[302] In the old family burial ground on the east side of Wicketquack
Cove, half way between Stonington, Conn., and Westerly, RI.
[303] Was a soldier in King Philip's War, which broke out when
desperate Indians, seeing their lands being settled by the
whites, made war to reclaim them. It was a bloody affair:
though the Europeans won, it was said that one out of every
sixteen white males of military age was killed.
Canonchet, chief sachem of all the Narragansets, was an
active ally of Philip's in his war. While camped on the banks
of the Pawcatuck, the Indians were attacked by a force of
English and Indians. Canonchet's warriors fled. Left alone, he
too sought safety in flight. The Indian allies of the English
and a few of the fleetest-footed whites pursued him. As he ran
he threw off his blanket, then his silver-laced coat and belt
of peag. Seeing these, his pursuers knew whom they followed,
and increased their efforts. In crossing the river ford he fell
and lost his gun. This so discouraged him that he surrendered
to those who first overtook him.
Being questioned by the young man who first came up to him,
and who was not yet 22 years old (this was Robert Stanton), the
warrior looked with lofty contempt upon his youthful enemy and
answered: "You are a child - you cannot understand matters of
war; let your brother (Captain John) or your chief come; him
will I answer." Canonchet was taken prisoner to Stonington and
shot.
