Daniel Hudson (b. 1625) was slain, along with his wife, Joanna, along with two daughters and two grandchildren in the Lancaster, MA Raid of 1697. One-third of the Town of Lancaster was wiped out in that raid and many people taken captive, including Daniel's two daughters, Joanna and Elizbeth, ages 37 and 40. They were never heard from again. The townspeople made a valiant effort to defend their homes during the raid, but many of them were killed, including the above Hudson family. For more information about this raid by the Indians and several other raids in Lancaster, please see Early Records of Lancaster, MA.

There are 2 birth dates listed for Daniel. 1617 or 1631.
Daniel was by occupation a Mason. He helped build the 1st school house in Cambridge, Mass. in 1647. Daniel was a soldier in the King Philip War of 1675/76.
On September 11, 1697 tragedy struck at noontime in the frontier town of Lancaster, Mass. A surprise attack by Indians killed, captured and wounded about 28 settlers and the destroying of many of the homes in this isolated village before the Indians retreated. Prior, the settlers were asked to come to the nearest fort for protection from possible Indian raids. Most settlers had built their homes and some had faith that their homes would withstand an Indian attack. (A costly error in judgement.) These lives should be remembered or a tribute to those who were killed should not be lost with time. 20 killed/2 wounded/6 captured...totally 28 lives effected by this Indian raid.
The Nipmuc Indians were the major participants in the siege of Lancaster, Mass. Later many of the Indian survivors responsible for the Indian raids in 1675 and 1697 were hunted down, murdered or sold into slavery in the West Indies or forced to leave the area per the Wikipedia Encyclopedia. By the Massachusetts Enfranchisement Act of 1869 effectively "detribalized" the Nipmuc and the last of the remaining Indian plantation lands were sold. But the Nipmuc communities continue to survive and the tribe received State recognition in 1979.
Among those massacred were:
**Daniel Hudson (age 80)
**wife Joanna Hudson (nee: White) (age 64)
**daughter Joanna Hudson (age 37 - killed in captivity)
**daughter Elizabeth Hudson (age 40 - killed in captivity)
**2 grandchildren (Seth & Nathaniel who were sons of Nathaniel and Rebecca) suffered death in captivity.
