Nathaniel killed at Pomeroy’s Island Ford, July 16, 1698, when in pursiiit of a party of Indians who had captured two boys the day before at Hatfield. The pursuing party reached the location of the present town of Vernon, Vt., on horses and lay in wait upon the river hank. When the Indians appeared on the opposite side of the stream, the colonists opened fire upon them. The Indians and one of the boys jumped into the river and gained the shore. Believing that the savages were about to kill the lad, fire was again opened, the enemy seeking cover. The boy managed to join his companion in the canoe, and both succeeded in crossing the river in safety, but one of the Indians who attempted to intercept them was shot. Five or six of the colonists then embarked in the canoe in order to gain possession of the other one, which had lodged on Pomeroy Island, a little distance down the stream. The Indians concealed on the opposite bank, fired upon them when they approached, killing Nathaniel Pomeroy of Deerfield, who was the last soldier that fell in this war. The Indians were of the tribe Pocumtucks.
