Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Atchison-27

John Atchison is listed as an early settler of Hadley, from which Hatfield was formed about 1665. Hadley commenced settlement in 1659. [1] Family history believes that he was most likely of Scottish heritage, and was an indentured servant for 6-8 years after arriving in the colonies.[2] It is worthy to note that John is not listed as a freeman or as a voter in records, and no land ownership can be found.[3] "The Indian raid in Hatfield, Hampshire, MA, took place on Sept. 19, 1677 in the meadows and at a house building site. Those killed were "Sgt Isaac Graves his brother John Graves, John Atchisson [sic. Atchison, my ancestor]; John Copper of Springfield, aged 18; Elizabeth, wife of Phillip Russell and her son Stephen, aged 3 years; Hannah, wife of John Coleman, and her babe Bethiah; Sarah, wife of Samuel Kellogg, and her babe Joseph; Mary, Wife of Samuel Belding, Elizabeth Wells aged 2 years, daughter of John Wells; in all 12." Seventeen were taken captive and four were wounded. The captives were later returned from Canada about 8 months later. [4]
