Notes.

 

The Day family is the source of the "cousin" link to investor Warren Buffett.  There's a complete chart on Buffett's page on this website, but Thomas Day's brother John Day, b. 1645 in Hartford, had a son John Day, b. 1676/77 who married Grace Spencer.  Their descendants included Warren Buffett, so the common ancestors between Mr. Buffett and the Bissells are Thomas and John Day's parents, Robert Day and Editha Stebbins, see Burt Chart 2. 

 

Thomas Day also had a sister Sarah Day who was killed by Indians 19 Sep 1677, along with her son Joseph, in the last Indian raid on Hatfield, MA. 

 

From the Ives Family History Blog, Thomas Day moved to Springfield with his mother Editha after his father Robert Day died and she married Elizur Holyoke.  Thomas married Sarah Cooper 27 Oct 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.
