Author Description

Excerpt from The Yarmouth Register, 1904 The hostility of Weare towards the Indians was never abated. He swore to kill one for every drop of blood they drew from the veins of his brother-in-law. Philip Greely, ancestor of the Greely family of this town, and of Portland, was killed Aug 9, 1746 at the lower Falls near the house of the late Mr. Daniel True, when a company of thirty-two Indians had secreted themselves intending to surprise Weare's garrison when the men should have goneto work. They were discovered by Mr. Greely's dog, else they had probably suffered him to pass unmolested. Though Mr. Greely lost his life, this probably saved the garrison.
