WALLEI, John, soldier, born probably in London, England, in 1644; died in Boston, Massachusetts, 11 January, 1712. He was a son of the Reverend Thomas Walley. On 12 February, 1689, he commanded the first expedition against the French and Indians in Canada, and in August, 1690, he sailed from Boston as the lieutenant of Sir William Phips in a second expedition. He landed near Quebec with about 1,200 men, and after some courageous but ineffectual fighting, and an unsuccessful bombardment by Phips's fleet, he re-embarked. Walley was one of the principal founders of the town and church of Bristol, became a member of the council in 1687, and was captain of the Ancient and honorable artillery of Boston. His journal of the Canadian expedition is printed in Thomas Hutchinson's "History of Massachusetts."
