https://www.facebook.com/groups/1402941863565341′ rel=’nofollow noreferrer noopener’ target=’_blank’>Francis C. Barlow historian and author Andrea M. Quinn shares the story of the contested memory of the Revolutionary War and Gen. Barlow’s role in “Concord’s Fight” in this virtual lecture from Wallace House & Old Dutch Parsonage State Historic Sites.

Francis Barlow’s first wife Arabella was great-great-granddaughter of John and Mary Wallace of Wallace House and Rev. Jacob Rutsen and Dinah Van Bergh Hardenbergh of Old Dutch Parsonage. Born in Somerville February 29, 1824, Arabella served as a nurse in the Civil War. Arabella twice nursed her husband Frank back to health following serious wounds at the Battles of Antietam and Gettysburg and finally succumbed herself to typhus contracted serving soldiers on the battlefields of Virginia, dying in a Washington war hospital July 27, 1864.

Answer the Call for Action of Two Lights for Tomorrow and consider bringing to Wallace House & Old Dutch Parsonage State Historic Sites in Somerville a donation of supplies needed for the Food Bank Network of Somerset County: https://www.somersetfoodbank.org/about/give-supplies/’ rel=’nofollow noreferrer noopener’ target=’_blank’>https://www.somersetfoodbank.org/about/give-supplies/

Two Lights for Tomorrow is a nationwide initiative to commence the celebration of the 250th birthday of the United States of America. The famous ride of Paul Revere occurred on the overnight of April 18 – 19, 1775. Two Lights for Tomorrow commemorates that famous ride and uses the imagery of that shining light today as a uniting call to action for our citizens to celebrate and serve.
