About Sgt. John Keyser

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Philip%27s_War

John was a native of Lynn, whence he went with his father to Salem, and removed from that town to Haverhill, Massachusetts, in 1674. He followed the occupation of his father, and was given a parcel of land to encourage the establishment of the business in Haverhill. In 1683 a complaint was made by the good and cautious men of Haverhill against John Kezar for keeping his tan vats open, by which a few cattle and swine had been destroyed. He was a soldier in King Philip's war in 1676, and was admitted a freeman in 1677.
