Robert Hen was a citizen of Stafford County in Virginia who was killed by the Doeg Indians in a raid, said to have been the result of an unpaid debt to Thomas Matthew, plantation owner. His death on a Sunday evening July 1675 resulted in a massacre of the Doeg and the capture of the chief's son. Further actions lead to the attack of the peaceful Susquehannock tribe. This whole affair contributed to the start of Bacon's Rebellion.
