Thanks folies! All we know is that the war party was likely Mohawk. It was the first of many war parties that came to Easton. All were welcomed, and the only tention was that Samoset would have to hide in the wood with Arron Folger, as it was feared that as a native, he may be taken away with other natives. Samoset was the son of Wa-nack-wa-nack, a crew member of Daniel Folger's. He was adopted by Ruth and Daniel after an epidemic in around 1773, I believe, killed most of Nantucket's native population. I have met Quaker Onieda's in upstate New York, and wonder if their ancestors were converted by Samoset, as back then, Quakers did not marry outside their faith, and Samoset was old enough at the time of his adoption, that he had a strong native identity as well as a strong Quaker faith.
Anna's grandmother was a conductor on the Underground Railroad, and she also told us storries about that time in our history, and wrote several small books of the recolections of her Grandmother's storries, as well as her Grandmother's Grandmother's storries, which her Grandmother told her, the Easton Meeting's Native guests being one of them.
I often think of her, using thee and thou when she had a special point to make. She was in her nineties when she died, when I was in my early teens.
