Cocheco Massacre (1)
The Cocheco Massacre, also known as the Raid on Dover, was a tragic event that took place in Dover, New Hampshire, on June 27, 1689, during King William's War. This raid was orchestrated by Chief Kancamagus of the Pennacook tribe as an act of retribution against Major Richard Waldron.
Dover, established in 1623, had witnessed over fifty years of peaceful coexistence between English settlers and the local Penacook tribe. However, this harmony deteriorated due to perceived betrayals and encroachments on tribal lands by the settlers. On the fateful day of the massacre, Indian women discreetly unlocked the gates, allowing several hundred Pennacooks to infiltrate the area in the early morning hours. They stormed Major Waldron's garrison, overpowering and mortally wounding him with a slash across his chest. The attack resulted in the death of 23 people and the capture of 29, accounting for approximately a quarter of Dover's population at the time. Notably, some of our ancestors were among those affected by this tragic event.
The Cocheco Massacre signified a major escalation in the conflict between the settlers and the Pennacook tribe, leading to additional clashes that persisted for the next six decades.
Ancestors Killed in Native American Raids (1)
This collection focuses on a particularly challenging chapter of my family's past, dating back to the 1600s and early 1700s in colonial America, a time marked by conflict and cultural clashes.
The era we are delving into was characterized by profound misunderstandings and tensions between the European settlers and the Native American tribes, each defending their way of life in an ever-changing landscape.
The Native American tribes, with their rich and diverse cultures, had been living on this land for thousands of years. Their connection to the land was deep-rooted, and their societies were complex and varied. The arrival of European settlers brought unprecedented changes, often leading to conflicts, as both groups sought to protect their communities and resources.
In this context, my ancestors, like many others, faced challenges and hardships. Some of them tragically lost their lives in raids conducted by Native American tribes. These events were undoubtedly painful and significant for my family's history. In presenting the list of my ancestors and their stories, I hope to provide a respectful tribute to their lives, acknowledging the tragedy they faced while also recognizing the broader historical context that led to these events.
Oyster River Massacre (2)
The Oyster River Massacre, also known as the Raid on Oyster River, was a harrowing event that occurred on July 18, 1694, in present-day Durham, New Hampshire, amidst the turmoil of King William's War. This brutal attack was carried out by approximately 250 Abenaki Indians, led by the French soldier Claude-Sébastien de Villieu.
The English settlements situated on both sides of the Oyster River were the targets of this devastating raid. The Abenaki, under de Villieu's command, inflicted severe losses, resulting in the death or capture of around 100 settlers. Additionally, the raid saw the destruction of five garrison houses along with numerous other homes in the area. Tragically, many of our ancestors were among those who lost their lives or were taken captive during this assault.
This massacre was a significant episode in the wider conflict between English settlers and Native Americans, a situation further complicated by French involvement. It stands as one of the most catastrophic raids in New Hampshire's history during King William's War, leaving a lasting impact on the region and its inhabitants.
