John served in Capt. Wm. Turner's company of militia at the Falls Fight 5/19/1676. [2]
In Soldiers in King Philip's War by Bodge (1906) John Broughton Jr. is on a list "Received these men whose names follow from Captain Wadsworth and from Captain Reynolds.", page 246, paid 2.10.6 on payroll of "Soldiers Credited under Capt. William Turner 6/24/1676.", page 217, Paid 2/12/2 on "List of Soldiers Credited with Military Service at the garrison at Marlborough", dated 9/21/1675, page 362, Credited 2.12.2 on 11/30/1675 for service at same garrison.
The family removed from Northampton to Deerfield in 1684 and it is recorded that Elizabeth (Woodruff) Broughton died there 1690-1691. However, the death of the first Mary appears in the Northampton Register of Deaths and it would appear that the family had returned there by that time. Frequent Indian raids upon early settlements along the Connecticut Valley in northern Massachusetts caused numerous families to retreat from that frontier and about 1696, John Broughton Jr. removed with his family to Windham County, Conn., where the last five children were born and where he died Jan. 5, 1731. His will, dated Aug. 2, 1728 was probated there. Hannah Allis, born at Hatfield,[Hampshire], Mass. Oct. 9, 1673 was daughter of John and Mary (Meekins) Allis. Her Grandmother Allis was slain at the Hatfield Massacre Sept. 19, 1677 and her sister Abigail captured and carried off to Canada." [3]
