"The Burning of Falmouth" [Gould 1873]
"Mrs. Barton remained in her house waiting for her husband, until the hot shot and shells began to fall near, and several of the neighboring buildings were on fire, and her own dwelling had become untenable. She tied up her only feather bed with some small articles of clothing in a sheet, and slung it over her shoulder. She then took her little boy on her other arm and fled from the burning town."
Her husband found her.
"When the fire had slackened they ventured out, and walked to her father's in Windham, eleven miles."
"Their dwelling and household goods were burnt, and they were compelled to begin the world anew. Barton and his wife's father built a small log house half a mile from the father's, and here he left his wife and joined Capt. Richard Mayberry's company as corporal."
