"Old Mr. Robert Huckins, many of whose family had been slain in the massacre of 1689, was killed at this time. The Jones garrison was burned before 1732. Below Jones' garrison were those of Bunker, Smith, and Davis, all of which were successfully defended. Lieut. James Davis sent his family away by water and with the help of his brother, Serg. Joseph Davis, defended his garrison, extinguishing the fire applied to it. Sergt. Davis was fired upon by three Indians. He stooped and a bullet split a sappling just above his head. He shot an Indian, whose bones were found in a swamp soon after. The Meader garrison was abandoned and was burned. The family escaped by boat. Near by a man named Clark was shot and another man name Gellison, while he was going from one house to another for powder. A brother of the latter jumped into a well for safety and was unable to get out. He died next day soon after having been rescued from his hiding place. Three Indians were sent to attack the house of William Tasker, at the foot of Moharimet's Hill in what is now Madbury. An Indian looked into a small window and inquired if it was not time for them to get up. Mr. Tasker replied with a shot from his gun which mortally wounded the Indian, who with bitter screeches was carried off by the other two. The family immediately fled through the woods to the Woodman garrison. Probate Records inform us of another family broken up at this time, not mentioned in any of the traditional accounts. It was that of John Derry, who lived near William Tasker, in Madbury." p.100  "William Tasker made a deposition, 7 June 1696, aged about 40. He was rated in Dover in 1675. He signed the petition to have Oyster River made a township in 1695. He lived at the foot of Moharimet's hill, within the present bounds of Madbury, on the farm now owned by Major John Demeritt. He married Mary, daughter of the first Charles Adams, who gave to her this land in Madbury, which he had as a grant from Dover. Widow Mary Tasker's estate was administered by Henry Nock, appointed 2 Feb. 1699/1700, "who married with Sarah Adams sister to Mary Tasker." The following curious paper appears among probate records: To Sertifie Avoir Ressev de Mr Henry Not trante chelein pout le Tretement de Mse Talquet fait a pisquatoq le 16 Octbre 1700," which may be translated thus, "To certify to having received of Mr. Henry Nock thirty shillings for the treatment of Miss Tasker. Done at Pascataqua the 16th of October 1700." Signed Leblanc. In old records the name is often written Tascet and Tasket. William Tasker died about 1697 and his wife in 1699." p.353-354.
