  6. Two companies of minute men from what is now Sharon responded to the
    Lexington alarm on April 19, 1775. The first, numbering thirty-two men, was
    commanded by Capt. Samuel Payson, with Royall Kollock as lieutenant, and the
    second by Capt. Israel Smith, with Daniel Morse as lieutenant. This company
    numbered but twenty-two men.
    Besides these two companies, seven others from Stoughton answered the
    call. They were Capt. James Endicott's, eighty-three men ; Capt. William Briggs',
    forty-one men; Capt. Asahel Smith's, seventy-seven men; Capt. Peter Talbot's.
    eighty-five men; Capt. Josiah Pratt's, thirty-three men; Capt. Edward Savel's,
    sixty-four men ; and Capt. Ebenezer Tisdale's, thirty-one men, making a total
    of 469 men that went from Stoughton at the first clash of arms. Captain Savel's
    company afterward responded to the second call for troops and assisted in the
    fortification of Dorchester Heights on the night of March 9, 1776, the movement
    which forced the British to evacuate Boston.
