None of the Willards appear to have been ardent

patriots, and their connection with the Revolutionary War was more or less perfunctory. Simon

joined Captain Aaron Kimballs company of militia

and marched to Roxbury at the time of the Lexington alarm, April 19, 1775. He served for one week.

Later he was drafted, but secured a substitute and

remained in Grafton during the rest of the war.

On November 29, 1776, he married his cousin,

Hannah Willard, who died, with her child, in 1777.

In 1780 he moved to Roxbury and set up a shop at

what is now 2196 Washington Street. Here he

lived, with his shop back of the house, intil he retired

in 1839. As an advertisement he built a big double dial clock which he hung on the front of the house

next door, his own house being too small. This

clock was a landmark in Roxbury until 1839, when

Willard presented it to the town.

On January 23, 1788, he was married again to

Mrs. Mary (Bird) Leeds, a widow, of Dorchester,

who died July 23, 1823, leaving eleven children.
