DAVID, THOMAS, NATHANIEL, AND JOSIAH BRADLEE,

Were brothers, who lived in the house yet standing, on the southerly
corner of Hollis and Tremont Streets. Their sister, Sarah, assisted her
husband, John Fulton, and her brothers, to disguise themselves, having
made preparations for the emergency a day or two beforehand, and
afterwards followed them to the wharf, and saw the tea thrown into the
dock. Soon returning, she had hot water in readiness for them when
they arrived, and assisted in removing the paint from their faces. As
the story goes, before they could change their clothes, a British
officer looked in to see if the young men were at home, having a
suspicion that they were in the tea business. He found them in bed, and
to all appearance asleep, they having slipped into bed without removing
their "toggery," and feigning sleep. The officer departed satisfied.
Mrs. Fulton helped to dress the wounds of the soldiers who were in the
battle of Bunker Hill. She died in Medford, Mass., in 1836, and is the
authority for the above statement. Of the brothers,--

David, was born November 24, 1742; died March 10, 1811.

Doggett, I am indebted for the above facts.
