Hi List: The book "New England Captives Carried to Canada" between 1677 and 1760 During the French and Indian Wars" by Emma Lewis Coleman (Volune Two) Published at Portland, Maine 1925 by the Southworth Press, page 269 states. The Indians came upon seven men who were getting in hay and ran between them and their guns. One, Isaac Hinkley, they killed, the other six they carried away.. A Letter, forwarded the next day to Lieutenant-Governor Phips, say "We Judge there number to be Betwixt twent & Thirty. We are in a distressed condition & without we are speedily helped, Are afraid must abandon our settlement; P.S. These above mentioned all belong to that part of the town called New Meadows" "It was not known (By the townspeople) that Isaac Hinkley had been killed. Having disappeared it was assumed thatr he too had been captured, but early in the spring of the following year, it was noticed that his dog went every day to a certain gully, and when at last he was followed, Isaac's body was found and identified by a peculiar shoestring. The dog or the friends seem to have been a little slow." Edmund was his brother, Gideon, a youth of nineteen, his nephew, the son of Seth who had been killed before this. By the endorsement of Samuel Whitney's petition we know that all returned except Gideon Hinkley and doubtless he did." Note: They were captured early July (the seventh as I remember) 1751. Samuel Whitney's memorial was dated 4 December 1751. This book is digitized on Heritage Quest and can be printed . I copied only a few pages that discussed this incident. Those captured during the above incident were Samuel Wwhitney, his son Samuel Jr., Hezekiah Purinton (various spellings) Samuel Lumbers (Probably Lombard) Edmund and Gideon Hinkley. Hope this helps.
