  • "Samuel served as a king's councilor and as treasurer and chief justice of the province. He is best remembered, however, as the author of "The History of the Wars of New England With the Eastern Indians," published in 1726, the year of his death. His special interest in the subject may derive from the fact that his widowed mother-in-law, Ursula Cutt, was killed in an attack by Abenaki at her farm just a few miles upriver from Portsmouth in 1694."
