Among the tribes he focused on were the Massachuset, the Narraganset, and the Pequot.

Eliot, John, 1604-1690. Letters, 1657-1681.

Title: Letters, 1657-1681.

Copies of letters, made by Rev. John Waddington, from John Eliot to Henry Ashurst and Robert Boyle, respectively Treasurer and Governor of the Society for Propagation of the Gospel in New England, which supported Eliot and other agents in their attempts to establish colonies of "praying Indians." Other English supporters included Lady Mary Armine and the Reverend Henry Jessey. Eliot kept the Corporation apprised of his progress, requested the services of Jonathan Ince, an Indian linguist, and repeatedly asked for further funding. When King Philip's War erupted, Eliot reported to his supporters the massacres and forced removal of Indians to Deer Isle where many of the "praying Indians" starved to death. Eliot comments on the effect of the war on his work and the work of agents Daniel Gookin and Thomas Mayhew.
