Killed by Indians at the fight at Bloody Brook. His father and two of three brothers were also killed in that fight. The Battle of Bloody Brook was fought on September 18, 1675 between English colonial militia from the Massachusetts Bay Colony and a band of Indians led by the Nipmuc sachem Muttawmp. The Indians ambushed colonists escorting a train of wagons carrying the harvest from Deerfield to Hadley during King Philip's War. They killed at least 40 militia men and 17 teamsters out of a company that included 79 militia. https://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=aztextor&id=I42092 ID: I42092 Name: Samuel HINSDALE Given Name: Samuel Surname: HINSDALE Sex: M Birth: 5 MAR 1641 in Dedham, Norfolk, MA Death: 18 SEP 1675 in Deerfield, Franklin, MA Note: Resided 1663 in Medfield, Massachusetes.
