Honored Mother - After my duty & my wifes presented to your selfe
these may inform you of our present health, of our present being when
other of our friends are by the barbarous heathen cut off from having a
being in this World. The Lord of late hath renewed his witnesses against
vs, & hath dealth very bitterly with vs in that we are deprived of
the Societie of our nearest friends by the breaking in of the adversarie
against us: On Friday last in the morning your own Son with your two
Sons in Law, Anthony & Thomas Bracket & their whole families
were Killed & taken by the Indians, we Know not how, tis certainly
known by us that Thomas is slain & his wife & children carried
away captive, & of Anthony & his familie we haue no tidings
& therefore think that they might be captivated the night before
because of the remoteness of their habitation from neighborhood. G
Corban & all his family G Lewis & his wife, James Ross & all
his family, G Durham, John Munjoy, & Daniel Wakely, Benjamin Hadwell
& all his family are lost, all slain by Sun an hour high in the
Morning & after. G Wallis his dwelling house & none besides his
is burnt, there are of men salin 11, of women & children 23 killed
& taken; we that are aliue are forced upon Mr. Andrewes his Island
to Secure our own & the lines of our families. we haue but little
prouision & are so few in number that we are not able to bury the
dead til more strength come to us, the desire of the people to your
Selfe is that you would be pleased to Speak to Mr. Munjoy & Deacon
Philips that they would entreat the Governour that forthwith aid might
be Sent to us either to fight the enemie out of our borders that our
English Corm may be inned in wherby we may comfortably liue or remoue vs
out of danger that we may prouide for our Selues elswhere, hauing no
more at present but desiring your prayers to God for his preservation of
vs in these times of danger, I rest Your dutifull Son from Casco-bay
14.6.76. Thaddeus Clark. remember my Loue to my sister & |
