Part Two of Gazetteer:

WHEELWRIGHT’S POND - is in the N. part of Lee and forms the source 
of Oyster river.  This pond is memorable for the battle which was fought 
near it in 1690, between a scouting party of Indians and two companies of 
rangers under Capts. Floyd and Wiswall, the engagement lasted 2 hours.  
Wiswall, his lieutenant, sergeant, and 12 men were killed and several were 
wounded.  Floyd continued the fight, till his men, wearied and sounded, 
drew off and forced him to follow.  The enemy also retreated, without 
carrying off the wounded or our party.
