"Sept. 16, 1696. The Indians came along from up Green River to the town,
and assaulted Mr. Daniel BeldenJs house; took Mr. Belden, his son Nathaniel and

From Mather 's Magnalia:
"The Indians making an haault upon Deerfield, in this Present War, they
struck a Hatchet some Inches into the Skull of a Boy there, even so deep that
the Boy felt the force of a Wrench used by 'em to get it out. There he lay a
long while Weltering in his Blood; they found him, they Dressld him; considerable
Quantitiea of his Brain came out from time to time when they opened the
Wound; yet the Lad recovered, and is now a Living Monument of the Power -
and Goodness of God."
