Sept. 30, 1883 at Assumption Parish.Marriage Reg. # 3167. It says her father's name & her place of birth is unknown. Her mother is listedas Fanny DUCHARME. Adolph & Emilie had one son Joseph born in Sandwich1885/86. If I'm tracking the right Emilie, I've got her on the 1871 Canadiancensus National Archives of Canada, online. Listed as a stray-age24-born USA-Roman Catholic- District of Essex. And on the LDS site 1881 Canadian Census is listedanEmily DUCHARM-age 30-born in USA-Essex, ONT. Living in the Victor OUELLETTE household. Victor was a witness to Emilie's marriage. BUT on her son's marriage license he lists Willette ashis mother's maiden name. I'm guessing that OUELLETTE/WILLETTE are connected somehow, but then going back to the marriage of Emilie & Adolph,thisdoesn't compute! The family turns up on the 1910 census in PresqueIsle, MI. along with an adopted daughter Gertrude age 14-born in MI. Gertrude disappears& Adolph-Emily & Joseph lived there till death.

Re: Caleb Purdy b.c. 1776- Cramahe Twp, Ontario from 1804 to 1819Posted by: Alec Purdy (ID *****9953)Date: September 20, 2010 at 13:41:14In Reply to: Re: Caleb Purdy b.c. 1776- Cramahe Twp, Ontario from 1804 to 1819 by Cathy Knight You've found some children that others haven't, so I'm sure you appreciate how complicatedand difficult the family of Joseph 5 Purdy is. I'll outline a bit here and email you privately because we have a lot of theories to discuss. The family of Benjamin 6 ispretty sketchy and what I've put together is based on naming traditions,circumstantial evidence, bits of related families, and a lot of putting people where there isspace. At least we know that there are a lot ofinter-related people in what was a fairly closed community so there weren't transients or other families complicating things further, so we know that they all belong to eachother but the questions are which people belong in which house? The Honeywell or Honiwell family I believe comes from Rutland VT, and the more I look at that part of Ontario the more VT families I see. Benjamin Purdy Jr born 1792 who I think was son ofBenjamin 6 (since there aren't anyother Benjamins!), claimed to be born in VT, which is rather unusual for a Joseph 5 descendant, but we don't know where Joseph was prior to 1797, except that he was in HerkimerCo NY in 1794. There is a stray unidentified Purdy who married Phebe Honeywell (1757-1823) d/o Enoch Honeywell: I don't even know what country this was in, but it shows a close connectionat the time of the Revolution, prior to the move to Ontario, when none of them was in Ontario. TheEddy family, which figures prominently in the Purdy relatives in question, was involved with the Honeywells before they all landed in CramaheTwp. Amy Eddy's mother was Aresenieth Honeywell; Amy married William Purdy who I think is a brother of Benjamin, and Benjamin Jr married DorcasEddy. I think Nancy Purdy who married Harnden Eddy is a dau of Benjamin 6. John 7 Purdy 1799 who married Rachel Halstead I believe is a sonof Benjamin 6. I think Ira was a son of Benjamin 6 but I have no date for him. Caleb, bornabout1810 (who diedin St. Clare Co MI) may be a son of Benjamin 6. I show Honiwell Purdy as born in 1812 and married 23 Feb 1835, with marriage witnessed by Johnand Ira Purdy. Since so many Purdys lived close to eachother, John and Ira might be cousinsbut I'm placingthem closer to eachother as brothers just because the probability is higher. John named a daughter Cloe; I believe that his wife RachelHalstead (d/o Stephen Halstead and Martha Lawrence) was a sister of ChloeHalsted/Halstead wifeofHoniwell Purdy.Ifigure that Cloe appears in John's family because of this close relationship. Again, it's possible that John and Honiwell arecousins rather than brothers, but the probability that they are brothers is higher. I don't know the identity of the wife ofBenjamin 6 Purdy, but I wouldn't be surprised if she were a Honeywell. I have read that Sylvester had a large familybut I don't know anything about them. Perhaps the naming patterns in the descendants of Honiwell and Chloewillhelp indicate theancestry of Honiwell. The numbering system I'm using is ClaytonPurdy's, ie with Francis who died in CT in 1658as #1. This group is Francis, Joseph, Joseph, Obadiah 4, Joseph 5 who went to Ontario in 1797, Benjamin 6 etc.Alec! !<>Julie, Thanks forthe clarification (still clear as mud, isn't it?). I wonder if this is a case of "the family is from Vermont" stories... families on a migration path over a period of time as the Joseph 5 family appears to be, being a largefamily with at least onebranch that certainly does appear to be linked with Rutland VT, and having children born in various places, may lose track of where they were born. By the time David was old enough to claim a birthplace he may have been convinced that he was born in VT;hemay have been born in NY just before they went to VT, or after they left. Maybe his father wasn't in VT at all; perhaps a brother was. I don't think they were there a long time, perhaps only two to fiveyears? I've doneno research at allconcerning Rutland but there is a definite connection between some of the Cramahe Twp Purdys and Rutland families who also moved there. These are a tough group to sort out from the Canadian side because they were there before records were kept andmost of themmoved on to thenewAmerican frontiers by 1850. Time to look at Rutland and what Joseph was doing between North Creek, Herkimer (later Onondaga) County NY in 1794 and 1797 in Ontario. SonBenjamin 6 was probably inRutland asthere is a Benjamin 7 who seems to be his son and who claims birth in VT in 1792. The Caleb 6 we've been looking at here was his brother and his heir James born 1787 claims to have been born in USA butdidn't name VT, and is living in 1871 near Benjamin 6 and the Eddy andHoneywell families. The Honeywells were from Rutland, and there is a Honeywell Purdy (1812) who appears to be a son of Benjamin 5. Wouldn't surprise me if Caleb showed upinRutland area. Alec CALEB P. PURDY b.c. about 1776(he has 8 children in 1804and should have been at least 20 when he was married therefore?.1804-28) and died 1818-1819 married PATIENCE.; arrived in Cramahe Twp, Northumberland County, Ontario 1803-1804. Children: 1) James 2) Gilbert3) Nathaniel b. Mar20, 1792 (sourceforage- UnionCemetery) (listed 1828 Northumberland Militia age 33) 4)David 5) John May 1, 1799 (listed 1828 Northumberland Militia age 39) 6) Caleb b.c. 1801 (source for age -1851 census) 7) Daughter 8) Daughter 9) Daughter Atthe same time there was aDaniel Purdy in Haldimand Twp...which is very close to Cramahe. Daniel b. 1760 - d. 1849 is son of Joseph and Mary Purdy. I am wondering if Daniel and Caleb mighthave been brothers. Any help much appreciated. Regards, LindaHerman ! Hi Linda, There was aJames Purdy born 1787 "heir of Caleb" who lived on lots 1&2, Concession 2, Hamilton Twp, Northumberland County who is probably the JamesPurdyborn inUSAlivingHaldimand Twp in the 1871 censuswithwife Sarah age 76 near Harnden Eddy and Benjamin Purdy & wife Dorcas Eddy. James had a son Gilbert born c1826 "of unsound mind". Daniel Purdy and his wife Mary Peet had a son James born inNY statein1788whomarried Matilda Holt; they had children born in theBrighton area and they mostly moved to Michigan. James' being born in 1787 puts Caleb's birth back around 1762 to 1766 which suits James and also a gap in children of Joseph.James must have been first (living) son. Therewasa Gilbert Purdyliving in May 1799 on Broken Front Lot 4 Hamilton Twp, Northumberland County, Ont. Joseph Purdy in his loyalist claim May 2 1804 says he has 47 children and grandchildren living in Upper Canada;I think your list completes the total(at last!) and itincludes all the Purdys living in that area at the time, so that total and the sharing of names among known Joseph descendants and this Caleb suggests very stronglythat Daniel andCaleb were brothers. Notproof, but there is verystrong circumstantialevidence. Joseph went to Ontario about 1797 (he claimed 39 in family in 1797 when hearrived. He may have been the Joseph Purdy who was arrested 5 June 1776 andimprisoned for awhile atWhitePlains for his Tory activities. He livedin Herkimer Co NY(North Creek)in 1794 where he signed a petition asking for the creation of Onondaga County. Some of his children came with him to Ontario, some arrived later. There is a connection with Rutland VT and there isa Honeywell family from Rutland livingamong Eddy andPurdy which is related. They have been very difficult to trace as you well know, because there were a lot of settlers in that area before there were proper surveys or land grants,and by thetime proper records were being kept andthings settling down so we can make sense of it all, many of them moved back to America. Karin Corbeil has done a lot of worktracing them back viathe Eddy family which is one of the area familiesthat intermarried with the Purdys. The web of inlawsties all these people together. Joseph's wife was Mary __ ? I haven't seen that before.What's the source? Alec! Hi Alec, we "talked" backDec 2001whenI only had one Purdyname, Mary. I now know morenames:Chancey Purdy 1851 Can-1950 Michigan +Margaret Welsh/Walsh 1850 Can-1898 Can James LymanMary Minna John Hattie I was wondering if you had any more info. onthis family. I have afile you sentback then, but it is a bit confusing. hoping to hear fromyousoon Donna! Hi Donna.Yes, I remember our conversations. I have Chauncey born inOxfordCountyOntario, whichI think was your info. Oxford County is in southwesternOntarioI think; sort of London area. The other names you mention; are they siblings ofChaunceyorchildren? You had said that Chauncey had a daughter Mary "Minnie"Purdy born 2 June 1875at E. Nissouri Ontario.There was a Chauncey 7 Purdy whowent to BrantandOxford Co. Ontario and had a son Lyman 8 Purdy in 1824 whomarriedHarriet Harris. He had a daughter named Anna Amanda 9 Purdy who married William Blackburn Elliott. I'm diverginga bit here, because by a strange coincidence aman named Carleton Elliottwho was from southern Ontario moved to Sackville New Brunswick (he was a music professor at Mt. Allison University) and bought the housethat my great-grandfatherlived in, and Carleton told me that one of his mother's friends inOntariowas named Olive Purdy. I haven't found Olive Purdy,butI suspect that Carleton Elliott's ancestors are these Elliotts or cousins of them. Back to Chauncey 7 Purdy...Lyman 8also had a son James Harris 9 Purdy. Other children were Charles Blissett Purdy, CarolineMatilda Purdy, and MargaretJ.Purdy. Chauncey 7hadchildren William H. 8 in 1823, Lyman 8 in 1824, Almira 8 in 1826, Hiram 8 in 1829 (in Ontario so weknow about when hemoved), MaryCaroline 8 in 1830, and Alfred 8 in 1836. Theremay be others, possibly infant deaths at 1832and 1834. Chauncey 7had a brother Lyman 7Purdy (the name appears in the Way; Benjamin 6 Purdy had a sister Marywho married Lyman Way. Are you keepingnotes?), William 7 who went to16 Mile Creek, Niagara County, Ontario (nearSt. Catherines;we have a DNA sample from this line, and he had a daughter Caroline and sons Benjamin and William and James and Charles), Benjamin 7 in 1803, Eliza 7 in 1805, Rhoda 7 1807, and Harmon 7 in 1810. Chauncey 7 had afirst cousinnamedChloey 7andone named James7. Benjamin 6 also had a brother named Ira 6. Now getting back to Ontario but in Cobourg, there wasa Benjamin 6 Purdy born possibly 1773 who we think hada son Benjamin 7 born 1792 in VT. He married Dorcas Eddy whosemotherwasArsenieth Honeywell of Rutland VT, and there is a Honeywell family also living near them in Ontario (from Rutland so they must be in-laws).Among thenames usedin the Cobourgarea we find Ira, Chloe, Hiram, William ... all unusual names forPurdyand allappearing in the Chauncey and Benjamin lines. Chauncey 7's ancestry is Benjamin 6 born 1775 = Abigail Prindle,Benjamin 5, Benjamin4, Daniel 3, John 2, Francis 1. There has to be some connection betweenBenjamin 6 born18 March 1775andBenjamin6 who lived in Ontario at Cobourg born about 1773. It may be that they are the same man and I suspect that the reason we can'tlink them from children's infois that they may have moved to Ontario around 1825, whenmost of the children were adults andonceinOntario they migrated away from Cobourg but left nephews and nieces with traditional names ... Chloe, Hiram, Ira, Lyman, etc.This may explain howsuch characteristicnames came to be spreadall overOntario. The problem is that one Benjamin marriedAbigail Prindle but their family ended in 1810 before the time they would have moved to Ontario. Abigail and Benjamin (1775) were married 4 Feb 1796 at BenningtonVT.Abigail would have been around 30 to35 yearsoldin1810... possibly she died inVT? Possibly Benjamin moved with some of his children to Ontario around 1825... but how do we fit in Benjamin Jr (socalled indocuments) born 1792 in VT? This date predatesBenjaminand Abigail's marriage.Did Benjamin 7have a wife beforeAbigail anda son when he wasonly 17? Was Benjamin Jr. born out of wedlock? Another suggestion is that BenjaminSr. was born 1767 but if this wasn't Benjamin born 1775 whomarried Abigail, then whydo all these peopleshare an unusual groupof names? Benjamin 4 Purdy who wentto Vermont as a founder of Manchester, had a son Solomon 5 Purdy who moved to Rutland VT. A nephew of Solomon, Benjamin6 Purdy hada son Chauncey7 Purdywho is the onediscussed aboveandwho islikely the grandfather of Chauncey born 1851,dueto naming traditions and location. Well, it is confusing isn't it? However I think the ancestry of your Chauncey is defined. Do you know ofany directmale descendants from Chaunceyand Margaret Welsh / Walsh? A DNA sample from him may help establish the connection.Alec Purdy | PURDY, Honeywell (I65257)

ChristineOtis BakerBy JohnScalesChristine Otis, who married Capt. Thomas Baker of Deerfield, Massachusetts in 1715, was born in Dover March 1689 in her father?s garrisoned house which stood on the north side of where is now Milk Street, about half way between Central Avenueand Mt. Vernon Street. She was the daughter of Richard Otis Esq. and his second wife, Grizel Warren, daughter of James and Margaret Warren of Kittery, Maine. The Otises and Warrens have an excellent ancestral record but I will not stop to give it here. When her father?s garrison was burned and he was killed on June 28, 1689, Christine was an infant and was taken prisoner with her mother to Canada by the Indians, as were also her half sister Rose, and herhalfbrothers Stephen andJohn (October 15, 1693). Christine?s mother having been converted to the Romish faith was married to a Frenchman namedPhilip Robitaile and never returned to New England, dying in Montrealat the great age of 90 years. Her daughter had been baptized in the First Church at Dover by the pastor Rev. John Pike, as Margaret Otis, but when her mother joined the Roman Catholic Church and married a Frenchman, the priest rebaptized the daughter and gave her the name Christine, whichname she retained to the end ofher life, although good Parson Stoddard of Dover baptized her againwhen she returned and married Capt. Thomas Baker in 1715and gave her the old name Margaret.In Montreal she was placed ina nunnery andeducated in theRomish faith, until shewas 15 years old. They tried to induce her to become a nun and take the veils ofthe church, but she would not be persuaded; then they compelled her tomarrya Frenchman, named La Beau,June 14, 1707. the recode of her marriage ison file inMontreal. As the education of women went, she was well-educated. She and her husband livedtogether about 7 years and then hedied, leaving her with two or three children.The first that shesaw of Thomas Baker was in 1707,the year she marriedtheFrenchman. Baker had been brought to Montreal a prisoner from Deerfield, Massachusetts. He was a frisky young fellow and tried to escape; the guard caught him and he was about to be shot, a Frenchman intervened and paid a suitable ransomto save his life and permit him to return to his home in Massachusetts. Somehow during the affair- which of course, made a great commotion among the inhabitants, both French and English- Christine Otis Le Beau made the acquaintance of the young man andgavehim her sympathy and probably expressed her admiration for his courage in attempting toescape. It may have been her husband who paid the sum for Baker,a ransom. Anyway, they became close friends then and did not forget it inthe seven years that followed.Thomas Baker returned home and, in time, became a Captain,and won fame in the public service. Christine remained in Canada and in the courseof seven years became the mother of three children and a handsome widow of twenty-five years. Then itcame to pass that Thomasand Christine met again and under circumstances entirely difference from those under which they had parted in 1701.Massachusetts sent a commission to Canada in1714 to arrangefor ransoming theEnglish prisoners there; MajorJohnStoddard being at the head of it and Captain Thomas Baker a member- being famousnow from his leadership of the Indian campaignin the White Mountain region, in which he secured the scalp of the famous Indian Sachem, Wattanummom, and by the deed perpetuated his name forever in Baker River which joins the Pemegewasstt north ofPlymouth, NewHampshire. It was near thejunction of theserivers that the battle withthe Indians took place. Moreover,besides, having the river named for him, the GeneralCourt of Massachusetts gave Baker a reward of ?20, summa cum laude.Captain Baker, with the rest of the Commissioners, was in Montreal in March 1714; they met the prisoners and the officials and commenced negotiations. It does not come withinthescope of my paper to speak further of the negotiations than tosay that ChristineOtis Le Beau then and there met Captain Thomas Baker. She was a handsome widow of twenty-five yeas in thebloom of health, sparkling with wit and womanly attractions; he was abachelor a few years older- tall, stalwart, andhandsome in his military bearing. After they met and exchanged the usual formalities of such and occasion, she resolved inher own mind to returnto New England; he resolved in his mind to rescuethathandsome widow from the thralls of poperyand the hated and detested Frenchmen.Thus matters stood for awhile; negotiations made slow progress. The French would notconsent for her to go; if she went, she must leave her children and lose allof her property. She attempted to smuggle her personal property into a boat to carry them to Quebec- the French priests discovered her work and tookeverythingfrom the boat.About this time in the negotiation, Capt. Baker was ordered by Major Stoddard toreturn toBoston and report progress and ask for further instructions. He attended to these duties and returned. The French continued as obstinateas ever in their refusal to let the captives go. The Caption and the widow helda council of war;she decidedto leave her children and all her property, except her wearing apparel and what she could carry in her hands. They secretly embarked on a boat and started on the voyage to Quebec, where MajorStoddard and other Commissioners were then stationed, Just imagine that trip of 160 miles in an ordinary boat! Talk about romance! Why romance pales before the true story of the heroism ofthis woman who so loved Old Dover which she had seen onlyas a babe, and so loved the gallant captain, that sheforsook allandtrusted her life and her fortune to his care, It is easyenough to look back over 175 years, but what a struggle it musthavebeen for her to look ahead sixty years.Major Stoddard chronicles their arrival at Quebec in the summerof 1714; later they sailed with others for Boston, where they arrived 21 September of that year.From Boston she accompanied theCaptain to Deerfield, and good Parson Stoddard took her in hand and soonmade a good protestant of her.He rebaptized her with her baby name Margaret, and took her into the church.The townspeoplebecameinterested in her welfare and enthusiasticin the praise of her noble qualities. December 14, 1714, the town granted hera valuable lot of land on the condition that she marry Capt. Thomas Baker.She accepted the landand the conditions.They were married in 1715 andset up housekeeping and farming in Deerfield; they remained there two years, leading a peaceful, quiet and happy life. Their first child was born June 5, 1716; in due time ParsonStoddard christened it Christine,having previouslybaptized the mother by her baby name of Margaret.In 1717 they removed from Deerfield to Brookfield where they resided on their farm until 1732. In 1718 she made a trip to Canada with the object inview of getting her French children and bringing them to New England.Her efforts were unsuccessful. The Romish priestswould not permit herto see them, much less bring them away; on the other hand, they tried to persuade her to staythere. She wouldnot listen to them and so returned grievedin heart, but determined inspirit. The women are few who could have endured what she did and not yield to the wily talk of the priests.In 1719 Capt. Baker was elected Representativeat the General Courtof Massachusetts by the freemen of Brookfield, being the first toserve that town. He served his town in that and various capacities,honorably and ably during the next ten years. It was in this town that mostof their children were born; one ofwhom became oneofDover?s most distinguished men, Col. Otis Baker.In 1727, Christine received a letter from the prelate whohad been her priest in Canada, in which he urged her to return there and reunited with the Romish Church,presenting many theological reasonswhy he thought she ought to do so.Insteadof returning to Canada, she turned the letter over to Gov. Burnetand he wrote an elaborate answer to the theological statements of the priest; both the letter andthe Governor?s answer are inprint in the Massachusetts archives of thatperiod. The Governor had the best of the argument, as you all cansee by reading the letter and the answer. The Kanuc priest never ventured a reply, nor made further endeavors to get her back to Canada.In 1732 they sold their Brookfield property, which wasa comfortable estate to a speculator, who in some way cheated them out of the whole amount ofthe sale, and left Capt. Baker and his family in very straightened circumstances.They livedawhile at Mendon, and next at Newport, Rhode Island. On account of the high standing of Captain Baker and his wife, the general court of Massachusetts very generously aided them to help them recover their fortunes. The Court was furthermore inclined to do this asCaptain Baker?shealth hadgiven out so that hecould not do any hard work that required manual exertion. The Court granted Christine 500 acresof valuable land in York County, Maine. Shesold this land for ahandsome sumof money with which she builtahouseinDovertowhich they removed in1734.Thishouse stood at the cornerof Silver Street and Central Avenue,where now is the brick block. After she had built and furnished it, she petitioned the general court of New Hampshire for a license to keep apublic house, whichpetition can be found in theunpublished ProvincialPapers of New Hampshire. Here she kept a public house for many years, and prospered in her business affairs, although her husband was an invalid all the rest of his years, until his death in 1753whileon a visit tofriends inRoxbury, Massachusetts. The record says he died of ?the lethargy?, which I supposed the doctors in the twentieth century would call apoplexy.Christine died February 23, 1773, aged85 years,andherremainswere interred in the Col.Baker burial loton Pine Hill. I know not whether the spot can now be found; be that as it may, a marker of some kind ought to be placed near the spot- if not on her grave, so that futuregenerations may knowandhonor the spot.Her record inDover is ofthe best. Her house was a model of neatness, comfort and good cooking. When the Royal Governorspassed through Dover they honored themselvesby calling at her tavern; theyalways left withafeeling of good cheer and the highest respect fortheirhostess.May 11, 1735 she united with the First Church, Parson Cushing being pastor. She remained a devout member of this organization tothe end of her life; during herlast few years she wasaninvalid, but all her wants were kindly administeredtoby herson Col. Otis Baker and his family, Rev. Dr. Belknap, who was then pastor gaveher that spiritualconsolation which her four score years must have made her greatly enjoy;and when she closedher eyelids forever atfour score and five,he performed thelast sadritesover her remains.Her son, Col. Otis Baker, lived in a house that he built severalyears before theRevolution where the Whidden house now stands atthe cornerof Silverand Atkinson streets. Of course,then Atkinson Street did not exist andSilverStreet wassimply the Barrington Road. It was in this house that Christine Baker passed her old age; Dr. Belknap was her next door neighbor, living wherenow is theBelknap School House.Several members of this Society are relatives of her; allof the Bakerfamily in Dover are her descendants. Her career as a whole is undoubtedly the mostremarkable of anyDover woman previousto theRevolution.Dover People in the past havebeeninclinedto make too little account of heir heroes and heroines, while they looked up to those in Massachusetts because great writers and lecturers and Boston newspapers have for a hundred years continually talkedaboutthem and their great deeds. Even the heroine Mrs. Baker is rarelyspoken of by Massachusettswritersas aDoverwoman, though forty yearsof her life were passed here; and here her distinguishedson and grandsonlived, and their worthy descendants.Her husband, Capt. Thomas Baker,seems not to have taken an activepart in public affairs after he cametoDover. He was broken in health before coming here, and appears to have been an invalid during the nearly twenty years he lived here, coming in 1734 and dying in 1753. He assisted his wife in running the tavern, but fromthe first it washer tavern, nothis. Hisrecord during his vigorous years isthat of an active and honorable man and hewas heldin highesteem by theauthorities in Massachusetts, as was also his wife.There ought to be a marker placed on the brick block at thecorner of Silver Street andCentralAvenue, designating that as the spot where Christine Otis Baker kept a tavern.Thereasonshe hadto petition the General Court to grant hera license to keep a public houseis supposed to be thatthe Selectmen ofthe town refused to grantitbecause theyfavored the proprietors of the old Dover Hotel. You see, theofficials of Dover one hundredand seventy years ago were not so much superior to those of the modern city; they were afraid Mrs. Baker would hurtthe business of old resident.But theGeneral Courtgave her the required license and she kepta first class old-fashioned tavern.This historical essay is provided free to all readers as an educational service.

This Rose was the daughterof Stephen Otis and Mary Pitman, the granddaughter of Richard.Descendants ofFrancoise "Rozotty" Otis may find the following article interesting:Excerpt from Foster's Daily Democrat, Dover, NH, Wednesday Evening, June 28,1989:"A Tercentennial Story by Jim Aldrich, Special to the Democrat"An eleven year old Dover girl taken captive by Abenaki Indians 300years ago this summer -- and whose exact identity has always been a mystery-- has now been identified by a Canadian nun researching her family history. The Abenaki seized the child in the June 28, 1689, raid on Cocheco, now downtown Dover, New Hampshire, in what was the opening attack of the five French and Indian Wars."TheIndians carried her across the vast northern New England wilderness to Canada where she was raised by a French family in a small village near the City of Quebec. She married there seven years later as a comely bride of 18, and spent therest of her life in New France, much of it at a time when New England andNew France were at war."Although she has been well known by her French name, her precise English identity hasremained a mystery to historians and genealogists alike. That is, until now."The discovery by Sister Annette Potvin of Edmonton, Alberta,made in the course of family research, clearsup the mystery and establishes for the first time the true parental identity of "Francoise Rozotty," the name of the captive as it appears onan ancient French document."The puzzle began over a hundredyears ago when 19th Century researchers, seeking to discover the fate of hundreds of New Englanders carried captive during the 74 years of the French andIndian wars, found the name "Rozotty" on a Canadian marriage certificate. The certificate, writtenby the cure of the parish in Beauport adjacent to Quebec, certifies that on October 26, 1696, he married Jean Poitevin of nearby Charlesbourg and Francoise Rozotty, "English girl, living since her childhood in this parish.""The priest goes onto note that Francoise had been "brought from Boston, her native country, by the savages." Boston, in the parlance of 17th Century New France, included muchof Maine and New Hampshire, territory claimed at one time or another by the Provinceof Massachusetts Bay."Just about everyone in that region was known to the French as "Bastonnais", so far reaching was the political power of Puritan Boston. Francoise Rozotty's age at the time of hercapture was established by the record of her death in 1729, listing her then as 52 years of age. This meant she was born about 1677 or perhaps 78, the way the calender was thenarranged elevenyears before the 1689 attack. It did not take much imagination for researchers to see in the name of FrancoiseRozotty, first a French name of Christian baptism, then an English name of Rose Otis."Anyone familiar with the captivity narrativesknew the name "Otis" and immediately associated it with Dover. There were so many members of this family captured, or killed, in earlyIndian warfare that the name became almost synonymous with captivity itself. But there was a catch. The original Rose Otis of Dover had been dead for about 15 years when the Abenaki attack was launched against the five Dover garrisons. Moreover, she had been born in 1629, much too early to be 11 years old at the time of the raid. The names fitted,but the dates did not."Who, then was the Rose Otis with the odd, almost Italianate name of Rozotty on the Canadian records? In order toadequately answer that question, we must first go to the original Rose, even thoughshe was long dead whenthe Rose Otiswho became Francoise Rozotty, was taken captive. The first Rose was Rose Stoughton Otis who came from England to Boston as a 14year-old girl in 1643 when civil war raged between Puritans and royalists in old England. She wasarelative of the influential and Puritan Stoughton family of Boston, and there, it was thought, she would be safe from the dangers she might face in war-torn England."In Boston, or its immediate surroundings, Rose Stoughton met and married,about1649, Richard Otis, then a24 year-old blacksmith, four years her senior, and with a promising future. He had been born in Glastonbury, England, and probably had not been very long in the American colonies. About 1655 Richard moved hissmallbut growing family from Bostonto Cocheco where his talents might be profitably employed in shoeing the hundreds of oxen needed in the then fast developing Piscataqua mast tradethat right up to the American Revolution kept "His Majesty's ships" afloat and sailing on the high seas."Among their several children born inCocheco was a daughter Rose, obviously named for her mother. Young Rose andher sisters were made captives when the French supported Abenaki attack againstDover camein the pre-dawn darkness of that fateful Friday in 1689."French records of the day reveal that the gunpowder, and perhaps weapons used in the attack, were French supplied. The governor general of New France later claimed credit for the "success" of the raid andthe rest of the Abenaki attacksin Maine and New Hampshire later that summer."Shortly after their capture, Rose and her sisters were rescued from the retreating, Canada bound savages, near Conway, New Hampshire."This Roselater married one of her rescuers, John Pinkham of Dover Pointand settled down to raising a family of her own."Who, then, was the Canadian Francoise Rozotty? She was, obviously, neithermother nor daughter, the first being dead andthe second never having set foot in New France. Researchers were puzzled."Anotherpossibility arose. After his wife's death, which probably occurred before 1675, Richard Otis married again, sometime prior to November of 1677. Some researchers havespeculatedthat after Widower Otis wedded Widow Shuah (sometimes Susanna or Anna)Heard,he fathered a child whom they named Rose. New Englanders were known to do such things. Child mortality rates were so high that parentsgave morethanone childthesame name, in hopes of assuring the name's perpetuationinto future generations as sortof"nominal" immortality."A child born early in the marriage of Richard and Shuah would have been age 52 in 1729, as stated on the record ofFrancoise's death. It was a tempting thought and one supported by a number of persons."Other researchers,however, speculated that this was not the case at all, that the Rose Otis carried to Canada was grandchild of RichardOtis, perhaps throughRichard Otis Junior, like his father a blacksmith but located at DoverPoint somemiles from Cocheco wherethe raidtook place. This was the thought of Emma Coleman when in 1925 she published in Portland, Maine,her authoritative two-volume study "New England Captives Carried to Canada." This work was the result of a lifetime of research, much of it as an understudytothat other devoted student of the fate of New England captives, C Alice Baker, whose book, "New EnglandCaptives Carriedto Canada,' -intrigued so many New Englanders when published in 1897. Francis Parkman, Boston's celebrated historian of the French and Indian wars, told Alice Baker, "we are all your debtors" - a ringing tribute to her research."Together, these two women poured over the Canadian and New England records, year after year, threading the captivity stories into an assembled patchwork of history, as lived by persons who would have beentheir friends and neighbors, hadtheylived inanotherera."Coleman, in considering the Francoise Rozotty story, wrote: "Rose died 7 July 1729, and two years later Jean Poitevin, sometimescalled Laviolette, took another wife. But who was (this) Rose Otis? Probably a granddaughterof RichardofDover.Shehas been called his daughter, but did he have two named Rose? One married John Pinkham in New England"."In the 64 years sinceColeman publishedher work, no one known to this writer has come any closer to answeringthequestion, "Who wasFrancoise Rozotty?" We know littleof Francoise, only that in 1702 she still was "living in the region ofQuebec", and was awarded. .30 "livres" (pounds) of theKing's money, that in 1710 she became a naturalized citizen of New France, that sheandJean Poitevinintheir 33 years of marriage had 10 children, and that when she died on July 7, 1729, she was 52 years of age."From the origin ofher name and periodof captivity, we can conclude that she had been one of the 29human souls,most of them womenand children, who on the rain swept Friday morning of 1689 had trudged out of their burning town, acrid smoke in their nostrils, their hands probably laced behind them withrawhide, circulation cut off at the wrists, tiedbytheirnecks one to the other ina long line, prodded by spears, stumbling, their hearts heavywith grief and their eyes wet with tears, facing a long march into a grave andforbidding unknown. Most of what they loved was dead or burning.As the sun rose behind the clouds and the lastmusket shots were firedat the one hold-out garrison, the 250 Indians involved inthe raid hustled their captives at a hurried pace along the Cart Way,the town's main thoroughfare, northward into thewilderness and on toward Canada. Lookat CentralAvenue today and picture the scene. Among the captives was this tearful, 11 year-old child, barefoot and frightened. Death and carnage lay abouther, herfather probably killedat her feet, hermother with him, or, likeher children, tied to the string of departing humanity."We come now to the answer to the 300 year question. It does, however, require some further background to be understood.RichardOtisSenior had builttwo houses after he and Rose and their firstborn children came from Boston to Dover, those 34 years before the raid. Both structures are clearly visible on a circa 1680 map of the Piscataqua region."The firstwas on ariseof landoffwhatisnow Central Avenue, then called the Cart Way. The second was built across the way near what is now the intersection of Milk Street and the avenue. Its foundations were uncovered during an excavation early in thiscentury. Items found there are nowwith the Woodman Institute in Dover. Richard probably gave the first houseto his son, Steven, probably upon completion of the second home."The son's name is often spelled "Stephen", but for purposes that will becomeclear, wewill stay with"Steven". In1674 Steven married Mary Pitman, daughter ofWiliam Pitmanof nearbyOysterRiver, today's Durham. They had,it is known, sons Steven and Nathaniel, and a daughter Mary. Until nowthere has been no records of other children. About 1684,probablyin the spring and summer thereof, the elder Otis' new home and blacksmith shopwere surrounded by a tall stockade, and fortified."Several militia were probably stationed there, on a rotating basis. The palisade did nogood. Whentheattackcame five years later,Richard Otis was killed, as was his two-year-olddaughter, Hannah.So washisson Steven, and others, many unknown. Most of the 23 deaths in the raid probably occurred at theOtis and the nearby Waldron garrisons.Members of both Richard'sand son Steven'sfamilies were made captive.We do not knowwhat happened to Steven'swifeMary. She too may have died in the attack, or have been carriedcaptive.Their two sons, Steven and Nathaniel, boys whencaptured, latermarried in New France and spent the rest of their lives there."What does all of this have to do, onemight ask, with Francoise Rozotty Poitevin? A great deal."In early January of this year, Sister Annette Potvin wrote to Robert Whitehouse, president of Dover'sNorthamColonists, thecity'shistorical society. Could he help her,she asked, trace the parentage of her captive English forebear, Rose Otis of Dover, who became Francoise Rozotty on the Canadian records?"Whitehouse sent the letter on to this writer whomhe has helped for the pastnineyears in a study ofseveralmembers of the Otis family and the Abenaki raid on Dover. An examination of nine years of recordsrevealed the expected: Materialwasavailable onother members of the Otis family, but researchhad not turned up much on Francoise Rozotty. What we had,we mailed off to Edmonton, but it did not adequately address Sister Potvin's question. Sister Potvincontinued her studyof the oldCanadian records. Then in mid-February --fast as historical research usually goes -- camea letter from her, dated the 12th of the month. Enclosed were a photocopy and a typed versionof an until then unknown, French language, marriage contract-- not well known and already heavily pored over marriage certificate -- between Jean PoitevinandFrancoise Rozotty, dated three days before their marriagein1696 and spelling the rest ofFrancoise's name, notas "Rozotty" butclearly as"Rosotis.""But, there was more. A part of that marriage contract,in translation reads:"Francoise Rosotis, daughter ofdeceased Stinodis, and of deceased Mary Otos,her father and mother, of English birthin the environs of Boston...." Afterthree hundred years, yet another bit of that 1689 raid on Dover had fallen into place.The parental identity of the captive RoseOtis, long lost to history, was nowon the record.Theyears of speculation were gone.It was a moment that Alice Baker andEmma Coleman would enjoy."Sister Potvin, like any cautious researcher,wrote:"Now, ifthis is correct, if Francoise's mother is Mary, then Stinodis may be Stephen (Steven) Otis. Weshould be aware that for theFrench who did not know English, names like Steven and Rose Otis were mysteries. "If Francoise said that her father's name were Steven, the (French) Notary (whodrew up the marriage contract) wrote what sounded tohim as Stin. In Frenchthe "i" is pronounced like the English "e". He forgotor missed the "v" but the "n" standing for "en" (in Steven), is there."Such misspellings of English names were not uncommonamong French"notaires", village priestsand other drafters of officialdocuments. Thename"Otis", for instance, has had no less than eight major variations on theFrench records. As Emma Coleman listed them: Otheys, Oteys, Otesse, Autes, Hautesse,Hotesse, Rozotty, and Thys. Wemay nowadd: Odisand Otos. Toencounter"Steven Otis"as "Stinodis," (pronounced Stee en odis, with aFrench inflection) should therefore come as no surprise."The fact the Steven'sname in the marriage contract is associated with thenameofhis wife,"Mary Otos," makes the conclusion that thesetwo Doverites were Francoise's parents, almost inescapable."Coleman said of her work with Alice Baker that "the phonetic spelling of the (French) registrars (of Englishnames) made guessing imperative." There isnot much to guess athere; it is allquite clear.Many New Englanders didn't spell their own names as well."Undoubtedly Sister Potvin's analysis, despite her caution, is correct. Francoise Rozotty - or RoseOtis - was the 11-year-olddaughter of Richard Otis Senior's sonStevenand Steven's wife, Mary Pitman Otis of Durham, when she was taken captive in this first assault of the first of the French and Indian wars."The original RoseOtis - a refugee fromwar-torn England,and the firstwife of theDover blacksmith - was hergrandmother. Six years after Francoise's death, the name of the Dover captive showed once again on the Canadian records. On November 14, 1735,as Sister Potvinnotes in her February 12 letter, "MichelPotvin, son ofJean Poitevin andRose Otice"marriedat Petite Riviere St. Francois Sister Povin plans a book on her early Canadian family. Perhaps it will tell us more of old Dover - so deeply interlaced, even then, werethe lives ofthe people ofNew FranceandNew England."(I'm includingthe Editor's note: "The writer was a reporter and later managing editor of this newspaper. He is semi-retired from the U.S. Information Agency in Washington, DC,and resides in Woodbridge, Virginia. His interestin Dover history stems fromyears of"localhistory talks" with the late Philip C. Foster, his editor and an enthusiastic student of Dover's past.") | OTIS, Rose "Francoise" (I60609)

! Marriage with Anne Herd The first available information regarding S?bastien Cholet since his arrival in Canada is to be found in the records of Notre-Dame parish in Montreal, dating back to October 19th 1705. According to the wedding contract by the Sulpician priest Yves Prat, he married on that day Ann Heard, a young English girl born in 1681 at Cocheco in New England, near the actual city of Dover in New Hampshire. She was the daughter of Benjamin Heard and Elizabeth Roberts.At the time of Count Louis de Buade Frontenac, Governor of New France, the relations with New England were very tense. Let us recall the massacre of Lachine in 1689 and Phipps' coming in front of Quebec, also in 1689. Both sides would organize raids in the enemy's territory which resulted in massacres and hostage takings. In the course of such a raid carried out by Indians called Loups and by Canadians, Ann Heard was captured on January 26th 1692 and brought back to Montreal as a prisoner. She was entrusted to the master-gunsmith Pierre Prud'homme and his wife. She was baptized and confirmed on April 10th at the church of Notre-Dame in Montreal. Her godfather was the surgeon Jean Martinetdit Fonblanche and her godmother Anne Ch?les, the wife of Pierre Prud'homme. No other information concerning her is available except that divulged at the time of her wedding with S?bastien Cholet because nothing has been disclosed about their frequentations !On October 17th 1705, two days prior to their marriage, the future spouses appeared before notary* Adhemar for their wedding contract.Doubtless to spare possible difficulties for the future wife, the notary included the following clauseto the effect that they were contracting marriage according to the usual custom of Paris. According to that custom, a stranger who had been naturalized, and all his or her children born outside thecountry, lost the favour of the king if they wentandlived outside the country :* Before presenting the clause referred to above, one might mention that under French law, and in the province of Quebec even today, the notary is the person entitled to legalize deeds or contracts between different parties. Lawyers are not authorized to receive such deeds. The excerpts of the different contracts which are presented below were written in old French and contain many abbreviations. They are difficult to interpret in French and more so when translatedinto English,so that a very liberal interpretation will be presented rather than a literal one."The future spouses will share in common all the goods, personal and immovable,that they will have acquired together during their marriage, accordingtothe customs of the city of Paris which the said spouses promise to observe, even if they were to move to otherprovinces where the laws and regulations would be contraryto the customs of Paris".In this marriage contract the family name of thebride iswritten as "herde". In the numerous subsequent acts, especially in the baptismal certificates, the name "Heard" caused many headaches to their authors, the missionaries and priests inparticular. Thus, when Marie-Anne-Joseph was baptized on February 27th 1711, Father Fran?ois Vachon deBelmont wrote the name of the mother simply as "Marie-Anne", without any family name. On March 25th 1714 the parishpriest of Pointe-Claire, Father Pierre Levasseur, wrote down in the parochial records"Marie-Anne Anglaise", indicating that he could not spell her name but that she wasEnglish. On January 24th 1717 Father Pierre-?lie D?peret wrote down hername as "Marianne Anaherde". At least this time Ann and Heard were combined of some sort. Later,in1719and in 1720 he inscribed the name as "Marie Anaherde". No doubt with the intention of putting an end to all the difficulties, Father Jean-Baptiste Breul who wasthen parish priest of Pointe-Claire decided that from 1721 onward Marie-Anne Herd wouldbe known as Marie-Anne Pr?vost. It would be easier to write and that was the name that she kept afterward.Perhaps the best way toknow how to write the name "Heard" is to refer to page 321 of the Encyclopedia of Maineand New Hampshire where the name isindeed written as "Heard" . There can be no doubt as to the identity because the name of the father, Benjamin, is mentioned as well as that of Ann, born in 1681.The wedding took place on October 19th, the ceremony being carried out bythesulpician priest Henry-Antoine M?riel. Among those present was Philippe Robitaille, husband of Madeleine Warren a nativeofDover in New Hampshire. She was no doubt a friend of the bride and captured at the same time in 1692.It can be notedthatmanypersons werecaptured at the time in New England and brought back to Canada where they settled and founded families.Inhis book De la Nouvelle-Angleterre ? la Nouvelle-France Marcel Fournier testifies to that effect : "Four hundred and fifty five warprisoners or captives of Amerindians and the French come from New England and theAmerican colonies.Most became integrated in the population of Quebec, their ancestors having been baptized by missionaries and brought up in French speaking families". There werealsopresent at the ceremony, Nicolas Jenvrin, Jean Lacroix, Jean Herv? and the grand-vicar Fran?ois Vachon de Belmont".The newlyweds settled in Montreal, on Saint-Paul street. Thanks to well kept documents, more particularly religiousrecords andnotarial documents, it is possible now to obtain some information concerning the life and activities of our ancestors. Such is the contract of May 14th 1706, drawn up by notary Adhemar : "Rental lease by Jean Caillault toS?bastien Cholet". It isinteresting to reproduce its first lines :"Was present Mr. Jean Caillaud,freeman living in this city, who recognized and confessed having leased by the present, for an amount of money, beginning on the first day of next October and for anensuing periodof nine consecutive years, and promises that during that periodBastien Chollet dit Laviolette and Jean Herve dit Lalibert?, weavers both living in this city, will have the full usage of the property ?"One can note that S?bastien Cholet has become "Bastien Chollet" to which was added the surname Laviolette,as in his wedding contract. He is also described as a weaver as in many of his subsequent deeds. Could he have learnt this trade before his departure from France, in the townof Choletwhichis wellrenowned for its famous weavingmills ? andthe well known handkerchiefs from Cholet ? According to this lease the price of the rental was 180 pounds per year payable in halves at intervals of six months.There must have beensome flaws in that deed because the length ofnine years specified was cut short to only four days !The following year, onJanuary 20th 1707, another deed by notary Adhemar : "Sale by Jean R?gnier to S?bastien Cholet". It was in important deed anddeserves that thefirst partbereproducedas follows :Was present Jean Reynier dit Brion, inhabitant of this city, who voluntary recognized and confessed having sold and hereby sells, quits, transports and leaves at once and has promisedand promisesthat there will be no troubleswith respect to debts, mortgages, evictions and other impediments in general. To S?bastien Chollet weaver living at the said Ville Marie who hereby accepts as buyer for himself, his dependants at presentand inthefuture.A piece of landsituated on theshore of Lake Saint-Louis, above Lachine, commonly known as the large bay, the area of which (the piece of land) is sixty acres, three acres wide by twenty in depth, without any buildings and as it is. The saidbuyeracknowledges that heknowsthe place because he has seen and visited it. He is satisfied and will not seek to claim anythingfrom the said seller of the whole piece of land, one end of which borders on Lake Saint-Louis andaway from standing trees. Theother endborderson the unsoldlands of the Noblemen of this Isle. The neighbour on oneside is Mathurin Chartier dit Lamarche and on the other side ? Dubois dit ? The said seller owns the land because he bought it fromLafaye as per the deed prepared by theundersigned notary ?Itwas an important purchase of a piece of land, three acres bordering on Lake Saint-Louis by twenty in depth, at a place which became Pointe-Claire later on. The lack of buildings on that piece ofland,boughtin1707,explainswhy the Cholet family waited until 1714 to go and live there. In other respects, themention of the two neighbours Chartier on one side and Dubois on the other will be helpful later on.Four years went by before S?bastien Choletwas partto an another deed which took place on July 11th 1711. It consists in a sale by the Noblemen of Montreal, (the Sulpician priests), toS?bastien Cholet. It was the first of three deeds with the same heading and the preamble of each deed readapproximately as follows :In the presence of theroyalnotary of the Isle of Montreal in New France, resident of Villemarie and undersigned, was present Sir Fran?ois Vachon de Belmont, one of the priests of the Seminary ofSaint-Sulpice in Paris, superior oftheclergymen of the seminary ofVillemarie,procurator of Sir Fran?ois Lechassier, priest, doctor of theology of the faculty of Paris, superior of the clergymen of the seminary of Saint-Sulpice of Paris who arethe noblemenownersof the said IsleofMontrealand other places, who(Vachon de Belmont) is assisted by Leonard Chaigneau, procurator and purser of the said clergymen in Villemarie, has recognized and confessedhaving leased and sold, right now and forevertoS?bastien CholetteditLaviolette weaver now present who accepts to buy ?Through thisdeed S?bastien Cholet bought a piece of land forty feet wide only on Notre Dame street, in the direction of Coteau Saint Louis. Was it his intention to build thererather than on the land he had boughtin 1707 ? The answer came two years later onSeptember 11th 1713 when in a deed drawn up by notary P. Raimbault he sold the same piece of land to Vincent Tudault, miller.Duringthat time S?bastien Choletand AnnHeard had five children whowere all baptized in the church ofNotre Dame in Montreal. Theywere :Marie-Anne, on July 26th 1706. Godfather : Jean Herv? dit Lalibert?, soldier of Blainville, godmother : Marie Benoist. Marie-Annewas married on January 14th 1726 in Pointe-Claire to Jean-Baptiste Legault, son of No?l and of Marie M?nard oftheparish of Lachine.Jean-Baptiste, on November 5th 1707. Godfather : Jean Renier, weaver, and godmother : SuzanneSire. He was married inPointe-Claire on October 11th 1728 to Marianne Foucher, daughter of Martin and of Marie-Madeleine Par?.Marie-Marthe, on July 6th 1709. Godfather : Sir Jean-Baptiste Montremont and godmother: Marthe-Marguerite French, daughter ofThomas French,a former notary in Deerfield, inNew England. It may be noted here that Deerfield was oneof the targets of the numerousraids carried out by Indians and Canadians in New England. The attack on Deerfield tookplace onFebruary 29th 1704, or onMarch 11th according to the Gregorian calendar. It wasno doubt themosttragic and barbaric. There were 112 prisoners,among whichmany women and children, who had to undertake an arduous walk towardMontreal, in snow and by cold weather. Manycould not support the journey and died on the way. Many of thosewhosurvived remained in Canada and becamethe ancestors ofa great manydescendants. Marie-Marthe was married inPointe-Claire on July 9th1731 to Jean-Baptiste Th?oret, son ofthe lateJacques Th?oret and of Marie Roy.She died and was buried in Pointe-Claire on January 21st 1748.Marie-Anne-Joseph, on February 27th 1711. Godfather : Master Louis-Hector Duvivier and godmother :MargueritePrud'homme.She was buried inMontreal on January 18th 1712.Joseph-S?bastien, on January 24th 1713.Godfather : Jean-BaptisteDagueuil and godmother : Mrs.Lericogne, widow.This is how the Choletfamily lived in Montreal until1714 when theybecame residents of Pointe-Clairewhere they continued tobe active. | CHOLET, Sebastien (I25327)
