Note 539 — Chapter II · (continued 2)

There is also a table of casualties at Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill, in the Hist. of the War in America (Dublin, 1779-1785). On the provincial side there is a list of casualties (forty-nine killed, thirty-nine wounded, and five missing,—ninety-three in all) of the 19th April given in Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll., xviii.; Frothingham's Siege of Boston, 80; Dawson's Battles, etc.; Hudson's Lexington, p. 211; Everett's Orations, i. 562; Wm. Lincoln's ed. of the Journals of the Provincial Congresses (Boston, 1838). The names of the men who were on duty on that day are in what are called the Lexington alarm rolls in the State Archives (Revolutionary Rolls, vols. xi., xii., and xiii.). The histories of towns which sent companies usually print such lists, as the Hist. of Sutton, p. 783, etc. The losses of property sustained by Lexington during the day, as figured in 1780, is given in the Mass. Archives, cxxxviii. p. 410; and the Report of the Committee of the Provincial Congress on the losses along the line of march is given in Wm. Lincoln's ed. of the Journals of the Prov. Congresses (Boston, 1838). This report makes the damage done by the king's troops in Concord, £274 16s. 7d.; in Lexington, £1,716 1s.5d., and in Cambridge, £1,2O2 8s. 7d.; total, £3,193 6s. 7d. In Oct., 1775, a committee of Congress—Silas Deane, John Adams, and George Wyeth—were addressing letters to get information respecting extent of losses inflicted by the ministerial troops. One of these, addressed to Ezra Stiles, is in Letters and Papers, 1761-1776 (MSS. in Mass. Hist. Soc.).
