    Pickernell, James, & wife killed by Indians at Sprouse Creek, Kittery, ME June 1, 1712 NEWS LIT. [Index of Obituaries 1704-1800 Boston Antheneaum]

    We learn from Penhallow that 1 June 1712, the Indians came again to Spruce Creek and shot James Pickernell "as he was locking his door and going to the garrison; they also wounded his wife and knocked a child on the head, which they scalped, yet it afterwards recovered." The tradition has come down in this family that both husband and wife were killed by Indians and their graves are still pointed out on Pickernell Hill. "They had been to the barn to milk their cows and the Indians shot them while passing between the barn and house." So Hon. Mark Dennett records the story in 1866, as he received it fifty years before from Ester and Hannah Pickernell, aged members of the family.
