Seth Fuller was in Capt. Joseph Guild's Company of Minutemen, Col. John Greaton's Regiment, in Dedham, Massachusetts.
Entered the conflict at Arlington.
Two Bedford companies, Captain John Moore's militia and Captain Jonathan Wilson's minute men, were among the earliest arrivals; not only had two of Parker's Lexington men alerted them to the march, but also they had seen the undeniable evidence of Josiah Nelson's saber cut, when they mustered at Fitch's Tavern. Their ensign carried Bedford's own military flag, a cavalry guidon from the French and Indian war, bearing the motto VINCE AUT MORIRE - Win or Die (The Minute Men: a compact history, p. 147) See also The Battle of April 19, 1775, by Coburn p. 80.
