The company was "sent into thee Woods" by Col. Samuel Willard. The soldiers were probably seeking Indians (Mass. Aarchives: Muster Rolls, vol. 92, p. 125). An agreement of his heirs was signed 20 Aug. 1762. The heirs included his widow. She sold land to her son Elisha 23 Feb. 1779. She was probably living in Stow in 1790 when the U.S. Census was taken.
