    During the attack upon Medfield, Jonathan Wood was killed on the east side of the river, near Death's Bridge, and his brother Eleazar who was with him was struck down, scalped and left for dead, though he afterward recovered. When the tragic news was brought to the Stone House the wife of Jonathan Wood was immediately seized with the pains of labor and soon after delivered of a daughter, her only child, and a few hours later died. This doubly-orphaned daughter, born under such peculiar circumstances, afterward became the wife of John Holbrook, who was an infant of between two and three years old, and in the same place of safety at the time."
