WARREN, Ephraim of Townshend. Capt. Henry Farwell's Company, Col. William Prescott's Regiment to the first of August, 1775; Corporal. The ancestors of the Warrens, of Townsend, came over from England, in early colonial times. The direct descent of this family is traceable to Ephraim Warren (born at Chelmsford, in 1731), who came to this town from Chelmsford about 1760. His father's name was Ephraim, and he was a brother of Thomas Warren, who was a captain in the continental army, and also represented Townsend in the General Court, and served on the board of selectmen for a number of years. The Ephraim, who settled here, married Mary Parker, sister of Lieutenant-Colonel Moses Parker, of the "27th Regiment of foot in the revolutionary war," and he lived on the Shirley road, about a mile southeast from the Harbor. He is represented, by tradition, as a man some below medium stature, of the Zaccheus-Napoleon type. He was the man who left his plow in the furrow, and started immediately, on horseback, when the alarm was given to the minute-men, on the 19th of April, 1775. He died in 1812.

WEBBER, Benjamin of Gloucester. Capt. Nathaniel Warner's Company, 1775. Private. While at Bunker Hill, he was wounded in the right arm while in the act of firing his last charge. Benjamin Webber, "performed an act during this conflict which deserves more than passing mention. News came of the conflict at Lexington, and was followed by the enlistment of Captain Warner's company. Webber was then a mere boy, engaged on his father's farm at Freshwater Cove. Imbued with patriotic ardor, he determined to enlist. The family, however, had no suitable musket, and such was the scarcity of arms at that immediate period that none could be obtained. Webber, however, heard of an old Queen's arm to be had at Lanesville, and set out on foot for that locality, where he procured the piece, which had been lengthened with a section of barrel tubing, brazed on. He enlisted and went to the front. At the rail fence, young Webber's attention was drawn to a British officer on horseback actively engaged in directing the movements of his troops. It was Major Pitcairn, brave, but somewhat boastful. "Do you see that officer on horseback?" remarked Webber to a comrade, "Well, I am going to try and bring him down." Raising on his knee, the young farmer took unerring aim, fired with deadly effect and Major Pitcairn fell mortally wounded. Some time afterward an effort was made to secure this musket as a historical souvenir, but it had disappeared and could not be traced. Some curiosity seekers desirous of obtaining the weapon broke into the Webber residence at the Cove, and stole an old weapon used by Mr. Webber in his gunning expeditions, under the impression that it was the arm used at Bunker Hill. But in this they were mistaken. Such is the story told the writer some eight years ago by the late Mr. Benjamin Webber, a man of the highest respectability and veracity, whose descendents still occupy the old homestead erected on the land granted to their ancestor Michael, at Fresh Water Cove. This account is here given to the public for the first time". SOURCE: [27] History of the Town and City of Gloucester, Massachusetts; pages 74-75.
