"One year later [after father Thomas, and brothers Thomas and Zachariah, killed by Indians 21 Feb 1675/76] the eldest son, John, was killed in the 'Indian war at the east.' He was twenty years of age."
[Note: "Indian war at the east" has been seen to mean the battle involving Capt. Benjamin Swett at Black's Point, ME, 29 Jun 1677. The men serving that day are unknown.]
