Of the May 12 1704 incident, Penhallow's account of this affair is as follows: "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" Upon the Northampton records, under the date May 13th, are the names of the slain, viz: "Capt. John Taylor, Samuel Jones, his wife and three children, Benoni Janes and two children, John Searle and three children, Moses Hutchinson and one child, and Patience Webb; all killed by the Indians at Paskhomuck." http://pages.prodigy.net/kathyb/Raid.htm
