• Notes

  HATFIELD History THAT portion of Hadley lying on the west side of the Connecticut River was the first of Hadley's offspring to obtain an independent existence by incorporation, in 1670. The situation of Hatfield made it easy of attack by Indians and, as a fact, it was a great sufferer from them. Its first experience was in King Philip's War when, on October 19, 1675, an army of nearly 800 Indians made a descent upon that settlement from Deerfield, where they killed and destroyed to such an extent, that they thought to continue their success at Hatfield. Several small companies of settlers, which were out scouting, had been cut off from the settlement by the attacking Indians. The Indians then hurried to the village and attacked it from several directions, but they were met by Captain Poole and Captain Mosely who, with their companies, were in the village. Captain Poole defended one end of the village and Captain Mosely held the center and then, just in time to turn the fight for the settlers, Captain Appleton arrived from Hadley with his company and defended the other end of the village. But the Indians were not repulsed with ease. The fight was terrific while it lasted, for the Indians were full of confidence from their recent victory at Deerfield and so fought with unusual courage. When they realized that the day had gone against them, they fled with such haste that many of them lost their arms, and their ammunition was ruined by the water while they were fording or swimming" Mill River, across which they were driven by the victorious settlers. They succeeded in setting fire to several buildings before they were driven from the village, and in driving off some cattle and sheep. As it was just before dark when they were put to flight the settlers did not pursue them. The next attack was made by 700 Indians, on May 30, 1676. This time they were more successful. While one party was attacking the fortified houses of the settlement, another burned a dozen or more houses and barns and a third drove off nearly, if not all of the cattle. The loss of life and property would have been much greater, had it not been for the fine courage of twenty-five young men of Hadley who crossed the river and, fighting with a savagery that awed the Indians, broke through them and entered the village in time to render much needed assistance. Thus, a second time Hadley had saved its first offspring from destruction. In the same year Hatfield men took part in the Turners Falls Fight and Hatfield's first minister, the Rev. Hope Atherton, was the chaplain in that famous fight. He became separated from the soldiers after the fight and soon was lost in the forest. After wandering about till nearly worn out, he started to give himself up to the Indians, but they regarding him as a great medicine-man retreated before him and would not let him approach them. They knew enough about the settlements to know from his clerical dress that he was the " medicine-man " of the settlers, and the fact that he was seeking them no doubt filled them with fear, as they would naturally regard such action as being due to his power to destroy, or in some way injure them, with his " bad medicine ". The poor gentleman wandered about for a number of days, exhausted by fatigue and hunger. At last he came upon the river and followed its course south to Hatfield. The people of the settlement were occupied on September 19, 1677, with a house-raising, when they were suddenly set upon by a band of fifty Indians who captured or killed about twenty of the settlers, two of the captives being Mrs. Benjamin Wait and Mrs. Stephen Jennings., (this account does not mention the captu Later in the year, a party set out for Canada to ransom the captives and after eight months absence they returned with nineteen of them.
