bullet  General Notes

The Rices has been warned about the Indians, but did not consider the situation to be too serious, so they stayed at Marlboro, Massachusetts.  Then one Sunday morning while they were at church, they heard the dreaded war whoops.  The people fled to the nearest garrison, and watched as one building after another (including their church) went up in flames.  After this attack, most of the inhabitants of Marlboro fled to the comparative safety of Sudbury, Watertown, or Concord.  The family of Thomas Rice went to Watertown.  They later made their home in Sudbury and lived there.  (Our Colonial Lines, p. 61)
