" Hearing that the savages might burn his home and kill his family,
he moved them to Taunton, a village about seven miles distant,
where they remained for some time. One day, taking his dog with
him, he went to his home to get some article, a cheese hoop the

branches completely hid him and the Indians passed without seeing
him, but his dog began to bark and the Indians came back, found
him and shot him in the tree." Edward was one of the original pur-

Babbitts are supposed to be his descendants. He left nine children
