 Native forces infiltrated Sudbury during the night and attacked at dawn, burning houses and barns, as well as killing "several persons," according to Puritan historian William Hubbard.Many English residents of Sudbury (most of whom lived on the east bank of the Sudbury River, in present-day Wayland) abandoned their homes and sought refuge in the town's fortified garrison houses.The Natives besieged the Haynes garrison house on Water Row Road all morning but faced a stout defense from the English civilians within.
