The battle is described as follows: "Philip was the name the English gave their foremost adversary, Metacomet, the Wampanoag sachem at Pokanaket (now Bristol, Rhode Island) ... More than a decade of mounting tension finally climaxed in 1675, when a Christian Indian who had accused Philip of conspiracy was murdered. By June, Plymouth had declared war on Philip and fighting began in the troublesome Swansea area. Wetamo (a Wampanoag aly of Philip's) fled with her people to the west among the the Narragansets. In July 1675, the English managed to get four powerless Narragansetts to promise that the Wampanoag refugees would be handed over. The legitimate leaders stalled; although eager to maintain neutrality, they knew from past experience that refugees could expect harsh treatment from the colonists. After the conquest of the Pequots in 1637, the Narragansetts had seen the several hundred Pequot survivors of a horrifying slaughter driven from their lands and consigned to slavery in the colonies ... For five months the English pressed the Narragansetts to return the Wampanoag refugees, all the while confirming the Narragansetts' worst fears by selling several hundred Algonquins to slave traders heading for Spain and the Azores and retaining another hundred as domestic slaves. In December, 1675, using the Narragansetts' protection of the Wampanoags as a pretext to conquer land they had long coveted, the United Colonies of Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay, and Connecticut joined in a massive attack on the Narragansetts' major swamplands stronghold, killing from three hundred to six hundred men, women, and children." Isaac received �2:14 for his service on 29 Feb 1676 (29th on the payment list of Captain Gardner's men) and "Iseck Welman" is 10th on the list of "ye names of Capt. Gardiner's Souldiers for this p'sent Expedition - Lyn". He must have served in other engagements as he was paid a further �2:05 by Linn-Towne on 24 Aug 1676.
