DOVER, MASS. THE SPRINGFIELD OR FOURTH PARISH OF DEDHAM IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. BY FRANK SMITH. IN the year 1750 there were some fifty families in the Fourth Parish of Dedham, all of whom were probably of English descent. Of these old families, at the centre of the Parish we find the families of Chickering, Whiting, Draper, Haven, Allen, Mann and Fisher; in the westerly part, Battle, Mason, Smith and Guy; in the easterly part, Richard, Wilson, Wight and Baker; and in the southerly part, near Medfield, Tisdale, Cheney and Newell. Among the soldiers who served in the French and Indian War at Ticonderoga, Fort Edward, Fort William Henry, Lake George and elsewhere, at the Bay of Fundy, Louisburg and Cape Breton, there were Timothy Ellis, Daniel Whiting, Lemuel Richards, David Cleveland, Hezekiah Gay and Ephraim Richards of Dover. The Pillar of Liberty at Dedham bears the name of one of Dover's most prominent citizens in the Revolutionary period, Col. Ebenezer Battle, who was associated with Dr. Ames and Rev. Jason Haven in procuring the wooden bust of William Pitt which surmounted the wooden pillar. All the people of this parish were not loyal; there were outspoken Tories and others who secretly aided the British. A Mr. Loring was a prominent Tory; and when the British were quartered in Boston, he was known to have carried them provisions by night. A committee of citizens was appointed to wait on him; and, in the words of the chairman, they asked, "Zounds, have you been feeding the British in Boston? If we have any more of this we will pull the house down over your head." It is said that on the morning of June 17, 1775, as Capt. Richards hastened to Boston, upon hearing the news of the battle of Bunker Hill, he met a Tory who declared that there was no engagement. Capt. Richards ordered him held until the truth was known. When it was learned that the battle was fought, some wished to deal severely with him on the spot, but Capt. Richards let a good whipping suffice. Capt. John Jones who lived on the estate now owned by B. P. Cheney was a noted Tory. He held a commission as magistrate, until 1774, when upon the request of a large number of citizens and "Sons of Liberty" he vacated the office. On the morning of April 19, 1775, at about eight o'clock, a company of sixty-five minute men under Capt. Ebenezer Battle was hastily summoned. Aaron Whiting left his plow in the field, and |
