Attack on settlers in colonial Pennsylvania
The Hochstetler massacre was an attack on a farmstead at the Northkill Amish Settlement in September or October 1757, in which three Amish settlers were killed and three others taken into captivity. The attack was one of many assaults by French-allied Lenape and Shawnee warriors on Pennsylvania settlements during the French and Indian War.
