The closest thing to a first-hand account that I know of, relating to this event, appears in Parson [Thomas] Smith's Journal (see complete reference below*), pp.165-168 passim. "[May] 14. This morning one Brown was killed and Winship was wounded and scalped at [New] Marblehead [now Windham]. Manchester fired upon them and we hope killed an Indian, as did Capt.Skillin another. The Indians fled affrighted and left five packs, a bow and a bunch of arrows, and several other things." [Many details follow, but no mention at all of Polin nor of any individual Indian, neither leader nor follower.] "Manchester was the hero of the action" [but no reasons why given]. "[May] 23. Sunday. Had a contribution in favor of Jos.Knights" [who had escaped May 7 from his second Indian captivity, and had hastily returned to warn the English settlements that more attacks were imminent]. "June 4. Peter [Smith] (who has discontinued preaching at [New] Marblehead three Sabbaths past by reason of the Indians) went [back] there today." [Peter Smith was Thomas Smith's son. In December 1755, Peter started to live & preach at New Marblehead (now Windham) as unofficial pastor, becoming ordained there in 1762. Thomas was the longtime official pastor of Falmouth's (now Portland's) First Parish Church (long before it changed from Congregationalist to Unitarian). Thomas's father / Peter's grandfather had run the Colony's Truck-House (trading-post) near Union Falls on the Saco River (in now Dayton ME), for friendly Indians. Thomas himself invested (for profit & patriotism) in outfitting scalp-bounty-hunting scouts (scouting-parties), against hostile Indians.] *From William Willis, editor (1849): JOURNALS OF THE REV.THOMAS SMITH & THE REV.SAMUEL DEANE..(Portland: Joseph S Bailey).
