Notes
General:
In 1689 the first of the four French and Indian wars broke out. English colonists fought French colonists and their Indian allies. Between 1689 and 1713, settlers fought off continuous French and Indian attacks. When England and France signed a peace treaty in 1713, an era of prosperity began in Massachusetts. Dozens of towns sprang up in the central and northern part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The wars broke out again in the 1740s, however. They finally ended in1763 with victory for the British. (English colonists often had to defend themselves against French and Indian raids.)
Ebenezer was burnt out in the GreatFire in Boston 20 March 1760.
