5. JONATHAN6 LORING (Joseph,5 Joseph,4 Joseph,3 John,2 Thomas1), born 7 Feb. 1749-50, died at Mason, N. H., aged 100.
He was a member of Capt. Parker's company, and was with it upon the Common on the morning of 19 April 1775. He was with the detachment which marched to Cambridge on 6 May, and also on Bunker's Hill on the day of the battle, and at Cambridge two months in the campaign of 1776. His name appears also on the list of men who enlisted in Lexington for three years, or during the war, among those who served in the Continental Line, or the regular army of the Revolution. He not only performed his duty after the war had begun, but he performed an important duty introductory to the affair of 19 April 1775. On the evening of the 18th, when it was known that certain British officers had gone toward Concord, he volunteered with two others to go and watch their movements. He was taken prisoner and kept several hours, until on the return of these officers he was set at liberty near Lexington Common, about daylight.
This family acted a conspicuous part on that memorable occa- sion. The church plate was kept at the house of Deacon Loring, and fearing that the British soldiers in their vandalism might de- stroy it, Lydia Loring, a sister of Jonathan, took the precaution to secrete it under some brush not far from the house, and so prevented it from being destroyed, or carried off with the rest of the property of the family.
He moved with his family to Mason, N. H.
He married first RHODA HOAR, died 22 Oct. 1809, aged 52, daugh- ter of John; secondly 13 Feb. 1812 MRS. HANNAH ( ) DANFORTH. Children, all except first baptized at Lexington:
