Memorial to the men of Quincy who served in the Revolutionary War, 1775-1783. This memorial is located in the Hancock Cemetery in Quincy Center.
This memorial specifically states "men" but we now know that Deborah Sampson also soldiered in the war. Other women most likely served as well, their names may be lost to us but are represented by Molly Pitcher, who may be a composite of many such women.
