Both Nicholas and Mary were "first named members" of the Third Church

Nicholas Jr. went iwth his parrents to Bridgewater in 1662. He was
known as Captain Nicholas Byram and took an active part in the defense
of the settlement. He also held many postitions of trust in the town
government. Judge N. Mitchell wrote "Nicholas Byram Jr. was mad a
freeman of Bridgewater, MA, by the Court of Plymouth May 29, 1670."
About the Indian fighting Mitchell wrote: "On Monday morning, May 21,
1676, a company of twenty-one men (including Nicholas Byram Jr.) went
out supposing to meet Captain Church and his men, but they cam upon
the enemy (Indians) and fought with them, and took seventeen of them
alive, alos much plunder, and they all returned and not one of them
fell by the enemy, and received no help from Captain Church." "There
was also naother skirmish with the enemy in the south part of the
town, July 31, 1676, when some of King Phillip's special friends were
killed, among others his uncle, who fell by his side. John Adams and
Nicholas Byram Jr. are said to have distinguished themselves on this
occasion."
Nicholas refused to take shelter in the blockhouse, but occupied his
own house, which was some distance from the fort, during the time of
the King Philip's War.
