LARRABEE, Benjamin of Lynn. Private. SOURCE: [7] History of Lynn, Mass., page 580.

LARRABEE, Thomas of Dover. He was born Aug. 15, 1752, and married June, 1778, Bathsheba Morse of Dedham, born June 24, 1753, died Nov. 10, 1843. Mr. Larrabee was descended from Ephraim Larrabee, who was of Charlestown in 1717 and later at Stoneham (1729). His father, Thomas Larrabee, lived at Woburn, and was in the French and Indian War. Mr. Larrabee was the most prominent private of the Springfield Parish in the Revolution. In his early manhood he was in the employ of Jabez Baker, who also served in the Revolutionary War, and in preparing to enter the service took a grist of grain to mill for Mr. Baker, that the family might not be without meal in their absence. To illustrate how all contributed toward the success of the Revolution, it is still repeated around Dover firesides that the miller took no toll for the grist because he wanted to contribute his mite toward the success of the Revolution. Mr. Larrabee was one of General Washington's Life Guards and rendered an important Revolutionary service. He was a man of large stature and strong personality, and for many years entertained the young men as they gathered around the bar-room of the William's Tavern with stories of the war. Mr. Larrabee used to tell the amusing story(*) of the Irishman, who, at Trenton, captured five Hessians and brought them into camp. On being asked by Washington how he accomplished such a feat, he replied, "I surrounded them, sir." While stationed at Valley Forge there was a Tory near by who had a large quantity of turnips which he refused the American Army. On one occasion he was discovered carting a load to the British Army, whereupon the Americans took possession of the turnips and compelled him to do some shoveling; while thus engaged the soldiers tantalized him with the exclamation, "O, how good those turnips taste." During the seige of Boston British officers were very overbearing. The story is told of an officer who entered a barber's shop and demanded a shave. Laying his sword on the barber's table, he told him that if he drew a drop of blood on his face it would cost him his life. The barber invited him to sit right down and take his shave. After the work was finished the officer said, "How did you dare to shave me under the conditions?" "Well," said the barber, "if I had drawn a drop of blood on your face I should have cut your throat from ear to ear." Then the officer realized the danger to which he had exposed himself. Mr. Larrabee learned to cobble shoes, and during the winter months, it is said, repaired the boots of Army officers at Valley Forge.

The Larrabee estate was located in the easterly part of the town on Strawberry hill, but some distance from the highway. He originally selected a site still farther south and dug a cellar preparatory to building, but visiting the premises with his fiancee, Miss Morse, she refused to live there, as she saw several rattlesnakes in the vicinity. He died July 10, 1832. SOURCE: [32] The Genealogical History of Dover, Massachusetts; pages 158-160.
