Jamestown suffered heavy damage in an attack by American Indians.

Explanation:

The English continued to harass the Doeg on the Northern Neck and in July 1675, a Doeg raiding party crossed the Potomac and stole hogs from Thomas Mathew, in retaliation for him not paying them for traded goods. Mathew and other colonists pursued them to Maryland and killed a group of Doeg, as well as innocent Susquehannock. A Doeg war party retaliated by killing Mathew's son and two servants on his plantation. Framed by Colonists as an unprovoked attack, the Doeg were simply responding to Colonial aggression in kind.[citation needed]
