HISTORY OF HILLSBOROUGH.
In the month of June, 1757, four Indians entered the house of Thomas Clough of Canterbury, and after securing some meal fled to the woods, where they secreted themselves for the return of the family absent at the time. In the adjacent field, however, Moses Jackman, a son of Richard Jackman of Contoocook, then a boy of eleven, was at work in company with a negro named Dor- set. Discovering the Indians Dorset caught the boy in his arms and started to flee, but he soon lost his hold on him, and in the excitement the couple separated, Moses going toward the barn while the negro ran for the woods. The former stumbled and fell, when he was caught by the Indians, but managed to break away. However, he was seized the second time, and struggled in vain to escape. Meanwhile Dorset was overtaken, and in his desperate resistance he was beaten severely about the head. He yelled at the top of his voice, as much to warn the people in the vicinity of the garrison as from pain, so that he was heard for half a mile. Through this warning those who heard his cries sought protection at the garrison, at the house of Capt. Jeremiah Clough. Though the men went to the rescue of the captives they were too late to render them assistance, and the two were taken by the savages up the usual trail of the red men to Canada. Moses was barefooted, and on this account as well as his youth, one of the Indians carried him much of the way on his shoulders. The boy captive was also furnished with a pair of moccasins before going very far. So rapid was the flight, as it might be termed, of the Indians that by nightfall they had reached Smith River in Hill, where they camped that night.
The rest of the march was made as swiftly until the captors had reached Montreal with their captives, towards whom they had shown considerable friendliness. Busy with the sale of their furs, the Indians placed the captives in confinement for two weeks, at the end of which time they were separated and sold to the French. Moses never saw nor heard from Dorset after that day, while he was taken as a slave by a Frenchman, but he was in reality a prisoner for four years, or until the close of the war in 1761. Then he was found by Enos Bishop, who had been sent in quest of him, and escorted home where he was greeted as one from the dead by his relatives and friends. During his long
329

captivity Moses Jackman was treated with kindness by his masters, and he improved the opportunity to obtain a good smat- tering of the French language.
Moses Jackman was one of sixteen men who, at the news of the Battle of Lexington, immediately started to the front on the 2Ist of April.
