EARLY SETTLEMENT.


It is impossible to say just when the first settlements in this town were made. However it is pretty well established that there were several families here before the incorporation.


Among the earlier settlers were the following: Charles McCoy from Londonderry; William Blazo, a Frenchman; Andrew McClary, from Londonderry in Ireland, and a family by the name of Blake. Andrew MeClary had two sons, Andrew and John, both of whom settled in Epsom. Andrew became one of the leading spirits of the new town. He was particularly prominent in municipal affairs and in the military activities of the new town. It was he as Major, under the famous John Stark, who fell in the first battle with the Britsh about Boston at the outbreak of the Revolution in 1775, and his dust now


46


EPSOM


lies at Medford. Never was there a braver man and he was recognized as the handsomest man in the New Hampshire forces.


McCoy built a house on the north side of what is known as Sanborn's Hill, and thence extended his farm by spotting trees round upon the mountain which will probably always bear his name. His daughter was the first white child born in town, and the proprietors presented her with a tract of land. She became Mrs. Wood and lived to a ripe old age.


Samuel Blake was commonly known as Sergeant Blake. He came into town among the earliest settlers when but fifteen years old. He began a settlement near the John Chesley farm. He purchased more than one hundred acres of land near the center of the town for ten shillings and turned in his jack- knife for one shilling of that sum.


The story of these pioneers is one of interest. It arouses in our hearts feelings of both regret and admiration. A pre- vious writer has said that, great as were the deeds and abili- ties of the famous McClary family no proper memorial of their services nor marks of their honorable careers have been left behind. And at the time he wrote, (1885) no lineal male descendant was living in town to inherit the rich legacy of honor and integrity left by this noble race of patriots. The name of only one of the family appears in the printed histories of the town.


The McGaffeys, Knoxs, Dickeys, Wallaces and others were here at an early date and did their part heroically to redeem the town from the wilderness, wild animals and what was worse, at times, the ferocity and treachery of the red skins.

HISTORICAL


INCURSIONS OF THE INDIANS.


In the early days of the town the inhabitants were kept in a state of almost continual alarm by the incursions of the Indians. For a considerable time after this settlement was commenced only the men ventured to remain in the place dur- ing the summer season, and then they must keep their arms by them while they labored on their lands. During the win- ter there was much less danger from the Indians. Even long after the men had removed their families into the place, so feeble was their defense against the attacks of their savage neighbors, that, whenever any immediate danger was appre- hended, they either sent their families away or fled with them to the garrison at Nottingham. At length a house was erected by Captain Andrew McClary within the limits of the town, and near the present residence of Mr. Joseph Lawrence, which was made proof against the assaults of the Indians, being sur- rounded by a high, wooden wall, entered by a heavy, well- secured gate. Thither the inhabitants fled at night, whenever danger was apprehended.


"Captivity of Mrs. McCoy .- The Indians were first at- traeted to the new settlements in the town by discovering McCoy at Suncook (now Pembroke). This, as nearly as can be ascertained, was in the year 1747. Reports were spread of the depredations of the Indians in various places, and McCoy had heard that they had been seen lurking about the woods at Penacook, (now Concord). He went as far as Pembroke; ascertained that they were in the vicinity ; was somewhere dis- covered by them and followed home. They told his wife, whom they afterwards made a prisoner, that they looked through


48


EPSOM


cracks around the house and saw what they had for supper that night. They, however, did not discover themselves till the second day after. They probably wished to take a little time to learn the strength and preparation of the inhabitants. The next day Mrs. Coy, attended by their two dogs, went down to see if any of the other families had returned from the gar- rison. She found no one. On her return, as she was passing the block-house, which stood near the present site of the meet- ing house, the dogs, which had passed around it, came running back growling and very much excited. Their appearance induced her to make the best of her way home. The Indians afterwards told her that they then lay concealed there and saw the dogs when they came round.


"McCoy, being now strongly suspicious that the Indians were actually in town, determined to set off the next day with his family for the garrison at Nottingham. His family now con- sisted of himself, his wife and son John. The younger chil- dren were still at the garrison. They accordingly secured their house as well as they could and all set off next morning -- McCoy and his son with their guns, though without ammuni- tion, having fired away what they brought with them in hunting.


"As they were traveling a little distance east of the place where the meeting-house now stands, Mrs. McCoy fell a little in the rear of the others. This circumstance gave the Indians a favorable opportunity for separating her from her husband and son. The Indians-three men and a boy-lay in ambush near the foot of Marden's Hill, not far from the junction of the mountain road with the main road. Here they suffered


49


HISTORICAL


McCoy and his son to pass, but as his wife was passing them they reached from the bushes and took hold of her, charging her to make no noise, and covering her mouth with their hands, as she cried to her husband for assistance. Her hus- band, hearing her cries, turned, and was about to come to her relief, but he no sooner began to advance than the Indians, expecting probably that he would fire npon them, began to raise their pieces, which she pushed to one side and motioned to her friends to make their escape, knowing that their guns were not loaded, and that they would doubtless be killed if they approached. They accordingly ran into the woods and made their escape to the garrison. This took place August 21, 1747.


"The Indians then collected together what booty they could obtain, which consisted of an iron trammel, from Mr. George Wallace's. the apples of the only tree which bore in town, which was in the orchard later owned by Mr. David Griffin, and some other trifling articles, and prepared to set off with their prisoner for Canada.


"Before they took their departure they conveyed Mrs. McCoy to a place near the little Suncook River, where they left her in the care of the young Indian, while the three men, whose names were afterwards ascertained to be Plansawa. Sabatis and Christi, went away, and were for some time absent. During their absence Mrs. McCoy thought of attempting to make her escape. She saw opportunities when she thought she might dispatch the young Indian with the trammel, which, with other things, was left with them, and thus perhaps avoid some strange and barbarous death or a long and distressing cap-


50


EPSOM


tivity. But, on the other hand, she knew not at what distance the others were. If she attempted to kill her young keeper she might fail. If she effected her purpose in this she might be pursued and overtaken by a cruel and revengeful foe, and then some dreadful death would be her certain portion. On the whole, she thought best to endeavor to prepare her mind to bear what might be no more than a period of savage captivity. Soon, however, the Indians returned and put an end, for the present, to all thoughts of escape. From the direction in which they went and returned. and from their smutty appearance, she suspected what their business had been. She told them 'she guessed they had been burning her house." Plausawa, who could speak some broken English, informed her they had.


"They now commenced their long and tedious journey to Canada, in which the poor captive might well expect that great and complicated suffering would be her lot. She did, in- deed, find the journey fatiguing, and her fare scant and pre- carious. But, in her treatment from the Indians, she experi- enced a very agreeable disappointment. The kindness she received from them was far greater than she had expected from those who were so often distinguished for their cruelties. The apples they had gathered they saved for her, giving her one every day. In this way they lasted her as far on the way as Lake Champlain. They gave her the last as they were eross- ing the lake in their eanoes. This eireumstance gave to the tree on which the apples grew the name of 'Isabella's tree,' her name being Isabella. In many ways did they appear desir- ous of mitigating the distresses of their prisoner while on their tedious journey. When night came on, and they halted to


51


HISTORICAL


repose themselves in the dark wilderness, Plausawa, the head man, would make a little couch in the leaves a little way from theirs, cover her up with his own blanket, and there she was suffered to sleep undisturbed till morning. When they came to a river which must be forded one of them would carry her over on his back. Nothing like insult or indecency did they ever offer her during the whole time she was with them. They car- ried her to Canada and sold her as a servant to a French family, whence, at the close of that war, she returned home. But so comfortable was her condition there, and her husband being a man of rather a rough and violent temper, she declared she never should have thought of attempting the journey home were it not for the sake of her children.


"After the capture of Mrs. McCoy the Indians frequently visited the town, but never committed any very great depre- dations. The greatest damage they ever did to the property of the inhabitants was the spoiling of all the ox-teams in town. At the time referred to there were but four yoke of oxen in the place, viz .: McCoy's, Captain McClary's, George Wallace's and Lieutenant Blake's. It was a time of apprehension from the Indians, and the inhabitants had therefore all fled to the garrison at Nottingham. They left their oxen to graze about the woods, with a bell upon one of them. The Indians found them, shot one out of each yoke, took out their tongues, made a prize of the bell and left them.


"The ferocity and cruelty of the savages were doubtless very much averted by a friendly, conciliating course of con- duet in the inhabitants towards them. This was particularly the ease in the course pursued by Sergeant Blake. Being him-


52


EPSOM


self a eurious marksman and an expert hunter-traits of char- acter, in their view, of the highest order-he soon secured their respect; and, by a course of kind treatment, he secured their friendship to such a degree that, though they had oppor- tunities, they would not injure him even in time of war.


"The first he ever saw of them was a company of them making towards his house through the opening from the top of Sanborn's Hill. He fled to the woods and there lay con- cealed till they had made a thorough search about his house and the inclosures and had gone off. The next time his visitors came he was constrained to become more acquainted with them and to treat them with more attention. As he was busily engaged towards the close of the day in completing a yard for his cow, the declining sun suddenly threw several long, enor- mous shadows on the ground before him. He had no sooner turned to see the eause than he found himself in the company of a number of stately Indians. Seeing his perturbation, they patted him on the head and told him 'not to be afraid, for they would not hurt him.' They then went with him into his house, and their first business was to search all his bottles to see if he had any 'ocapec'-rum. They then told him they were very hungry, and wanted something to eat. He happened to have a quarter of a bear, which he gave them. They took it and threw it whole upon the fire, and very soon began to cut and eat from it half raw. While they were eating he employed himself in cutting pieces from it and broiling upon a stick for them, which pleased them very much. After their repast they wished for the privilege of lying by his fire through the night, which he granted. The next morning they proposed trying skill with


53


HISTORICAL


him in firing at a mark. To this he aeceded. But in this, finding themselves outdone, they were very much astonished and chagrined; nevertheless they highly commended him for his skill, patting him on the head and telling him,-'if he would go off with them they would make him their big captain.' They used often to call upon him, and his kindness to them they never forgot, even in time of war.


"Plausawa had a peculiar manner of doubling his lip and producing a very shrill, piercing whistle, which might be heard at a great distance. At a time when considerable dan- ger was apprehended from the Indians Blake went off into the woods alone, though considered hazardous, to look for his cow that was missing. As he was passing along by Sinclair's Brook, an unfrequented place, northerly from McCoy's Mountain, a very loud, sharp whistle, which he knew to be Plausawa's sud- denly passed through his head like the report of a pistol. The sudden alarm almost raised him from the ground, and, with a very light step, he soon reached home without his cow. In more peacable times Plausawa asked him if he did not remem- ber the time, and laughed very much to think how he ran at the fright, and told him the reason for his whistling. 'Young Indian,' said he, 'put up gun to shoot Englishman; me knock it down and whistle to start you off,'-so lasting is their friendship when treated well. At the close of the wars the Indians built several wigwams near the confluence of Wallace's Brook with the Great Suncook. On a little island in this river, near the place called 'Short Falls,' one of them lived for a considerable time. Plausawa and Sabatis were finally both


54

killed in time of peace by one of the whites, after a drunken quarrel, and buried near a certain brook in Boscawen."
