John Adams and John Hancock hid in Lexington, Massachusetts, during the early stages of the American Revolution. They took refuge in the home of a local resident, Josiah Quincy, to avoid arrest by British troops who were seeking to capture them. This was part of the larger context of tensions leading to the battles of Lexington and Concord in April 1775.
