Notities over Ephraim Coburn

Dracut, first called by the Indian name Augomtoosooke, then calledDrawcott, the name of the town from which Edward Colborne came to Ipswich in 1635. Varnham came the same year, settling on the west side of the Merrimack River.
In December, 1774, the Provincial Congress decided to enlist 12000 men to act as Minute Men. The train band was reorganized with Stephen Russell, captain; Bphraim Coburn, lieutenant; and Abraham Coburn, ensign. Joseph Bradley Varnum, before mentioned, a young man of 23 years of age, was made military instructor.
In those days no house was completely equipped which did not include a musket or "Queens arm," as it was called, with powder, bullets and flints. So when the bells were rung for an alarm or a signal gun fired by a farmer, each man seized his own musket and ran to meet his comrades at the ralljang place which had been appointed. Deposited in the Draeut museum is an old assessment and rate book in which is an entry relating to this time. It is entitled, "County and Baggonate rate East part 1774." The book is a curiosity as the cover is made of a piece of oak board about the thickness of cigar box board and covered with brown paper. The number to be assessed is 120 and in addition to the County rates the assessments are to pay for the ' ' purchase of a number of Baggonates for the towns use. ' ' This is signed by Ephraim Coburn, Peter Coburn, and Ephraim Curtis, the selectmen and assessors. They were not at first provided with baggonates, or bayonets, as now called, and at Lexington and Bunker Hill they were not needed, but later the bayonet charge by the Provincials was so fierce and determined that the trained soldiers of England were forced to retire before them.
