    Oyster River Massacre    		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.
