    Nathaniel Brooks [#3] m. (1) Mary, d/o Zebediah Williams. Family captured by Indians 1703/4 and taken to Canada. "On the eighth day's march towards Canada, she went to Mr. Williams, her minister, and told him she had been disabled by a fall on the ice, causing a miscarriage during the night, and that she should 'not be able to travel far, and I know they will kill me to-day; but God has by his spirit, with his word, strengthened me to my last encounter with death. I am not afraid of death. I can, through the grace of God, cheerfully submit to the will of God. Pray for me that God would take me to himself.' They parted and she went calmly to certain death, Mar. 7, 1704.
