- "The [Second] Siege of Pemaquid occurred during King William's War when French and Native forces from New France attacked the English settlement at Pemaquid (present-day Bristol, Maine), a community on the border with Acadia."
- The Second Siege of Pemaquid (14-15 Aug 1696) was led by Jean Vincent Abbadie de Saint-Castin, Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville, and Simon Pierre Denys de Bonaventure against the English Fort William Henry at Pemaquid Maine.
- "Captain Pasco Chubb, surrendered the fort. Iberville killed three of the soldiers and sent the other 92 back to Boston."
- "D'Iberville and Bonaventure and the natives continued on to the English colony of Newfoundland and raided many villages in the Avalon Peninsula Campaign. Major Church retaliated for the siege by going to Acadia and engaging in the Raid on Chignecto. Chubb was tracked down by the natives two years later in his home in Andover and was massacred along with his family."
- "Bonaventure commanded the Profound; Iberville, the Envieux."
