"Robert Huckins of the Dover Connection and Some of his Descendants" by Henry Winthrop Hardon, 1916, pg 3: "LIEUT JAMES2 HUCKINS (Robert1), husbandman, miller, was born probably at Oyster River, Dover, doubtless as early as 1644, for in 1664 he was taxed (Register, vol 4, 249). He married, probably about 1671 (ib, vol 7, p 121), SARAH2 BURNHAM, daughter of Robert1 and Frances (NH Deeds, vol 107, pp357,359); NH Gen Record vol 5, p 190). She was born at Oyster River about 1654, for she deposed 31 Dec 1673, 'about 19 years of age' (NH Court Papers, 1672-3, p 395). She married secondly, 17 Oct 1700, Capt John2 Woodman (Lieut Edward1) of Oyster River, who had been received as an inhabitant in 1657 (Quint's Dover, p 33; Hoyt's Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, p 366) and became successively commissioner, 1658, representative, 1684, delegate 1690, and Jude of Common Pleas, 1702-5 (Register, vol 9 p 145). She is not mentioned in his will of 20 Dec 1705 (NH State Papers, vol 31, p 545) and was probably then dead. In 1676 Lieut James Huckins was constable (Quint's Dover p 14), and in 1687 he was one of the two selectmen of Oyster River Parish (ib p 3). He had a garrison house which stood in the outskirts of the Oyster River settlement, a few rods south of the house owned in 1910 by Andrew E Meserve, east of the railroad and on the north side of the second road crossed by the railroad as it runs from Durham station to Dover. In Aug 1869 the Indians ambushed and slew him and seventeen men belonging to the garrison while they were at work in the field which belonged in 1910 to the widow of Jospeh W Coe, and lay southeast of the garrison beyond Huckins Brook. There they were all buried under a mound which in 1910 still existed in the southeast corner of the field. The Indians then attacked the garrison house, which was defended by two boys only and some women and children. They managed to set fire to the roof of the garrison, but the boys - 'brave boys, truly' says Mather - held out till the Indians promised to spare the lives of all. Yet they killed three or four of the children and carried away the rest of the inmates, except one of the boys, doubtless Robert2 Huckins, who escaped the next day (Mather's Magnalia App Art vi; Belknap's Hisatory of New Hampshire (vol 1, p 205; Register, vol 7 p 156; NH Gen Records,vol 3 p 80). The garrison house was destroyed (Thompson's Landmarks, p 173, note 2). Lieut Huckin's widow was recovered at Fort Androscoggin after a year of captivity. Children, born at Oyster River (Register, vol 7, p 121): 1) ROBERT3 born probably 12 Dec 1672, although the record, if correctly transcribed says 'Sarah'. 2) SARAH, b. 12 Dec 1674; d s.p.(?) 14 Oct 1705 (NH Gen Record, vol 3 p 145); m. JAMES3 CHELSEY, son of Philip2 (Philip1) and Sarah of Oyster River, b. at Oyster River 1672(?), d. 15 Sept 1707. 3) JAMES, b. 16 July 1675; d. s.p. bef 1699. Probably others, none of whom survived the massacre of 1689."

Notes for Sarah Burnham
"New England Marriages Prior to 1700" by Clarence Almon Torrey, 1985, pg 838: "WOODMAN, John (?1630-1707+) & 2/wf Sarah (Burnham) Huckins (1654-), w James; 17 Oct 1700; Salisbury."

Children of James1 Huckins and Sarah Burnham were as follows:
+ 2 i Robert2 Huckins, born 12 Dec 1672 in Durham, Strafford Co, NH. He married Welthen (Thomas) Huckins.
3 ii Sarah2 Huckins, born 12 Dec 1674 in Durham, Strafford Co, NH; died 14 Oct 1705.
4 iii James2 Huckins, born 16 Jul 1675 in Durham, Strafford Co, NH.





Maj Church was the hero and veteran of King Philip's war from Connecticut. The Mass, Plymouth & Connecticut Bay Colonies fielded a combined force under "Col Church" in 1791 and and went up through the coastal areas of NH & Maine to the Kittery, Me area where they laid seige to an indian village and effected the release of widow Huckins. She returned to Oyster River, married again (John Woodman) and lived out her life. She did not have any more children. She was captive about two years.

LANDMARKS: Huckin’s Brook

NAMES: HUCKINS, Robert; HUCKINS, James; EMERSON, Capt. Samuel;
EMERSON, Ebenezer T.; TASKET, John; DAVIS, Capt. James;

      Huckins’ Brook. This brook rises in Madbury, above the town-house, passes
through the old Tasker lands--whence this part of it is often called the Tasker or Tasket
brook,¹---crosses the highway below the Miles house, and, after being fed by the
Pendexter springs farther down, comes into Durham, where it flows through the old
Huckins land, east of the spot where stood the Huckins garrison, destroyed by the Indians
in 1689. It is joined by the "Tom-Hall brook" a little below the place where the Huckins
massacre occurred, and empties into Beard’s creek.
      Huckins’ Mill was built on this stream at an early day. It is mentioned Jan. 10,
1697-8. Among the Dover grants is recorded, Jan. 23, 1701, "libbertie of a Remoue of
ten Acres of land granted Robbart Huckins in 1664 at the head of his twenty acre lott on
the west side of back riuer, to be laid out adjoining to his home land at oyster Riuer, on
the west side of the brooke that driues his mill." This removal of Robert Huckins’ grant
seems to have been made in favor of his grandson Robert, son of James Huckins who was
killed by the Indians in 1689. One fourth of this mill was sold by John Huckins to Capt.
Samuel Emerson, Oct. 24, 1727, for £. 30. The receipt for this sum, still extant, declares,
-- "the said mill standeth on the stream called Huckin’s brook." The entire mill and the
Huckins lands were finally acquired by Capt. Emerson and his sons. The mill is now gone,
but the remains of the dam are still to be seen on that part of the brook which flows
through the land of Mr. Ebenezer T. Emerson.

¹The name of Tasker seems to have been thus corrupted at a very early period. Or Tasket
may have been the original name. At any rate, it is written Tasket in the Dover rate-list of
1675, and in the court records of 1686. (See Farmer’s Belknap, page 169, footnote.)
John Tasket’s name is on the muster-roll of Capt James Davis’s scouting party in 1712.
and the name is frequently so called to this day in Madbury.
