Talk:Elizur Holyoke

Participation in King Philip's War
There seems to be some dispute as to whether he was involved in King Philip's War at all, let alone if he died as a result. From "Colonial Justice in Western Mass":

Although Holyoke was commissioned an ensign in 1653, a lietenant in 1657, and later appears as captain in the records, he played no important role in King Philip's War or in earlier defensive measures.
