"These two Revolutionary soldiers were settlers near
here in the Town of Monson (afterward Amherst, now Milford). Captain Crosby served with distinction
at Bunker Hill and marched in defense of Ticonderoga in 1777 and of Rhode Island in 1778. He also
served in Amherst as moderator, selectman, and representative to the General Court. Lieutenant
Maxwell had the unusual record for a New Hampshire resident of participating in the Boston Tea
Party, Battle of Lexington Concord, and Battle of Bunker Hill. He returned to Massachusetts and
later migrated west and served in the War of 1812." erected 1979 |
