About Sarah Ewell

“Sarah (Annable) Ewell was the heroine of the Indian Raid on Scituate in 1676, when, giving the alarm to the garrison at Stockbridge’s, she forgot her sleeping grandchild. Regardless of danger, she returned to her home to find the child unharmed, but her ‘precious baking of bread pulled from the oven.’ Later the Indians in their retreat burned the house to the ground.”42
