    Nobody heard him only his young son. The boy seized a bowl and filling it with water brought it to his father. A British Yeoman saw him and ran him through with his sword. The Child's mother on seeing this ran at the soldier and tried to choke him, but the Yeomen killed her also.
    In later years, a statue was put up in memory of the boy who died on the spot.
