Daniel Goble (as well as Thomas, his brother) and Stephen
(Thomas' son) were involved in the First Indian War - also
called King Philip's War. The war was an armed conflict
between Native American inhabitants of present-day New England
and English colonists and their Native American allies. |
|
Indian brothers Metacomet and Wamsutta co-led the peaceful
Wampanoag Indians and were renamed King Philip and Alexander by
the English. Tensions between the colonists and Indians
started small but soon turned to all-out war. By 1675 the
Concord Council degreed that if any Indians were found more than
a mile from the center of their villages, except in the company
of English, the colonists were at liberty shoot them or arrest
them. |
|
In a year's time, twelve of the region's towns were destroyed
and great losses were experienced by both the English and the
Indians. King Philip was killed on 12 Aug 1676
bringing about the end of the war. The war saw the loss of
600 Colonist and 3000 Indian lives. |
|
Daniel Goble, Stephen Goble, Daniel Hoare and Nathaniel Wilde
were tried tried for the murders of three Indian women and three
Indian children on 07 Aug 1676 - five days before the end of
King Philip's war. Colonists feared these killings could
push them back into war with the local Indians. All four
men were found guilty of the charges. |
|
Daniel Hoare and Nathaniel Wilde were from wealthy families and
after petitioning the court for pardons, they were granted. |
|
Daniel Goble pleaded not guilty to the charge, but he and
Stephen were farmers from less affluent families and both men
were hanged on 26 Sep 1676. |
|
|
Hanna Brewer Goble, remarried Ephriam Roper on 20 Nov
1677. Ephriam had lost his first wife, young daughter and
brother during an Indian attach on 22 Aug 1675 in Lancaster,
Winchester County, Massachusetts. |
|
There was was a second Indian uprising and massacre on 28 Jul
1692. On 11 Sep 1697 there was a third Indian massacre in
Lancaster, Massachusetts. Hannah Brewer Goble Roper, her
14-year-old daughter, Elizabeth Roper, and husband, Ephriam
Roper, were killed. |
