Joseph Kellogg was taken prisoner by the Indians at Deerfield in 1704 at the age of I2 years and sent to Canada. While there he learned the peltry trade, and upon his return asked for the establishment of a trading post on the Connecticut River. Fort Dummer was selected for that purpose and he became both Captain and Truckmaster there in 1728. A truck house was built outside the fort and an extensive trading post established for traffic with the Northern Indians. Captain Dwight returned to Northampton and became judge of probate and land surveyor. In 1730 Rev. Ebenezer Hinsdale became chaplain. He was the son of I-ieut. Mahumen Hinsdale, the first born child at Deerfield. His wife Abagail was the daughter of Rev. john Vfilliarns of Deerfield. In October 1737 a friendly conference was held at Fort Dummer between the Caghnawagah Indians and Commissioners appointed by Massachusetts. They met to renew a treaty made some years before. Speeches were made, blankets and wampum were exchanged, healths were drunk and King George was toasted. The meeting lasted for two days and broke up in amity and good nature. The death of Charles YI of Germany in 1740 started a new quarrel between France and England over the succession to his throne. Colonel Josiah Willard of Winchester was placed in command of Fort Du mmer in 1740, and the fort materially strengthened in anticipation ofa fresh outbreak ofthe French and Northern Indians. A stockade of sharpened pickets 20 feet high was built around the fort enclosing about four acres, with sentry boxes Five feet higher at the corners. At this time were constructed three very comfortable two-story buildings called province houses and located at three corners of the fort. In 1744 the long expected war broke out, trading was discontinued at Fort Dummer, and the Indian Commissioners left. Considerable fighting occurred in the neighborhood, and the danger was so great that many settlers sought shelter at the fort, and some houses were built within the stockade. This war was ended by the peace of.-Xix-la-Chappelle on October 18, 1748, proclaimed in this country in Janu- ary 1749. The garrison of the fort was again reduced to ten or fifteen men. Indian war parties, however, continued to hover around the frontiers bringing death or captivity to many settlers until the capture of Ticonderoga and Crown Point in 1759, and the conquest ofCanada in 1760. The new line between the provinces fixed in 1741 left the fort in New Hamp- shire, but since it was more necessary to Massachusetts Bay it continued to be maintained by that province. In 1749 when it was intended to be turned over to New Hampshire a plan was made giving The phisognomy of Fort Dumerf' It still continued in Massachusetts, and in the charter of Brattleboro by Governor Benning Wentworth on December 26, 1753 His KIa,iesty's Fort Dummer and a Tract of Land fifty rods round it were reserved. With the end of hostilities in 1760 Fort Dummer ceased to be a military post. CMM Cfamf X I 3
