The Paxton Boys were vigilantes from Pennsylvania made up of Scotts-Irish frontiersmen. They became famous in 1763, during the Indian War, when inebriated attacked a Suesquehannock (a native tribe) settlement on the Susquehanna murdering 20 innocent people. Governor Penn ordered the arrest and prosecution of the men involved in the massacre, but the local population, sympathetic with the Paxton Boys, covered them up so that none would face a trial. This kind of animosity of the frontiersmen against the native tribes throughout the American Revolution and afterwards.

The right answer is Paxton. The Paxton Boys were rural settlers of Scottish, Irish and German origin from Paxton Township, Pennsylvania, who in 1763 murdered a group of local American Indians that lived in the reserve of Conestoga, claiming that they supported the Indian war effort. This historical event is known as the Conestoga Massacre or Conestoga Slain. The Paxton Boys were never condemned for their acts.
