Albums: Brackett Lane Massacre: Among Our Ancestors

The Brackett Lane Massacre, also known as the Brackett Massacre or Brackett Raid, occurred on September 29, 1691, in what is now Rye, New Hampshire. A group of about forty Native Americans came down the coast from York, Maine, seeking revenge. Ten settlers were killed in the marsh while cutting hay, three were killed when their homes were burned, and seven were captured and taken to Canada. The victims were primarily from the Brackett and Rand families. Anthony Brackett and his wife Eleanor, original settlers who arrived at Sandy Beach (now Rye, New Hampshire) in 1630, and my 10th great grandparents, were killed along with several of their children and grandchildren. His home was also burned in the raid.
