      27 April 1706: The Indians came in upon the south part of Oyster river, by the little bay, and killed two persons, the chief whereof were brother John Wheeler, and his wife, John Drew, &c. It is thought this was done by Bomazeen. 29 August 1708: A considerable party of French and Indians came upon Haverhill about break of day, and did much damage: killed and carried away 33 persons; burnt several houses. The chief of those slain were Capt. S. Wainwright, Mr. Benja. Rolfe, the minister, and his wife, Capt. Samuel Ayers and Lt. Johnson, deacons of the church, and the wife of John Hartshorn, senior. Many soldiers belonging to Salem were here slain. The enemy also met with considerable loss, and were repulsed by Maj. Turner.

      In the spring of 1706, dressed in Indian buckskins, Bernard-Anselme led 270 Abenaki against Oyster River, and that July he traveled on the warpath with them through the Piscataqua.

      Hostilities were resumed in the spring of 1706. In April the Indians attacked the house of John Drew, at Oyster River. Eight persons were killed and two wounded here. In June, (Joseph) Dudley was warned from Albany that another war-party would soon be upon him. Dudley's advices made this war-party, said to be mission Indians from St. Francis, two hundred and seventy strong. Piscataqua was its supposed destination. Indeed, the emergency was such that in July Massachusetts had one thousand men under pay for the defence of her frontier. This time the enemy had shrewdly chosen the most remote settlements on the Merrimac as the point of attack. The blow fell first upon Dustable (3 July 1706, o.s. where John John Cummings was captured and his wife shot dead). From here the savages went to Daniel Galusha's, about two miles distant, on Salmon Brook, where they quickly despatched Rachel Galusha. On the same day the Indians forced the garrison of Nathaniel Blanchard, killed him, his wife, and also a Mrs. Hannah Blanchard. They then scattered themselves through the contiguous towns as far as Wilmington, Mass., where, on the night of July 8th, one party forced an entrance into the house of John Harnden, while he was absent, killed his wife and three children, and carried off five more. On the next day some forty of the marauders fell upon Amesbury, where eight of the inhabitants were killed. Still another band, who had marked Major (Winthrop) Hilton for their special prey, lay in wait for him around his garrison at Exeter. One morning ten men came out of the house with their scythes, and went away into the fields to mow. After they had laid aside their guns to begin mowing, the crawling savages suddenly rose up and rushed in between them and their fire-arms, killed four, wounded one, and captured three more. The two others made their escape. Two of the prisoners, Hall and Miles, afterward came in, in a deplorable state, having lived for three weeks on roots and the inner rind of trees.
