    'John Fitch, Jr., was "slaine" by the Indians in Pierce's Fight at Rehoboth 26 Mar 1676.'

    From online accounts of Pierce's Fight (part of King Philip's War), it occurred somewhere between Rehoboth (from which the company marched) and Cumberland, R.I. (which they were attempting to reach when they were ambushed).
