Samuel Reed, orphaned as a child in England, was taken in by kindly folks, served his apprentice as a carpenter and departed for the Puritan world of Massachusetts. Concord, Massachusetts found him working to construct a meeting house. When completed he joined a trading expedition to the frontier (Lancaster) and helped found the new town of Groton.

Leaving his small farm to journey to Concord to help complete the meeting house, he meets and marries the Minister’s indentured servant girl, Rebecca.

Samuel and Rebecca Reed, their two children, living in a place called Groton, on the early frontier of Massachusetts would survive fourteen months of brutal warfare. Sam fought valiantly with the Groton militia at the battle of Lancaster, aided the defenders of Quabog, and helped defend Groton against an overwhelming force of four hundred Nipmucs.

They would have their small farm burned to the ground when a force of four hundred Nipmuc Indians attacked the town of Groton. After the war, Sam and Rebecca, along with the other settlers, would return to rebuild their farms and successfully raise a family. A place called Groton would survive.

Keep the musket in hand and close for these are harsh, dangerous times.
