    • He was killed by the Indians while standing in his doorway, Feb. 21, 1676, the second year of the war. His wife was accidentally shot the same day, at Rev. Mr. Wilson's house, and died 29th of Feb. She was confined to the house by sickness, and was in a bed in the chamber, when the gun in the hands of Capt. John Jacob of Hingham, who had charge of a company of about 80 men stationed at Medfield, was accidentally discharged in the room below her, the ball passing through her bed.
