They met Samuel Prescott coming back from visiting his girlfriend. She was a sister to a minuteman that played a role in the activities of the following day. Prescott was captured and died in captivity. The minuteman brother died of swamp fever during the war. My linage goes through a different brother that survived. When the British retreated from Concord to Lexington they burned the family’s home and clock factory resulting in my family suffering 1/4 of the country’s losses on April 19th, 1775.
