4. JACOB FULLAM, only son of Major Francis and Sarah (Livermore) Fullam, was born at Watertown, now Weston, November 19, 1693. He enlisted from Weston, and was a sergeant of that company. He was killed at the beginning of the fight, and was buried on the field of battle. He married, February 28, 1715-16, Tabitha, born in Watertown, August 22, 1696, a daughter of Jonathan and Sarah (Hapgood) Whitney. She was a sister of Isaac Whitney, No. 41. She married secondly, April 19, 1726, George Parkhurst of Weston, who died March 17, 1734-5. She married thirdly, August 10, 1736, Samuel Hunt of Weston, and died in Harvard November 2, 1762.

20. JOHN CHAMBERLAIN, son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Hall) Chamberlain, was born at Chelmsford March 29, 1692. The family removed to Groton about 1698, where the father and son were farmers and millers. Elizabeth, the mother, died June 13, 1699. Thomas, the father, married secondly Abigail Nutting. He was murdered at Chelmsford May 11, 1709, and in court files is described as Thomas Chamberlain of Groton, miller. John Chamberlain enlisted from Groton, and in the fight was wounded, but not seriously. On the feeble authority of an old ballad some have contended that Lieut. Seth Wyman gave the chief Paugus a fatal wound. Before it was printed Symmes's narrative was submitted to Wyman for approval, and while the author credits Wyman with killing two Indians he does not include the chilef Paugus. In another paragraph Symmes rejoices that Paugus, "who has becu such a scourge to Dunstable," was slain during the fight. That Paugus was killed by John Chamberlain is generally believed. He received from the estate of his father "two thirds of the mill, housing stream and lands in Groton." He lived in Groton, and there died, says Dr. Samuel A. Green, about 1758. He married, October 13, 1713, Abigail, daughter of Thomas and Hannah (Whitney) Woods, by whom he had six children.

41. ISAAC WHITNEY, son of Jonathan and Sarah (Hapgood) Whitney, was born, probably at Watertown, in 1703. His parents lived in Sherborn, Watertown, and Concord. He enlisted from Concord. He enlisted from Concord, and was one of the ten men of the company left at the fort. Subsequently he was a glazier and lived in Concord, where he died in 1754. No mention of a wife or children is found.

42. ZACHARIAH PARKER, son of Eleazer and Mary (Woods) Parker, was born at Groton January 29, 1699. He enlisted from Groton, and was one of the ten men left at the fort. He was one of the forty-seven men of Capt. Lovewell's company of the third expedition who were admitted grantees of Suncook, now Pembroke, N. H. It was one hundred and thirty-one years after the fight at Pigwacket before the name of Benjamin Hassell, intentionally omitted by Symmes, and the names of nine of the ten men left at the fort as members of the historic company were made known. The names first appeared in Chandler's Manchester, 1856. Here is found the name of Zachariah Whitney, but not of Zachariah Parker. The compiler of the Whitney Genealogy could not find a Zachariah Whitney of possible age, and honors Zaccheus Whitney with the medals of Lovewell's war. Neither Zachariah nor Zaccheus Whintey was in the expedition or a grantee of Suncook.
