      ——
      Dr. Elisha Story was supportive of the Patriot cause and joined in throwing tea into the harbor on December 6, 1773. He became the company surgeon with Colonel Little's regiment and march with them to Lexington on April 10, 1775. He fought beside his friend, Joseph Warren (who was also a physician) at the Battle of Bunker Hill. He assisted in removing a wounded friend to a place close by called "Winter Hill" during the fighting, where he remained for the night to take care of the wounded and dying. It is said that late in the year of 1777, he served in the New Jersey campaign with General George Washington. He resigned from the army that year because of the mismanagement of the medical division. [1]
