Biography
Nathaniel married Mary Williams in 1696[1] and they had two children by the time the Deerfield Raid in 1704 took place.
Nathaniel and his first wife (Mary Williams) and two children (William and Mary) were taken in the raid on Deerfield, MA 1704. His wife Mary was killed and the two children were never redeemed, but were left in Canada. Nathaniel was redeemed and married another redeemed captive Mary Allis, who is the mother of Moses Brooks Sr.[2]
Nathaniel's wife, only 31 and pregnant with their third child would end up being murdered on the march to Canada on 7 Mar 1704. The fate of their two young children, taken as captives during the raid is unknown. It is not known whether they died or were integrated in Canada like other children had been. Nathaniel survived the march and was later redeemed.
