The Battle of Lexington
Mendon's Minute Men
This day occurred the Battle of Lexington and upon the general alarm which followed. Mendon furnished the following Minute Men. Their names may be found on the muster rolls in the State Archives at Boston and were copied by the late Maj. Dexter F. Parker of Worcester who was collecting materials for a history of the County of Worcester. By the kindness of Mrs. Parker I am allowed the privilege of copying from his minutes. - J. Metcalf MD
