John Stark ( August 28, 1728 – May 8, 1822 ) served as Major General in the continental army during the United States War of Independence. He was known as “Bennington’s hero” for his victory in Bennington in 1777.   John Stark was born in Londonderry, New Hampshire (on a site that is now in Derry) in 1728. He was eight when his family moved to Derryfield (now Manchester), where he lived the rest of his life. Stark was married to Elizabeth “Molly” page, with whom he had 11 children including his eldest son Caleb Stark. THE April 28, 1752 , during a trapping and hunting expedition along the Baker river, a tributary of the Pemigewasset river, he was captured by abenquis warriors and brought back to Canada, but had time to warn his brother William who had time to paddle in his canoe, but David Stinson was killed. As a prisoner of the Abenaquis, he and his co-chosen Amos Eastman had to undergo the passage between warriors armed with sticks. Stark seized the stick from the hands of the first warrior and began to attack him, taking the rest of the warriors by surprise. The chef was so impressed by this heroic act that Stark was adopted in the tribe, as it was often custom and he spent the winter in Odanak. The following spring, an agent of the government sent by the province of Massachusetts Bay to negotiate the exchange of prisoners paid for his ransom of Spanish $ 103 and $ 60 for Amos Eastman. Stark and Eastman then return to the New Hampshire Sains and Saufs. Stark served as a second lieutenant under the orders of Major Robert Rogers during the Seven Years War. His brother William Stark served next to him with the Rangers. As a member of the Rangers Rogers, Stark has acquired precious experience in combat and in -depth knowledge of the northern border of the American colonies. While he was used with the Rangers in 1757, Stark had a mission as a scout towards Fort Carillon where the rangers had fallen into an ambush. This raid was named battle in snowshoes. In 1759 General Jeffery Amherst, ordered Rogers Rangers to set up a raid from Lake George to the Ab\u00e9naquis village of Odanak, in New France. The Rangers went north and attacked the Amerindian village. Stark, second -hand commander of Rogers of all the Rangers companies, refused to support the attacker team out of respect for their host family of the Amerindians who resided there. He returned to the New Hampshire with his wife, whom he had married the previous year. At the end of the war, Stark retired as captain and returned to Derryfield, New Hampshire.
