OF
AMERICAN MILITIA AND MINUTE-MEN
IN
THE BATTLE OF APRIL 19, 1775,
MOSTLY FROM THE
ARCHIVES OF THE COMMONWEALTH
OF MASSACHUSETTS,
BUT A FEW FROM OTHER SOURCES.
COMPILED BY
FRANK WARREN COBURN.
LEXINGTON, MASS., U. S. A.,
PUBLISHED BY FRANK WARREN COBURN.
1912.
The Following Matter, Including the Muster Rolls, is not Copyrighted.
FRANK WARREN COBURN.
I have copied the greater part of these patriotic names from the original Rolls in the Archives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, where they were filed soon after the battle of April 19, 1775, as claims against the State for services on that and succeeding days.
These Companies were all participants, with the exception of those of Dracut, Stow and Westford. I have given them, as they came so nearly into the contest. We know there were scores of others also, who started with the same patriotic fervor, but who were too many miles away. Their records of time and distances are also in the State Archives.
Of all the participating Companies, as I have given them, there were but ten that filed no claims for services rendered, and they were: two from Acton, the one from Arlington, two from Brookline, the four from Concord, and the one from Lexington. I am able to give the Rolls of four of those (perhaps imperfectly), but cannot give the two of Acton, two of Brookline, and two of Concord.
I have made no attempt to correct the spelling of names, believing such a task to be beyond my ability, and I imagine the interested reader would much prefer, himself or herself, to make any such change in the family name as may be deemed necessary or fitting.
In most of the Rolls the names of the slain are omitted. I have not attempted to restore them, as I am not sure in every case to which Company they may have belonged. They will be found, however, in the preceding part of this book as the "Americans Killed, Wounded, and Missing."
Frank Warren Coburn.
Lexington, Mass., November 5, 1912.
THE BATTLE OF APRIL 19, 1775.
On Lexington Common, and the First Company in the Contest.
As no claim for services on April 19 was filed with the Commonwealth, I have no official Roll. Hudson, in his "History of Lexington," gives the names of one hundred and twenty as constituting the Company, and in the genealogical department of the same work gives several others. In the depositions of participants published in the "Journals of Each Provincial Congress of Massachusetts, 1774-5," are quite a number who named themselves as of Parker's Company, one of them being Phillip Russell; and Moses Harrington, in the same, places "Jr." after his name. In this Company I have also included the two Woburn men, Robert Douglass and Sylvanus Wood, who joined Parker on the Common at break of day, and accepted his invitation to become members for that occasion.

In the vicinity of Concord were two regiments, one of militia under Col. James Barrett of Concord, with Ezekiel How of Sudbury as Lieutenant Colonel, and one of minute-men under Col. Abijah Pierce of Lincoln, with Thomas Nixon of Framingham as Lieutenant Colonel, and John Buttrick of Concord as Major. These two regiments did not appear as such at the North Bridge, the entire force there at the opening being under the command of Barrett, who directed the advance to be led by Major Buttrick. Quite a number of the Companies of each were in line, but not in regimental formation.

There were four Concord Companies present, commanded respectively by Captains Brown, Miles, Minot, and Barrett. No claims for service were filed with the Commonwealth in their behalf, therefore, I can present no official Rolls. I found in Tolman's "Concord Minute Men" a roster of Brown's Company, and for those constituting Miles's Company I am indebted to the rare original manuscript belonging to the late Dr. Charles E. Clark of Lynn, and which was sold at auction by C. F. Libbie & Co., in Boston, Jan. 15, 1901, for $275.00.
