In June 1724 Gray Lock and his band sortied south from Missisquoi to staging areas west of the Connecticut River settlements, raiding and harassing the Massachusetts colonists at Deerfield, Northampton, and Westfield.
Eastern Abenaki groups made peace with Massachusetts in 1725 and 1726, and Abenaki bands in Canada agreed to peace terms in 1727, but Gray Lock refused, mounting sporadic raids on the colonies over the next two decades or so.
