Hudson, History of the Town of Marlborough (1862), p. 106: the Marlborough raid of August 1707. Hudson's own narrative opens the account of the raid on Marlborough in August 1707, in which the garrison of Samuel Goodnow was attacked and two men were taken in the meadows.

Keep in mind: Context: the account of the raid on Samuel Goodnow's garrison, which (Hudson p. 106) 'was designed as the resort of the families of Nathaniel Oakes, Jonathan Forbush and Gershom Fay'; the garrison list on p. 109 names Nathaniel Oakes. This page itself does not say that Nathaniel was present on the day. Confirmed. The News-Letter text as Hudson prints it says 'Monday, the 16th', but 16 Aug 1707 was a Saturday; Hudson's own sentence on p. 106 says 18 August (a Monday), and the Lancaster letter of 19 Aug places the Tuesday fight on the 19th.
