Among the teamsters killed at Bloody Brook. The teamsters were hauling grain to storage, under the protection of Captain Thomas Lothrop and his soldiers. Most who died at Bloody Brook were second-generation New Englanders. Robert, however, was born in England. In November of 1674, on the eve of King Philip's war, the Deerfield settlement was expanding. Three men were appointed to measure land for proprietors: "Robert Hinsdell," Joshua Carter, and "Jno Allen." All three perished together less than a year later. The deaths at Bloody Brook caused enormous public and private suffering, but the Hinsdales lost perhaps the most: their home, their village, and four men. 1.

The court held he had "broken the Perfect rule of divine law, Malachi ii, 16, Matthew xix, 6 & *1 Peter iii, 7, and the law of the Colony in the intent if not in letter in the first living assunder, "and ordered him "whipped 10 stripes on the naked body," and imposed a fine for which his sons became responsible, and which the court refused to remit after his tragic death; she m.
