He was in the service only 15 days. Mar. 4, 1776, he marched to Dorchester for the taking possession of Dorchester Heights. Copied from the records of Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors: “John Loud, Private, Capt. Thomas White’s Company, Col. Joseph Palmer’s regiment; service, 15 days; company assembled March 4, 1776, marched to Dorchester, and served there and at other places between that date and May 1, 1776.” He was drowned in Boston Harbor in Mar. 1776. The source of information was private letters and family Bibles of his sons, James Loud and Sylvanus Loud, and Dr. Watson Loud’s diary. As a result of the fortification of Dorchester Heights, by order of General Washington, on the night of March 16, 1776, General Howe, in command of the British forces in Boston and of the fleet, found Boston no longer tenable, and on March 17 he evacuated the towns and set sail for Halifax. About this time, March 14, 1776, John’s brother, William Brewster Loud, was at Boston Harbor, when taken as prisoner and carried to England aboard a prison ship. Mercy Vining, John Loud’s wife, was born in Weymouth, MA., the daughter of Thomas and Hannah (Randall) Vining. There is no record in Weymouth and it is believed by all her researching descendants that she died in Braintree with no record. Diaries say their first born (John Randall Loud)probably died young. Dr. Watson Loud’s diary says he contacted children of the brothers and sisters of John Randall Loud and they said they did not know of him. Mercy was only 41 when her husband died, so we looked for a second marriage record, but found nothing. CHILDREN, 7th AND 9th BORN IN BRAINTREE, MA., ALL OTHERS IN WEYMOUTH, MA: 1.
