SUMMARY:Captain Samuel Russell Trevett\, Artillery Commander at Bunker Hill 1776
DESCRIPTION:The Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17\, 1775\, up above Charlestown\, just north of Boston\, early in the war\, is famous for several reasons. The battle\, the Revolutionary War’s first major combat involving cannons\, was a loss for the Americans\, but the British suffered a high number of casualties. One of the American revolution’s charismatic young leaders\, Dr. Joseph Warren\, a doctor and a Son of Liberty of Boston\, was also a significant loss\, as he was mortally wounded there. But a little-known episode involves a Marblehead artillery commander\, Captain Samuel Russel Trevett\, who fought valiantly and was the only American to lead his cannon company into the thick of the fray\, defying the orders of his superior officers. He also dragged a field-piece down off the hill as the American forces retreated. It was the only American cannon that was not captured by the enemy. Trevett\, however\, was falsely accused of his superior officer’s failures. Though he was exonerated soon after\, he never rejoined the army\, but served instead as a Captain aboard privateer vessels through the war’s end in 1782. \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 Leader – Colonel John Glover & his Crucial Leadership in 1776
DESCRIPTION:John Glover is justly the most famous and celebrated of Marblehead’s hundreds of Revolutionary servicemen due to his capable and resolute leadership of his intrepid and unflinching Continental Army regiment during the war’s first year and a half\, through December 1776\, while he was a Colonel. Although the numbers of his soldiers were somewhat in flux as hundreds would leave to serve as captains and crews on privateer vessels\, nearly 600 men and teenaged boys served in the rebel Patriot army in June 1775. This talk will primarily discuss Colonel Glover’s time as commander of that so-called “Marblehead Regiment” (1775 – 76). But it will focus on the pivotal last four months of 1776 –– from the crucial evacuation of Long Island that saved Commander-in-Chief George Washington’s entire army of 9\,000 men and equipment\, to the pivotal December Crossing of the Delaware River in lashing sleet (and back again\, in worsened conditions\, with two grueling nine-mile marches in between)\, which saved the war effort itself. \nAfterward\, most of Col. Glover’s remaining men returned home\, and would join their mates in privateering –– to Glover’s frustration\, though a handful of stalwart officers stayed in the army with him. Colonel Glover was promoted to General in Feb. 1777\, and served throughout the rest of the war’s 7 long years. He retired from service in 1782\, as hostilities on the N. American continent finally ended. \nLarry Sands is the captain of Glover’s Marblehead Regiment\, a reenactment unit established in 1974. A member for over 35 years\, he has filled all leadership roles and has participated in reenactments of every engagement in which the original regiment served. \n

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.
