Their history is broadly similar to that of the Abenaki , with whom they are usually classified. They were forced to leave their lands after 1676 because of interaction with settlers, Smallpox and the effect of various wars. They were defeated in 1676 at the end of King Philip's War and those remaining moved to Canada , where they united with the Abenakis at St Francis , Quebec and with the Sokoki s at Saint-François-du-Lac . A large number of the Abenaki Indians living in Vermont and New Hampshire undoubtedly have Pennacook ancestry. Another group went to Schaghticoke , New York . A few people claiming Penacook ancestry have been mentioned in their old territory until quite recently. SEE ALSO REFERENCES
