No, he was not.
The war didn't start until a year after Lexington and Concord, and these two events were more a skirmish than a battle. When the British troops arrived in Lexington they met 77 men from the town on the green. The men were facing strongest most powerful army of the time and they were not trained soldiers . Someone fired a shot and before the troops moved on some of the colonist were dead and houses had been set on fire. The British moved on down the road to Concord, and the word spread about the event in Lexington . The two groups met again at the Bridge of Concord where a few shots were fired, but going back to Boston was not easy for the British. The colonist fired at them from behind trees and fences all the way. Washington will not take over as commander of the army until 1776.
