The soldiers occupied barracks on Prospect and Winter Hills. Between 11 and 12 o'clock on the 5th of April, 1778, General Burgoyne left Cambridge for Rhode Island; and on the 15th a division of the Convention troops marched for Rutland, under escort of a detachment of militia, commanded by Major Read.
