Indian matters and cause of death
"...in December, 1666, he served his community in an unusual manner for an Indian had died alone in a wigwam at the edge of town from smallpox which was such a terrible scourge then. The constables arranged with one John Smith to dig a grave within the wigwam and he with William Robinson and an Indian called 'Joseph', put the corpse in the grave which Smith then filled up."
William was killed, according to the diary of Rev. John Elliot in Roxbury Church Records, by being drawn through by ye cog wheel of his mill and was torn in pieces and slain.
