ancestral home of my fathers family, was
once more on historical ground. A few rods
from the house is the site of one of the FIVE
forts or Garrison houses butlded between
Boston and Newport, at the time of King
Philips war, 1876. 1t was commanded by Capt.
John Woodcock. In the month of May, while
his son Nathaniel and others were planting
corn near the fort, the Indians crept up and
fired into the party, killing the son. The sur
vivors fed, whereupon the Indians cut on the
head of young Woodcock, and stuck it up
on pole on the hill where our house stands.
Woodcock buried his eon where he fell, which
is the site of the old cemetery. After this
tragic event, Woodcock became an Indian
hunter and pursued them with implacable
hatred. Many savages fell beneath his nm
erring aim. At his death, many years after,
seven bullet holes we're found in his body.
He was foremost in every enterprise which
had in view the destruction Of the Indians.
