by Christopher Hurley
Submitted to the Lexington Minute Men, November, 2018

Robert Douglass Jr. lived very near Lexington. His father’s door was in the west part of Woburn
Massachusetts on a large farm on the Cambridge road near Locust street, north of present day Four
Corners. Robert, the middle child of five, was sixteen years old at the time ofthe Lexington Alarm.
After serving in the American War of Independence he advanced to the rank of Major in the
Massachusetts militia, married twice, moved to Portland Maine, prospered in business, and lived to
see his family and the nation grow and change.
