Textual evidence to support connection
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.
He said to his friend, "If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of the North Church tower as a signal light,--
One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to arm."

Paul Revere was tasked with warning Sam Adams and John Hancock that the British were coming to arrest them and on the way he stopped to knock on doors and rouse the Sons of Liberty militia to action. Revere encountered the British at one point but outran them and escaped without shouting a single warning.
After warning Adams and Hancock, Revere and two others continued riding on arousing the militia. On this ride Revere was captured by British troops. While a pistol was being held to his head, Revere confessed his actions and told the British that the militia had been warned of their movement and would be ready to fight.
After holding Revere for a while they took his horse and left Revere on foot. Revere ran across a pasture and graveyard to again reach the house where Adams and Hancock had been where he helped hide John Hancock's trunk.
