Sarah WILLIAMS Sep 1716 Deerfield was attacked on 29 Feb 1704 by the Indian & French in a early morning raid of the small town. John's two youngest children John 6 years of age and Jerusha 6 weeks old, were killed as he watched nude and bound. Their faithful "Negro" Parthena the guardian to their children was also killed that day 29 Feb 1704. Rev John, his wife Eunice & 5 of their children were marched off to Canada. Their son Eleazer wasn't with them. I don't know why at this writing. On p34-35 of "THE UNREDEEMED CAPTIVE" is a brief message to show you something of what Rev John & his family went thru. "...John Williams was permitted to walk with his wife for the first time, to help her in her journey. Mrs Williams confides that her strength is failing.. She is, after all, still convalescent from her recent child bearing and that "I must expect to part with her" After a while the pastor is ordered to the front and "so make to take my last farewell of my dear wife." Together they pray briefly for "grace sufficient for what God should call us to", and we separated. The way leads across a small river, "above knee-deep...[and] very swift." Then there is another ridge to climb, and then a stop for rest. John Williams asks each of the captives, as they come up, for news of his wife. And presently learns the worse: In passing through the above said river, she fell down and was plunged over heard and ears in the water; after which she traveled not far, for at the foot of this mountain the cruel and bloodthirsty savage who took her slew her with his hatchet at one stroke. Rev John cannot conceal his anguish. His tears flow freely, and " Somehow the sad "tidings" are spread among his five captive children, Samuel 15y, Esther 13y, Stephen 9y, Eunice 7y and little Wareham 4y old. Together they comfort themselves with "hopes of her being taken away in mercy, to herself." At least she will not have to experience "the evils we were to see, feel and suffer under. "They hope, too, that somehow "she might meet with a Christian burial and not be left for meat to the fowls of the air and beasts of the earth." And this "God graciously vouchsafed." Her body will be recovered a few days later by searchers from Deerfield, carried home, and carefully interred in the town graveyard along with her two young children that were slain that awful day." When the march resumes, Rev John feels "a far heavier burden on my spirits than on my back." Liked many of the captives, he is forced to carry a "pack" of supplies. There are additional killings that afternoon; another "sucking infant" & a girl of abt 11 years old." According to local folklore, the infant was tomahawked and thrown into a forty-foot gorge in the present-day town of Bernardston. These killings are not, perhaps as "cruel and bloodthirsty" as they seem to bereaved survivors; certainly, they are not capricious. Mrs. Williams herself makes a good case in point. Weak from the start, heavily fatigued, cold and wet from her fall in the river, she is simply "not able to travel any farther" Her captors must thus make a choice. They can carry her on their backs, but they are already dangerously burdened from carrying "several [of their own] wounded" plus various captive children. They can leave her by the trail, where she would soon perish from exposure and exhaustion. Or they can kill her "at one stroke"---quickly and without much pain. In the coming days they will face similar choices, and make the same decision, time after time. Their fear of "pursuit" remains strong with the Indians, so they must keep the entire group moving as fast as possible. and "their manner was..." as Stephen put it later...."if any loitered, to kill them." On the 2nd night out, Rev John will himself face the possibility of violent death, but for a different reason. An "Indian Captain from the eastward" proposes "taking off my scalp". Rev John prays "to God to implore His grace and mercy" and propounds to his master the blood-guilt of unprovoked murder. The master replies, a little ambiguously, that "he would not kill me." Reassured Rev John goes to sleep. There are other happenings that I won't put in here, it can all be read on the pages 30-39.. One thing I found interesting to put here.."....His relationship with his Indian master sours badly following his refuel even to enter the mission church. (at one point, the master "took hold of my hand to force me to cross myself, (these Indians were Catholics) but I struggled with him...he set his teeth in my thumbnails, and gave a grip...and then said, "no good minister, no love God, as bad as the Devil, and so left off.) Meanwhile, the French governor, having learned of Rev John's arrival nearby, send couriers "to order my being sent up to him." One last canoe trip brings the Deerfield pastor to Montreal, where "Vaudreuil redeemed me out of the hands of the Indians." There is no reluctance on their part to surrender him, no haggling over terms, presumably because all this has been decided long before. It is 8 weeks since the day of the massacre. For Rev John Williams the "march" is over. It is over, too, for at least three of his children. Samuel age 15 & Esther age 13 have "suffered very much through scarcity of food & tedious journeys." Nonetheless, they have been treated well by their captors; " drawn on sleighs when unable to travel," and so "carried to Montreal." There they are "redeemed", the boy by a French merchant who "took a great deal of pains to persuade the savages to part with him," his sister (Esther) by Gov Vaudreuil. (They are not, however, free to return home; that final step will require further negotiations). It wasn't until 1706 when the final exchanges were made for all of the children except Eunice, who was left in Canada. The first news to reach Rev John of his daughter Eunice was after he had returned to Deerfield, it came to him through Peter Schuyler of Albany, a merchant with extensive contacts among the northern Indians. He wrote to Samuel Partridge my 1c9r) who was the commander of frontier soldiers at Hatfield, MA., on 18 Feb 1707, in which he said: "...As to Mr Rev Williams daughter, our spies which we sent to Canada are returned, who as they were hunting, saw his daughter with ye Indian who owns her, she is in good health but seems unwilling to returne, and the Indian not very willing to part with her, she being (as he says) a pritty girll, but perhaps he may exchange her is he can gett a very pritty Indian in her Rome, which he must first see, you may assure Mr Rev Williams I will do all that lays in my power to serve him, as I have formally wrott to him...." Peter Schuyler helped in returning children to their parents, a few weeks later "a captive boy" had recently returned, through his efforts. Rev John WILLIAMS and his 2/wf Abigail (Allen) the widow of Benjamin Bissell - were parents of 5 children, some he named after his children he lost. Rev John died 12 June 1729 at Deerfield, was buried next to his first wife Eunice. 5. ii. PARKE 2) WILLIAMS to be continued - Wilma Fleming Haynes gencon@harborside.com

Surnames: WILLIAMS, CURRY, LAUNDER, OREN, STARBUCK, COOKSON, KRAMER, CRAMER, SLIFE, MOREHART earliest ancestor - Sanford Williams b: abt 1810 in VA or MD - married Sophia Curry (b: 10/27/1811in VA, d: 4/7/1889 in OH?) in Warren Co. VA 8/7/1837. This is the earliest record I can find for either Sanford or Sophia. Sanford also appears on the Warren Co. VA tax rolls in 1837, but this is also, I believe, the first year of existence for Warren Co. VA. I didn't find him in the earler tax records for the surrounding area, so I'm not sure where he came from. Various census records give his place of birth as Virginia or Maryland. Also, Sanford's 2 oldest children were born prior to his marriage to Sophia. Who is the mother of these children? I have found no earlier marriage record for Sanford. I have the children listed below, and after that I give a migration history. Any help at all finding Sanford's parents or siblings is appreciated. Children: William b: abt 1836 in VA, married Elizabeth? d: unk. He was last found in the 1880 census for Hancock Co. OH James b: 2/1837 in VA, married Elizabeth Oren in Clinton Co. OH on 3/28/1861, d: unk. Sometime after the 1850 census, James apparently left to live with the Curry family in Clinton Co. OH according to the 1860 census. Elizabeth was living with the Starbuck family then. James's uncle (Sophia's brother), Hezekiah Curry married Jane Starbuck in 1860 in Clinton Co. OH Idress E. b: 4/18/1840 in VA, married Milo A. Cookson in Hancock Co. OH on 7/12/1857, d: 3/24/1918 in Wood Co. OH, Minerva A. b: 3/22/1841 in VA, married Simon Kramer/Cramer 5/22/1859 in Hancock Co. OH, d: 4/20/1919 in Allen Co. OH, Charles b: 2/1843 in VA - apparently never married. Died after 1910. Last seen in the 1910 Auglaize Co. Census, St. Marys Twp. Sarah A. b: abt 1845 in VA, married Thomas Slife in 1878 in Hancock Co. OH, d: unk, Hezekiah b: abt 1847 in VA. The only reference for him is the 1850 Morgan Co. census in which he was 3. He never appears with the family again and most likely died as a child. John Russell b: 8/8/1849 in OH(probably Morgan Co.), married Amanda Launder in Wyandot Co. OH on 5/4/1882, d: 4/27/1929 in Toledo, Lucas Co. OH, Amanda b: 6/30/1856 in Hancock Co. OH, d: 2/27/1892 in St. Marys Twp, Auglaize Co. OH, was the daughter of Benjamin Launder b: 1818 in England, and Margaret Waltermyer b: 7/25/1823 in Muskingum Co. OH. John and Amanda were my g-g-grandparents. Laura J. b: abt. 1851 married "unk", but according to the 1880 Clinton Co. OH census, she was widowed (it listed her name as "Williams" - and she was living with her parents, Sanford and Sophia. She also apparently had twins Arthur and Beatrice, who were 7 in 1880) d: unk, Eliza Jane b: 11/1/1854, married William Morehart abt 1876, probably in Hancock Co. OH, d: 2/10/1925 in Eastland Co. TX, Mary E. b: abt 1856 marriage: unk , d: unk The Sanford Williams family first appeared in the Warren Co. VA census for 1840, (Living next door to Eleanor Curry - Sophia's mother?) and the tax rolls through 1848. They left VA for OH around then, and they appeared in the Morgan Co. OH census for Deerfield Twp. in 1850 (living next door to William Curry) From there, they apparently migrated to Hancock Co. OH, living there through 1870. Sanford and Sophia are found in the 1880 census in Clinton Co. OH, Union Twp. They are living with their daughter Laura, who was widowed, and son John. I believe they went to Clinton to help her with the twins after her husband died. Where they went after that is a mystery. John married back in Wyandot Co.(adjacent to Hancock Co.) in 1882. I have been unsuccessful finding death records for Sanford or Sophia, although a prayer card for Sophia gives her date of death, but no location. The children of Sanford remained mainly in the Hancock Co. OH area, and from there, Auglaize Co. OH,! Wood Co. OH, and Lucas Co. OH. Several descendants also moved to Michigan and Texas.

Thomas J.'s mother was Julia Williams. Thomas J. and wife lived in or near Washington and Smyth Counties during their lifetimes. Judy

I notice that many have responded with their roll call Williams's, which is great and I hope several brick walls are broken this time around, but I'd like to pass along a few suggestions to help those of us reading the messages, and eventually help the person posting the message. Please put all dates that you know of in your message. I've noticed a few messages that give no dates what so ever. Dating makes a huge difference, especially when you are dealing with names as common as Williams. Please note locations whenever possible. I've also noticed messages with plenty of dates, but it doesn't state where these people are. Some quote census records, but do not say where the census was taken. Please give state, county and township, if you have it, to better pinpoint where a family was during a certain time period. Again, with names as common as Williams, location makes a huge difference in helping to find your family. And regarding the census, if you don't have a date of birth for your ancestor, but do have an approximation from a census record, please state the age at the time of that particular census. Please make relationships clear. Several posts I couldn't make head or tails of the family relationships. And finally, give all the surnames that are "involved" with your Williams family. I have found several elusive ancestors based on the surnames of the "inlaws" of the family. Good luck to all the Williams researchers!
