During the French and Indian War he served as a corporal in Captain Jewett's company, Colonel Bullard's regiment. He was in the attack on Diamond Island in Lake George on September 24, 1777.
Note: this was mistakenly referred to as Drummond's Island in the Shattuck Memorial book.
While with a party in a boat he was severely wounded in his left leg. Several shot holes were made
in the boat by the firing of the enemy. In order to save it from sinking he ignored his wounds and, stripped off his clothes which he used to stop the leaks, and thus saved the lives of the crew.
He was taken prisoner. After remaining four days in the open air, and, not receiving any medical treatment, his leg was amputated four inches above his knee. In November he was moved to St. Johns. In January 1778, to he was moved Montreal, and in May to Quebec, where he remained three weeks
in the hospital.
He was then put on board the old prison ship Maria, and carried to Halifax. He remained on board this ship and in the garrison at Halifax about eighteen weeks. On October 8, 1778 he was, with 700 other prisoners, swapped for British prisoners. They were sent to Boston crowded together in a small ship, and suffered very severely from filth and disease. About one hundred died before their arrival. He entered a hospital in Boston, where he remained until January 1779. He return to his home in Pepperell to the surprise of the community who had received a report that he was dead |
