It wasn't when showing friends the historical shrine around Lexington and Concord; I read the inscription that I resolved to learn the story behind the marker.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>One Patriot's Activities</B></div> <bR> <div> The story of Paul Revere's Ride as related in Henry W. Longfellow's poem is familiar to most of us. But let us follow one patriot in particular on this beautiful morning of the 19<FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >th</FONT> of April.</div> <bR> <div> James Hayward was very tall, very blond and 26 years old. He was a schoolteacher in the neighboring town of Acton. However, because of the mild winter and early spring, as well as the unrest since the Boston Tea Party, school had not been well attended of late and young Hayward had been training with his company and attending the meetings of the Sons of Liberty. </div> <bR> <div> At the last meeting on April 16 it was felt that the time was near when defense would be necessary and as a results cannons were hastily concealed or removed to outlying towns, and ammunition was secreted in homes where it was hoped it would be protected from seizure by the British.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Dr. Prescott Escapes</B></div> <bR> <div> After the second light shone from the belfry of the Old North Church and Paul Revere left Charlestown left Roxbury to arouse every family on their way and to warn Rev. Dr. Clark and John Adams who were in Lexington that they must escape to safety.</div> <bR> <div> The riders left Lexington together and were soon joined by Dr. Samuel Prescott who had bee calling that evening on Miss Mulliken. They had proceeded only a few miles when they were intercepted by British messengers. Revere and Dawes were captures, but Dr. Prescott, familiar with the territory, escaped by jumping his horse over a stone wall and proceeded alone towards Concord with the alarming news that the British were coming.</div> <bR> <div> A little before 3 o'clock in the morning the bell in Concord was rung to alarm the town and messengers were sent to bordering towns to arouse all to action. Young Hayward had been prepared. A few days previously he was sharpening his bayonet and when asked what he was doing he said “ I expect before night we shall cone to a push with them and I want my bayonet sharp” He hadn't slept well during the night and when the alarm came it wasn't long before he was out of bed. He hurriedly dressed, grabbed his musket and with his powder- horn slung over his shoulder set out to join his company.</div> <bR> <div> At the battle of the Old North Bridge the first to be wounded was his friend, Luther Blanchard, fifer of the Acton Company. The wound was all right however, and he turned it into a joke.  One of his comrades said, "A little more and that bullet would have killed you," to which Blanchard replied with a shrug "A little more and it never would have hit me." The next volley killed both Capt. Davis and his friend, Abner Hosmer, At that Maj. Buttrick shouted the command, "Fire, fellow soldiers, for God's sake fire!” </div> <bR> <div> Three of the British were killed (and are buried near the bridge were markers are still to be seen).  At that the British started their re-treat toward Lexington, hotly pursued by the patriots, who hall broken ranks, each firing according to the theory of "every man to, for himself.”</div> <bR> <div> When Hayward saw they were heading toward Lexington he thought of the Fiske home where he had been a frequent visitor because of his acquaintances with Lieut. Benjamin Fiske, who had, been Selectman of the town Long legs and familiarity with short cuts, hastened him on his way to warn the family that the British would pass the farm. </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Finds House Empty</B></div> <bR> <div> Nearing the house, Hayward called out, but upon entering found the house empty,' the family apparently having removed to safety since morning.  The day was warm, he had covered many miles, and feeling in the need of a drink of water he went around the house to the well At the same time a British solider approached from the opposite direction the same purpose. </div> <div> <IMG SRC="2e4ab5d0.jpg" border=0 width="171" height="93" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> The British solider pointed his gun and said “Stop you are a dead man. “And so are you”, replied Hayward instantly, whereupon they both fired and both fell. The British solider died at once and Hayward, mortally wounded by a bullet through his skull, died eight hours later.</div> <bR> <div> Seventy-five years later, when a monument was erected to Capt. Davis and privates Abner Hosmer and James Hayward the three patriots from Acton to be killed on April 19, 1775, their bodies were exhumes, the bones places in a wooden box studded with silver nails and preserved within the Acton Revolutionary Monument.</div> <bR> <div> Upon examination the bullet hole was plainly visible in the cheekbone and it is presumed that after piercing Hayward skull the bullet passed through the powder horn, which he carried. At any rate the powder horn showing a bullet hole now hangs in the Acton Library together with a lock of young Hayward's hair - By Grace Blanchard Mitchell</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>  <A NAME="ancestors_of_james_hayward"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000099" FACE="Arial" >Ancestors of James Hayward</FONT></div> <bR> <div> Generation No. 1</div> <bR> <div>      1.  James Hayward, born April 04, 1750 in Acton, Middlesex, MA.; died April 19, 1775 in Lexington, Middlesex, MA.  He was the son of 2.
