Sorry for the delayed "Thank You," Robin.I was not aware Chaplain Benj. Balch was also in Lexington. I don't know which line of Balchs he was from, but I have been searching for my husband's ancestors who might have served in Revolutionary War. I did find a cousin on Herrick line who was one of Paul Revere's messengers; Dr.Herrick rode along the Woburn area to alert citizens, then returned to Lexington for the march to Concord. My husband's line was from Benj. Balch married to Sarah Gardner. Thanks again.LD
