William Dawes

Portraits of William Dawes and his wife, Mehitabel Dawes, are in the Evanston History Center in Evanston, Illinois. William Dawes Jr. (April 6, 1745 – February 25, 1799) was an American soldier, and was one of several men who, in April 1775, alerted minutemen in Massachusetts of the approach of British regulars prior to the Battles of Lexington and Concord at the outset of the American Revolution. For some years, Paul Revere had the most renown for his ride of warning of this event. Provided by Wikipedia
