James Fales served as a Private in Captain Sabin Man's company of Minutemen, in Colonel Greaton's regiment, which marched on the Lexington Alarm (Lexington & Concord).
Joseph Fales was a private at the Lexington Alarm (Lexington & Concord) under Captain Jeremiah Smith and Colonel John Smith. He also served under Captains Clap and Haskins and Colonels Wheelock and Jacobs, Massachusetts troops.

Ayres, 2nd Brigade under Colonel Sidney Burbank, General Headquarters - 12th New York Infantry, Companies D and E, 17th Pennsylvania Cavalry, Companies D and H. He was in Company E, 11th U.S. He was involved in the fighting around Little Round Top which may include the Peach Orchard, Wheat Field and Possibly Devil's Den. Our documentation says he died on July 8th, 1863 and the information we found online states that he was wounded on July 2nd, 1863 on the 2nd day of the Battle of Gettysburg so it seems he died of his wounds several days later.
