"A Sergeant named Fulham, and an Indian distinguished by his dress and activity, singled out each the other, and both fell, mutually slain by their antagonist's weapon"

When Francis was about fourteen years old he was sent to America by his brothers, (his father being dead), to be educated at Harvard College. The man with whom he was entrusted kept the money (100L Sterling) sent to pay the expense of his education. Other accounts say that the amount was 500L; but either way it was a substantial sum and indicates the family was well-to-do.
