�Near the corner of Beech Street, and on the
easterly side of Elm Street, stood the
house of Timothy Tufts.Here Percy
halted his army while his two field pieces were dragged up the hill back of the
Tufts house and discharged toward his pursuers, with the usual result of his
cannonading, - none killed.From out a
grove a little way up the road came a scattering fire of American
sharpshooters, and in consequence quite a number of Britons were killed.They fell in the road, just in front of the
Tufts house, and a tablet there marks where they were buried.�
