Death of a Survivor of the Groton massacre.

--Samuel Moxley died in Groton, Ct. on the 10th instant, at the age of 91 years. --The death of Mr. Moxley, so far as known, breaks the last link connecting us with the living witnesses of the massacre at Fort Griswold, unless we except a Mrs. Stoddard, of Noank, who had an uncle, Simon Morgan, killed at the massacre. Mr. Moxley was 12 years old at the time of the massacre, in which his father, aged 44, and his brother-in-law, Moses Jones, were killed, and his brother, aged 20, was wounded.--New London Chron.
