It is greatly to be regretted that authentic lists of the names of the men who served in this expedition were not entered upon the official records of the several colonies therein engaged, so that those desirous now to learn who these were might be gratified. In the cases [120] of the companies of Captains Moseley and Johnson, duly attested rolls were placed on the official records, copies of which are herein presented. What is given concerning the names of the soldiers of other companies has been gleaned from various sources and many different authorities.
FIRST PLYMOUTH COLONY COMPANY
Commissioned Officers - William Bradford, of Plymouth, Captain. [Robert Barker of Duxbury, the lieutenant, as shown on page 116, ran away and had no partipitation (sic) in the battle.]
Private Soldiers - The History of Rehoboth by Leonard Bliss, page 117, says, "The names of the Rehoboth soldiers who served in Philip's war have been preserved, and are as follows:" Those engaged in the Narraganset expedition were, John Fitch, Jonathan Wilmarth, Jasiel Perry, Thomas Kendrick, Jonathan Sabin, John Carpenter, John Redeway, John Martin, John Hall, John Miller, Jun., John Ide, Joseph Doggett, Sampson Mason, Jun. "Those who served under Major Bradford were, Preserved Abell, Samuell Perry, Stephen Paine, Jun., Samuel Miller, Silas T. Alin, Samuel Palmer, James Redeway, Enoch Hunt, Samuel Walker, Nicholas Ide, Noah Mason, Samuel Sabin, Thomas Read, Israel Read, George Robinson, Nathaniel Wilmarth."
NOTE - It is not safe to conclude that all Rehoboth soldiers who served in the Narraganset expedition were in the Plymouth Colony Battalion, though they probably were; but that those reported as serving under Major Bradford were in that battalion admits of no reasonable doubt - and those, too, were probably in the first company. I have learned of two other soldiers who were of the Plymouth Colony forces in the Narraganset expedition, viz., William Hoskins, of Taunton, and Isaac Peirce, of Duxbury. The writer of this book is a lineal descendant of both Hoskins and Peirce, and in searching for information concerning his ancestry he found incontestable proof that these men were soldiers in the Narraganset expedition of King Philip's war. [121] William Hoskins, of Taunton, made a will March 26, 1730, in which he gave away lands that, as he therein stated, were granted to him for his services in the "Narraganset War." Henry Hoskins, a son of William, was born in Taunton Oct. 12. 1686, and married Abigail Godfrey. They had a daughter Mary Hoskins, born Oct. 8, 1711, who, Dec. 13, 1728, became the wife of Ebenezer Peirce of Middleborough, that part now Lakeville. Ebenezer Peirce and wife Mary were gr. grandparents to the writer of this book. That Ebenezer Peirce was grandson of the Narraganset soldier, Isaac Peirce.
