The parish records show that he was baptized August 7, 1774. The poem evidently (Hd not refer to a Revohitionarv expe- rience. He died October 30, 1852, aged ']'$). These dates so perplexed me, notwithstanding the tradition that vStanwood came back from the war a cripple, and the further fact that tlie children of Mrs. Dade, once a resident of the village, had handed down her stories of the exploits of "Morgan Stannard, " that I asked Mr. Rich his authorit}- for the poem. He candidly confessed ...that although he wrote the lines with the full belief that ^Morgan Stanwood was the hero of ■Rowe's Bank, Mr. Babson, the historian, later con- vinced him that Peter Lurvev, of Dogtown Commons, and not vStanwood, was the man who should ha\e been immortalized. It is quite evident, also, that Stanwood did not live in the house with the "door-step stone, " for this is the cellar of John Clark, who resided there within the memorv of men now living. This house, like most of those remaining in the earlv part of the century, was a small structure, perhaps 1^x35, ^^t'^iid- ing side to the road, with a door in the middle, and with an ordinarv pitched roof.
