In the genealogy written by William Othniel Taylor in the late 1800s, he writes that the battle in which our ggggrandfather, Captain John Taylor, was killed is described in the "History of the Connecticut Valley". I believe there is someone on this mailing list who has that book. The Indians and French attacked PASCOMMUCH (near Deerfield) on May 15, 1704. John Taylor was killed and another man wounded. Many were taken prisoner. This skirmish took place AFTER the desolation of Deerfield in February. If it is not too long, perhaps someone could copy the description of that battle for me. Thanks.
