REPORT JOINT SPECIAL COMMITTEE BUNKER HILL TABLETS, City of Boston, In Common Council, January 24, 1889. Ordered, That a special committee of five members of the Common Council, with such as the Board of Aldermen may join, be appointed to arrange and prepare four bronze tablets to bear the names of the American patriots killed or fatally injured at Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775 ; said tablets to em- brace the requisite list of names now in the hands of the Record Commissioners, with such other names as belong in the list ; said tablets to be completed in season for erection on the occasion of the coming celebration of the anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill,' June 17, 1889 ; said tablets to be placed in such position as the committee may determine in connection with the site of the battle ; and the expense of the tablets to be charged to the appropriation for incidentals for the fiscal year of 1889 and 1890. Passed, and Messrs. Keenan, Oakes, Baglejs I. F. Pierce, and W. J. Doherty, were appointed on said committee. Sent up for concurrence. In Board of Aldermen, February 4, concurred, and Aldermen Stacey, Folsom,and Rogers were appointed on said committee. Approved by the Mayor, February 6, 1889. ii City Document No. 73. The Joint Special Committee appointed under the fore- goinir order be<>: leave to submit the followinff KEPORT : The ])roject of erecting such tal)lets at Bunker Hill origi- nated in an order passed by the Common Council, March 29, 188i<, and by the Aldermen on April 2, 1888. A report was made by the committee of last year, Jan. 3, 1889 (sec proceedings of 1888, p. 1067). The list of names col- lected from the Massachusetts Archives was printed in the "Boston Globe" for June 15, 1888. The present committee was appointed and confirmed Feb. 8, 1889. It met and organized February 27, and at once proceeded to work. March 8, Mr. AVhitmore, Record Com- missioner, was directed to prepare a list and submit it in print, and April 24 he reported. The committee deemed it un- wise to take any decided action involving expense until the annual appro[)riations were passed. At this last date it was voted to have the City Architect (Mr. Bateman) prepare a design for the tablets; April 27, his design was received and approved ; May 8, the bids for furnishing the bronze tablets and the iron frame were opened and contracts awarded. Your committee first proposed to place the tablets, re- serving, of course, the propert}^ of the city therein, at the entrance to Monument square, opposite to Monument avenue. This idea was made known, informally, to members of the management of the Bunker Hill Monument Association, and at a meeting of your committee, on April 24, its chairman was directed to make a formal a|)plication. A letter was sent by Alderman Stacey to Hon. F. W. Lincoln, April 2(), and a conference was held on Tuesday, May 14. The delays were in no way attributable to your committee. The correspondence which followed will be found in Ap- pendix E. The unexpected objections made to the site first selected, led your committee to decide upon the well-known locality of Winthrop square, that being, in fact, a portion of Bunker Hill, and already adorned with the monument erected to the memoi-y of the soldiers from Charlestown in the late war. In making this choice your committee followed the old rule of placing a city memorial upon land owned by the city, and the wisdom of this rule has been abundantly shown l)y the experience already related. Your committee, having been duly empowered, accord- ingly arranged to place these tablets at a new entrance made into Winthrop square, at its north-west corner. A smaller Eeport of Committee on Buijker Hill Tablets, iii entrance has also been made at the south-east corner, and the paths have been re-located, so as to aiford the most direct line of travel from City square to Hammond square. In presenting the lists of the soldiers killed or mortally wounded at the Battle of Bunker Hill, your committee wishes to disclaim most distinctly any idea that this record is complete. No perfect list was made at the time and none can now be constructed ; but it is certain that one hundred and thirty-seven names of the rank and file have been recovered, and it is doubtful if more than a dozen names additional will ever be secured. It is to be hoped that the City Council will authorize some continnation of the investigation of this subject. The names now inscribed on the tablets are derived from the archives of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Connecticut ; but now that public attention has been called to the suliject, and the extent of our present knowledge is made apparent, it is to be hoi)ed that family evidences and town records may supply us with more and authentic data. Your committee, in providing for suital)le ceremonies on the public dedication of this monument, on the 17th of June, had the pleasure of securing Hon. John R. Murphy as orator, and Thomas W. Parsons as poet. The ceremonies duly took place to the pul)lic satisfaction, and the tablets are now in proper care. Your committee desires especially to praise the mechanical execution of the bronze work furnished by C. T. Robinson & Co., of this city. Believing that some more notice should be taken of this event than this report aftbrds, your committee respectfully recommend the passage of the order annexed. BENJAMIN F. STACEY, ALBERT A. FOLSOM, HOMER ROGERS, THOMAS F. KEENAN, WILLIAM H. OAKES, FRANK E. BAGLEY, ISRAEL F. PIERCE, WILLIAM J. DOHERTY, City Hall, Boston, June 20, 1889. Committee. Ordered, That the Joint Special Committee on the Bunker Hill Tablets be authorized and directed to have prepared and distributed a Memorial volume, to contain the proceedings at the dedication, together with such accompanying docu- ments as they deem appropriate ; the edition to consist of twenty-five hundred copies, and the expense to be charged to the appropriation for Printing. APPENDIX A. Alderman Stacey, Chairman : — Dear Sir, — In accordance with the instructions of your com- mittee, I beg leave to submit such facts as I have collected in regard to the American loss in killed and wounded at the battle of Bunker Hill. The history of the battle was carefully prepared by Hon. Rich- ard Frothingham, jr., and printed in 1849 and 1851. My quotations are from the latter edition. The City of Boston has also published the proceedings at the Centennial Anniversary in 1875, containing the admirable address by Gen. Charles Devens, jr., and a careful bibliography of the previous writings on the subject prepared by Justin Winsor, Esq. These authorities are the main ones cited in this report. It should be said, however, that while Frothingham has given a most thorough and intelligent account of the buttle and of the forces engaged in it, he was unable to supply the very details which your committee especially desires. Owing to an entire lack of official data as to the individuals killed or wounded, he could only give the aggregate results. Most fortunately, within a few years, the information so ear- nestly desired has been obtained. Some years ago, the State acquired a number of pay-rolls which had been preserved at Watertown by the descendants of John Brown, who was President of the Board of War in 1775. These lists, made in August and October of that year, contained data of claims of the soldiers for clothing. In many instances the widows or heirs of soldiers applied. At the time, an entry was made of soldiers killed, and these facts are the ones used in this report. The entire rolls have been carefully examined, and it is thought all the entries relating to " Bunker Hill Fight " have been copied. The following facts, recorded by Frothingham, will be found interesting. Of the American troops, the number engaged at any one time was 1,500, though, perhaps, 1,000 more were in the fight at intervals. The best estimate of the American loss was : killed, 140 ; wounded, 271 ; captured, 30. These figures and authorities will be examined later. The British force was stated by General Gage at something over 2,000; 35 officers and 191 rank and file killed; 122 officers and 706 rank and file wounded. But it is probable that the British troops were at least 4,000, and possibly their loss exceeded the 1,054 above stated. 2 City Document No. 73. The battle began about three o'clock and lasted an honr and a half. The American fortifications are thus described by General Devens : — " The redoubt, which would enclose the spot where the Monu- ment now stands, was upon the crest of Breed's Hill, an eminence about seventy feet in height. It was about eight rods square, with its front towards the south, overlooking the town and Charles river. Its south-eastern angle directly faced Copp's Hill, while its easterly side fronted extensive fields, which lay between it and Moultou's Point. INIoultou's Hill, then about thirty feet in height, but now levelled wnth the surface of the ground, was situated between it and Moultou's Point. The eastern side of the redoubt was i)roloiiged by a breastwork detached by a sally-port, wliich extended for about one hundred yards towards a marsh ; while tlie northern side overlooked the Mystic river, from which it was dis- tant about five hundred yards." " Knowlton . . . moved about six hundred feet to the rear of the redoubt upon the side towards the Mystic, and took a posi- tion there near the base of Bunker Hill, properly so called, finding a fence which extended towards the JNIystic, the foundation of wdiich was of stone and upon it two rails. Rapidly making, with the materia's he found, another fence a few feet clistant, he filled the interval with grass." " Stark extended the line of Knowlton, by rails and stones taken from adjoining fences, until it reached the river, making on the extreme left on the beach a strong stone wall. As the rail-fence was so far to the rear of the redoubt, there was, of course, an interval which some slight attempt had been made to close, and where also was posted the artillery of the Americans . which was of little importance during the action." '' Upon the extreme right were posted a few troops extending towards the base of the hill, while two flanking parties were thrown out by Prescott to harass the enemy." Charlestown, as is well known, is a peninsula about a mile in length from norih to south, connected with the main land by a narrow neck. The Mystic river is on the east side, and the Charles river, on the west, separates the town from Boston. "Bun- ker Hill begins at the isthmus and rises gradually for about three hundred yards, forming a round, smooth hill slo|)ing on two sides towards the water, and connected by a ridge of ground on the south with the heights now known as Breed's Hill." Bunker Hill was 110 feet high. Breed's 7.5 feet, and Morton's Hill 35 feet. The redoubt was on Breed's Hill; but the larger elevation, Bunker's Hill, by some popular erior, at an early date received the honor of designating the battle. Two roads from the Neck ran into the town. The westerly one, nearest the Charles river, was swept by the guns of the British vessels. The other one passed at the side of Bunker Hill, behind the redoubt, and crossed the rail-fence. This, might have been Appendix. 3 commanded by Bi'itisli vessels in the Mystic, but fortunately none were placed there. The battle was fought, therefore, on the east- erly side of the town. The first attack of the British troops was in two divisions : General Howe, with the right wing, moving along the Mystic side, against the rail-fence, and General Pigot, with the left wing, against the redoubt. The second attack was similar; but the third and successful assault was by the combined forces directly upon the redoubt. After the British took it, the Americans retreated in good order, maintaining the contest over the slopes of Bunker Hill. Frothingham states that it is impossible to decide about the exact troops engaged on the American side. Men were coming and going all day, and the contemporaneous reports are very meagre and contradictory. The estimate (Hist., p. 198) of the losses is as follows : — Regiment. Killed. Wounded. Regiment. Killed. Wounded I. Prescott . 42 28 X. Gridley . 4 II. Bridge 1.5 29 XI. Ward . . 1 6 in. Frye . . . 15 31 XII. Scamman. 2 VI. Brewer . 7 11 XIII. Gerrish . 3 2 V. Little . . . 7 23 XIV. Whitcomb 5 8 VI. Gardner . 6 7 XV. Stark . . 15 45 vn. Nixon 3 10 XVI. Reed . . 5 21 VIII . Woodbridge. 1 5 Putnam & Coit's Co. 11 26 IX. Dooliitle . . 9 Chester's Co. 4 4 Total: killed, 140; wounded, 271; captured, 30. Colonel Swett, in his account of the battle, agrees with these figures, except that lie makes Bridge's loss in killed 1(3, and omits Reed's, 5. His total is 136. I am inclined to think that the esti- mate of 140 killed, is rather high, and that the lists subjoined, in- cluding the mortally wounded, will cover nearly all of those who fell. ^ The following results bj' regiments show what is certainly known : — I. Prescott's Regiment. Prescott's regiment, commanded by Col. William Prescott, claims precedence, both for its losses and the prominence of its chief. It was raised in Middlesex, but it is uncertain how many of its companies were in the fight. The adjutant, William Green, Captains Maxwell and Farwell, and Lieutenant Brown, were wounded. Frothingham says that Lieutenant Prescott, a nephew of the colonel, and probably serving in this regiment, was killed. It is certain, however, that he means m}' number, 78, Benjamin Prescott, who was sergeant in Dows' company in this regiment. 4 City Document No. 73. Lieut. Amaziah Fassett, of Groton, was mortally wounded, cap- tured, and died in Boston. The evidence is very strong that Lieutenant Joseph Spaulding, of Groton, was also killed. Vol. 5G, p. Gl, of Holls, has his name, with five others, as killed or taken. Vol. 15, p. 55, has a full list of Lawrence's company. 1st Lieut. Joseph Spaulding, of Pep- perell, is entered as enlisted April 30th, 1775, and credited with fort}' nine days' pay, while most of the others have ninety-eight day's pay. This would take him just to June 17th, and confirm the other entry. The evidence here given recovers for us the names of thii-ty- six of the rank and file of this regiment killed, -or mortalU' wounded. To Aaron Burr, of Meryfield (? now Rowe), of Capt. Hugh Maxwell's company in this regiment, these rolls give the honor of being " the fiist man killed June 17."* Captain Dow's and Captain INIoor's companies include some New Hampshire men who served in this regiment.

Dodge and Foster died in captivity in Boston, and the evidence is reasonably strong that the other four died. As to Robert Parker, he is entered at the corner of Lawrence's Coat Roll; but Vol. 56, p. 64, gives Robert Parker, and Robert Parker, jr., in Capt. Ephraim Cory's company, and adds that Robert Parker died Sept 30th, at Cambridge. I presume that these two entries on the two rolls mean the same man, and that it is a fair inference that the Groton man died of wounds received at Bunker Hill. Died from TFownds. 35. John Gordon, Stow, Capt. Asa Lawrence. 36. David Kemp (died Sept. 10), Groton, do II. Bridge's Regiment. Commanded by Col. P^benezer Bridge ; was represented, prob- ably, by only a part of its companies. Lieut. -Col. Moses Parker, of Chelmsford, was mortally wounded, captured, and died in Bos- ton as did also Capt. Benjamin Walker, of Chelmsford. Frothinghain (p. 126) says that early on June 17 a private was killed by a cannon-ball, and that it was (29) Asa Pollard, of Bil- let ica, of Captain Stickney's company in this regiment. Swett's history seems to be the authority for this anecdote. See, however, ante, Aaron Barr, of Prescott's regiment, No. 19. Our rolls give — 37. Benjamin Eastey, 38. Asa Pollard,* Killer! . Billerica, Billerica, Capt. Jona. Stickney. do * Not on the roll, but in the orders. Note. — Seven men killed in Dow's company, three killed and two mortally wounded in Moors's company, all serving under Prescott, and recorded in the New Hampshire list in Ap- pendix C. This makes a total of forty-eight killed under Prescott, besides the three officers. 6 City Document No. 73. 39. John Thessill, Dracut, Capt. Peter Coburn. 40. Joseph Kemp, Dunstable, Capt. Eben.

Jesse Holt, Andover, do IV. Brewer's Regiment. Col. Jonatlian Brewer's regiment, from Worcester and Middle- sex, consisted, June 15, of 397 men. It seems that only about one-half of the regiment was in the fight, and they were stationed mostly on the diagonal line between the breastwork and rail-fence. The colonel and the lieutenant-colonel (William Buckminster) were both wounded, and tiie regiment evidently made a brilliant record. * Biil)son'8 " History of Gloucester " states that Pool and Brooks were killed at the rail fence, and Parsons at the redoubt. They are recorded as killed in Rolls vol. 16, p. 11. Appendix. Killed. GO. Josiah Bacon, Hutchinson (Barre), Capt. John Black. 61. John Barrett, Hutchinson (Barre), do 62.

He was mortally wounded, and died July 3, 1775. Our rolls contain no names from this regiment, though Swett makes their loss six killed and seven wounded. The Charlestowa company especially distinguished itself. VIL Nixon's Regiment. "Col. John Nixon's regiment, from Middlesex and Worcester, was neither full nor commissioned, and both the returns and the details of it are very meagre." (Frothingham.) Col. Nixon was badly wounded, and Swett credits the regiment with 3 killed and 10 w^ounded. Our lists have no names for this regiment. VII r. Woodbridge's Regiment. " Col. Benjamin R. Woodbridge's regiment, of Hampshire, also was not commissioned, and there are few details of it, or of its officers, in the accounts of the battle." (Frotliingham.) Swett estimates one killed and five wounded, but none are on our rolls. City Docibient No. 73. IX. Doolittle's Regiment. " Col. Ephraim Doolittle's regiment was comraissioned June 12th, when a return names onl}' seven companies. Tlie colonel and lieutenant-colonel were absent on the day of battle, and Major Willard Moore led on, it is stated, three hundred of its men." (Frothingham.) Major Moore was mortally wounded and died on the field. Our rolls give three soldiers also as Killed. 75. Joshua Whitcomb, Templeton, Capt. Joel Fletcher. 7G. Jeduthan Alexander, Marlboro', Capt. Jona. Holman. 77. Benjamin Reed, Rutland, Capt. Adam Wheeler. X. Gridley's Regiment. Col. Richard Gridley commanded the artillery, of which three companies were in the fight, though of little service. He was a veteran of the French wars, planned the works at Breed's Hill, and was wounded in the battle. XI. Ward's Regiment. Gen. Arteraas Ward's regiment, from Worcester, was commis- sioned May 23, 1775. It was not ordered to Charlestown till late in the day, and only a few companies were engaged. * Our lists give as Killed. 78. Samuel Heards, Grafton, Capt. Luke Drury. XII. Scamman's Regiment. "James Scamman's regiment, from Maine, did not advance nearer the battle than Bunker Hill ; and its colonel was tried for disobedience of orders, but acquitted." (Frothingham.) Swett notes two soldiers as wounded, but none as killed. XIII. Gerrish's Regiment. Samuel Gerrish commanded this regiment, but only a part went into battle, under command of the adjutant. Christian Febiger. Swett credits it with three killed. Our Rolls give as Killed. 79. Thomas Doyl, a deserter from the King's troops. Capt. Wm Rogers. * Sergt. John Brown of Leicester, and Corp. Kerley Ward of Oakham, in Capt Wash- burn's company are returned as wounded, but they evidently lived till August. Appendix. XIV. Whitcomb's Regiment. Col. Asa Whitcomb's regiment, of Worcester, had probably two companies in the battle, and Swett records that five men were killed and eight wounded. Our Rolls give as Killed. 80. David Robbins, Lancaster, Capt. Andrew Haskell. 81. Sergt. Robert Phelps, Lancaster, do. (died a prisoner) . Glover's Regiment. Under Col. John Glover, our rolls give one man. Killed. 82.
