    "l. Carter, Samuel, supposed by Savage and Judd to have been a son of Joshua (2); a recent discovery of old letters among his descendants, seems to prove that he was born in London abt. 1665, whence he was enticed by the captain of a ship, abt. 1677, and landed in Boston; he was one of those who came here on the permanent sett., and was prominent in the affairs of the town; his family was broken up in 1704 and the next year he rem. to Norwalk, Ct.; in a petition to the Gen. Court of Ct., May 8, 1707, Samuel Carter recites that: 'The French and Indians rifled his house, destroyed his cattle, killed his wife and three of his children carrying four of them into captivity, whereof one was redeemed by paying £24 borrowed money. The Court judged his case called for charity of the good people of the towns of New Haven and Milford and also in the several towns in the County of Fairfield, and a brief was ordered him;' he d. Sept., 1728. He m. Dec. 4, 1690, Mercy, dau. William Brooks; she d. Jan. 22, 1700; (2) July 1, 1701, Hannah, dau. John Weller; cap. 1704, and k. on the fifth day's march towards Canada; (3) Jan., 1706, Lois Sention; she d. Jan. 12, 1752, a 83."

    A list of captives taken 29 Feb 1703/04 from Deerfield, taken to Canada, made by Rev. Stephen Williams, who was one of the captives as a young man, includes Hannah Carter, Hannah Carter jun., Mercy Carter, Samuel Carter [son], John Carter, Ebenezer Carter, and Marah Carter. Notations indicate that Hannah, Hannah jr., and Marah were killed after taken captive, and that Mercy, Samuel, and John did not return. Only Ebenezer is shown returning "to their native country". Thomas Carter is shown in a different list, killed in town.
