Thomas Nixon's Regiment in 1777. He fought in the second Battle of Saratoga, Sep-Oct 1777, and was present during the surrender of General John Burgoyne. He was promoted to the rank of major in 1780.[2][3][4][5] He eventually held the rank of major general in the Massachusetts State Militia.
John Spurr's granddaughter, Mary Louisa Spurr, was the first wife of Sen. George Frisbie Hoar, and the mother of Congressman Rockwood Hoar.[6][7]
