    1. Brackett Massacre Burial Ground
    2. Joyce -- Thanks for the prompt response. I am very interested in any available information on the massacre, including a list of the individuals killed in that massacre. Anthony Brackett (the immigrant) was my 7th great-grandfather. According to the rather sketchy information which I currently have, there were sixteen members of Goodman Brackett's and Goodman Rand's families either killed or carried away in an Indian attack in September of 1691. Is there much information on the massacre in the description you mentioned in the book on the history of Rye? My Mother and I were in New England in March, and were able to make an all too brief visit to the burial ground as we were traveling through New Hampshire. Unfortunately, we did not get a chance to do any research in the area while we were there. FYI, other family surnames I am researching in New England in that same time period include Drake, Libby and Merrill. Thanks again -- Vickie in Texas
