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
