Stories from Acton

Learning which Acton residents were at Concord's North Bridge on April 19, 1775 is helped by a list written by a militia captain of Acton's East company.

Two soldiers with the same name serving in the same Acton War of 1812 company caused ongoing confusion.

See a sign-up sheet of Acton's East militia company as of Sept. 29, 1774 under Capt. Robbins.

James Emery, a 21-year-old Acton native was killed at Saratoga.
