Deerfield Captives of 1704

 

I became interested in the Deerfield Massacre while researching my Price ancestors. It was pretty easy to find information about the massacre,  there are a lot of sites that cover individual family's that were affected.  What got my attention was that I could not find a complete list of all of the victims of  the raid, and what happened to them. 

All of the information below I have gathered from hundreds of different internet sources. I am sure that I have probably made some errors. If any one has any additions or corrections to add please let me know.

There are tons of sites out there that cover the Deerfield Massacre. Here are just a few of the many that I found to be helpful.

http://www.canadiana.org/cgi-bin/ECO/mtq?doc=02485   The complete on line version of  Alice Barkers book " True Stories of New England Captives Carried to Canada During the old French and Indian Wars."

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~negenealogy/home.htm  A really great place to start your New England research. 

http://www.crossmyt.com/hc/gen/deerfild.html Not only gives genealogy's of some of the family's most affected but gives a little bit of back ground on why.
