(from a paper by Prof. Roger Lawrence of the Canadian-American Genealogical Soc., Manchester, N. H.)

" He must have been ransomed from the Indians because Parkman wrote he " married first a french, after a dutch woman, and settled in Husbandry (evidently an occupation, not a location) on some good Land, a little way off from Montreal, on the North side of the great River; has hed (sic) a good Farm there for many years (as we have been certifyd)."
