The Cochecho Massacre
"In one bloody afternoon, a quarter of the colonists in what is now downtown Dover, NH were gone -- 23 killed, and 29 captured in a revenge attack by native warriors. In one afternoon, 50 years of peaceful co-existence between the Penacook tribe & European colonists ended. The massacre of 1689 entered the history books along with similar accounts throughout the Seacoast. With three-quarters of the native population afflicted by white diseases, dead or driven out of their ancestral homeland, the next half century brought the final gasps of protest against the unending "white tide" of settlers."

In this Abenaki Indian massacre in 1689 in Dover, New Hampshire, many of the Otis family were killed.  One of his granddaughters, in the 4th generation, Mary Otis, was also taken in that Indian attack and sold to the French. How she returned to marry Ebenezer Varney is still a mystery. The Otis family began to follow the Society of Friends (Quakers) during the 1700's, and their descendants followed them in this faith. - - -
