Browne John Lane Jerapmel Bowers [Copy of a document in possession of Dr. John S. H. Fogg of South Boston] p.145 The locations of these garrisons can be fixed approximately by the known residences of the ho useholders belonging to them. 1. Those in John Moore's garrison lived on the Marlborough road in the southeast part of Bolt on, near the district now called Fryville. The graves of the brothers John and Jonathan Moor e are in the burial ground on the old road to Hudson. 2. Those composing the Whitcomb garrison lived also in Bolton, toward the northeast corner . Families descended from them resided there until recently. 3. The Priest garrison was at the easterly side of Bare Hill in Harvard 4. The Josiah White garrison was upon the east side of the Neck where Edward Houghton now lives. 5. Those belonging to Peter Joslin's garrison lived along the highway from the Sprague Bridg e to the North Village. 'Hervey' is an error for Hewes. 6. Those forming the Simon Willard garrison dwelt along the road thru Still River village. 7. Capt. Thomas Wilder's garrison was on the Old Common north of the highway and, accordin g to Joseph Willard, Esq., about twenty rods in rear of the house known as the Dr. David Steu art Robertson place. 8. The six men whose names are headed by that of Gamaliell Beman, had homes upon the east s lope of Wataquadock Hill. In the description of their lands frequent mention is made of 'th e cold spring' and 'the hill where Simon Pipo had a planting field.' 9. Rev. Andrew Gardner lived by the well a few rods westerly from the house of the late Co lonel Francis B. Fay; Samuel Prescott, across the road south; Thomas Sawyer, where his venera ble descendant, Mrs. Sally Case resides; Nathaniel Sawyer and Jabez Fairbank, half a mile wes terly in the Deer's Horns neighborhood. 10. The Prescott garrison site is in Clinton, southeast of and very near the crossing of Hig h and Water Streets. 11. Lieutenant Nathaniel Wilder's home was upon the slope of George Hill, next his father 's home lot. His brother Ephraim Wilder lived near, and his brother-in-law, Samuel Carter, o n the farm now owned by Frank D. Taylor. Thomas Ross lived half a mile north on the first lo t of John Smith. On July 30 1704, Sabbath morning or Monday morning Indians invaded Lancaster - Killed 2 o r 3 persons - burnt ye Meeting house and some other homes [Journal of Rev. John Pike]. Transcribed by Janice Farnsworth Subject: Lancaster in Philip's War Source: Source: The Early Records of Lancaster, Massachusetts 1643 -1725 Edited by Henry S. Nourse, A.M. Lancaster, 1884 p.100 Quanapaug finding that he must soon meet Philip, and having effected the the main purpose o f his errand, evaded his suspicious foes by a cunning stratagem, and on the 24th, 11th mo., 1 675, bought to his employers, the Governor and Council, full knowledge of the hostile force s and their fell intent. The emergency demanded speedy energy; it met inaction. Rumors of coming woe meantime stirred the air in the Nashaway valley. The chief military off icer, the minister, and other leading citizens went to the Bay to awaken the Council from the ir lethargy and beg for help. It was too late. February 9th 1675/6, about ten o'clock at ni ght, Job Kattenanit, the second spy, completely exhausted, dragged himself to Major Gookin' s door in Cambridge. He had deserted wife and children, and alone travelled upon snow shoe s through the pathless wilderness from New Braintree, a terribly fatiguing march of eighty mi les, to save his English friends. James Quanapaug had foretold that on the morrow the blow w ould be struck at Lancaster. Let Daniel Gookin tell Job's story and the fulfillment of the p rophecy. Daniel Gookin: 'He brought tidings that before he came from the enemy at Menemesse, a party of Indians, about four hundred, were marched forth to attack and burn Lancaster, an d on the morrow, which was February 10th they would attempt it. This time exactly suited with James his information before hinted, which was no t then credited as it should have been; and consequently no so good means used to prevent i t or at least to have lain in ambushments for the enemy. As soon as Major Gookin understoo d this tidings by Job, he rose out of his bed and, advising with Mr. Danforth one of the Coun cil that lived near him, they despatched away post in the night to Marlborough Concord and La ncaster, ordering forces to surround Lancaster with all speed. The posts were at Marlboroug h by break of day and Capt. Wadsworth with about forty soldiers marched away as speedily a s he could possibly to Lancaster (which was ten miles distant). But before he got there th e enemy had set fire on the bridge. But Capt. Wadsworth got over and beat off the enemy, re covering a garrison house, that stood near another bridge, belonging to Capt. Stevens, and s o through God's favor prevented the enemy from cutting off the garrison, God strangely preser ving that handful with Capt. Wadsworth, for the enemy were numerous, about four hundred, an d lay in ambushment for him on the common road, but his guides conducted him in a private way and so they got safe to Cyprian Stevens, his garrison house very near the other only bridge and a little ground parting them. This hous e burnt was the minister's house Mr. Rowlandson wherein were slain and taken captive about fo rty persons, the minister's wife and children amongst them. [Daniel Gookin's History of th e Praying Indians] p.104 London 1676. News from New England being a True and Last Account of the present Blood y Wars, etc. 'In a town called Nashaway which they set Fire to, and burnt to the Ground, taking no less th an 55 Persons into their Merciless Captivity, of these 55 Captives, the Minister of the Town s Relations made no less than 17 of them: viz. Mrs. Rowlandson, the Ministers Wife, and thre e of his children, her Sister [Elizabeth Kerley] and seven Children and her Sister Drew [Hann ah Divoll] and four Children.

Browne John Lane Jerapmel Bowers [Copy of a document in possession of Dr. John S. H. Fogg of South Boston] p.145 The locations of these garrisons can be fixed approximately by the known residences of the ho useholders belonging to them. 1. Those in John Moore's garrison lived on the Marlborough road in the southeast part of Bolt on, near the district now called Fryville. The graves of the brothers John and Jonathan Moor e are in the burial ground on the old road to Hudson. 2. Those composing the Whitcomb garrison lived also in Bolton, toward the northeast corner . Families descended from them resided there until recently. 3. The Priest garrison was at the easterly side of Bare Hill in Harvard 4. The Josiah White garrison was upon the east side of the Neck where Edward Houghton now lives. 5. Those belonging to Peter Joslin's garrison lived along the highway from the Sprague Bridg e to the North Village. 'Hervey' is an error for Hewes. 6. Those forming the Simon Willard garrison dwelt along the road thru Still River village. 7. Capt. Thomas Wilder's garrison was on the Old Common north of the highway and, accordin g to Joseph Willard, Esq., about twenty rods in rear of the house known as the Dr. David Steu art Robertson place. 8. The six men whose names are headed by that of Gamaliell Beman, had homes upon the east s lope of Wataquadock Hill. In the description of their lands frequent mention is made of 'th e cold spring' and 'the hill where Simon Pipo had a planting field.' 9. Rev. Andrew Gardner lived by the well a few rods westerly from the house of the late Co lonel Francis B. Fay; Samuel Prescott, across the road south; Thomas Sawyer, where his venera ble descendant, Mrs. Sally Case resides; Nathaniel Sawyer and Jabez Fairbank, half a mile wes terly in the Deer's Horns neighborhood. 10. The Prescott garrison site is in Clinton, southeast of and very near the crossing of Hig h and Water Streets. 11. Lieutenant Nathaniel Wilder's home was upon the slope of George Hill, next his father 's home lot. His brother Ephraim Wilder lived near, and his brother-in-law, Samuel Carter, o n the farm now owned by Frank D. Taylor. Thomas Ross lived half a mile north on the first lo t of John Smith. On July 30 1704, Sabbath morning or Monday morning Indians invaded Lancaster - Killed 2 o r 3 persons - burnt ye Meeting house and some other homes [Journal of Rev. John Pike]. Transcribed by Janice Farnsworth Subject: Lancaster in Philip's War Source: Source: The Early Records of Lancaster, Massachusetts 1643 -1725 Edited by Henry S. Nourse, A.M. Lancaster, 1884 p.100 Quanapaug finding that he must soon meet Philip, and having effected the the main purpose o f his errand, evaded his suspicious foes by a cunning stratagem, and on the 24th, 11th mo., 1 675, bought to his employers, the Governor and Council, full knowledge of the hostile force s and their fell intent. The emergency demanded speedy energy; it met inaction. Rumors of coming woe meantime stirred the air in the Nashaway valley. The chief military off icer, the minister, and other leading citizens went to the Bay to awaken the Council from the ir lethargy and beg for help. It was too late. February 9th 1675/6, about ten o'clock at ni ght, Job Kattenanit, the second spy, completely exhausted, dragged himself to Major Gookin' s door in Cambridge. He had deserted wife and children, and alone travelled upon snow shoe s through the pathless wilderness from New Braintree, a terribly fatiguing march of eighty mi les, to save his English friends. James Quanapaug had foretold that on the morrow the blow w ould be struck at Lancaster. Let Daniel Gookin tell Job's story and the fulfillment of the p rophecy. Daniel Gookin: 'He brought tidings that before he came from the enemy at Menemesse, a party of Indians, about four hundred, were marched forth to attack and burn Lancaster, an d on the morrow, which was February 10th they would attempt it. This time exactly suited with James his information before hinted, which was no t then credited as it should have been; and consequently no so good means used to prevent i t or at least to have lain in ambushments for the enemy. As soon as Major Gookin understoo d this tidings by Job, he rose out of his bed and, advising with Mr. Danforth one of the Coun cil that lived near him, they despatched away post in the night to Marlborough Concord and La ncaster, ordering forces to surround Lancaster with all speed. The posts were at Marlboroug h by break of day and Capt. Wadsworth with about forty soldiers marched away as speedily a s he could possibly to Lancaster (which was ten miles distant). But before he got there th e enemy had set fire on the bridge. But Capt. Wadsworth got over and beat off the enemy, re covering a garrison house, that stood near another bridge, belonging to Capt. Stevens, and s o through God's favor prevented the enemy from cutting off the garrison, God strangely preser ving that handful with Capt. Wadsworth, for the enemy were numerous, about four hundred, an d lay in ambushment for him on the common road, but his guides conducted him in a private way and so they got safe to Cyprian Stevens, his garrison house very near the other only bridge and a little ground parting them. This hous e burnt was the minister's house Mr. Rowlandson wherein were slain and taken captive about fo rty persons, the minister's wife and children amongst them. [Daniel Gookin's History of th e Praying Indians] p.104 London 1676. News from New England being a True and Last Account of the present Blood y Wars, etc. 'In a town called Nashaway which they set Fire to, and burnt to the Ground, taking no less th an 55 Persons into their Merciless Captivity, of these 55 Captives, the Minister of the Town s Relations made no less than 17 of them: viz. Mrs. Rowlandson, the Ministers Wife, and thre e of his children, her Sister [Elizabeth Kerley] and seven Children and her Sister Drew [Hann ah Divoll] and four Children.

These are found in the Records of Births, Deaths and Marriages, Liber III, pages 11 5 and 196; and Liber IV, pages 39 to 42, 121, 195, 206, 212 to 214. p.63 William Fairbank ye son of Jonathan & Thankfull Fairbank was born March 2, 1735/6 Rosters: Lancaster, MA 1757, 1758, 1759 and 1759-1760 F&I Northern Wars Westward Service 1759 to 1760 Lieut. Jacob Stiles Sgt. Jonathan Hutchins Peter Willard Benjamin Atherton John Bailey John McCarthy Silvanus Johnson Abner Osgood Robert Phelps Jonathan Phillips William Perham Joshua Proutee Moses Rodman James Squireen Joseph Turner. Besides these, Capt. Caleb Willard, Lieut. Aaron Willard and Ensign Nathaniel Willard are mentioned as in the service in 1759. Lieut. Jacob Stiles, Sgt Josiah Prentice and Richard Holland, a soldier, were under Capt. Aaron Willard in 1760, about nine months. In April 1761, Capt. Willard went to Crown Point by way of Fort No. 4. In the words of Mr. Willard, who probably knew some of the veterans of this contest: 'During this war a large proportion of the able-bodied men, both cavalry and infantry, in town, were actively engaged in service. The whole company of cavalry, excepting five privates, was out during the war.' Capt. Aaron Willard afterwards became colonel of one of the Worcester county regiments, and died in 1784, in the eighty-fourth year of his age. p.263 The joy of the people in view of the conquest of Canada and the other French possessions, was commensurate with the greatness of their sufferings in the war, and the importance of the result. The government of the province appointed a day of thanksgiving, October 9th, and 'recommended it to all ministers of the gospel, with their several congregations, to meet on that day to return thanks to Almighty God for his having so visibly supported us in this just and necessary war; and that all the people of the province might at one time, and with one voice, express their thankfulness on this glorious occasion.' It was a memorable thanksgiving. No record remains of the service in the First Parish; but the sermon preached by Rev. John Mellen, in the meeting house of the west parish, (now Sterling, Mass.), was printed. It was an able discourse, and may be read with interest after more than a hundred years. At the close, Mr. Mellen gives the names of the 'men lost by the war out of this parish.' [Sterling losses] They are listed here: Died in the Service of their country: Samuel Fairbanks William Fairbanks Isaac Kendall Ithamar Bennet Hezekiah Whitcomb John Whitcomb Jacob Glazier Simon Kendall John Farrar Jeremiah Dickenson William Brabrook Jacob Smith Jonathan Geary Philip Geno Reuben Walker Stephen Kendall George Bush Joseph Stewart. The first four were killed in 1755. From MAWORCES, Transcribed by Janice Farnsworth1
