| In the words of Rev. Henry
Hazen, "When we remember that the census of 1776 gave the town a population of 1500, we can see in
part to what extent these patriotic fathers gave service and life, to found the nation.
Their children should never forget at what a price they gained freedom for
themselves and coming generations."
