William Lamb's Injury [Milburn Room]

⁠

In the Riot, William was hit on the leg by a musket ball fired by one of the soldiers.

⁠

It looked like a terrible wound, however with his experience of farm animals and their injuries he was not squeamish about the injury. Would you be? William headed back home, slowly, on the Carlisle road to reach his farm at Haydon Bridge. There, his wife was able to keep the wound clean and help William make a recovery. The musket ball was still in his leg because his wife was not able to remove it. He kept out of view for many weeks after the event to avoid any detection from the militia who may have spotted the injury and decided William had been involved in the Riot and arrested him.
