Subject: [GM-L] Jonathan Hoar "a native graduate" - Chapter V - Part 4
Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2002 22:41:53 EDT
To explain Lemuel Shattuck's phrase "a native graduate" in reference to
Jonathan Hoar : (meaning, native of Concord & graduate of Harvard.) Almost all the
college graduates born at Concord, graduated from Harvard. The list is long and I
will transcribe them all later.
Source: History of the Town of Concord. Mass. p.247
Jonathan Hoar, son of Lieut. Daniel Hoar was graduated from Harvard in 1740.
He was an officer in the provincial service during the war from 1744 to 1763.
In 1755 he went as Major to Fort Edward and the next year was a Lieutenant
Colonel in Nova Scotia and aid to Major General Winslow at Crown Point.
After the peace of 1763, he went to England and was appointed Governor of
New Foundland and the neighboring provinces but died on his passage thither
in 1771 aged 52.

As there was no recruiting officer near him, Col. Winslow persuaded me to enlist once more into the service. I had orders to enlist what men I could; and having obtained a number of recruits, I proceeded with them to join the Regiment at the Castle, near Boston, and was directed to enter Capt. Abel Cain's [Keen's] company. Here I was appointed a sergeant."
