Individual Details

John BUCKMAN

(2 Apr 1745 - 23 Dec 1792)

He was an innkeeper and it was at his house that Capt. Parker and his patriotic men assembled on the evening of Apr. 18, 1775, and from this house they issued on the approach of the British the next morning. Shots were fired from this house upon the red coats after they had attacked the Americans upon the common, and some of the clapboards to this day give evidence that the fire was returned. Hist. Lex. 426.[1]
