From SOLDIERS IN KING PHILLIP'S WAR by George Madison Bodge First issued in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 1883-91, v. 37-45 excerpt from page 58 Capt. Henchman marched down towards Boston from Hadley the last of June, and his letter, written on the way, describes the homeward march. Capt. Henchman's Letter of June 30th, 1676. "Our scouts brought intelligence that all the Indians were in a continual motion, some toward Narhaganset, others towards Watchuset, shifting gradually, and taking up each others quarters, and lay not above a night in a place. ...These... inform, that Philip and the Narhagansets were gone several Days before to their own Places. Philip's purpose being to do what Mischief he could to the English. By advice I drew a commanded party under the conduct of Capt. Sill, viz. Sixteen files of English, all my Troop, and the Indians, excepting one File, being all we could make provision for; for what with the falling short of the Bread promised us, and a great deal of what we had proving mouldy, the Rest of the Forces had but one bisket a Man, to bring them to this Place. This Parly were ordered towards Watchuset. and so to Nashaway and Washttkom Ponds, where we have notice Indians were and so to return to this Place. Where by your Honour's Letter that came to me Yesterday Morning, I understood that Provision was ordered for us; and which we found to onr great Relief last Night, coming hither, Weary and Hungry.... Daniel Henchman. On June 24 there seems to have been a general settlement with all soldiers for service up to this summer campaign. Some were paid in cash by the treasurer, but mostly they were paid in part by the towns where they lived. The following lists probably contain most of the names of those who marched out and served in this campaign, with Capt. Henchman: June 24, 1676. Magnus White. Joseph Lyon. July 24, 1676. John Chub.
