THE HONOR ROLL: Indian Wars

Alhough our ancesors undoubtably were involved in some of these conflicts, I have not found much evidence. This page will be updated when warranted. Those who died in the wars appear in red:

Pequot War (1636-1637)

No record of family members involved.

King Philip's War (1675-1676)

Philip was the name given to Metacomet, the sachem or chief of the Wampanoag tribe of Indians. As the Colonists made continual encroachments on Indian lands, he formed a confederation of tribes and led an uprising that burned several towns and killed many English settlers. Philip's death and the Indians' defeat opened New England to European colonization.

Nathaniel 1645-1676
Lieutenant in the Killingworth, Conn., train band
[05-0008] (John, John)
Although Nathaniel died during the war, it's not certain if he was one of the hundreds of settlers who was killed in an Indian raid, died in a military operation or of disease. There is no record of Guilford or Killingworth coming under attack by Indians during this conflict. Early genealogies that report he "died after a two-month stay in an Albany, N.Y., hospital" during the war but I've yet to find any evidence that this conflict spread to Upstate New York. More likely this is his grandson and namesake who died a century later in the French & Indian War, which was fought in this area.

Pontiac's War (1763-1765)

No record of family members involved.

Creek Wars (1780s and 1790s)

No record of family members involved.

Florida's Seminole Wars (1817-1819, 1835-1842, 1855-1858)

No record of family members involved.

Sioux Wars (1860s and 1870s)

No record of family members involved.

Washita War (1868-1869)

No record of family members involved.

Red River War (1874)
