Julia Ann Richardson

Preliminary information about Julia Ann Richardson from Connie Bissell Schweiger is that Julia was born in Northampton, MA July 1, 1839.  Her father was Aurora Richardson.  His mother was an Indian according to what Auntie Barbara used to say. No one seems to know the tribe or her name. I haven't checked the archives in Northampton, but he was from Northampton.  Herbert Hunt Bissell was married to Nellie A. Damon and had a daughter Dorothy born in May 1904.  She was married to Arthur Rhoades and they had no children.  When Nellie died, Herbert married Mertie Ella Bisbee Dec 22 1908.

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.
