    ...sometimes the farmer was shot down while at labor in the field, or while going or coming. This was the fate of John Shattuck and his son John, a young man about nineteen years of age, who were killed May 8, 1709.

    They were returning from the west side of the Nashua River where Mr. Shattuck owned land, and were attacked just as they were crossing the Stony Fordway, near the present site of Hollingsworth's paper-mills, where they were killed. At the time of his death Mr. Shattuck was one of the selectmen of the town. During the autumn of 1882 Messrs. Tileston and Hollingsworth, of Boston, the owners of the mills, caused a suitable stone to be placed by the wayside, bearing the following inscription:

    Near this spot / JOHN SHATTUCK / a selectman of Groton / and / his son John / were killed by the Indians / May 8, 1709, / while crossing Stony Fordway, / just below the present dam. / 1882.
