While on the march to Canada, Mrs. Stebbins became worn out by the hardships of the journey, and was unable to travel. As she had thus become an incumbrance to them, the savages determined to burn her. She was fastened to the stake, and witnessed the preparations for the horried ceremony. Heart broken by her sorrows, exhausted by her sufferings, the captive had found her trials almost too great for endurance. She had no hope of ultimate release. In full faith that the portals of eternal rest were about to open for her, she smiled upon her tormentors. The Indians, considering this but an act of bravery, and defiance, were filled with admiration that knew no bounds. She was at once released from her bonds, and assisted and tenderly cared for the remainder of the journey. She was redeemed between September and December, 1758, and lived to good old age, dying Feb 2, 1808, age 76. A monument to her memory has recently been erected in the cemetery by some of her great grand children. History of the Town of Northfield, Massachusetts, by J. H.

Supposedly she married John Ashcraft III on Sept 12, 1690 in Groton, CT. This is from Martha Ashcraft Neal's book "The Ashcraft Family". 3. Has anyone found a marriage record for John Ashcraft to Mary Burrows on this date? 4.-6. John Burrows died intestate in Groton, CT on Feb 12, 1716 - Does anyone know if a Mary Ashcraft is listed in this estate record or inventory??? When Hannah Culver Burrows dies in 1734 a daughter Mary Tuttle is listed in the will. Now John Ashcraft supposedly died in Groton, CT on 5 Jun 1732. So did a Mary Burrows Ashcraft marry a Mr. Tuttle between 1732-1734?? Is there a death record of John Ashcraft for 1732???

Hello, The 5th and final installment of "The Paton Trial," regarding the West Rutland murder of Barney McCue by John Paton (sic) in 1876/77 has been added to the Vermont-L Web Site. The newspaper accounts of this trial were transcribed by Cathy Habes, and I want to take this opportunity to thank her once again for sharing her research with us. I hope many of you found mention of your ancestors in these articles and thus were able to add a bit more flesh to the bones of your research.

Ginny As you get off Rte 91, travel West on Route 2 about 5 or 6 miles to the turn off for Hill Cemetery. After a few miles from Rte 91, there will be a few landmarks along the way: "The Outpost" (gift shop) will be on your left; "Shelburne Falls Coffee Roasters" also on your left ( a golf course behind it); soon after that Rte 2 takes a sharp corner to the right, then a straight piece followed by a slight down slope. The Anchorage Nursing Home will be on a hillside to your right, followed by The Trading Post (another gift shop featuring Native American goods). "Little Mohawk Road" will be on your right, in view of the white Congregational Church also on your right. Turn onto Little Mohawk Rd. After less than a mile, there will be a road to your right "Village Road". It is narrow and steep. Hill Cemetery is up there on your left, maybe 1/4 mile. Enjoy!!

In an attack made upon Charlestown, August 27, 1757, Asahel Stebbins was killed, and his wife taken prisoner, by the Indians, leaving four children, the oldest but 7 years of age. While on the march to Canada, Mrs. Stebbins became worn out by the hardships of the journey, and was unable to travel. As she had thus become an incumbrance to them, the savages determined to burn her. She was fastened to the stake, and witnessed the preparations for the horried ceremony. Heart broken by her sorrows, exhausted by her sufferings, the captive had found her trials almost too great for endurance. She had no hope of ultimate release. In full faith that the portals of eternal rest were about to open for her, she smiled upon her tormentors. The Indians, considering this but an act of bravery, and defiance, were filled with admiration that knew no bounds. She was at once released from her bonds, and assisted and tenderly cared for the remainder of the journey. She was redeemed between September and December, 1758, and lived to good old age, dying Feb 2, 1808, age 76.
