(9070) THANKFUL OLMSTED ... m. (Dea.) Timothy Brown, of Ware, Mass. ...
Dea. Timothy Brown who m. Thankful Olmsted was captured by the Indians May 6, 1746, and taken to Canada. He with a soldier named Robert Moffatt had left the fort at Swanzey to go to Keene when they were set upon by a party of Indians. Both were soon released and returned, but Deacon Brown and his family soon removed to Ware, Mass., where he owned a farm adjoining that of his father-in-law, Capt. Jabez Olmsted. He lived in Ware about ten years before he returned to Swanzey to reside.
