On May 3, 1676, he was captured by a party of indians. He was later released after negotiations with Chief Wanosancet, Chief of the Pennacook Tribe. He also served as a soldier in King Philip's, the bloodiest indian war of the East Coast. In May of 1698, his house was burned by indians in Haverhill, Mass and he then moved to Woodstock, Ct. Haverhill was a frontier town for more than 70 years. Its early history is a long record of bloodshed and misery. The village consisted of about 30 houses and the men went armed to their work and to their church with bible and gun. The wife of Jonathan Eastman (grandson of this Philip and son of Philip) had her infant torn from heer arms and its brains dashed out against the floor of the attic where they were hiding. She was taken to Canada by the Indians and kept prisoner for some years, until finally found and redeemed by her husband. This was during Queen Ann's War.

In the spring fo 1728 there was a second division of lots and the Captain drew the 16th lot in what then called the "Mill Brooks Range". This was later named Rumford, and was renamed later as Concord, New Hampshire, the capital of the state. The Captain later petitioned the General Court of New Hampshire for assistance for defense against the indians. During the French and Indian War, he commanded a company of soldiers that included A young Robert Rogers who would later be commander of Rogers Rangers.
