His surname also appears in the records as "Parris" and the following account of the massacre of his family is recorded in "History of the old township of Dunstable: including Nashua, Nashville ...

By Charles James Fox"

"In 1703 war was renewed between France and England... It was probably soon after the commencement of this war that the garrison of Robert Parris was surprised, and himself and family massacred.— He lived in the southerly part of Nashua, on the Main road, on the farm which adjoined that of Rev. Mr. Weld on the north. He was a large landed proprietor, and had been selectman and representative of the town. "The Indians in one of their predatory excursions attacked his house, and killed him, his wife, and oldest daughter.— Two small girls who composed the rest of his family, ran down cellar, and crawled under an empty hogshead. The savages plundered the house, struck with their tomahawks upon the hogshead, but neglected to examine it, and departed leaving the house nnburned, probably fearing that the flames would alarm the neighbors. The orphan girls were sent to Charlestown. Mass., and there brought up. One of them married a Richardson, and the other a Goffe, father of the celebrated Col. Goffe, whose posterity are numerous in this vicinity."
