The birth of his son Peter was recorded at Warwick.
1676, Jan. 14. Ile was brought in captive to Providence as related in a letter of same date written by Roger Williams to Governor Leveret of Massachusetts: " This night I was trenested by Captain Feuner and other officers of our town, to take the examination and confession of an Ergl'shaun who i bath been with the Indians before and since the right : his name is Joshua Tite, and he was taken by Captain Fenner this day at an Indian house, halt a mile from where Captada Fenner's house (nou burned) dil stand." He was asked how long he had been with the Narragansetts, and answered twenty-seren days more or less. In answer to the question how he came among-i them, he said se | was at his farm a mile and a half from Puttuckquamscot where he lived an Indian to keep his callie. himself proposing to go to Rhode Island, but the day be prepared to go a party of Junians came and told him he must die. He berged for his lite and promise the would be servant is the Schema for life, and his life was given him as auch slave. He was carried to the fort where were eight hundred . fghting men. His eight cattle were killed. He said he was in the fort and waited on its master the ! Sachem till he was wounded, of which wound the Suchem nied nine days afters and.
1676, Jan. IN. He was executed, his answers obviously not being suisfactory to the examiners, but it, may still be doubted whether much that is related of him by the ohl chromekrs is more than table. i It was asserted by these that he was of Providence, which was not the fact, though he was captured ! there, and that he turned Indian and married a squaw, renounerd his religion and nation. and fought against the whites, Probably the closing sentence of one of these narrators way cor-idered excellent religion by sonic of his readers. " As to his religion he was found as ignorant as a heathen, which no doubt caused the fewer tears to be shed at his funeral."
