Gwillim-Moore Genealogy says, "In the afternoon on April 10, 1676, he was in the field carting manure, with his son Samuel, who was between five and six years old. Looking toward his house, he was surprised to see feathers flying around. He heard screams, so he hastened home with his gun, and there found his wife Hannah, and his son Thomas, twin brother of Samuel murdered. Searching further, he found his week old baby murdered too. The nurse, apparently, picked up the baby and ran toward a garrison house in the vicinity. She was so closely pursued that she dropped the baby, and the Indians killed it at once. Samuel gathered up some of the neighbors, and they went in pursuit of the Indians. Seeing three sitting on a rock, they fired and killed one and drove the others away." The baby was Hannah, less than a month old.

Samuel's first wife, Martha, died in childbirth. The daughter, Martha, survived the Indian raid but died at almost four years old.
