Capt. Stephen Greenleaf, Jr. was a prominent man in public affairs, and famed for his services in the Indian wars. He was known as the "great Indian fighter"; and while the public records of the Indian troubles of those days are meager in their accounts, family tradition has handed down through the generations, and the records bear evidence of, some of that service, reference to which will be found in the section of this book relating to military service.
In the town records he was distinguished as Captain Stephen. Robert Pike thus writes in 1690: "Capt. Pierce, Capt. Noyes, Capt. Greenleaf and Lieut. Moores, with the rest of the gentlemen of Newbury -whose assistance, next under God, was the means of the preservation of our towns of Salisbury and Amesbury, in the day of our distress, by the assaults of the enemy." In 1675-76 he was one of the selectmen of Newbury. 25 Aug. 1675, he was wounded by the Indians. In 1689 he was appointed agent of the State to treat with the Indians at Penacook.
May 18, 1695. -He files a petition for relief, and presents the bill for professional services of Dr Humphrey Bradstreet, which reads, "Bill for curing Capt. Stephen Greenleaf, who was wounded while moving a family who had been taken from Newbury by the Indians, £ 12-6-9"
1 March 1696. -The town granted to Stephen Greenleaf four or five rods on the flats, from Watt's cellar spring to Ensign Greenleaf's and Mr. Davidson's grant, from high-water mark to low-water mark, to build a wharf and a place to build vessels upon on certain conditions; one was that it come not within ten or twelve feet of the spring. On the 5th of March, 1696, Captain Greenleaf addressed the following petition to the General Court: "The petition of Capt. Greenleaf, of Newbury, Humbly Showeth: That upon the Seventh of October last, about three o'clock in afternoon, a party of Indians surprised a family at Turkey Hill in said town, captured nine persons, women and children, rifled the house, carrying away bedding and dry goods. Only one person escaped, and gave notice to the next family, and they the town; upon the alarm your petitioner with a party of men pursued after the enemy, endeavoring to line the river Merrimac to prevent their passage, by which means the captives were recovered and brought back. The enemy lay in a gully hard by the roadway, and about nine at night made a shot at your petitioner, and shot him through the wrist, between the bones, and also made a large wound in his side, which would have been very painful and costly to your petitioner in the cure of them, and have in a great measure utterly taken away the use of his left hand, and wholly taken off from his employment this winter. Your petitioner therefore honorably prays this honorable court that they would make him such compensation as shall seem fit; which he shall thankfully acknowledge, and doubts not but will be an encouragement to others, and possibly to relieve their neighbors when assaulted by so barbarous an enemy. And your petitioner shall ever pray.
(Signed) Stephen Greenleaf."
March 6. -Read and voted that there be paid out of the province treasury to the petitioner the sum of forty pounds.
