  • Notes 
    • Jedediah Munroe was a private in Captain Parker's company, and rallied with his townsmen in defence of freedom on 19 Apr 1775. He was wounded during the morning, but because his devotion to the cause was so very deep and couldn't be quenched by the first flow of blood, he marched with his company toward Concord to meet the British on their retreat. He was slain on the road to Concord that afternoon, at the age of 54.
