      The first documentation of fife and drum in Uxbridge, Massachusetts was the enlistment of Baxter Hall, drummer. He was born in Uxbridge in 1757. At the age of eighteen he volunteered for service with the Minute Company formed during the Lexington Alarm of April 19, 1775.

      Hall later served as a Drummer with Col. Nathan Tylers, 15th Massachusetts Regiment of Conntinental Line. He served at many engagements; Bunker Hill, Tiverton R.I. and Saratoga N.Y. just to name a few. He reported in his pension request that he was present at West Point N.Y. under General Benedict Arnold. Being a drummer he was not detached on a wood cutting pretense ordered by Arnold, and was present at his Headquarters the morning of his escape. Hall obviously learned his craft in Uxbridge, but gives no reference to how.
