Abigail’s sister (and therefore our 1C10R) Prudence Russell
married Nathaniel Hancock, Jr., brother to the Reverend John Hancock. No, not the rich patriot with the fancy signature, but his grandfather, the founding minister of the church in Lexington (and thus a very close associate of brother-in-law Matthew Bridge).
Reverend John-the-grandfather was the original builder of the Hancock/Clarke parsonage, where Samuel Adams and John Hancock the grandson (these folks’ great-nephew) would spend the night of April 18, 1775. In front of which our cousin (H2C7R) Sergeant William Munroe would shush Paul Revere in the middle of the night… Their stones, alas rather hard to read, stand in the old Cambridge Burying Ground at Harvard Square. |
