He enlisted in June 1861 and died of disease nine months later, the town voted to fund and bring his remains home. Eden London, a Revolutionary War veteran from near Fitchburg, fought at Bunker Hill, wintered at Valley Forge, and was discharged in 1779 still enslaved. What we know of his life comes largely from a court dispute between two towns arguing over who should support him in old age; those records named his eleven previous enslavers. Unlike most Revolutionary War veterans, his grave went unmarked until the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003edigital inkjet print by Scarlett Hoey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize: 16x20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003eAbout Scarlett Hoey\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScarlett Hoey is a MassArt alum and the Executive Director of the Wayland Museum \u0026amp; Historical Society, steward of the 1742 Grout-Heard House and the community's collections spanning nearly four centuries of Wayland history.
