This veteran Captain of the French and Indian
War, born in Woburn, Mass., settled here about
1765 as an original proprietor of Monadnock
No. 4, now Fitzwilliam. After the Battle of
Lexington, he recruited several companies
to form the Third New Hampshire Regiment
which aided General Stark at the Battle of
Bunker Hill in the Revolutionary War. He was
commissioned a Brigadier General following
the siege of Boston and his engagement at
the Battle of Ticonderoga.
