Monday, March 13, 1775. The Westminster Massacre.

William French and Daniel Houghton were killed by a sheriff's posse, after a crowd occupied the Westminster Courthouse to protest the evictions of several poor farmers from their homes by judges and other officials from New York.

Some regard it as a battle of the American Revolution.
