"In the month of October, 1675, an attempt was made by the Indians to destroy their garrison house, they with two of their relatives being in the house at the time collecting their goods to carry for better security to Black Point. The Indians failing to capture the garrison, retired into the woods, after burning the empty houses of Andrew's sons-in-law. But in the attack they had accomplished more than they were aware of, for Andrew was shot dead, and Arthur mortally wounded. The latter died at the house of William Sheldon, in Marblehead, on the 14th day of the month. Andrew's family fled to Boston where his widow [sic, apparently it was Arthur's widow] married Samuel Walker soon after."
