SUMMARY:Captain Nicholson Broughton\, First Captain of the Privateer Hannah
DESCRIPTION:Captain Nicholson Broughton earned honor as the first commodore of the United States Navy. But he first gained fame as captain of the even more famous schooner Hannah\, the “first” official privateer vessel sent out from Marblehead / Beverly waters under a commission from George Washington in service of his Continental Army\, on September 2\, 1775. Broughton had at first been a captain of one of the ten regiments in Colonel John Glover’s 21st Massachusetts Regiment (as it began in June 1775). In November 1775\, Captain Broughton commanded the privateer Hancock\, which sailed up to Nova Scotia waters with the schooner Franklin\, commanded by Captain John Selman\, also of Marblehead\, to interrupt the shipping of British armaments to bases in Canada. Finding none\, they took matters into their own hands and were court martialed personally by Commander-in-Chief George Washington. \nDonald Doliber was appointed as Marblehead’s Town Historian after 24 years as an award-winning history teacher\, who was selected as the “Outstanding  American History Teacher in the United States” by the Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.)\, followed by 17 years as an assistant high school principal. His ancestors arrived in Marblehead in the 1630s and were fishermen\, selectmen\, and merchants in the early community\, and later\, a few served in the Revolutionary War. \nThis event is presented in collaboration with the Marblehead 250 Committee and Abbot Public Library.  \nThis program is funded in part by a grant from the Marblehead Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, a state agency.

SUMMARY:Revolutionary War Heroes in Marblehead Cemeteries
DESCRIPTION:Many men from Marblehead fought in the American Revolution. Most were part of the 14th Continental\, known as Glover’s regiment. There were also captains and sailors in Washington’s crucial privateer fleet. Rebels who fought back in other ways\, such as serving on Committees and attending the early Continental Congress\, were also part of the story. Many never returned home\, dying on battlefields or at sea. But those buried in Marblehead’s graveyards help us remember our Town’s role in the nation’s fight for independence. Find out more about who lies where\, and about what’s wrong with the 1930 Tercentenary sign at Old Burial Hill. \nPam Peterson is the Chair of Marblehead Historical Commission and served on Marblehead’s Cemetery Commission after 19 years at the Marblehead Museum\, first as Director of Education and then as Executive Director\, as well as designer of several exhibitions. She is a columnist for the Marblehead ‘Current’ newspaper\, and has recently written a book about all of the cemeteries in Marblehead\, which also includes stories about some of the people who were interred in them.
