Did Thomas newton hang a lantern in the old north church in Boston?

No. Paul Revere met at the Old North Church where the decision was made to warn the men in Concord and Lexington. The lanterns were a signal to those outside Boston----and not for Revere.

No, Paul Revere's friend hung them. But it wasnt Dawes because him and Revere were together when they notticed they were lit.
