HISTORY OF LEXINGTON
OVERING
JOHN OVERING of Boston bought of William Russell of Lexing- ton, for £308, in 1729, a tract of fifty-one acres, with buildings thereon, bounded on land of Jason and Philip Russell and Joseph Mason. In 1735, and 1737, he sold lands to Deacon Joseph Brown, and in 1738 he bought lands in Lexington of David Comee. John Overing the second of Lexington was a son - presumably - of John Overing, Esq., of Boston, and came to Lexington, probably, about 1730. He was a man of some property, and in 1735 was taxed in town for three houses, two slaves, three cows, and two horses, besides other personal and real estate. He left town possibly about 1740. There is a record of the death of three of this name, but their identity is uncertain.

4. JONAS5 PARKER (Andrew, 4 John,3 Hananiah, 2 Thomas1), born 6 Feb. 1721-22, died 19 April 1775.
He was one of the first who fell on the Common. "History, Ro- man history," said Edward Everett, "does not furnish an example of bravery that outshines that of Jonas Parker. A truer heart did not bleed at Thermopylæ. He was next-door neighbor of Mr. Clarke, and had evidently imbibed a double portion of his lofty spirit. Parker was often heard to say that be the consequences what they might, and let others do what they pleased, he would never run from the enemy. He was as good as his word, - better. Having loaded his musket, he placed his hat, containing his ammunition, on the ground between his feet, in readiness for the second charge. At the second fire from the enemy, he was wounded, and sunk upon

his knees; and in this condition he discharged his gun. While load- ing it again upon his knees, and striving in the agonies of death to redeem his pledge, he was transfixed by a bayonet, and thus died on the spot where he stood and fell."
