AN HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE MASSACHU- SETTS SOCIETY OF THE SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
This volume will give a brief account of the origin of the Massachusetts Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, with the roll of members, and the services of their ancestors in the Revolutionary War; together with the officers and constitution of the National and State societies.
Under the impulse given to the patriotic sentiment of the country by the organization in California in 1876 of the "Sons of Revolutionary Sires," a meeting, pre- liminary to the organization of a similar society in Massachusetts, was held at the State House in Boston, March 30, 1889, when a temporary organization was made, and a committee appointed to report a consti- tution and a list of officers. At a subsequent meeting in Tremont Temple on April 19, a modified form of the constitution and by-laws of the New Jersey Society was adopted, and the following officers were chosen :
President, Hon. Charles H. Saunders, of Cambridge ; Vice-President, Hon. Wm. M. Davenport, of Marlboro'; Secretary and Treasurer, C. S. Ward, of Allston; Histo- rian, A. A. Stocker, M.D., Cambridge; Registrar, L. L. Tarbell, of Marlboro'.
Managers: John L. Stevenson, Boston; Nathan L. Revere, Worcester; A. H. Ward, Allston; Mark J. Fol- som, Cambridge; Peter Fay, Southboro'; Hon. H. H. Coolidge, Boston; J. G. Crawford, Clinton; George W. Brown, Lexington ; George A. Cotting, Hudson ; William

B. Clarke, Boston; Alfred B. Fry, Boston; William H. Pearson, Roxbury ; Calvin P. Ladd, Worcester; William Barnes, Marlboro'; and J. M. Cushing, Duxbury ; Henry S. Huntington, of Dorchester, chaplain.
The admission fee was fixed at two dollars. It was subsequently voted that the annual meeting be held on the nineteenth of April, a day consecrated by the memories of Concord and Lexington. But the first annual meeting was this year held on another day, equally dear to the patriot heart of Massachusetts, - the Seventeenth of June, the anniversary of " Bunker Hill." At the business meeting, Alfred B. Fry was elected Secretary ; John L. Stevenson, Treasurer; C. A. Staples, Chaplain ; and A. Scott Harris, of Chelsea, and W. C. Sampson, of Boston, were added to the Board of Manag- ers. Following the dinner, at the Parker House, speeches were made by the President, the Rev. Alexander Mc- Kenzie, the Hon. G. B. West, of Alabama, Gen. Edward H. Hincks, and Messrs. Tarbell, Fry, Barrett, and Clarke.
At a meeting of the Managers, August 7, 1889, Edwin S. Barrett, of Concord; James M. Barker, of Pittsfield; and Moses P. Palmer, of Groton, were elected to fill vacancies on the Board.
The Society visited Concord, October 19, 1889, on the occasion of its first autumnal field-day, and in com- memoration of the final surrender at Yorktown. The day was perfect, and about one hundred members availed themselves of the opportunity to visit this old historic town, which becomes in each succeeding year a most attractive Mecca to the tourist, philosopher, and the his- torian.
Barges were in readiness on arrival of the train from Boston, and the many places of historic interest were visited, including the old North Bridge, "Where once the embattled farmers stood, and fired the shot heard round the world ; " the Old Cemetery, where many of the Revo-
17
SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
lutionary heroes were buried; South Bridge, where a de- tachment of British troops were stationed to prevent reënforcements entering the town.
A meeting was held in the First Parish Church in the forenoon, where a few words of welcome were spoken by Edwin S. Barrett, followed by a report from the Presi- dent, the Hon. Charles Hicks Saunders, of Cambridge, and an oration by the Hon. Lucius P. Deming, of New Haven. The meeting in this historic church was of pe- culiar interest, as here was held the meeting of the Pro- vincial Congress in October, 1774, presided over by John Hancock as chairman, and Benjamin Lincoln as secre- tary. Another congress was held in the following April in this same church. But long before this, at three o'clock in the morning of April 19, 1689, the citizen- soldiers of this town assembled on the green in front of this First Church, and after religious services by the minister of the church, started for Boston to help put down Sir Edmund Andros. Eighty-six years later to a day and to an hour, on the same spot, in front of the same church, on April 19, 1775 - the world knows what they were gathered for when the midnight ride of Paul Revere called them from their beds. Another period of just eighty-six years had passed, and again the Concord militiamen met on that same green. Again it was eighty- six years to a day and almost to an hour, for it was be- tween three and five in the morning of April 19, 1861, when the Concord boys assembled in answer to a mid- night summons, and after prayer by the pastor of the same church, started off in answer to the call of Abraham Lincoln and Governor Andrew.
The Battle Lawn estate of Mr. Barrett, which embraces a portion of the battlefield, was also visited, where some ancestral swords and Revolutionary commissions were exhibited.
Dinner was served in the parlors of the church, and at the close, interesting speeches were delivered, and an original poem was read by the Rev. B. R. Bulkeley,
18

pastor of the church. It was certainly a notable day for all who participated.
At a meeting of the Managers, January 31, 1890, the Registrar reported two hundred and twenty-one names of members on the roll. It was voted to unite with the Society of the Cincinnati and the Loyal Legion, to pre- vent the unlawful wearing of the badges and rosettes of the three organizations.
The second annual meeting of the Society was held at Lexington, April 19, 1890, President Saunders in the chair. Two hundred and sixty members were reported on the roll. At the election of officers, the Board of last year was reelected, except that the Hon. Edwin S. Barrett was chosen Vice-President, and Messrs. Henry J. Hosmer, of Concord; Henry A. Willis, of Fitchburg ; and Stephen D. Salmon, of Somerville, directors, to fill vacancies.
A public meeting was then held in the Unitarian meeting-house, with an order of exercises as follows : I. Voluntary on the organ. 2. Prayer. 3. Singing of " America." 4. Address of welcome by the Rev. Edward G. Porter. 5. Response by President Saunders. 6. Ex- planatory address by the Rev. Carlton A. Staples. 7. Patriotic solo by Miss Minnie Brown. 8. Addresses by the Hon. L. P. Deming, of New Haven, Ct .; General John L. Swift, of Boston; the Hon. L. C. Pumpelly, President of the New Jersey Society; and General How- ard L. Porter, of New Hampshire. 9. Singing " The Star-Spangled Banner." 10. Addresses by John H. Morgan, of New York, and the Hon. F. T. Greenhalge, of Lowell. A dinner, with impromptu speaking, closed the occasion.
The Society held its second semi-annual meeting, October 15, 1890, at Plymouth. The members were ac- companied by the ladies of their families. At the Samoset

House barges were taken for the various points of in- terest: the new Monument, Forefathers' Rock of 1620, the Soldiers' Monument, the Old Burial Ground, the Cushman Monument, the grave of Governor Bradford, the Court-house, - where were seen old charters dating back to 1620, with the original box in which they were brought from England, and autographs of Governors Bradford and Winslow, of Miles Standish, and many others of the early Pilgrims; the sites of the houses on Leyden street, the first street laid out in New England ; and, lastly, Pilgrim Hall, where an hour was spent in looking over the relics of the past two hundred years and of the voyage of the " Mayflower." A dinner was served in Lyceum Hall to one hundred and twenty-five guests. After prayer by the chaplain, the Hon. William T. Davis, of Plymouth, made a speech of welcome, full of interesting reminiscences of the early days of the colony. President Saunders replied, saying that it was the object of this Society to maintain and per- petuate the patriotic spirit of the men of the Revolution, and that their children had met to-day in this consecrated spot to gather fresh inspiration for their work. Remarks were also made by Messrs. Churchill, Sleeper, and House, of Plymouth; Osborne, of East Bridgewater ; Barrett, of Concord ; the Rev. Mr. Staples, of Lexington, and others.
The third annual meeting of the Society was held April 20, 1891, at the Waverley House, Charlestown. About two hundred and fifty members were present. The Registrar reported the membership to be over four hundred, an increase of about one hundred and fifty during the year.
The following officers were then elected for the current year : President, Edwin S. Barrett; Vice-Presidents, Charles M. Green, M.D., Charles H. Joy, and Edward J. Forster; Secretary, A. Scott Harris; Historian, A. A. Stocker, M.D .; Treasurer, John L. Stevenson ; Registrar,

Palmer, Henry Guild, William Barnes, Samuel Hall, and Edwin F. Waters.
It was voted that the President and Vice-Presidents appoint the delegates to the National Convention, to be held at Hartford, Ct., April 30, 1891. The assembly then marched to Bunker Hill Monument, under direction of Colonel Stevenson and the escort of the Acton Fife and Drum Corps. They were welcomed by the Hon. F. W. Lincoln, President of the Bunker Hill Monument Associ- ation. The assembly then proceeded to Central Hill, Somerville, where they inspected one of the redoubts which formed a part of the American line of intrench- ments during the siege of Boston; also to Gun Park, where 8-inch cannon obtained by Act of Congress are mounted on breastworks said to have been erected by General Putnam at the time of the battle of Bunker Hill. Thence they proceeded to Cambridge and to the Washington elm, under the branches of which General Washington assumed command of the Continental army, July 3, 1775. At this spot the Society was welcomed by Mayor Alger, of Cambridge, who pointed out various objects of historical interest. Returning they passed the Longfellow (Craigie) house, used by General Washing- ton as his headquarters in 1775-76. On arrival at the Waverley House the Society dined, and a speech was made by the retiring president. He was followed by Colonel H. N. Fisher, who gave a very interesting account of the battle of Bunker Hill. Other speeches followed from the Rev. Alexander McKenzie and the Rev. Dr. Muzzey (89 years old). President-elect Barrett then thanked the Society for the honor conferred on him. Messrs. Hun-
2I

newell, Davis, and others also made remarks, when the meeting was brought to a close.
At a meeting of the Board of Managers, April 24, 1891, a committee was appointed to select a representative from each town to promote the object of the Society and in- crease its membership.
Messrs. Forster, Greene, Martin, Orcutt, Palmer, Cot- ting, Porter, President Barrett, ex-President Saunders, and Registrar Tarbell were appointed delegates to attend the annual meeting of the National Society at Hartford, Conn., on the 30th of April.
At a meeting of the Board of Managers, July 30, 1891, the president read an invitation from President Webb, of the National Society of S. A. R., to attend the Ben- nington celebration on August 19; also one from the Vermont Historical Society and one from the Governor of Vermont. A committee with full powers was ap- pointed to act in the matter, and on the day of the celebration the following-named members of the So- ciety visited Bennington : Edwin S. Barrett, of Concord ; George A. Cotting, of Hudson; L. L. Tarbell, of Marl- boro'; Nathan D. Harrington, of Somerville; John C. Hovey, of Cambridge; Joseph Hill, of Hyde Park; John C.
