From The History of the Town of Concord, Massachusetts, by Lemuel Shattuck, 1835: "In September, 1780, the town raised £550 to pay for hiring soldiers in the United States service for the two last campaigns. In June previous, seven men, John Johnson Rufus Johnson Nathan Merrill Jonas Bacon Cambridge Moore Jonas Duren Cesar Prescott had been hired to go to the North River, six months for a bounty of 120 bushels of corn each; and eight men: Joshua Holt John Webber Ebenezer Hardy Amos Bemis Jonathan Wilson Andrew Hall Isaac Simonds Israel Mead Blood were hired for three months to Rhode Island for 90 bushels of corn each." He built the house, now known as the Olive Stow House at 965 Lexington Road, along a portion of the Battle Road in Concord ca 1784. A photo of the Ebenezer Hardy house with produce stand was taken by Harriett Merrifield Forbes on 2 June 1937. [3]
