Daniel Malcolm

[2] Malcolm was known for resisting the British authorities in the years leading up to the American Revolutionary War.

[3] He was the brother of John Malcolm, a minor British customs officer who was violently tarred and feathered by a Boston mob.

[6] When British customs men showed up to confiscate the contraband stowed in his cellar, he refused.

[9] It is said that he took risk in providing this eye witness account, which was published in the Boston Chronicle's January 9, 1769, issue.

[6] He is said to have asked to be buried in the location, ten feet deep "safe from British bullets".
