Note
The following quotes are from unknown sources:

"May 13, an express came from Northampton, advising, that about break of day, a company of French and Indians fell on a fortified house at Pascomuck where no watch being kept, the people were alarmed in their beds by the noise of the enemy's rushing into the house; and before the inhabitants could rise, the Indians had got their guns into the port-holes and shot those that first appeared, killing some and wounding others. The surprised people made what resistance they could, firing briskly on the enemy; but the house being soon set on fire, they were forced to yield themselves prisoners. Fearing a pursuit, the enemy sent back a messenger with word, that if they were pursued they would kill all the captives. They were, however, pursued; three made an escape, eight were rescued, nineteen slain and three carried to Canada".

"Pascomok Fort taken by ye French and Indians being about 72. They took and Captivated ye whole garrison being about 37 persons. The English pursueing of them caused them nock all ye Captives on the head Save 5 or 6. Three they carried to Canada with them, the other Escap'd and about 7 of those Knock'd on head Recover'd ye Rest died. Capt. John Taylor was Killed in ye fight and Samuel Bartlett wounded."
