In November of the year 1774 a company of Minute-men was raised by voluntary enlistment, and elected Isaac Davis for their commander. This company, by agreement, met for discipline, each week, through the winter and spring, tin the fight at Concord. In January the town voted to pay them each eight pence for every meeting till the first of May, provided they should be on duty as much as three hours, and should attend within half an hour after the time appointed for the meeting.
There were two other companies of infantry, or of militia, as they were called; the one in the east and the other in the west part of the town. The officers of the first were Joseph Robbins, Israel Heald and Robert Chaffin. The other was commanded by Lieut. Simon Hunt. James Hayward, who was killed in the afternoon of Apri119, 1775, was a member of Lieutenant Hunt's company.
The two companies also met frequently for exercise, though not as often as the Minute-men.
