D.,) and soon became a prominent man in military and in religious matters. His name is borne upon the Concord roll as that of a sergeant, he was first lieutenant in Capt. Towne's company at Bunker Hill, and claimed to have fired the last gun before the retreat; and he afterward was captain in command of a company largely composed of his fellow townsmen which responded with great prompt- ness to the calls for immediate aid as related in the earlier part of this volume. He was one of the foremost in the organization of the Baptist church, in which he was made the first deacon. Like many men of intense vision and prompt action, he may have lacked something in breadth of view, but conscientious and faithful, he was one of those men whose work in the evolution of a new society can hardly be over- valued.
