     At about 11 o'clock on the morning of 19 Sep 1677, while most of the men were at work in the meadows cutting corn, Hatfield was attacked by indians. They came through Middle Lane and fell upon houses lying outside the stockade. They torched the buildings of Samuel Kellogg at the corner of the lane and his wife, Sarah, and her infant son were killed and another child, Samuel, 3 yrs., was seized and bound. Surprised by the suddenness of the attack, Obadiah Dickinson and one child were captured unresisting at the house below. His wife was wounded and left for dead and the house set on fire. John Allis's barn was burned and his six-year-old daughter, Abigail, captured. With no attempt to enter the open gate of the stockade the invaders rushed across the street to the houses on the east side, whose occupants were seeking places of safety. The indians sped northward and killed the wife of Selectman Samuel Belden, who lived on the Silas Porter place. John Coleman's house was burned and his wife, Hannah, and infant child, Bethiah, were slain, one child wounded and two were captured, of whom little Sarah was only 4. John Wells' daughter, Elizabeth, age 2, was killed, his wife, Sarah, and one child wounded. Hannah Jennings, wife of Stephen Jennings, was made prisoner with her two children by her former husband, Samuel Gillett, who was killed at an earlier fight. Philip Russell's wife, Elizabeth and their 3-year-old son, Stephen, were killed. Across the street, on the J.D. Brown place, stood the home of Samuel Foote, who had moved from his first allotment. His wife, Mary, with a young son, Nathaniel, and a 3-year-old daughter, Mary, were seized and dragged along. On the next lot above men were at work building a house for John Graves, Jr., who was soon to marry Sarah White. Hastening northward to finish their work of destruction, with an attack on the family of their hated foe, Benjamin Waite, they shot from the frame of the structure being erected the brothers, John and Isaac Graves, and 2 young carpenters from Springfield, John Atchisson and John Cooper. Waite's house was at the very end of the village street. The indians burned his house and barn and took away his whole family,--wife, Martha, and three children, Mary, Martha, and Sarah, aged 6, 4 and 2.
