<P>Dr. Samuel Prescott was born August 19, 1751.  He lived in colonial <A href="/wiki/Concord,_Massachusetts" title="Concord, Massachusetts">Concord, Massachusetts</A>, among his large extended family. (His uncle was <A href="/wiki/Jonathan_Prescott_(military_officer)" title="Jonathan Prescott (military officer)">Jonathan Prescott</A>.)  Much of this history was probably passed on to the family by his grand uncle Samuel Prescott, who knew many of the early Prescotts, and was even old enough to remember the first ancestor of the Concord branch of the family, John Prescott,<SUP id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-2">[2]</A></SUP> founder of <A href="/wiki/Lancaster,_Massachusetts" title="Lancaster, Massachusetts">Lancaster, Massachusetts</A>.<SUP id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-3">[3]</A></SUP> Indeed, the Prescotts and their extended family played an important and often heroic role in colonial history.  These include settling Concord, fighting in colonial wars, and negotiating for the ransom of <A href="/wiki/Mary_Rowlandson" title="Mary Rowlandson">Mary Rowlandson</A>.<SUP id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-4">[4]</A></SUP>
</P><P>Prescott followed in the footsteps of his older brother Benjamin and apprenticed under his father, Abel Prescott, for about seven years.  He appears to have kept an extremely low profile during pre-revolutionary times as well as afterward, as best can be attained.  He did open a practice in Concord, just before or after which time he began to court Lydia Mulliken, daughter of a well-respected Lexington clockmaker who had died in 1767.<SUP id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-5">[5]</A></SUP>
</P><P>During the latter part of his <A href="/wiki/Apprenticeship" title="Apprenticeship">apprenticeship</A> or shortly after he began his medical practice, he became an active member in the <A href="/wiki/Patriot_(American_Revolution)" title="Patriot (American Revolution)">patriot movement</A>. There is strong circumstantial evidence that he was an express courier for the <A href="/wiki/Sons_of_Liberty" title="Sons of Liberty">Sons of Liberty</A> and the <A href="/wiki/Committees_of_Correspondence" class="mw-redirect" title="Committees of Correspondence">Committees of Correspondence</A>, and that he was an important liaison between the Concord Defense Committee and <A href="/wiki/John_Hancock" title="John Hancock">John Hancock</A> and other leaders of the patriots.<SUP id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-6">[6]</A></SUP>

<P>On the evening of April 18, 1775, <A href="/wiki/Paul_Revere" title="Paul Revere">Paul Revere</A> and <A href="/wiki/William_Dawes" title="William Dawes">William Dawes</A> were dispatched by <A href="/wiki/Joseph_Warren" title="Joseph Warren">Joseph Warren</A> to warn the countryside that the British were coming.

</P><P>When Prescott left Lexington, it was about 1 a.m. the next morning, April 19.  On his way back to Concord he met Paul Revere and William Dawes, who had just left Lexington shortly before him and were also on their way to Concord—to warn the town that the Redcoats were on the march.<SUP id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-9">[9]</A></SUP>
</P><P>When the three continued on to Hartwell's tavern in the lower bounds of Lincoln, they were cut off by four British horseman who were part of a larger scouting party sent out the preceding evening.  Revere was captured but both Prescott and Dawes succeeded in making a run for it.  Prescott did so with a show of artful horsemanship and knowledge of the forest.  Finally losing his pursuers, he circled about and headed quickly to Concord, carrying Revere's warning to his townsmen.<SUP class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<I><A href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><SPAN title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

</P><P>Dawes also escaped from his pursuers, but it was after a close chase, a frantic ruse on his part, and a bit of luck. Once he was safe, he considered circling around the patrol and racing on to Concord much as Prescott had, but he heard the Concord town house bell and knew Prescott had made it there, and so he continued on his special mission, for he was only assigned to accompany Revere to Concord.<SUP id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-10">[10]</A></SUP> Prescott, meanwhile, continued west to warn Acton, Massachusetts while his brother <A href="/wiki/Abel_Prescott,_Jr." class="mw-redirect" title="Abel Prescott, Jr.">Abel Prescott, Jr.</A> rode south to warn <A href="/wiki/Sudbury,_Massachusetts" title="Sudbury, Massachusetts">Sudbury</A> and <A href="/wiki/Framingham,_Massachusetts" title="Framingham, Massachusetts">Framingham</A>.

<P>Prescott's ride is re-enacted every <A href="/wiki/Patriots%27_Day" title="Patriots' Day">Patriots' Day</A> eve (observed) in the Town of Acton. The re-enactment begins in East Acton, continues through Acton Center, and ends at Liberty Tree Farm, where once was the home of a minuteman named Simon Hunt. The distance is approximately five miles (8 km).
</P><P>There are also re-enactments on Patriots' Day (usually the third Monday of April) of the rides of William Dawes and Paul Revere, to commemorate the famous "midnight" ride that began in the evening hours of April 18 and continued on April 19.
</P><P>Prescott's ride is re-enacted every year at midnight April 18–19 at Concord's First Parish Church. The re-enactment is preceded by a Patriots' Ball.  The Minute Men march with fife and drum leading the attendees from the armory to the church. The Captain of the Concord Minute Men reads a message handed him by "Prescott" on horseback.
</P><P>A memorial plaque to Prescott is at his former home in Concord, Massachusetts.<SUP id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-14">[14]</A></SUP>
