1677

Wednesday, September 19, 1677
Quentin Stockwell, while re-building his house burned by Indians the year before, was seized and carried, with 17 others, captive to Canada. At Chambly, they were kindly treated by the French who gave them hasty-pudding and milk with brandy and bathed their frozen limbs. From Sorel they were scattered among the Indians but the next year, all but three were redeemed. Stockwell, in 1679, removed from Hatfield to Suffield, Conn.
