Hudson, History of the Town of Marlborough (1862), p. 107: the Marlborough raid of August 1707. The page begins Hudson's quotation from the Boston News-Letter of 25 August 1707 ('On Monday, the 16th current, thirteen Indians on the frontier surprised two men at their labors in the meadows at Marlborough') and the pursuit by the garrison and the men of Lancaster.

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.
