"Mr. Ordway was in poor circumstances in his old age, and had a bad ulcer on his leg. (Asa) says his father sent him one day to Mr. Ordway with a gallon of rum to bathe his lame leg, and with it a message saying that the rum was sent to pay for throwing stones, at the battle of Bunker Hill. The story being, that when the ammunition gave out, at the close of battle, Ordway laid down his gun and threw stones at the British until driven out."
