Williams, Eunice -1786

Born in Deerfield, Mass., Sept. 17, 1696; was captured by the Indians in 1704 and carried to Canada. She forgot the English language; joined the Roman Catholic Church; adopted Indian customs and habits; and became the wife of an Indian named John de Rogers. She was later offered a tract of land by the Massachusetts legislature if she would remove with her family to that State, but she declined. She died in Canada in 1786.
