign; Is there no way to prevent this unhappy Dispute from
coming to extremities? Is there no Alternative but absolute Submission,
or the Desolations of War? By that Humanity which constitutes so
amiable a part of your Character, & for the Honour of our Sovereign, &
by the Glory of the British Empire, we entreat you to prevent it if possi-
ble. — Surely it is to be hoped that the temperate Wisdom of the Empire,
might even yet find Expedients, to restore Peace, that so all Parts of the
Empire, may enjoy their particular Rights, Honours, & Imunities. Cer-
tainly this is an Event most devoutly to be wished. And will it not be
consistant with your Duty, to suspend ye Operations of War on your Part,
& enable us on ours to Quiet the minds of the People at least 'till the
result of some further Deliberations may be known?

The Importance of the Occasion will no doubt sufficiently Apologize

aBcneral information. 503

for the earnestness with which we Address you, & any seeming Impro-
priety which may attend it, as well as Induce you to give us the most
explicit & favourable Answer, in your power.

I am with great Esteem & Respect

in behalf of yf Gen! Assembly
Sir
Your most Obedient
Hhb.,e Serv^

j. T l.

" To his Excell? Tho* Gage Esq1: "

Boston 3d May 1775.

Sir, — I am to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 28th April
last, in behalf of the General Assembly of your Colony, reletive to the
alarming situation of Publick Affairs in this Country, and the late trans-
actions in this Province. That this situation is greatly alarming, and that
these Transactions are truly unfortunete, are truths to be regretted, by
every Friend to America, and by every well wisher for the Peace, pros-
perity, and happyness of this Province. The Intimate Connection and
strong Ties of friendship, between the Inhabitants of your Colony, and the
deluded People of this Province, cannot fail of Inducing the former, to
interpose their good Offices, to convince the latter, of the Impropriety of
their past conduct, and to persuade them to return to their Allegiance,
and to seek redress of any supposed Grievances, in those decent, and con-
stitutional methods, in which alone they can hope to be successfull.

That troops should be employed, for the purpose of protecting the
Magistrates, in the execution of their Duty, when opposed with violence,
is not a new thing, in the English, or any other Government. That any
Acts of the British Parliament are unconstitutional or Oppressive, I am not
to suppose ; if any such there are, in the Apprehension of the People of
this Province, it had been happy for them, if they had sought relief, only
in the way which the Constitution, their Reason, and their Interest pointed
out.

You cannot wonder at my Fortifying the Town of Boston, or making
any other Military preparations, when you are assured, that previous to my
taking these steps, such were the open threats, and such the Warlike prep-
arations, throughout this Province, as rendered it my indispensable duty to
take every precaution in my power, for the protection of His Majesty's
Troops under my Command against all hostile Attempts.

The Intelligence you seem to have received, relative to the late excur-
tion of a Body of Troops into the Country, is altogether injurious, and

504 J»on^ of t&c American ftctoolution.

Contrary to the true state of Facts. The Troops disclaim with Indignation,
the barbarous Outrages of which they are accused, so contrary to their
known humanity. I have taken the greatest pains to discover if any were
committed, and have found examples of their Tenderness, both to the
young, and the Old, but no Vestige of cruelty or Barbarity. It is very
possible that in firing into Houses, from whence they were fired upon,
that Old People, Women, or Children, may have suffered ; but if any such
thing has happened, it was in their defence, and undesigned. I have no
Command to ravage and desolate the Country ; and were it my Inten-
tion, I have had pretence to begin it, upon the Sea Ports, who are at the
Mercy of the Fleet, for your better information, I inclose you a nar-
rative of that Affair, taken from Gentlemen of indisputable honor, and
veracity, who were eye witnesses of all the Transactions of that day.
The Leaders here have taken pains to prevent any account of this Affair
getting abroad, but such as they have thought proper to publish them-
selves ; and to that end, the post has been stopped, the mails broke open,
and letters taken out ; and by these means the most injurious and inflam-
matory accounts have been spread throughout the Continent, which has
served to deceive and inflame the minds of the People.

When the resolves of the Provincial Congress, breathed nothing but
War, when these two great and essential Prerogatives of the King, the
levying of Troops, and disposing of the publick monies, were wrested
from him ; and when Magazines were forming, by an Assembly of men,
unknown to the Constitution, for the declared purpose of levying War
against the King ; you must acknowledge it was my duty, as it was
the dictate of humanity, to prevent if possible, the Calamities of a
Civil War, by destroying such Magazines — This, and this alone, I
attempted.

You ask, why is the Town of Boston now shut up ; I can only refer you
for an Answer, to those Bodies of Armed Men, who now surround the
Town, and prevent all access to it. The hostile preparations you mention,
are such as the Conduct of the People of this Province, has rendered it
prudent to make, for the defence of those under my Command. You
assure me the People of your Colony, abhor the Idea of taking Arms
against the Troops of their Sovereign ; I wish the People of this Province,
(for their own sakes,) could make the same declaration.

You enquire, is there no way to prevent this unhappy dispute, from
coming to extremities, is there no Alternative, but absolute submission, or
the desolations of War, I answer I hope there is. The King and Parlia-
ment seem to hold out Terms of reconciliation, consistant with the honor
and Interest of Great Britain, and the rights and priviledges of the Colo-

General ^ifarciatiro* 50 5

nies. They have mutualy declared their Readiness to attend to any real
Grievances of the Colonies, and to afford them every Just, and reasonable
Indulgence, which shall in a dutifull, and constitutional manner be laid
before them ; and His Majesty adds, it is his ardent wish, that this disposi-
tion, may have a happy effect, on the Temper, and Conduct of his subjects
in America. I must add likewise, the Resolution of the 27- February, on
the grand dispute of Taxation and Revenue : leaving it to the Colonies, to
Tax themselves, under certain conditions — here is surely a Foundation
for an Accomodation, to People who wish a reconciliation, rather than a
destructive War, between Countrys so nearly connected, by the Ties of
Blood and Interest, but I fear that the Leaders of this Province, have been,
and still are, intent only on shedding blood.

I am much obliged by your favorable sentiments of my personal Char-
acter : and assure you, as it has been my constant wish and endeavour
hitherto, so I shall continue to exert my utmost Efforts, to protect all His
Majesty's liege subjects under my care, in their persons, and property.
You ask, whether it will not be consistant with my Duty, to suspend the
operations of War on my part &c. I have commenced no Operations
of War, but defencive, such you cannot wish me to suspend, while I am
surrounded by an armed Country, who have already begun, and threaten
farther to prosecute an Offensive War ; and are now violently depriving
me, the Kings Troops, and many others of the Kings subjects under my
Immediate protection, of all the conveniences, and necessarys of life,
with which the Country abounds, but it must quiet the minds of all
reasonable People, when I assure you, that I have no disposition to injure
or molest, quiet and peaceable subjects ; but on the Contrary, shall esteem
it my greatest happyness, to defend, and protect them, against every
species of Violence, and Oppression. —

I am with great Regard and Esteem
Sir

your most obedient

humble servant

HISTORIC BUILDINGS IN CONCORD.

THE church of the First Parish in Concord was built in 1712,
although a Society was formed as early as 1636, and was, says
Winthrop, the thirteenth established in the Colony.

The first Provincial Congress was held in this church, October
11, 1774. The second convened March 22, 1775, and adjourned
April 15, four days before the British invaded the town to destroy
the large quantity of stores which for six months the Provincials
had been gathering. Another object of the British expedition was
to capture Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Colonel James Barrett,
and other leading patriots who were in attendance at this Congress
at Concord. The Committee of Safety also met in Concord on the
1st, 5th, 14th, and 17th of April, showing that great excitement and
interest prevailed throughout the State on the part of the Provin-
cials, and seemed to centre in this old town and around this old
meeting-house.

The following inscription has been placed on a tablet in front of
the church : —

" The First Provincial Congress of Delegates from the Towns of Massa-
chusetts was called by conventions of the people to meet at Concord on
the nth day of October, 1774.

" The Delegates assembled here in the Meeting House on that day and
organized with John Hancock as President and Benjamin Lincoln as
Secretary. Called together to maintain the rights of the people, the
Congress assumed the Government of the Province and by its measures
prepared the way for the War of the Revolution."

Wright Tavern, now standing in Concord on the parish grounds,
was built in 1747, and for most of the time since its erection has
been used as a tavern.

When the British marched into Concord on the early morning
of the 19th of April, 1775, the commanding officer, Major John
Pitcairn, took this tavern as his headquarters, and, calling for a
glass of brandy, stirred it with his slightly injured bloody finger,
and remarked that was the way he would stir the damned
Yankee blood before night ; he kept his word, and the road

from Concord Bridge to Charlestown Harbor was a pathway of
flame for the British, lined by the indignant Provincials from
twenty-three towns.

THE HOME OF COLONEL JAMES
BARRETT.

Colonel James Barrett was born in Concord, July 31, 1710,
and died April 11, 1779. In 1768 he was chosen by his towns-
men as Representative to the General Court, and re-elected each
year until 1777. He was a member of the State and County Con-
ventions held during that important period, a member of the Com-
mittee of Safety and of each of the Provincial Congresses. When
it was decided to collect and deposit stores at Concord, in view of
the attitude of the Colonists toward Great Britain, Colonel Bar-
rett was appointed to superintend the stores and aid in their col-
lection and manufacture. He was colonel of the Third Regiment,
organized March, 1775, and in command April 19, though then
sixty-four years of age. Of the various committees chosen by the
county and town, for raising men, procuring provisions, and for
other purposes, he was a prominent member. He was the chief
mustering-ofncer of Middlesex County, and had charge and direc-
tion of all the provincial stores gathered at Concord prior to
April 19, and immediately afterwards. He was looked upon as a
leading patriot, and the British had orders to effect his capture
when they made their expedition to Concord to destroy the military
stores there gathered. On the 17th and 18th of April he was active
in having the provincial stores secreted, and some moved away to
adjoining towns. His own house was used as a depot of supplies,
wherein were stored barrels of musket-balls, cartridges, flints, etc.,
which were concealed in casks in the garret and covered with
feathers ; in this way discovery was prevented when his house was
searched by a company of British soldiers. In the garden at the
rear of the house, furrows were ploughed in which muskets were
placed and covered up. The British soldiers collected some gun-
carriages in order to burn them in the yard of the house ; but
before they could carry out their intention the conflict at the old
North Bridge was heard, a mile away, and they rapidly retreated.

508 M>on$ of tlje American ftebolution.

Out of the large amount of provincial stores which had been
collected at Concord, only $1,400 worth were destroyed, and thus
the main object of the British was a failure ; but they succeeded in
bringing on the American Revolution.

Colonel Barrett was commissioned anew on February 7, 1776, as
Colonel of the Third Middlesex Regiment. He resigned later, on
account of his age, in favor of Eleazer Brooks. He was prominent
in hiring and enlisting men at the time of the capture of General
Burgoyne, and continued chief mustering-officer of Middlesex
County until his death in 1779.

His house, now about two hundred years old, is still standing in
the westerly part of Concord, on the Barrett's Mill Road ; it is
occupied by his direct descendants, and is one of the few remain-
ing historic Revolutionary houses of Middlesex County.1

THE MONUMENT AT SUDBURY.

DURING the year 1896 the town of Sudbury, one of the patriotic
communities which have rendered the county of Middlesex famous,
has distinguished itself by the erection and the dedication of a
granite memorial in honor of the soldiers and sailors of that town
who served in the Revolutionary War. It was dedicated with
interesting ceremonies on Bunker Hill Day, June 17. The Hon.
Homer Rogers, who is a native of Sudbury, officiated as president
of the day. The oration was delivered by Hon. John L. Bates, of
Boston ; the Hon. Charles F. Gerry delivered an original poem.
The Massachusetts Society of Sons of the American Revolution
was officially represented on the occasion of the dedication by three
of its members ; namely, Major Charles Kimball Darling, Colonel
D. S. Lamson, and Mr. E. W. McGlenen.

The monument stands on a knoll in Sudbury centre which
overlooks one of the most ancient graveyards in the section. In
this lie some two hundred or more of the men who hurried to
Lexington or Concord on the eventful April morn, or later fought
at Bunker Hill. It is of Quincy granite, the whole design being

surmounted by a figure, heroic in size, of a Continental private in
full uniform. It is cut in Westerly, Rhode Island, white granite,
and the entire height of the monument and statue is seventeen feet.
A. F. Haynes, of Watertown, was the architect of the monument,
a descendant of Deacon Josiah Haynes, of Sudbury, who at eighty
years of age was killed at the Battle of Lexington.

The memorial was largely the gift of Mrs. Joanna (Parker)
Gleason, a descendant from Revolutionary stock. Mrs. Gleason
died, October 16, 1896, and was laid to rest only a short distance
from the monument in which she was so deeply interested.

Misses May E. Goodnow and Alice E. Bent, who are descended
from patriots of the American Revolution, unveiled the monument
on the day of its dedication.

This inscription appears in raised and polished letters: on
the front, "Tribute of Sudbury to her Revolutionary Patriots;"
on the opposite side, "Erected, 1896, in Honor of the Soldiers
and Sailors of Sudbury who Fought at Lexington, Concord, Bun-
ker Hill, and other Battles of the Revolutionary War, 1775-

I733."

A representation of the statue surmounting the monument is
given as an accurate and carefully studied description of the pre-
scribed dress of the soldier in the State militia and the Continental
army. The uniform is thus described: The coat was made of a
dull reddish homespun cloth ; it was long, single-breasted, and cut
away from the waist down ; knee-breeches and leggings covered
the lower limbs; there were double cross-belts, to which were
attached the cartridge-box, a bag for bullets and flints, priming
wire and brush. A flintlock " King's arm," when such could be
had, was carried ; if not, the old shotgun was taken from over
the kitchen fireplace. The officers, or rather their neighbor lead-
ers, wore cocked hats and top-boots. The private had a hat
similar in form, but of cheaper material, without any designating
ornament.
