Coburn
(page 110-111):
�Down the easterly slope of Concord
Hill they almost ran in more or less confusion and intense excitement. The Americans were actively keeping up their
firing, and so more Britons were killed and wounded, three of the latter so
severely that they were abandoned by their fellow soldiers, fell into the hands
of the Americans, and were taken into Buckman Tavern.1 One subsequently died and was buried with the
British slain in the old cemetery near by.
Their graves are unmarked.2
