Rochester was one of the fron- tier towns till Canada came into the possession of the English, in 1760. The inhabitants suffered much through Indian and Cana- dian cruelties for many years, of- ten being obliged, for the protec- tion of their lives, to live in garri- son houses, and with this precau- tion, they also kepta vigilant watch night and day. The frequent at- tacks of the Indians and their allies, caused the men to be bold and adventurous, and their sons, early trained to the use of arms, soon caught the brave spirit of

their fathers, and they quickly be- came a terror to their enemies, and the settlers did not suffer near as much as many towns, that were far less exposed.
In June, 1746, Joseph Heard, John Wentworth, Joseph Rich- ards, and Gershom Downs, were killed, and John Richards wound- ed and captured. A boy by the name of Jonathan Door was also ta- ken captive and carried to Canada. One Sunday morning in May, 1748, the wife of Jonathan Hodgdon was killed by the Indians for not willing- ly consenting to accompany them to Canada. Her husband married again, and was the father of twen- ty-one children in all. He died in 1815, aged ninety years.

The deeds of Cap- tain John Brewer and David Place, Colonel John McDuffee and others will live in the memory of the people of Rochester for many years to come.
