"A little to the north of this stands the residence of Major Peter Hoar, a well- known and influ- ential man, whose house is a fine sample of the colonial man- sions of those days. He served in the company of militia commanded by Cap- tain Isaac Wood at the battle of Lexington, and later was in several of the expeditions into Rhode Island. He was major in the Fourth Regiment of militia of Massachusetts, and was afterwards promoted to the office of lieutenant-colonel, but retained the title of major instead of that of lieutenant-colonel. He was one of the selectmen of Middleboro for more than fifty years, and representative of the town in the legislature during the years 1809, 18 10, and 181 1. During his life he was an active member of the Second Baptist Church in Middleboro, and at his death he made provision in his will for the church which worshipped in the Pond meeting-house."
