• Notes

  Richard Nason had eight children, the oldest, also named Richard, was married by 1675. Their son, also named Richard, was eight years old. That year the Indian war known as King Philip's War broke out in Massachusetts and spread north into Maine like flames in dry grass. One Autumn evening there was a knocking on Richard Nason's door. The knock was answered by the eight year old Richard, who was followed into the entryway of the house by his father.
