Note | John Mason (c.1600-1672) was an English Army Major who immigrated to New England in 1632; he is a part of founding Norwich, Connecticut Within five years he had joined those moving west from the Massachusetts Bay Colony to the nascent settlements along the Connecticut River that would become the Connecticut Colony. Tensions there rose between the settlers and the dominant tribe in the area, the Pequots, ultimately leading to bloodshed. After some English settlers were found dead, the Connecticut Colony appointed Mason to lead an expedition against the Pequot stronghold in Mystic, Connecticut. The result is known as the Mystic Massacre, and it was the major engagement of the Pequot War in 1636-1637, which virtually destroyed the Pequot tribe After the war, Mason became Deputy Governor of Connecticut. He and a number of others were instrumental in the founding of Norwich, Connecticut, where he died in 1672 There is a statue of Major John Mason in the Palisado Green in Windsor, Connecticut, originally placed at the intersection of Pequot Avenue and Clift Street in Mystic, Connecticut near what was thought to be one of the original Pequot forts. The statue remained there for 103 years until a commission chartered by the town of Groton, Connecticut to study the sensitivity and appropriateness of the statues location voted to have it relocated. The State then stepped in and in 1993 relocated the statue to its current setting An article about the work of the committee can be found at http://archnet.asu.edu/archives/ethno/Courant/day5.htm Early life ----- Born in England where he became an officer in the English army. Mason served as a lieutenant under Sir Thomas Fairfax. In 1632 Mason immigrated to America and settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts where he represented that village in the General Court In 1635 he moved to what would become Windsor, Connecticut, in company with the Reverend John Warham, Henry Wolcott, and others, prominent settlers of the town. He was elected an assistant or magistrate of the Connecticut Colony from Windsor in 1642 [edit] Pequot War On 1 May 1637, the Connecticut General Court raised a force of 90 men to be under the command of Captain John Mason for an offensive war against the Pequot. Mason commanded the successful expedition against the Pequot Indians, when he and his ninety men immortalized themselves in overthrowing and destroying the prestige and power of the Pequots and their fort near Mystic River, on the Groton side. This event became known as the Mystic massacre. The event is commemorated by a boulder monument that formally was on Mystic Hill upon which the pedestal of a life size statue of Major Mason drawing his sword.
