March
2002 meeting.........
THE
SEIZURE OF HIS MAJESTY’S FORT
WILLIAM AND MARY
When
you read the history books you get the general impression
that this country’s giant step toward revolution
was at Lexington and Concord, and that perhaps prior
to that time Paul Revere did nothing but make silver
items (except for the one time he rode his horse to
spread the alarm that the British were coming). You
might also have the impression that New Hampshire
men’s first venture into revolution was at Bunker
Hill. Well my friends, you don’t know the whole
story! Well the story was told, and included Epsom's
Andrew McClary.
Our speaker was Thomas F. Kehr, President of the New
Hampshire Society, Sons of the American Revolution,
who is an attorney in Concord, New Hampshire, where
he resides with his wife and four young children.
He was a founding partner of Kehr and Urban, LLP,
a firm dealing with Federal and State civil litigation
arising across New England, and currently operates
the Office of Thomas F. Kehr, PLLC, Attorney at Law,
in Concord (Penacook), New Hampshire. His essay on
the seizure of the Fort William and Mary recently
appeared in the SAR national magazine.If you missed

unique
