At the age of 29 he took part in King Phillip's War. Three Indian tribes formed a confederation attacking 13 towns burning houses and killing about 600 inhabitants. It was a time of terror for the colonists. About 1000 soldiers and 150 Mohican warriors made a surprise attack on the Narragansetts which had about 600 wigwams that stood in a swamp surrounded by palisades - the only entrance was over a log foot bridge. So desperate was the defense that the new Englanders had to fire the wigwams. Abiel Lamb acquitted himself well. His superior officer in a letter describing the battle says "I hasted to round them in getting close behind it (the wigwams) expecting my men had followed; but all that both of us had was not above five men, one of them, my corporal (Abiel Lamb) whose strength outstrips me."47 Abiel Lamb from Roxbury is on two lists of Capt. Johnson's Company one dated 30 Nov. 1675 receiving L00:19:02 in wages.48 The other list is dated 10 Dec. 1675.49 On March 24 1675 he is on a list of Capt.

They supposedly had a grudge against him for some unknown reason. At times "they lurked around his house "with evil intent" and once fired a shot at him while he was away from home 67 In the Year 1722 Abiel served in the office of constable in Oxford.68 In Jan. 1714 John Towne and Abiel Lamb were chosen to judge the worth of an orchard sold by the town to Ebenezer Hopkins.69 In 1720 Abiel Lamb, John Towne, Samuel Barton, and Joseph Wiley all members of other churches met together and declared they would do all they could do to found and build a Church of Christ in Oxford.70 Abiel for love and affection gave his son Ebenezer land in Oxford.
