.....John Nutting, the common ancestor of the different families in Groton bearing his name, was an original proprietor of the town, and owned a seventeen-acre right. His land lay on the northerly side of James's Brook, and his house, which was one of the earliest garrisons, stood near the present site of Liberty Hall. It was from this garrison house that the Indian chief, on the night of March 13, 1676, "did very familiarly in appearance, call out to Captain Parker that was lodged in another Garrison house," situated near where Captain Asa S. Lawrence now lives.
