An unknown "negro" was taken captive in Wells in 1712.

"The year 1712 was, indeed, more calamitous and eventful to the people of Maine than several of the preceding years had been. About twenty-six persons were killed, wounded, and taken prisoners in York, Kittery and Wells....John Pickernell, at Sprice Creek, was shot June 1st, as he was locking his door, on the way with his family to the garrison; his wife was wounded and a child scapled. Seven weeks after this a man was killed at Berwick, another at Wells, and a negro taken captive." - Clayton, p. 54
