Marilyn, There are about 125 from Deerfield alone and that doesn't include, Hatfield, Hadley and other surrounding towns like Northfield etc. then there are the New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine captives plus. Many of the names were "francofied" and there is alist of those alone. There are 57 entries alone for Stebbens If Someone has a French line and the names don't seem French, there is a strong possibility the name has been changed through transliteration or who knows what. Farnsworth/Phaneuf John Carter/Jean-Joseph Cartier elisabeth Corse/Corsonquit, Coursin, Cursinwhitt Deerfield itself shows up as Guerfille Those of you who have French lines check them out. Also names like Langlois, Langlais mean the English one. Who said it was easy? Richard

Richard: know what you mean. I am researching the Grenier family and the Ludington/Luddington/Ludenton/Ludinten family. I would appreciate it if you could look and see if any of these appear in your book.

Richard, Are there any members of the Gillet, Gylet (or any similar spelling) family mentioned in the books. I am particularly interested in family lines not associated with Deerfield. However, I sure there are members of this family that would be interested in the Deerfield line. I've been looking for a Gillet for someone in California who was supposed to be here in the 1600's, but no one can find any mention of him any where. The only thing I know is he probably came into this country through Boston. Also are there any stories about the Kellogg family. I think I read somewhere that a Kellogg living in the general area of Deerfield, not sure of the town, was taken captive. I think the person eventually ended up living in central CT after his release.

Richard, Family tradition has a Willard taken captive by indians. Are there any Willards in the book? Thanks in advance, Clyde.
