(Hudson, Alfred S., pg.258-9)

1689 and the "Ten Years War" Zachariah Maynard’s name is included in a Town Records list as being among those persons who agreed to take public stock of ammunition into their hands and respond “in case resistance of the enemy”. (Hudson, Alfred S., pg. 269.) See Research Notes

According to author Hudson the town of Sudbury, granted as early as 1638, to Messrs. Pendleton, Noyse, Brown & Company, was incorporated 1639 and was an offshoot of Marlborough. ^[8]

Sudbury Town location and nearby settlements beginning on the north side rotating clockwise (north, east, south west):

(n)Action, (ne)Concord, (ne)Lincoln, (w)Weston & (w)Wayland, (se)Cochituate, (s)Framingham (and nearby Natick), (sw)Southborough, (w)Marlborough, (nw)Stow and (nw)Maynard.

1689 and the Ten Years War: War broke out between England and France known as King William’s or the “Ten Years War” and it “menaced the frontier towns of New England”. The French, sanctioned by the governor general of Canada, “sought alliance with the Indians”. During these years Sudbury was less exposed that it had been during King Philip’s War but was exposed to “large drafts on her (already) weak resources”. “About 1689 hostilities broke out among the settlements of New Hampshire and Maine and the county of Middlesex was called upon to send its troops and munitions of war to the ravaged districts between the Penobscot and Merrimac.” (Hudson, Alfred, S., pg. 269.)
