Notes for THOMAS SAVERY:
New Engand Historical & Genealogical Register, vol. 41, Oct. 1887, p. 374:
The next mention of the name is that of Thomas Savory in April, 1634, as one of that ill-advised expedition organized by Howland, then one of the Governor's Assistants to dislodge the alleged intruder Hocking from his trading position on the Kennebec River, which he held, it was said, in defiance of the chartered rights of Plymouth Colony. Hocking refusing to depart when summoned, Savory was ordered, with John Frish and William Rennoles, to "cut his cables", and succeeded in cutting one, "but were drifted away from the other by the strength of the streme." Mr. Howland, seeing they could not reach it, "called him abord and bid Moses Talbot goe with them, who went very reddily and brought the canow to Hocking's cable." But Hocking then came on deck with a "carbine and a pistole in his hand and p'sently p'sented his peece at Thomas Savory; but the canow with the tide was put nere the bow of the barque, weh Mr. Howland seeing called to him desiering him not to shut his man but to take himselfe for his mark," saying "his men did that which he commanded them." Hocking, however, fired and shot Talbot, and himself immediately killed by a shot from Howland's "barke." Bradford in his journals calls this affair one of the saddest things which befell them since they came. Governor Winthrop deplores it as "much conemned by all men," and which "brought us all and the gospel under a common reproach of cutting one another's throats for beaver." John Alden, the puritan magistrate was present, and was arrested and put under bonds for his apparance to answer for his complicity in it when required. And investigation by the proper authorities in England disclosed that Hocking was really a trespasser and therefore the assault on him was technically justified, though none the less injudicious and reprehensible."
