Notes for Ebenezer Dibble:
"He was in the Pequot War and was killed in the Swamp fight. Both New Haven and Windsor arranged for the care of the widow and small children. His inventory of estate and bond were filed Feb. 11, 1676 in Windsor and with this the ages of the children are given." - Dibble Genealogy presented by Edna Hannibal Wagener member of El Palo Alto Chapter, NSDAR; extracted from: "Your Ancestor, A National Magazine of Genealogy and Family History" - contributed by Van Buren Lamb, Jr; [Arthur Connelly points out that the "Pequot War" occurred in 1636, five years before Ebenezers birth. Other documentation, (see below) clarifies Ebenezers death as being during King Phillilp's War, at the Great Swamp Fight.]

" ..he was killed in the Great Swamp Fight by the Narragansett Indians during King Philip's War, dying 19 Dec 1675, 34 years. The battle in which Ebenezer was killed was especially bloody. Forces from Plymouth and Massachusetts were present with the Connecticut Volunteers.
Ebenezer died insolvent, with debts exceeding his estate. The inventory of his estate is preserved at the Connecticut State Library at Hartford; it mentions widow Mary, and gives the names and ages of their seven children. The inventory was taken 11 Feb. 1676. The following letter from a Mr. Jones to Governor Lute is indicative of the plight of Ebenezer's widow:
' Sir, I pray be pleased what you can to favor and further the bearer, the Widow Dibble, that her husband's estate may be settled. He was killed at the Swamp Fight, died in debt more than his estate. 'Twere a work of mercy to consider the poor widow and fatherless children'"

"Dear Dibble Researchers,
Here is a bit I found on King Philip's War-
The colonists' growing desire for more land, coupled with mutual cultural misunderstandings on both the colonists and the Indians, set the stage for numerous wars of varying degrees of ferocity and length. One such war was King Philip's War in 1676. King Philip's father was one of the first Indians to befriend the Pilgrims who arrived in America on the "Mayflower" in 1629. Philip maintained fairly good relations with the colonists until the
unauthorized acts (which were apparently in violation of treaty agreements) of some of the young men of his tribe forced Philip into a war with the colonists. Based on questionable evidence and fear, the commissioners of the United Colonies became convinced that the Naragansett Indians were deeply
involved with King Philip and his tribe' conceived "plans" against the colonists. The colonists decided to attact the Narragansett at their headquarters in a preemptive strike. Despite the bitter New England winter, the colonists decided to attack the Narragansett before they dispearsed from their winter quarters and scattered to diffrent parts of the country in the springs.
Stiles' book about the history of Windsor gives an account of the "Swamp Fight" in which Ebenezer Dibble died. The book I got the above info from, as well as my primary research notes, is packed away while I am remodeling, so I cannot give further info. Hope this is what some of you were looking for. If anyone wants the brief account of the Swamp Fight, let me know and I will provide it.

Sincerely
Rea Ann (Dibble) Trotter "

"Dear George, At last, I can contribute. I guess teaching history for 22 years is good for something, King Phillip was named by the colonists. His name was Metacomet. He was Massasoit's son. Massasoit and Squanto were the Indians who met the pilgrims at Plymouth. Phillip led a confederation of Native American nations: Wampanoags, Narragansetts, Nipmucks, Pequots, and Mohegans. The settlers had tried and hung 3 Natives in Plymouth. 1675, Phillip led the war. The Great Swamp fight, the Indains had taken refuge in a dense swamp. Guided by Indian scouts more and 1000 militia men were led through the swamp and marshed and came upon a great walled fort where there were 3000 Native Americans waiting. The battle was one of the most bitter fights that ever took place on American soil. There were very heavy casualties on both sides. Many settlers and many Native women and children were killed also. The Great Swamp fight did not end the war, Phillip was eventually hunted down and killed. Sincerely, Jackie Hunt "

From Peter Dibble, via e-mail 7/22/99:
"Hi! George,
Took me a while to locate my book on the State of Massachusetts. This is taken from page 40 of the book Gezetteer of Massachusetts by The Rev.Elias Nason,M.A. Boston: Published by B.B. Russell, 55 Cornhill-1877

The year 1675 is memorable for the breaking-out of King Philip's War,during which the united colonies lost as maney as 600 men,and had as many as 600 dwelling-houses reduced to ashes.Philip, an able warrior ,whose Indian name was Metacomet,ruled the Wampanougs,and resided at Mount Hope,near Bristol,In Rhode Island. Observing the encroachments of the English on the hunting-grounds,and instigated by the execution of threeof his tribe for the murder of John Sassamon, he artfully secured the aid of other tribes,and commenced hostilities by an attack, June 24, on the people of Swansey while returning from church,durn which eight or nine of them were slain. In September,seventy young men,the flower of Essex County,were massacred and buried in one grave at Bloody Brook,in Deerfield;and Northfield and Hadley were attacked.In an encounter with the Narragansetts in a swamp in Kingston,R.I.,in December, Gov.Winslow with an army of 1,800 troops, killed and wounded about 1,000 Indians, burned 600 wigwams and thus seriously weakened Philip's power,who nevertheless continued during the winter his savage work,burning the towns of Lancaster, Medfield, Marlborough, Groton, Sudbury, and murdering or carring many of the people merciless captivity. But tribe after tribe deserting Philip, he returned to Mount Hope; and, his wife and son being soon after captured,he said,"Now my heart breaks: I am ready to die." On the 12th day of August, 1676,Capt Benjamin Church with a small body of men came upon him. An Indian of the party shot him through the heart; and thus fell the last king of the Wampanoags,and with him the power of the Indians of New England."
