Note that this is a different William Brooks than the one born 1610 who married Mary Burt in Springfield, Mass. 18 Oct 1654. Sources for the information here on William Brooks include Robert Anderson The Great Migration Begins; James Savage, A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England; Samuel Deane, History of Scituate. See http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:William_Brooks_(23)

 

William married in 1643. some sources identify this wife as a widow, Susanna Dunham of Plymouth, but no such person has been found in the Plymouth colony records. This has caused some confusion because William later married Susanna Hanford Whiston, who had a married daughter Bathsheba Dunham. William and his unknown first wife had Hanna (1645), Nathaniel (1646), Mary (1647), Sarah (1650), Miriam (1652), Deborah (1654), Thomas (1657) and Joanna (1659).

The Hatfield Attack

 

Robert and Editha also had a daughter Sarah (Thomas’ sister) who married Samuel Kellogg.  Sarah and her infant son Joseph were killed by Indians Sept. 19, 1677 in the attack on Hatfield.  Her son Samuel was taken prisoner by the Indians and carried to Canada; he eventually returned to Colchester, CT., bought land from his brother Nathaniel and married Hannah Dickinson.  

 

While men were out working in the fields, the Indians attacked, burning houses, killing 12 people and capturing 21.  It is likely that Samuel was returned from Canada by Benjamin Waite and Stephen Jennings, two Hatfield men whose wives and children were taken captive.  

 

Waite, an accomlished Indian scout, and Jennings got approved as agents to bargain for the captives, built a canoe and went up Lake George and Lake Champlain in the winter to Quebec City, Canada.  They may have been the first English colonists on Lake Champlain.  They were able to secure the release of 17 captives and returned to New England in May 1678.  A quarter century later, Waite was killed in the Deerfield Massacre that was part of Queen Anne’s War.
