.......20th of July, 1710. Six men, viz: Ebenezer Hayward, John White, Stephen and Benjamin Jennings, John Grosvenor and Joseph Kellogg, were making hay in the meadows, when the Indians, who had been watching an opportunity to surprize them, sprung suddenly upon them, dispatched five of them, and took the other, (John White,) prisoner - White, spying a small company of our people at some distance, jumped from the Indian that held him and ran to join his friends; but the Indian fired after him, and wounded him in the thigh, by which he fell; but soon recovering and running again. He was again fired at and received his death wound.” (History of Brookfield, by Rev. doct. Fiske, Pastor of the third church in that town.)

 

“The six men who in 1710, were killed in the meadows between this place and the south Parish, were buried in the Old Burying Ground, (which is situated about 80 rods southwest of the Meeting House.) The six graves are still discernable in the line next west of Mr. Cornelius White’s.” (Historical Discourse of Rev. Joseph I. Foote, Pastor of the first church of Brookfield, November 27, 1827.)

His [Mr. Jennings] daughter “Captivity,” after she grew up to womanhood, became herself a captivator; inasmuch as she captivated Abijah Bartlett, of Brookfield, to whom she was married:- but, as if her fate was mysteriously linked with savage barbarity, he likewise was slain by the Indians, in October, 1708.
