About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1878 Excerpt: ...to the towns of this county. The minute-men were at once organized; the crews of the fishing fleet at Plymouth abandoned their vessels in the harbor; the farmers of Hanover left their ploughs in the furrows, and hastened to attack the "Queen's Guards," under Balfour, at Marshfield. Had not Col. Cotton restrained the enthusiasm of his soldiers, the whole company of British regulars would have been captured, and the men of this county would have won the honor of taking the first prisoners in the war of the Revolution. The British troops fled to Boston; and since the last file of Balfour's soldiers, in their retreat, crossed the county line, no hostile army has encamped within the limits of our county. To each call for troops for three months, six months, nine months, three years, and at last for the war, by authority of the Acts of the General Assembly, your town contributed its share. I have had the opportunity recently to examine the original rolls of the mustering-ofilcer for this county, giving the quotas of the several towns, the number of enlistments, the names, residence, term of service, age; height, complexion, of each soldier; and in that faded manuscript I find that Hanover sent seventy-one men to the war. The manuscript record of the census of the towns of Plymouth County, for the year 1790, shows the entire population of Hanover, men, women, and children, free born and slaves, to have been only one thousand and eighty-three; and the number of males above the age of sixteen, only one hundred and ninety-eight. According to those figures, after making due allowance for those enfeebled by disease or the infirmities of age, nearly one-half of the entire able-bodied men of Hanover, capable of bearing arms, served as soldiers in the Revolution...
