HITCHINGS, NATHAN,-probably son of Daniel and Hannah (Ingalls) Hitchings, was born in Saugus, November 23, 1741, brother of Daniel, John, Abijah, and Nathaniel. His home was in the farm-house of Breakhart Hill, with its pleasant view down the valley of the Saugus River, where lies Pranker's Pond. He was married July 16. 1771, by Rev. John Treadwell, to Abigail Larrabee. born in 1737. Ile was

with Captain Parker's company on the 19th of April, 1775, and in July enlisted in Captain Eleazer Lindsey's company, Colonel Jacob Gerrish's regiment, and at Malden, July 6, took the oath required by the Conti- nental Congress. His receipt for ad- vance pay was given at Malden, August 3, and the document is preserved in the state archives. Upon the dismissal of Captain Lindsey from the service, he entered the company of Cap- tain Daniel Galeucia, of Lynn, and was attached to Colonel Ben- jamin Ruggles Woodbridge's regiment. Having enhisted for eight months, he was given an order for a bounty coat at Malden, December 22, 1775. May 11, 1777, he was mustered into service again, the town of Lynn having voted on March 3 to give every soldier enlisting for three years a bounty of £14. He was attached to Captain Foster's company, Colonel Nixon's regiment, and later to Captain Japhet Daniels's company of the same regiment, having marched from Lynn to New York, where the regiment was stationed. He was in the Bur- goyne campaign, and fought in the battles of Stillwater and Saratoga. After the surrender of Burgoyne he remained on duty in the northern department. He was in the assault on Stony Point, and assisted with other Lynn men in the capture. At the time of Arnold's treason he was at West Point, and witnessed the execution of André. His term having expired, he returned to Lynn and again enlisted, June 23, 1781, agreeable to a resolve of December 2, 1780. His second term of en- listment was for three years, but before it was over peace was declared, and he again returned to Lyun after having served a period of over eight years. He died in Saugus, October 23, 1821, and his wife Abigail died there, February 28, 1819. They are buried in the old cemetery at Saugus Centre, where a double stone marks their graves. A bronze marker was erected in 1903.
HITCHINGS, NATHANIEL,-son of Daniel and Hannah (Ingalls) Hitchings, was born April 1, 1751. The most that can now be known of him is gathered from his pension application made in 1818. He was pen- sioned under the act of 1818, at which time he was feeble and infirm, but of sound mind, a house carpenter by trade. Seven years later he was very infirm, with wife aged sixty-seven, and, unless pensioned, must have depended upon charity. Mr. Samuel Sweetser testified
[ 307 ]
Lynn in the Revolution
in his behalf, saying that, when he, Sweetser, was a selectman in Lynn, in 1776, he had paid Hitchings a bounty to enlist. This second appli- cation was made because of having been dropped from the rolls in 1820. It resulted in his being restored, July 25, 1825. Ilis service was for at least two years in the war, having enlisted in April, 1775, and served as sergeant in Captain Bacon's company, Colonel Ger- rish's regiment, for the first eight months of the war. The first of Jan- uary he enlisted in Captain Benjamin Pollard's company, Colonel Jonathan Brewer's regiment, and served as a non-commissioned officer until discharged at Fishkill a year later. His death occurred in Lynn. September 14, 1834, at the age of eighty-three.
HITCHINGS, THOMAS,-son of Ezra and Keturah (Newhall) Ilitchings. was born November 15, 1762, in Saugus. He was married by Rev. Thomas Hitchings Mr. Roby, January 10, 1787, to Ruth Burchstead, daughter of Dr. Benjamin Brame Burchstead, born about 1768. Their children were Thomas, Benjamin Burchstead, Ruth, Ezra, James Tyler, Keturah, Myra, George, Ros- well, and Edward. Seven of these children lived to be over seventy years of age.
October 2, 1832, Thomas Ilitchings appeared before the Probate Court, at the age of seventy, and made oath that he enlisted in October, 1779, at Lynn, and served one month and sixteen days in Captain Addi- son Richardson's company, Colonel Jacob Gerrish's regiment, and marched to Albany to reinforce the Continental Army, and was dis- charged at Greenbush. In June, 1780, he enlisted, and served six months in Captain Hook's company, Colonel Rufus Putnam's regi- ment, marching first to headquarters at West Point and then down North River. He was honorably discharged at West Point, but lost his discharge paper.
Thomas Hitchings died February 14, 1839. and his widow applied for a pension in her own name, but was rejected. She died November 1, 1842. Later her sons, Roswell and Edward, applied for a pension, but it was not granted.
The home of Thomas Hitchings, "eighty rods east of the Asa Rhodes house," was called the Master Hitchings house, because Thomas was a teacher of music. For many years he led the singing in the old West

Parish Meeting-house and taught a singing school. He was a man much respected, and lived and died upon the place where his large family was reared.
HITCHINGS, WILLIAM,-private, son of Elkanah and Eunice (Newhall) Hitchings, was born in Saugus, June 9, 1747. He served with the Saugus company at the Lexington alarm. He probably went to Rich- field, N.Y., after the war. His descendants may be found in New York and Vermont.
HOLMES, GEORGE .- A George Holmes, of Lynnfield, died in February, 1817. His property on inventory amounted to about $90. This included his title to land granted him as a soldier of the Revolution, $50, also an old gun and accoutrements, $6.50. Just before his deatlı he was carried to Woburn, January 6, 1817, and died there, February 4, 1817. He is noted in Woburn deaths as "a stranger." Ile was a private in Captain Stephen Wilkins's company, Colonel Wigglesworth's regiment, with pay abstract for travel home from Albany, two hundred and forty miles. Sworn to January 15, 1777.
HOPKINS, CHARLES,-return of men raised in Essex County for Conti- nental service, agreeable to resolve of December 2, 1780; engaged for town of Lynn; engaged December 18, 1781; term during the war.

Ezekiel Howard enlisted in Captain Ezra Newhall's company, Colonel Israel Hutchinson's regiment, January 1, 1776, for one year. He was at Fort Washington and Fort Lee, and crossed New Jersey with Wash- ington. At the end of the year he re-enlisted for six months more, at the end of which time he was honorably discharged. Joshua Dan- forth and Thomas Florence both stated that they served with him in 1776 and that he lived in Saugus. The Massachusetts rolls also give service in Captain Simeon Brown's company, Colonel Jacob Gerrish's regiment, from April 2, 1778, to July 3, 1778, three months, and two days. Roll dated at Winter Hill. He was pensioned in 1818, at $8 per month, and died December 26, 1819. His wife, Anna, survived him, dying in Saugus, June 25, 1829. Both are buried in the old ground at Saugus Centre.

HUDSON, THOMAS KILBY,-son of Moses and Catherine (Kilby) Hudson, was born in Lynn, April 9, 1756; married July 27, 1780, by Rev. John Treadwell, to Rhoda Ramsdell, daughter of Nehemiah and Deliverance (Smith) Ramsdell, born August 31, 1754. Their children, all born in Lynn, were Thomas Kilby, Nehemiah Ramsdell, Nathan, James, John, Joseph, Delia, Betsey.
Mr. Hudson died August 18, 1814, and is buried with his wife, who died April 16, 1821, in the old Western Ground, at the right of the entrance, among the Hudsons. A gravestone and marker were erected in 1903. Mr. William E. Hudson, of Estes Street, living in 1903, at the age of eighty-six, was his grandson. At the close of the Revolution Thomas Kilby Hudson served his apprenticeship as a shoemaker with Thomas Newhall. Mr. Hudson served in the company of Captain Joseph Hiller, Colonel Titcomb's regiment, at Rhode Island, during the summer of 1777, and the following summer did guard duty under Captain Samuel Huse, in and around Boston.
HUNT, JOHN,-died, probably near Saratoga, in the late spring of 1777, of small-pox. Mr. Hallowell mentions this fact in his narrative. Noth- ing is known of this man. The Massachusetts rolls give his name among those raised by John Flagg to serve in the army from February, 1778, but this is evidently a mistake or the reference is to another man of the same name. They also give service as private in Colonel Put- nam's (5th) regiment from March 4, 1777, to June 16, 1777, and that he was reported "died June 16, 1777."
HUTCHINSON, NATHANIEL,-sergeant, son of Nathaniel and Catherine (Bryant) Hutchinson, was born in Saugus, June 2, 1746. His parents removed to Lyndboro, N.H., where they both died. Nathaniel, Jr., was married by Rev. Joseph Roby, November 16, 1770, to Mary Heard. He was a tithing-man in 1770 and fence-viewer in 1781. Aside from this his name does not appear in town or church record. His military service, so far as is known, ended with that at the Lexington alarm, to which he responded with his brother Thomas. His brother Timothy was later in the Revolution. During the war he took up his residence in Pepperell, Mass., where he with his wife was admitted to the church in 1781. He was elected deacon of the church there April 28, 1789. No record of his death or burial-place has been found, but it is sup- posed that he died in Pepperell and was buried there.

HUTCHINSON, THOMAS,-private, third son and fifth child of Nathaniel Hutchinson, Sr., was born in Saugus, June 28, 1753. His brothers, Timothy and Nathaniel, were in the Revolution. He was a member of Captain Parker's Saugus company, of which his brother Nathaniel was sergeant, and which marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775. On the 4th of May, 1775, he enlisted in the Continental Army, then form- ing in Cambridge, and was assigned to Captain Ezra Newhall's com- pany, Colonel John Mansfield's (19th) regiment, and signed a receipt for advance pay at Cambridge, June 8, 1775. At the battle of Bunker Hill he was present with his company on Cobble Hill, within sight of the battle, but did not go into the engagement. After the retirement of Colonel Mansfield he continued to serve in the same company, then commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Israel Hutchinson. He went into camp on Winter Hill in the fall, and on November 4 received the cus- tomary order for a bounty coat for having enlisted for eight months. He spent the winter in camp, watching the British in Boston, and was with his company when it marched into the town upon its evacuation by the British. His brothers, Timothy and Nathamel, removed to Pepper- ell, Mass., after the war, and it is possible that he accompanied them. for no record has been found of his having been in Lynn after 1776. HUTCHINSON, TIMOTHY,-son of Nathaniel, Sr., was born in Saugus, July 24, 1758; married in Pepperell, Mass., February 2, 1783, to Prudence Eliot. He was brother of Nathaniel and Thomas, members of Cap- tain David Parker's Saugus company, which marched on the Lexing- ton alarm. Timothy appears in a list of six months' men raised agree- able to the resolve of June 5, 1780, in Middlesex County, also in a descriptive list of men raised to reinforce the Continental Army for the term of six months; received by Brigadier-General John Glover at Springfield, July 8, 1780; age, twenty-one years; stature, 5 ft. 8 in .; complexion, light; engaged for town of Pepperell; marched to camp. July 8, 1780, under command of Ebenezer Kent.
INGALLS, BENJAMIN,-probably son of John and Abigail (Stocker) Ingalls. was born in Lynn in 1762; married by Rev. Mr. Roby, July 5, 1783. to Susannah Burrill, daughter of Theophilus and Martha (Newhall) Burrill, born August 27, 1762. Benjamin Ingalls was drowned in Lym Harbor, in trying to throw over an anchor, in April, 1785. There was one child, Theophilus.

Lynn in the Revolution
This is the only man in the Ingalls genealogy who seems to fit the military service found in the rolls. From the fact that he was drowned while fishing it seems possible that he may have followed this occupa- tion and that he is the same man who served as a sailor in the Revolu- tion, although the age does not agree. Benjamin was a nephew of Eleazer Collins Ingalls, and his sister married Enoch Mudge, a Revo- lutionary soldier. The service in the rolls of Benjamin is as follows: "Appears a sailor in the Brigantine 'Rover,' commanded by Captain Adam Wellman; descriptive list of officers and crew sworn to July 30, 1780; age, twenty-two years; stature, 5 ft. 6 in .; complexion, dark ; residence, Lynn. There also appears a Benjamin Eagles among a list of prisoners taken by the British, May 3, 1781, and committed to the old Mill Prison, England, July 23, 1781; residence, Lynn. Taken from the Brig 'Hasket & Ann.'"
INGALLS, DANIEL,-was a private in Captain Farrington's company, but no authentic record of his birth has been found. He may have been the son of Daniel and Sarah (Fletcher) Ingalls, born in Andover, Mass., February 11, 1758. His only military service was upon the 19th of April, 1775. He was married October 8, 1778, by Rev. Mr. Tread- well, to Elizabeth Lewis, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Newhall) Lewis, born in Lynn, November 4, 1758. Ilis home was in Wood End, near the present Ireson Avenue. His children were: Elizabeth, Hepzibah, Hannah, Samuel, Joseph, Hannah, Joseph, Hannah, Joseph. He was living in Lynn as late as 1790.
INGALLS, ELEAZER COLLINS, private, son of Joseph and Rebecca (Col- lins) Ingalls, and great-great-grandson of Edmund Ingalls, was born in Lynn in 1731. He was married November 27, 1758, by Rev. Mr. Henchman, to Elizabeth Lewis, daughter of Edmund and Hepzibah (Breed) Lewis, born in Lynn, July 18, 1736. His home was at the corner of the present Essex and Alice Eliana Collins Angel Streets. His children were Lydia, Edmund, Eleazer, Elizabeth, Collins, Hepzibah, Anna, and John. Mr. In- galls was a ship carpenter, and worked at his trade both in Lynn and Salem. On the Lexington alarm he responded as a private, and did duty for two days. At this time he was a man of some property, and is reported to have been one of the eight ship-owners in the town. In
[ 313 ]
Lynn in the Revolution
1779 he fitted out the privateer "Flora," four guns and twelve men, but while in command of her was captured by the British and impris- oned in Dartmoor. He was the only Lynn man in command of a vessel during the war.
Mr. Ingalls took little part in the affairs of the town, serving only as surveyor of highways in 1770. He was a member of the First Church and acted as its collector in 1786. In his later years he is reported to have worked on the famous frigate, "Constitution." He died in Decem- ber, 1801, but many years of litigation ensued before his estate, amount- ing to $3,058, was settled in 1848. His wife died October 10, 1825, at the age of ninety. He is buried in the old Western Burial Ground, where a marble gravestone and bronze marker of the S. A. R. were erected to bis memory in 1904. His wife is buried in the Eastern Burial Ground, where a slate stone marks her grave.
INGALLS, JACOB,-son of Nathaniel and Anne Ingalls, was born about 1715. Ile was the great-grandson of Edmund Ingalls. His home was in that part of Lynn called Wood End, where from inheritance and purchase he became a land-bolder of considerable importance. He was married November 17, 1737, by Rev. Nathaniel Henchman, to Mary Tucker, Jacob Ingus perhaps daughter of John and Elizabeth Tucker, of Marblehead, born October 4. 1718. His children, all born before the Revolution, were Hannah, Elizabeth,
Ruth, Jacob, Mary, Deborah, and Rebecca. Deborah married Daniel Lindsey, and Rebecca married Joseph Johnson, both soldiers of the Revolution. Mr. Ingalls was a member of Captain Farrington's company of minute-men, and did duty on the first call to arms. At the time of the Lexington alarm he was over sixty years of age, but shouldered his musket and went with the boys to fight. Ile has not only the distinction of being the oldest, so far as is known, of all the two hundred and forty-seven men who are borne on the Lexing- ton alarm rolls from Lynn, but also of being the oldest man of all those who served from Lynn in the Revolutionary War. His son. Jacob, Jr., thirty-two years younger, was a sergeant in the same com- pany. Mr. Ingalls took little part in the affairs of the town, pursuing a quiet and uneventful life. Ilis only office appears to have been that of tithing-man in 1767. The date of his death is unknown. but ad-

ministration was granted upon his estate, July 13, 1791. He is buried in the old Western Burial Ground. His grave was marked in 1904 by a marble stone and bronze marker of the S. A. R.
INGALLS, JACOB, Jr.,-son of Jacob and Mary (Tucker) Ingalls, was born in Lynn, July 1, 1747. At the time of the Revolution Mr. Ingalls lived at the corner of Chestnut and Olive Streets, in an ancient house, torn down some forty years ago. The old mansion was large and roomy with an immense fireplace and chimneys. It is said that, in order to drag in the heavy sticks to fill the great fireplace, a horse was walked into the house. On June 4, 1772, Jacob Ingalls was married by Rev. John Treadwell to Martha Lewis, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Newhall) Lewis, born in Lynn, September 22, 1749. His business of shoemaking was carried on in a little shop near his house. At the outbreak of the Revolution he was a sergeant in Captain William Far- rington's company, and responded with his neighbors to the Lexington alarm, his father being a private in the same company. April 26, 1776, he was commissioned by the Council of Massachusetts Bay as second lieutenant in Captain Joseph Stocker's company, 1st Essex County regiment of militia, Lieutenant-Colonel John Flagg certifying that he had been chosen to that position. This company did guard duty in and about Boston after the evacuation, but saw no active service in the war. His commission is still held as a valuable heirloom by Mr. John HI. Parker, of Lynn, by whose courtesy it is reproduced in this volume.
Jacob Ingalls, Jr., had five children, Martha, Mary, Richard, Jacob, and John. His public life was not conspicuous, although he held the office of town treasurer in 1789, 1790, and 1791. He was a man justly respected for his integrity and many virtues. He died in Lynn, January 19, 1823, and is buried in the Eastern Ground, on the hill at the right of the entrance. A marble gravestone and bronze marker of the S. A. R. were placed at his grave in 1903.
INGALLS, JOSEPH,-may have been the son of William and Mary (Lane) Ingalls, baptized in Marblehead, June 1, 1727. No other record ap- pears. His only service was upon April 19, 1775, and nothing further is known of him.
INGALLS, NATHANIEL,-son of Nathaniel and Tabitha (Lewis) Ingalls, was born in Lynn, November 8, 1730, being a great-grandson of Edmund In- galls, the first settler of Lynn. He was married in Malden, December

Lynn in the Revolution
9, 1762, by Rev. E. Willis, to Mercy Pratt, daughter of David and Mercy (Upham) Pratt, born in Malden, July 18, 1739. His home was on the present Essex Street, near Chatham. His children were Na- thaniel, John, and Mercy.
Ilis only military service was on the 19th of April, 1775. Ile died in Lynn. August 11, 1806, and his wife died two days later, August 13. 1806. They were buried in the Eastern Ground, where a marble grave- stone and bronze marker of the S. A. R. were erected to his memory in 1904.
INGALLS. SAMUEL,-son of Samuel and Sarah (Ingalls) Ingalls, was born in Lynn, in 1720. He married October 14, 1748. Lydia Lewis, daughter of Edmund and Hepzibah (Breed) Lewis, born in Lynn, August 1, 1729. His children were James. David, Edmund. Hepzibah, Lydia, Ruth. Sarah, and Hannah. Hepzibah married Edward Ireson, who served with his father-in-law in Captain Far- Jamuel Ingues rington's company. Mr. Ingalls took no further part in the Revolution after the Lexington alarm. His home was in Wood End, where he carried on his farm. Ile died, according to a ledger kept by Dr. James Gardner, February 16, 1795. His will was probated April 16, 1795, and his estate was appraised at £395. He is buried in the old Western Ground.
IRESON, EDWARD,-son of John and Hepzibah (Ingalls) Ireson, was born in Lynn, February 29, 1756. He was a great-great-grandson of Edward Ireson, one of the earliest settlers of Lynn, who came over in the "Abi- gail" in 1635, at the age of thirty-two, together with his wife, Eliza- beth, aged twenty-seven. Ile was descended on his mother's side from Edmund Ingalls, the first settler of Lynn. Thus was Edward Ireson connected with two of the oldest families of Lynn, both of whose names remain prominent after the lapse of nearly three hundred years. His home was on Fayette Street, near the corner of Olive, in an ancient house demolished about 1873.
The story of the response of Edward Ireson to the early morning alarm of the British march to Concord is fully told elsewhere. It was his only service in the war. He was married March 30, 1779, by Rev. Mr. Treadwell, to Hepzibah Ingalls, daughter of Samuel and Lydia (Lewis) Ingalls, born in Lynn in 1756. Her father was a private in the
