James White of Colrain  marched to Lexington and Concord in April 1775, at the start of the Revolutionary war. He survived the war and died in 1843. 

 

Today his remains are in the Christian Hill Cemetery overlooking his town (middle stone below).White and 30 other  men who marched that April were Colrain's first Revolutionary war soldiers..(see Muster Roll and blog post on the Gravesites here).   ... (James White grave pics from Don Purington.)
