Captain Parker's Company had a roster of 144 men. Seventy-seven members stood on the Common on the morning of April 19, 1775 in defiance of the King's orders to "lay down your arms". Those men included:

*Sylvanus Wood and Robert Douglass heard the alarm bell from Woburn Precinct and came to Lexington. Although they were not members of the Lexington militia, they were asked to join the assembly.

The battle was really a brief skirmish. Neither Captain Parker nor Major Pitcairn had intended to fire. However, during the confrontation shots were fired. One of the regulars was wounded while 8 members of the militia were killed. Many of those killed or wounded were shot while dispersing from the Common.

Wounded: John Robbins, Solomon Pierce, John Tidd, Joseph Comee, Ebenezer Munroe Jr., Thomas Winship, Nathaniel Farmer, Prince Estabrook, Jedediah Munroe.

Only a few of the militia were known to have returned fire.
