Nearly eighty brave youth, "the flower of Essex County," perished. John was a member of Capt. Lathrop's Company, and, upon Sept. 18, they were sent to convoy teams bringing loads of grain from Deerfield to Hadley. A strong ambuscade was made at a place known since that fatal day as Bloody Brook, by about one thousand of the enemy. The Indians encompassed Capt. Lathrop and his men.- about eighty including teamsters, and sixty to seventy were slain. Reinforcements came up from Deerfield under Capt. Moseley and Major Treat, and the Indians finally fled.
