Letter from Rev. Andrew Eliot, Pastor of the New
North Church in Boston to Rev. Isaac Smith of
Boston (then in
London)
"Boston, June 19, 1775
"My dear
Sir:
According to your desire, I write without ceremony, to
acquaint you with the state of
things in Boston. You left us shut
up, and the people removing from the place fast as they were
per-
mitted. I am told that more than nine thousand are removed;
many more were preparing to follow, but
passes have been stopped
for some time.
So that thousands are detained who desire to
go, among whom I am one. I tarried purely out of regard
to the
inhabitants who were left, that they might not be without ordinances
and worship in the way which
they choose. It is now, perhaps, too
late to think of removing, as all communication is at
present,
stopped.
"The last Saturday gave us a dreadful
specimen of the horrors of civil war. Early on Saturday
morning
we were alarmed by the firing of cannon from the fort
which is erected on Copp's Hill, and from the
ships which lie in
Charles River. Upon inquiry it was found that the provincials had
been forming lines
on a hill below the hill in Charlestown,
commonly called Bunker's Hill. This intrenchment was
calculated
extremely well to annoy Boston, and the ships in the
harbor. About one o'clock, a large body of British
troops set out
from Boston to attack these lines.
About three o'clock the
engagement began, and lasted perhaps an hour. Great part of the time
the firing
seemed incessant. It seems the troops stormed the
lines, and after a warm opposition, carried them.
Perhaps there
has seldom been a more desperate action. As the provincials were up
to the chin intrenched,
they made a great slaughter to the King's
troops before they (the provincials) retreated. How many
were
killed on each side, it is impossible for me to say. It is
generally agreed that 80 or 90 officers were
killed or wounded on
the side of the regulars. It was a new and awful spectacle to us to
have men
carried through the streets groaning, bleeding, and
dying.
Some of the best officers are taken off, and some
hundreds of the privates. The attack was commenced
by
General Howe. How the provincials haved suffered, is not yet known;
nor indeed, shall I pretend
to give a particular account of this
terrible scene. You must take this from the prints. Dr.
Warren
is among the slain. It is said he had the chief
direction of the defence; if this is true, it seems
to me he was
out of his line.
"Since this action the King's troops have
taken possession of Bunker's Hill and fortified it strongly.
On
the other side, the provincials are intrenching themselves on the
hill back of the road in Charlestown,
just beyond the two mile
stone.
"Amidst the carnage of Saturday, the town of
Charlestown was set on fire and I suppose every dwelling-
house
and every public building is consumed, till you have passed the
passage to the mills, and are
come to the house where Woods the
baker dwelt. You may easily judge what distress we were in to
see
and hear Englishmen destroying one another, and a town with
which we have been so intimately connected
all in flames.
We are left in anxious expectation of the event. God grant the blood
already spilt may
suffice - but this we cannot reasonably expect.
May we be prepared for every event.
"It is talked that a
further attack will be made on the provincials, but I cannot pretend
to guess what
will be the motion on either side, though everyone
I meet seems to be as able to tell as if they were
admitted into
the Council of War.
"I forgot to mention that a few days
before the action, the Governor issued a proclamation,
offering
pardon to all that would lay down their arms except
Samuel Adams and John Hancock, and at the same time
putting us
under martial law. It would be a great comfort to me if I
could leave the town, but I
submit to what God is pleased to
order.
"I write this in great haste and perturbation of mind.
You will, therefor, excuse every impropriety,
and will not wonder
I do not write more in this very critical day. But however
Providence may dispose
of me, that you may enjoy every blessing
you can yourself desire, is the earnest prayer of your
sincere
friend and humble servant - Andrew
Eliot.
P.S. June 22. Things have been pretty quiet
since the above. We have no communication with those
on the other
side of the water, but can perceive they are fortifying at Chelsea,
Malden, Winter Hill,
the hills in Roxbury, Dorchester and where
not? Every inch of ground will be disputed. Can no way
be
found to accomodate these unhappy differences? The God of
Heaven preserve us! It is an inexhaustable
source of
comfort that the government of the world is just where it is.

Habakkuk Gardner
Source:
The Essex Institute Historical Collections 1902 - Vol.
XXXVIII.
Habakkuk Gardner was a master mariner. He inherited
from his father, Capt. Capt. Habakkuk Gardner,
two thirds of his
house on the western side of "Prison Lane" (now St. Peter Street)
and purchased
the remaining third of his sister, Ruth Nutting,
and John Nutting, her husband, Jan 28, 1735.
August 11, 1738
Habakkuk Gardner, mariner, and Mary his wife, at that time residents
of Boston, sold
this homestead property to Benjamin Browne for
?200. His father also bequeathed to him two-thirds of
two common
rights, one in the Great Pastures and the other in Stone's Plain. He
purchased his sister's
share in these rights Jan 28, 1735, and
sold the shares to William Browne, June 22, 1737 for ?40.
He
likewise inherited from his father, one share in "Sowhegin
West," which had originally been granted
to
the heirs of Capt. Joseph Gardner (2nd gen.) who was killed in
the Narragansett Fight in 1675. This had
evidently come down in
this line, by reason of the fact that they were descendants of
Joseph's oldest
brother, Thomas. Habakkuk sold this share to
Joshua Hicks, Aug. 18, 1737. He sold to his
brother-in-
law, John Nutting, two thirds of a "Pew in ye First
Parish Meeting House," originally granted to "my
Honored father
Habakkuk Gardner, deceased.
Habakkuk Gardner married *Mary
Richards of Boston. She is buried in Copp's Hill Cemetery in that
city.
The headstone is still standing and from the inscription we
know that he died sometime previous to his
wife's death in 1762,
but the exact date of his death is not known. No known
children.

married Sarah Collins, descended from "Henry Collins, of Lynn" of
whom Lewis, in his History of Lynn, says: He "embarked in the
Abigail, of London, June 30, 1635; lands were granted to him in
1638; in 1639 he was a member of the Salem court; and in 1645 on of
the selectmen of the town. He was born in 1606, and buried, February
20, 1687, at the age of eighty-one years. His wife, Ann, was born in
1605. His children were, Henry, born 1630; John born 1632; Margery,
born 1633; and Jospeh, born 1635. He was associated with John
Hathorne in 1662, in defending the town against a prosecution by
William Longley. The first monthly meeting of Friends in Lynn was

In Memory of
CAPT ROBERT NEWMAN

AEt 51.
|
The Old North Church, or Christ Church in Boston, was built in
1723. On the evening of April 18, 1775,
from the northwest window
of Christ Church steeple, sexton Robert Newman held two lanterns
aloft to
warn the patriots in Charlestown of the British troops'
march to Lexington and Concord. This signal,
the brainchild of
Paul Revere, occurred as he was being rowed across the Charles River
to begin his
Midnight Ride. Visitors to Old North today can view
the window near the altar that Robert Newman
climbed out after he
displayed the lanterns. The inside of the church has changed very
little over
the past 250 years. The high box pews have plaques
bearing the names of their original occupants.

HERE LIES BURIED THE BODY OF
MAJOR JOHN RUDDOCK, ESQ.
Deceased
September 2d, 1772, aged 59 years and 2 months |
He was in Commission of the
Peace
and Justice of the Court and County of
Suffolk 13 Years.
And was Selectman for the same town 9
years.
"Could a heart that felt, and a hand that relieved
the
miseries attendant upon humanity - Could the truest
patriotism
equal superior to frowns of power and the rage of
part, which with invincible
constancy asserted and defended
universally (for he was a citizen
of the world) the rights of
mankind - Could undeviating integrity
in every office which he
dignified by holding, joined to the most
impartial dispensation
of justice - In fine, could extensive virtue
or distinguished
worth rescue from the tomb, Reader, thou hadst not
been
told
Here lies Ruddock.
Depart!
Imitate his virtues,
and with
him
merit the eulogium of thy
country.
"Time may efface this
monumental stone,
But time nor malice
can his worth dethrone
For villains living
oft may buy a name,
But virtue only
swells poshumous fame.

RUDDOCKS of BOSTON before 1700.
The earliest
Ruddock in New England seems to have been John Ruddock
of
Sudbury, who became Freeman in 1640. Savage seems to think that
he
came from Co. Wilts in England, the section whence the three
Goodenow
brothers came in 1638. In his Will one of these mentions
"my two brothers
John Ruddock and John Goodenow?. Will was dated
Apr. 6, 1667.
John Ruddock's first wife was Doritha -----,
who died May 9, 1686.
He then married Jane Brimstead, the
sister of Rev. William Brimstead the
clergyman, settled in the
town. She died Feb. 9, 1687/88 and he married
for a third wife,
Rebecca, who died Dec. 25, 1694, according to the
Marlboro
records.
He died Jan. 28 or 29,
