A mile from the garrison a party of Indians had formed an ambush near a large rock at the side of the road.When the party approached they were fired upon. Maj FROST and DOWNING were killed, and Phebe (Littlefield) Heard was mortally wounded. John tried to put her on a horse, but she begged him to leave her and save the children at home. The rest of the party escaped. The site of this attack is now known as "AMBUSH ROCK". Its located near Eliot, Maine. For more information see the Our Folk - Hart family Web Site
