Martha Patsy Chandler married John Wilson Nichols in Halifax County, Virginia on September 23, 1799. She moved with her husband and family to Smith County, Tennessee and later to Marion County, Illinois. Per Brinkerhoff, John Wilson Nichols left Marion County sometime in the late 1820's but returned later. He died shortly thereafter around 1834.

In 1850, Robert and Martha Patsy Mann are shown living with John Wilson's son Thomas. I believe this Martha Patsy Mann was Thomas'es mother. John Wilson Nichols' mother was Lucy Mann daughter of Robert Mann and sister to Robert Mann Jr. It is also a possibility, that Thomas'es wife, Susan, may have been the daughter of Robert Mann Jr. although several family trees list her surname as Howell. I have not found any solid documentation for Susan's surname.

Robert Mann Jr. apparently passed away sometime after 1850 but before 1860. In 1860, Martha Patsy Mann listed with the name Martha Nichols, was living with another son, Robert Nichols.

Martiau was a French Huguenot refugee, educated as a military engineer. He was in the service of the Earl of Huntingdon, one of the Virginia Company, and was sent to America in 1620 aboard the ship "Francis Bonaventure." He led a raid against the Indians at Falling Creek after the 1622 massacre. He was instrumental in securing the removal of Governor Harvey. Harvey returned to England to plead his case. He later returned briefly to Virginia, bringing with him the young George Reade, who later became Acting Governor of the colony and married Martiau's daughter, Elizabeth. In 1627 Martiau defended the French king in an argument with Thomas Mayhew and this forced him to take a loyalty oath (he had previously been made an English citizen). His grandaughter, Mildred Reade, married Augustin Warner and George Washington was their descendant. His youngest daughter, Sarah, married Capt. William Fuller, who became the Puritan Governor of Maryland.

Mary Addy (Addie) Branch
Birth: 1602 Darton, South Yorkshire, England
Death: 1630 Henrico County Virginia, USA
Father: Francis Addie b: 24 JUL 1569 in Darton, Yorkshire, England c: 24 JUL 1569 in Silkstone, Yorkshire, England
Mother: Margaret Lee b: Bef 5 SEP 1579 in Darton, Yorkshire, England

In March 1620, Christopher and Mary (Addy) Branch embarked on the "London Merchant" of 300 tons burden dispatched from the Port of London for Virginia. This ship was commissioned by the Virginia Company and carried 200 passengers, mostly single men, and arrived with only the loss of one soul. Christopher and Mary first settled in present Henrico Co., in an area called "ye Colledg Land" (the College Land) circa 1623/24 and in the muster, 1624/25, he, his wife and their 9 months old son, Thomas, are listed there. Shortly afterward, when the family relocated to "Kingsland" (see map for location of "Kingsland"), their plantation on the south side of the James River almost opposite Attowhattocks (see accompanying map) in Henrico Co., (now Chesterfield Co.), Thomas was listed as the only Virginia born child in the county. "Kingsland", home of the Branch family, just west of "Farrar's Island", was also near "Osborne", home of the Jeffersons (see accompanying historical marker).

The children of Christopher and Mary (Addie) Branch were:
1) Thomas Branch b. May 1624 Henrico Co., VA, d. 1694, m. Elizabeth (Gough?)
2) William Branch (see below)
3) Christopher Branch (see below)

She died in 1630 and is probably buried at "Kingsland", her husband's plantation, in a now unidentifiable grave site.

Mary Allerton was born about 1616 in Leiden, Holland, to parents Isaac and Mary (Norris) Allerton. She came to Plymouth on the Mayflower in 1620 at about the age of four. Around 1636 she married Thomas Cushman. Thomas had come to Plymouth at the age of 13 on the ship Fortune in 1621 with father Robert Cushman, a prominent member of the Pilgrims' congregation in Leiden. Thomas and Mary had a surprisingly prosperous family: seven of their eight children survived to adulthood, got married, and provided at least 50 grandchildren. Thomas and Mary both lived to very old age, having never moved from Plymouth. Thomas died in December 1691, nearly reaching 85 years in age. Mary, who gave birth to and raised eight children, lived to the age of 83. Prior to her death in November 1699, she was the last surviving Mayflower passenger.

Mathieu Agee, b abt 1676 near Nantes, was the son of Anthony Agee b 1639 and Judith Chastian b abt 1638 Nantes) married Ann Goddin (dau of Andre Goddin). He was the grandson of John Francis Chastian, b 1612 Nantes and Frances Jane Re-Nault, b abt 1620 Nantes.

Mathieu Agee is the progenitor of all the Agee family in America. He was of the Des Ages, who were of Noble Birth, of the old Bishopric of Saint Milo in or near Nantes, France. Because of their sympathy for the cause of the Huguenots, their claim to nobility was abrogated and their lands confiscated in 1688, as were titles of lands of many Huguenots and other non-conformists. Mathieu Agee left France in 1688, going to Holland where he, with some two thousand Huguenots, attached themselves to William of Orange and was part of the expedition to England, where William dethroned the then Catholic King James, and himself assumed the duties of the crown.

Mathieu Agee came to Virginia from England in 1690. In recognition of his service he was granted extensive tracts of land by King William. Later he became one of the founders of Manakin in the colony of Virginia and was a long time Vestryman in King William Parish. "He was of sterling character and winsome personality possessing strong business ability. He assumed the duties of citizenship in a new land with dignity, courage and fortitude and a successful life naturally ensued."

Mathieu and Ann had four children: Judith, Isaac, James, and Anthony.

Anthony Agee (b. about 1726, Va.), m. Nancy Binnion and had 11 children: Joshua,James, Daniel, Matthew, Jacob, John, Isaac,Reuben, Anthony, Jr., Jessie and Lear.

Isaac Agee married May Smith (kin of Capt John Smith) and they had 11 children: Patsy,William, Elizabeth, May, Sarah, Isaac, James,Kizzie, Edmond, Nancy and Jessie.

Matilda and her brother William were possibly twins.

According to some accounts, Matilda was named Alice at birth, but herfather Henry I changed her name to honour her mother, Matilda of Scotland(who had herself changed her name to honour Henry's mother).

Matilda's marriage to Geoffrey was mostly stormy. In 1131, three yearsafter they married, Matilda returned to her father, Henry I. Then,according to Henry of Huntingdon, she was sent back to Geoffrey "andgiven a reception fitting for such a virago."

According to some sources, Matilda died in 1169.

The Mattoon's are reported to be of French Huguenot origin and probably bore the continental name of "Maton". Thousands of French Huguenots took refuge in Holland and England in the wake of religious persecutions in France during the 15th Century. Among the names found in the early English sailing lists are a few Matons, but no Mattoons. The first colonial ancestor was Hujubrecht (Hujbrecht or Hubartus) Mattoon whose name appears originally as a witness to Thomas Walford's deed in 1648/49, at Strawberry Banke. Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The Dutch spelling of his name (by his own hand) indicates the strong likelihood of family residence in Holland in his formative years at least. With others, at Kittery, Maine, he signed the Oath of Allegiance to the government of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, 16 Nov 1652. It is this Hujbrecht Mattoon who is attributed by reputable genealogists to be the father of Philip Mattoon of Deerfield, MA.

McCarty History in Virginia:
One of the nearest and most intimate friends of the McCartys was George Mason of Gunston Hall in Fairfax County. Mason is an historic figure in the political movements of his day and is described as "one of the greatest men of a great period." He was the author of the "Declaration of Rights" and the Constitution of Virginia, and is familiarly known as "The Father of States' Rights." Colonel Daniel McCarty and George Mason were keen sportsmen, and Dogue's Neck, part of the Mason estate, was long famous for its native deer and wild fowl, and the neighboring gentry often were guests at the hospitable mansion of the Masons and in hunting parties and other social events of the time. In 1778, Daniel, son of Daniel and Sinah (Ball) McCarty, married Sarah, daughter of George Mason, and William T. Mason, son of George, married Sarah McCarty. Daniel, Jr., was also known as "Colonel," and after their marriage the young couple settled at Cedar Grove. Kate Mason Rowland, in her Life of George Mason, thus refers to Cedar Grove: "The McCarty place has gone out of the family of its original owners. It is beautifully situated on Pohick Creek. Its lovely water views from its commanding position on high ground almost entirely surrounded by the Creek, are its chief attraction now, but in former days, with its lawns, its orchards and its shrubberies, it must have made a delightful residence. The family burial ground at Cedar Grove is perhaps a half mile from the house in a dense grove of oaks and poplars. Bending back the thick branches in this Druid-like solitude and stooping over fallen trees, one finds three graves with their gray mosscovered stones, marking the spots where rest Dennis McCarty and his grandson, Daniel McCarty, with the wife of the latter, who was the daughter of George Mason. Colonel Daniel McCarty, the elder, the friend and contemporary of George Mason, was buried at Mount Airy, another family seat of the McCartys.

That portion of his estate in Stafford County which Daniel, the Speaker, bequeathed to his son, Dennis, having been subject to entail, the latter's descendants regarded it as a hardship that they were precluded by the terms of the will from disposing of it as they chose. This matter was the subject of discussion between Daniel McCarty and George Washington, and among the Washington papers at the Library of Congress there is a letter from Daniel McCarty dated December 6, 1769, addressed to "George Washington Esq. at Williamsburg," which reads as follows:

"I send you by Mr. Peirce Bayly the Deeds made by me and my wife to Mr. Chichester and Likewise them from him and his wife to me, as also my Grandfather's will, Wherein you will find in the 3rd. Page how he gave the Land. Fairfax County was then Stafford, and by looking over the Will you may see some hardships which my father was laid under more than either of my Brothers. My wife's father's will I have not, neither is it in my Power to get it at this time, it being on the Records of Lancaster, but you may see by the Deeds made to Mr. Chichester in what manner it was Given which I hope will be sufficient. We have at last had a Vestry to lay the Parish Levy which is Sixty three per Pole 34900 being Levy'd Towards Paying for the Church and by those very Gentlemen who was so much against it formerly. Mrs. Posey & old Mrs. Johnston are both dead within two or three Days of each other. You will remember that I informed you that I have near Six thousand acres of Land more which is all intailed, being in the County of Loudoun, and I must beg your care of the Papers now sent. My Wife joins me in our Compliments to your Self, Mrs. Washington and Miss Patey, hopeing to see you all Return in Good Health, And I remain with great esteem

Dr Sr yr most obet Hble Servt
Daniel McCarty."

It is evident that upon Washington's return from Williamsburg the question was again discussed, and that it was decided that McCarty should seek relief from the legislature by securing the passage of an act canceling the entail, which process was known as "docking the entail." The Journals of the House of Burgesses under date of December 12, 1769, contain this entry:

"A Petition of Daniel McCarty was presented to the House, and read, setting forth that the Petitioner is seized in Fee Tail under the Will of Daniel McCarty his Grandfather, of 2000 Acres of Land in the Parish of Truro, and County of Fairfax, and is seized in Fee Simple of 1000 Acres of Land in the County of Fauquier, purchased of Richard Chichester and Sarah his Wife, and that it will be to the advantage of the Petr and those claiming in Remainder if the Intail of the said 2000 Acres of Land in Fairfax was docked and the said 1000 Acres of Land in Fauquier, with nine valuable Slaves, settled in Lieu thereof, and therefore praying that an Act may pass for that Purpose."

Thereupon, it was "Ordered that leave be given to bring in a Bill pursuant to the prayer of the said Petition," and it is with considerable interest that we note that the two persons who were "ordered" by the House "to prepare and bring in the same" were George Washington and Richard Henry Lee. 21 On the following day there is an entry in the Journals, reading: "George Washington, member of the House from Fairfax County, presented a Bill to dock the Intail of certain Lands whereof Daniel McCarty is seized and for settling other Lands and Slaves to the same Uses," and the bill was passed by the House on December 19, 1769.

Medieval Showdown: The King vs The She-Wolf

On the 25th of January 1308, 12 year old Isabella of France married 23 year old Edward II. She was the daughter of Philip IV and Joan of Navarre. He was the crown prince of England, son of Edward ‘Longshanks’, the Hammer of the Scots. It should have been a match made in mediaeval heaven, however Isabella would spend most of her marriage fighting for the attention of her husband from other men. A month after their wedding the pair were crowned king and queen of England. In the beginning, Edward didn’t take much notice of his young wife. He was preoccupied with a young nobleman by the name of Piers Gaveston. The pair had been together for many years and Isabella was unlikely to come between them. Much to Isabella’s horror, Edward even gave Gaveston jewels he’d received as a wedding gift. He made Gaveston Earl of Cornwall and arranged a prestigious marriage for him. Edward also appointed Gaveston regnant when he was out of the country. Edward’s clear favouritism towards his companion didn’t just upset his queen, it created friction between the king and some of his barons. His behaviour also caught the attention of his father in law, King Philip IV of France. Philip was annoyed with Edward’s treatment of Isabella. Seeing how precarious things were becoming, Edward was forced to exile Gaveston to France. Through careful politicking, Edward was able to appease his barons and Gaveston was allowed back in the country. The king’s relationship with Gaveston continued for several years but by 1312, the barons were once again upset over Gaveston’s influence over the king. This time they didn’t wait for the king to send his lover away. Instead, they had him assassinated. By this time, Isabella was pregnant with their first child, the future Edward III. Without Gaveston in their lives, Edward and Isabella’s relationship flourished and they had three more children. Despite there being other ‘favourites’ (both male and female), the marital bliss between Isabella and Edward lasted around 10 years. By all accounts the couple were infatuated with each other. One particular night Edward saved his wife’s life when a fire broke out in their tent. The king was seen carrying Isabella to safety, both completely nude. Unfortunately, the love affair wasn’t to last. By 1322 Edward had another lover, Hugh Despenser the Younger. Unlike Piers Gaveston, Despenser actively positioned himself between the king and queen, diminishing Isabella’s influence on Edward. It wasn’t just the queen who felt pushed aside for Despenser, the barons were once again feeling left out. After war with France, which resulted in Edward confiscating Isabella’s lands, she was sent to negotiate a peace deal with her brother, Charles IV. While there, an unhappy Isabella convinced Edward to send their son, Edward of Windsor, to join her. Once the queen had control of their son she used him to try to force Edward to see reason. Isabella demanded that her husband get rid of Despenser, return her lands and agree to continue their relationship as husband and wife. Under the influence of Dispenser, Edward refused. This decision would prove to be a huge mistake. A few years before, Isabella had met Roger Mortimer when he was locked up in the Tower of London. He eventually escaped and fled to France where the two once again ran into each other. Although their relationship started out platonic they eventually became lovers. Mortimer had a longstanding grudge against Hugh Despenser and was willing to help the queen get rid of him, even if that meant removing Edward from his throne. Isabella and Mortimer arrived in England and chased the king and Despenser out of London. The barons played their part by rising up against Edward and his lover. Despenser was caught and executed and Edward was forced to abdicate, handing the throne over to his 14 year old son. Since Edward III was still underage, Isabella and Mortimer effectively ruled England for him. However, their greed made them just as unpopular as the previous king. Isabella was given the respect due to a queen and was sent to live under house arrest, giving up most of her exorbitant income. Roger Mortimer didn’t fare so well. In November 1330, Mortimer was hanged. Edward II lived out his days away from court. His cause of death and even the date is unknown. For centuries it was believed that Edward died a gruesome death, ordered by his wife. It was said that a horn was shoved up his backside and a red hot poker inserted, burning out his insides. However, there are accounts of his activities long after he was meant to have died. As far as Isabella’s part in his death, she was known to have sent him gifts shortly before his supposed murder, hardly the behaviour of someone plotting the death of her husband. All Isabella had wanted was a real relationship with her husband and to rule beside him as a true queen. Even after suffering the humiliation of having to share Edward with other men, she still only asked to be allowed to live with him as his wife. Blinded by the influence of Gaveston and then Despenser, he had refused and it had cost him his throne. As a scorned woman, the She-Wolf of France defeated a king.

Plantagenet, Edward II (I36901)

5132

Mehitable Smead was born in Northampton, Hampshire, Massachusetts on January 2, 1667 to William Smead and Elizabeth Laurence. The family moved to Pocumtuck, now known as Deerfield, Massachusetts. It was a dangerous place to live, being situated on the frontier of New England.

In 1675, King Philip's war began. On one side were the English colonists and thier Native American allies, while on the other were the Wampanoag, Anawon, Tuspaquin, Nipmuc, and Pocumtuc tribes, joined together under the leadership of Metacom, chief of the Wampanoags. (The war was named after Metacom, who was given the nickname "King Philip" by the English, who found his mannerisms haughty.)

On September 18, 1675, the natives attacked Pocumtuck, destroying homes and forcing many of the inhabitants to flee. Captain Thomas Lathrop was ordered to take his troops to Deerfield, and there, with the remaining townsmen, to retrieve any salvageable grain and bring it to the garrisons at Hadley, Northampton and Hatfield. Among the 80 - 100 men bringing back the grain was Mehitable's older brother, William Smead. He was driving one of the wagons.

Captain Mosely and his Pocumtuck garrison sent out scouts ahead of Lathrop, but Captain Lathrop did not send out any vanguard or flankers, even though the trail led through some dense forest, thinking it unlikely that such a large group of English would be attacked. About 5 miles outside of Deerfield, the convoy emerged from the forest into a narrow, swampy thicket. There they slowed down in preparation to cross Muddy Brook. The convoy ended up bunched all together before the brook. It was a particularly hot day. Realizing that it would take time to get everyone across, the soldiers tossed their rifles on top of the wheat and began to relax. Some soldiers began to gather the wild grapes that grew alongside the brook.

700 Native Americans lay in ambush. Metacom was there, leading the Wapanoags and the Nipmuck bands were there under Sagamore Same, Mantaup, One-eyed John, Matoonas, and Panquahow. At a given signal, the warriors sprang their trap. Chaos followed, as bullets and arrows flew at the bewildered English from every direction. Captain Lathrop fell immediately. Within minutes, over 70 of the English were killed, and the scalping began. The sluggish little brook ran red with blood, earning it the name 'Bloody Brook.' Among the dead was 15 year old William Smead. Period writer William Hubbard called it "the saddest day that ever befell New England."

Even though much of Pocumtuck was destroyed, the stubborn English settlers built a new town on the site. Shunning the old Native American name, they called it Deerfield. Mehitable remained there, and married another Deerfield resident, Jeremiah Hull, the son of Jeremiah Hull and Hannah Baldwin. They had two children together, Elizabeth and Jeremiah. Her husband died on December 11, 1691.

On June 27, 1692, Mehitable married a cordwainer named Godfrey Nims, the widower of Mary Margaret (Miller) Williams. Godfrey had several children from his first marriage, Rebecca, John, Henry, Thankful and Ebenezer Nims as well as two step-children, Mary and Zebediah Williams. The family lived in Deerfield, Massachusetts, where Godfrey bought the lot on which the second church, the town house and the Memorial Hall now stand, and they built a house.

On the night of January 4, 1693, tragedy struck. Godfrey's son Henry went upstairs into the bedroom where Mehitable's son Jeremiah and another child were sleeping. He brought a light with him, and accidentally set some flax or tow on fire. The flames quickly spread. Henry carried one of the sleeping children downstairs to safety, but when he came back up for little Jeremiah, it was too late to save him. The entire home burned to the ground that night.

Godfrey and Mehitable then purchased the adjoining lot to their old place, and built a new home. They had 5 children together: Thomas, Mehitable, the twins - Mercy and Mary, and Abigail. Sadly, Thomas died on November 6, 1693 at 3 years of age.

On September 16, 1696, a small party of Native Americans surprised Mehitable's brother John Smead, and John Gillet, on Green River. They captured Gillet, and pushed on to Deerfield, where most of the inhabitants were collected in the fort attending a lecture. Daniel Belding and his family were late and headed for the lecture when the Native Americans attacked them. Mrs. Belding and three of the children were killed, two others were wounded, while the remaining two children and Daniel Belding were taken captive. The Deerfield residents discovered what was happening and went to their aid. They managed to wound one of the attackers, but they could not rescue the Beldings. Mehitable's step-son Zebediah Williams was wounded in the fighting.

By 1703 were still no English settlements west of Deerfield for fifty miles, until the Hudson River and New York. Nor were there English towns north of Deerfield at all. To the east was forty miles of wilderness. It was a time of great anxiety, similar to the time of King Phillip's War. Queen Anne's War had begun, and the New York Govenernor Lord Cornbury had sent word in May that the French soldiers and their Native American allies were heading down from Canada towards Deerfield and the Connecticut Valley. In October, a small Native American force struck, capturing Mehitable's step-sons Zebediah Williams and John Nims. She never saw them again.

Deerfield strengthened its fortifications, and the Massachusetts General Court sent soldiers from Boston to help protect the town. All was quiet as winter descended, and Mehitable and her family must have felt some relief, as wars are not usually fought in the cold and snow of a New England winter. However, as a precaution, everyone, including the 20 Massachusetts soldiers, slept in the dozen houses that inside the pallisades of Deerfield, where the Nims home was located, leaving the other thirty or so houses empty. A watchman patrolled the town every night.

Two hours before dawn, on the leap-year morning of February 29, 1704, as Deerfield's residents slept, joint French and Native American forces under the command of Jean-Baptiste Hertel de Rouville gathered two miles north of town, just across the Deerfield River. De Rouville's forces consisted of 47 French and French-Canadian soldiers, including regular army men and coureur de bois, and 200 Native Americans, mostley Abenaki, Kanienkehaka and Wyandot, as well as a few Pocumtuck. They had made their way south on snoeshoes, walking atop the frozen waterways - up the Sorel River to Lake Champlain, up the Winooski River, and onto the upper Connectiut River. They had left a few of their party, plus the sleds and provisions, some twenty-five miles above Deerfield.

Silently, De Rouville's forces they crossed the river and made their way towards Deerfield. They were able to move quietly in the snow that dampens all sound. Heavy snowddrifts piled against the walls surrounding Deerfield - they were so high that the attackers easily scaled the ten to twelve-foot high walls.

When they were discovered by the watchman (who has been accused of being unfaithful in his duties that night) he discharged his musket and cried, "Arm! arm!" This was the signal for the assault. Doors and windows were broken down; men, women, and children dragged from their beds, murdered in cold blood, or bound as captives. De Rouville's forces had the advantage, despite the townspeoples efforts to fight back. The main body of the French stood to their arms, firing upon the houses and killing all who resisted, shooting the cattle and sheep, while detached parties were securing "provisions, drink, and cloathing," which were packed up and carried to their rendezvous, others collecting and guarding the prisoners and leading them to the same place. The Native forces attacked the Nims house, where they met with resistance. Godfrey and his family (like the Mattoon, Catlin and Frary families) had had the time to rouse and defend themselves, but not enough time to flee. Compared to theresidents of other homes that were attacked, the members of these four families suffered more members killed outright rather than taken captive, probably due to their resistance. The Natives set the Nims house on fire. Godfrey escaped on foot with Deacon Sheldon and a soldier and made it to Wells's Fort, the picketed house of Capt. Wells, who lived on the Fogg lot. De Rouville's forces soon turned their attention to Wells's Fort, which was fiercely assaulted, but successfully defended.

Just after 8:00 a.m., English reinforcementscharged up from Hadley and Hatfield. The French and Natives were driven from the fort. The siege being raised, the brave garrison, with men from Captain Wells, joined their rescuers. There were 57 men in all, and they pursued the retreating enemy across the meadows. De Rouville, noticing their small numbers, halted his front and formed an ambuscade. Into this the English, let on by Sergeant Wait, fell, in spite of a command to retreat by the cautious Captain Wells. Nine men were killed in this trap and the ensuing retreat. De Rouville's forces chased the English back into the stockades, then withdrew to Petty's Plain. Deerfield was destroyed. At the battles end, 22 men, 9 women and 25 children were dead, another 109 had been taken captive, and almost half of the houses were burned down.

Mehitable arguably suffered one of the greatest losses that morning. Her 7 year old daughter Mehitable and her five year old twin daughters Mercy and Mary had been hiding in the cellar of the family home when it was set on fire, and they smothered to death as the house burned above them. A similar tragedy unfolded In the home of her brother, Samuel Smead, were Mehitable's mother Elizabeth, Samuel's wife and his two young children hid in the cellar while he went to get help. Their house was also set on fire, and they all perished. Mehitable's her younger sister Thankful (Smead) Hawks, her brother-in-law John Hawks, her two little nieces Martha and Thankful Hawks, her nephew John Hawks, her step-son Henry, her step-daughter Rebecca (Nims) Mattoon, Rebecca's husband Phillip Mattoon and Rebecca Mattoon's newborn baby were all slain in the attack. Her brother John Smead was shot in the thigh, but survived. Mehitable herself, along with her 3 year old daughter Abigail, her daughter Elizabeth Hull, her step-son Ebenezer, her pregnant step-daughter Mary (Williams) Brooks, Mary's husband Nathaniel Brooks, her step-grand-children Mary and William Brooks, her pregnant sister Waitstill (Smead) Warner and her young nieces Sarah and Waitstill Warner were among the 109 captives.

They began a forced 300 mile march to Quebec. The winter conditions made the march extremely difficult, and as the captors feared pursuit, the pace was gruelling. As captive Stephen Williams later remembered it "they traveled (we thought) as if they Designed to kill us all." Those who were sick or injured and slowing the group down were sometimes slain by their captors. These tended to be adult women and children under 2 years old (who were vulnerable to the harsh weather and diet.) Older children were valued for adoption into the tribe, and were even carried or drawn on sleds by their captors. On the fourth day of the journey, Mehitable's sister Waitstill was killed. On the fifth day, four women were killed: Hepzibah Belding, Mary Frary, Hannah Carter, and Mehitable.

Godfrey, who was not captured in the massacre, died a few months later.

Despite a life marked by tragedy and loss, two of Mehitable's children survived. Through little Abigail Nims, a Deerfield captive who lived out her life in Quebec, Mehitable is the ancestor of many French Canadians, including Seguins, Sabourins, Castonguays and Cheniers, and through her daughter Elizabeth Hull, (redeemed from captivity in 1707) who married Mehitable's step-son John Nims after his escape from captivity, she is the ancestor of many Americans, including actresses Lillian and Dorothy Gish.

Micajah Bennett of Jackson County, GA left a will dated 8 Apr 1824 naming Salley Cotton as a beneficiary. Apparently, Salley is the daughter of Micajah Bennett.

Michael Sørensen Leigh, born 1656 in Copenhagen, died 1710, was a Danish-Norwegian theologian and author, Master of Philosophy in 1684.

Leigh was the principal of the cathedral schools in Stavanger and Kristiansand and published a number of scholarly theological writings. He became best known for his hymns and devotional books in Danish, including God's Children's Glory (1680), Gilead's Salve (1682) translated into Swedish by Anna Catharina Wefverstedt (1754), and the Preach collection The Sigh of Zion and the Consolation of Jesus (1697).

Leigh was born 1656 in Copenhagen, became a student in 1675, a bachelor in 1676 and a master in philosophy in 1684. As a student he participated in a number of disputations where he showed great energy when it came to unfolding theology's positions in relation to philosophy and cognition. This also marked his desire to be a learned man. Leigh was appointed vice-rector at Stavanger Cathedral School in 1683 and rector in 1684. The rector's position also included the income from Malde (now Madla) parish, for which Leigh was thus responsible. There was modest teaching activity at the cathedral school, and he mainly used his time for theological writing. In addition, he married into one of the city's rich families, and this gave him the opportunity to maintain a vacancy even without large official incomes. In 1697, Leigh was appointed associate professor at the cathedral school in Kristiansand, but conditions there were, if possible, even worse than in Stavanger. Leigh remained in his old position for another couple of years while he waited for one of the priestly vocations for the position of associate professor to become vacant. It was not until 1699 that he moved to Tveit parish, for which he had the income and responsibility. In practice, it seems that Leigh had little to do as an associate professor. He lectured in theology a couple of times a week at Kristiansand Cathedral School, but the students were very few. Thus, it was especially Tveit parish call that became his responsibility. However, one of his students, the later principal of Christiania Cathedral School Jacob Rasch, praises Leigh for his learning and skill. He was mainly able to continue his theological writing in Kristiansand.
