Margaret's father, Aaron Stark, served under Captain Mason in the "war" with the Pequot Indians. A Pequot Indian village on Mystic Hill (near the present Groton, CT) was nearly annihilated in May 1637. Several hundred men, women, and children perished after their village was set fire in an early morning surprise attack. Many Pequots were sold as slaves, and Mohawk Indians killed Pequot Chief Sassacus after he fled to their village. Aaron later settled on Mystic Hill, where the Indian village had stood. He was a member of the Church of England, and meetings were held at his house. He died in 1685, at the age of 77 years.
