    "Opposite the door [of a house on the road to Boston] there stood, in 1776, a large pear-tree. A shot from the South Battery in Boston took off a limb of the tree, and, glancing killed, Lieut. John Mayo, who was getting his men in readiness to march to Dorchester Heights, on the round where the church stands, then occupied by the Americans, and covered with breastworks. This was the only casualty attending that important movement."
