THE WATERSIDE Bagnall & Peverly Murder By Mayflower Families "Other genealogical research asserts that Black Will was innocent ~ and that the murders of Walter Bagnall and the other trader (likely John Peverly) actually had been committed by other Indians ~ likely Squidrayset, the Casco Bay Sagamore and other Abenakis. And that Black Will may have been merely visiting the new trading house on the Island, rebuilt after the first truck house was destroyed by fire after the murders." (Facts and dates are found in History of Newbury Massachusetts 1635 - 1902, John J. Currier, 1902) HOME ALPHABETICAL INDEX
