" The war was over and there had been horrors enough ui Dart- mouth, but those quartered at "Russell's Garrison" had been com- paratively safe even in the anxieties of a siege, for in a way they had been besieged. The Indians across " 'Ponagansett" River on the Earle homestead-lands had entrenched themselves in a sort of "dug out" fort on "Heathen-Neck, " ro-called for the "Heathen Rednien. " Here, during the War, a tall Indian emerged from this shelter and made outrageously insulting gestures,... which he is said to have learned from the Englishmen, thinking himself well out of gun range, but he was shot for his impudence. This old-time legend becomes a fact on finding among the listed pos- sessions of one Abraham Sherman, of Dartmouth in 1773, nearly a century later "A gun which killed an Indian across 'Ponagansett River from ye olde castle on Russell's land to Heathen Neck. " John Sherman who did the shooting according to family tra- dition passed this gun on to his son who in turn gave it to his son John.
