EARLE, John & Mary (Webb)
by Cliff McCarthy, 2016
Last Updated 2 November 2017

“At daybreak on March 14, 1676, a war party of some 500 Nonotucks, Nipmucs and Narragansetts moved in on Northampton. The assault was well planned, with three points of attack: one on the easterly side of Round Hill, a second on today’s King Street, and a third at the lower end of what is now Pleasant Street. It was at this latter point that the palisade was breached. Four men and a 12-year-old girl were killed and six men wounded. The dead included Robert Bartlett, one of the first settlers of Northampton. Four houses outside the palisade, and one inside, were burned. Once the attackers were inside the palisade, however, they found themselves in a bottle-neck and about 20 were killed.”

So wrote Northampton historian and author Allison Lockwood in her Finding Paradise: Northampton, Massachusetts, 1654-1861 about the attack on Northampton during King Philip’s War.

However, the 12-year-old girl mentioned above is mis-identified. Mary Earle died in the Indian attack, but it was the mother of the 12-year-old girl, also named Mary Earle, who was killed that day. The 12-year-old Mary Earle survived the attack and later married Nathaniel Hubbard of Middletown, Connecticut.
