I'm putting together my first strike guide posts and would like to add the age of the men who died in Lexington during the first skirmish. Trying to show that Capt Parker's men were from all ages.
Here is what I have:
Jonas Parker - 52
Isaac Muzzy - 31
Jonathan Harrington Jr. - 30
Samuel Hadley - 29
Caleb Harrington - 25
Robery Munroe - 63
What I don't have, and can't find anywhere, are the ages of John Brown and Ashabel Porter. Can anyone help?
Brown: 32
Porter: 29
I sometimes do a Memorial Volley and announce the ages of those who died. Afterwards I point out the fact that they never grew to an old age, never held their grandchildren, and did not die at home in their own bed. Makes an impact.
I think all the men's ages were listed on the April 19th Memorial Volley for Liberty COF.

Where can I find the April 19th COF?
This is what I have been using. After appropriate framing, for the volley, I will announce a name followed by "aim, fire!" Pause. Repeat. Until all names have been given.
ROBERT MONROE-- age 63
JONAS PARKER-- age 53
SAMUEL HADLEY-- age 29
JONATHAN HARRINGTON-- age 30
ISAAC MUZZY-- age 31
CALEB HARRINGTON-- age 24
JOHN BROWN-- age 32
ASHAEL PORTER-- age 29
ISAAC DAVIS-- age 30
ABNER HOSMER-- age 21
JAMES HAYWARD-- age 26
JOHN RAYMOND-- age 44
NATHANIEL WYMAN-- age 59 (?)
JEDEDIAH MUNROE-- age 54
OK, I was mistaken. It wasn't on the COF, it was posted in a thread by 9mm4545, and it included others, not just those at Lexington. Here is what he posted:

I hope that is helpful.
