1634

John Stone is Killed by Western Niantic, in Retaliation for Atrocities he Committed Against Native Americans

This event has not been added to any topics.

In [1634], John Stone was murdered by the Pequots on the Connecticut River. It may be that he was thought to be a Dutchman, and one of the murderers of Tatobem. Stone was known to the Bay Colony authorities as a privateer and rogue and may have provoked the Indians who claim to have acted in self-defense, but he soon became another statistic in the Colony's list of Pequot "crimes."
