-----
On 27 Aug 1708, Haverhill, then a compact village of about thirty houses, was attacked and almost entirely destroyed by Algonquin, St. Francois and Penobscot Indians under the direction of the French forces from Canada. Sixteen of the inhabitants were massacred, including Rev. Benjamin Rolfe and family, many made captives, and when the enemy retreated they were followed by Captain Samuel Ayer with a company of twenty men who, though out-numbered thirteen to one, attacked them fearlessly, killing nine of their number and retaking several prisoners. The Captain was shot in the groin and died just as his son reached the scene with reinforcements. [The date of the attack conflicts with the much later date given for Captain Ayer's death.]
