The earliest physician in Groton, mentioned by name, of whom I have found any trace, is Dr. Henry blasdell. On May 28, 1725, he petitioned the General Court that an allow ance be made him for his professional services and for medi cines furnished during the campaign of the previous autumn, while he was Surgeon to the Western Forces. The amount of his bill was £26 14s., and the General Court allowed him £17 9s. Dr. Blasdell had been impressed into the public service by Colonel Edmund Goffe; and other particulars are given in Groton during the Indian Wars (pages 130, I31).
