by method, clearness, closeness, and strength. In doctrine Scriptural
and sound, in order and discipline careful and unyielding, his constant reference

Parker, of Groton. He d. Nov. 8, 1827, aged 73, and his wid. d. May 2,
1845, aged 89. "He was one of those who rallied at Concord to oppose the progress
of the British troops. When the news of their approach reached Groton, he
was in the field, when, mounting his horse, he rode through the adjoining towns,
giving the alarm, and returned in season to join his company at the meeting-house.
In the battle of Bunker Hill, he received a slight wound, and his hat and
coat, pierced with the balls of the enemy, were preserved many years. At the
time of his marriage, while the ceremony was in progress, the tolling of the
meeting-house bell called out the minute men, whereupon he parted from his
bride as soon as the rite was finished, and marched to Rhode Island. He soon
returned on a furlough of a few days, after which she did not see him again until
after the birth of their first-born. He continued in the service until the close of
the war; was promoted to the rank of Major, and was in many of the hardest
fought battles of the Revolution.
"Respected and beloved by his townsmen, they willingly elected him to those
Page 838
offices in which he would serve. Hospitable and kind in his manners, a pleasant
remembrance is still cherished of the cordial welcome and comforts his house
afforded. He was an exemplary Christian, and a deacon of the church. He was
one of the originators of Groton Academy, now most appropriately entitled 'The
Lawrence Academy.' In this school his children received their early education, and
well have they remembered its origin, and the advantages they there enjoyed." Chil.,
