    ""The French and Indians, in August, 1703, attacked all the settlements from Wells to Casco; and, in the destruction of the latter, the Wallis families were severe sufferers. The wives of Josiah and Benjamin Wallis were killed, and Joseph Wallis's wife was carried into captivity. Josiah Wallis himself made his escape to Black Point; carrying his son John, who was then about seven years old, part of the way on his back."
