Abel Prescott (April 7, 1718October 22, 1805) was a physician in Concord, Massachusetts and the father of two American patriots who sounded the alarm on April 19, 1775. He was the father of Samuel and Abel Prescott who both joined Paul Revere and William Dawes on their ride to warn the militia that the British were on the move. Samuel Prescott was the only one to actually make it to Concord. Abel rode south to warn the towns of Sudbury and Framingham. The rapid warning of Revere, Dawes, and Samuel and Abel Prescott alerted the Minutemen of this region in time for them to engage the British Army at the Battle of Lexington and Concord. He was a great-great-great grandfather of Samuel P. Bush. == Sources == * Prescott Memorial 1870 by William Prescott 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abel Prescott」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
