    Richard; m. Jan. 15, 1673, Mary Whipple who d. Jan. 27, 1674. During King Philip's war he was active as lieutenant in the company of Capt. Brocklebank who was slain in battle at Sudbury April 21, 1676. On April 22 the Council ordered Jacob to take command of his own company and that of Capt. Wadsworth who had also fallen. He wrote to the Council that same day: "About 500 of the enemy came in sight on Indian Hill and one, as their accustomed manner is after a fight, began to signify to us how many were slain. They cohooped seventy-four times, which we hoped was only to affright us, seeing we have had no intelligence of any such thing, yet we have reason to fear the worst."
