This is a quit claim from 1813 that was signed by Samuel Parker who was born in Groton (next town over from Pepperell) MA and served his country as a Captain in the Rhode Island Militia. He was also one of the first to respond to the call on April 19, 1775 and as such is in the roles as a Minuteman for the state of Massachusetts. CLICK ON  'SEE MORE' TO SEE THE REST OF THE STORY!
One of the witnesses to the deed was John Walton (1710-1785) who marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775 (so he was a Minuteman) and served until 1778. His military history is below.
Captain Parker is selling land to a Rebecca Lawrence and her two sons William T. Lawrence and Walter Lawrence. Rebecca was the widow of Benjamin Lawrence of Pepperell, MA who was also a Revolutionary War soldier.
John Walton is the JOP on this deed and was also a Minuteman and a Revolutionary War hero.
Samuel Parker:
April 13, 1755 – January 25, 1834. He served in the American Revolution, obtained a pension during his last years, and lived to be 85 years of age. His record of service in the Revolution entitles all his descendents to membership in the Sons of the American Revolution, or the Daughters of the American Revolution. Samuel Parker enlisted in April, 1775 right at the beginning of the war, as the battle of Lexington was fought April 19, 1775, at which a Parker commanded the "Minute Men", and whose cousin, Jones Parker, was mortally wounded when the British soldiers under Major Pitcairn had fired the second volley. The first volley was fired over the heads of the Minute Men. Jonas Parker, though mortally wounded, fired back. He had just uttered his determination not to run, and had placed his hat on the ground at his feet, and in it put his extra bullets and flints. The British bullet in his body caused him to sink to his knees, but he heroically attempted to reload.
