Sarah is daughter by first wife whose name is not known. Thomas m. (2) by August, 1672 Margaret, widow of Thomas Watkins. Thomas was an early settler at Pejepscot, now Brunswick, Maine where he took the Oath of Allegiance 8 Sept 1665. He served on the grand jury there in 1665 & 1666; had a retail license in 1665; in 1670 witnessed an Indian deed and on 26 Nov 1672 witnessed another (co-witnessed by his wife Margaret). His dealings with the American Indians began by January, 1670 when he held a large tract at North Yarmouth, Maine, purchased from them. He had other land dealings with them. The Indian War of 1676 forced him to flee with his family to Dorchester, Mass., destitute. Thomas remained in Mass. - Boston, 1681-82, and Milton, 1683 - then returned to Maine. During the next frontier war, 1689, all trace of Thomas and Margaret vanishes - we assume they were killed. See "Genealogical Dictionary of ME & NH," by Noyues, Libby and Davis, p. 659-60. [Note: another Thomas Stevens b. ca. 1623 was apparently sailing for MA in 1635, was at Boston in 1648 and had daughter Sarah (b. 8 Dec 1663) - see "Penobscot Pioneers," Philip Howard Gray (Camden: Penobscot Press, 1992), p. 99.]
From: John & Patsy Stevens (stevensj@biddeford.com) 23 June 1998: THOMAS STEVENS OF PEJEPSCOT, MAINE 1657 - The earliest date we have for Thomas Stevens who settled in Pejepscot is Dec. 9, 1657. It is on this date that Thomas Stevens purchased land from Derumbin and Abanhaman, Sagamore Indians. The deed for this purchase was never registered at York Co. However, the purchase is described in a deed written for the sale of this land by Thomas & Margaret Stevens to Kellond & Hobby on Sept. 6, 1681. Thomas acknowledged the deed on Sept. 12, 1681 and Margaret acknowledged the same in Boston on July 31, 1682. Kellond & Hobby in turn did not register the deed until May 8, 1739. York Co. Deed 21 : 59 states in part :
"Thomas Stevens of Kennebec River, New England Planter .... the said Thomas Stevens & Margaret, his wife .... in consideration of a valuable sum of money to them in hand... paid by Thomas Kellond & William Hobby both of Boston in Massachusetts Colony of New England Merchants ... have granted, bargined sold aliened assigned ... confirm by these presents ... in equal halves. .... two tracts or parcels.

Thomas Stevens acknowledged this instrument to be his act and deed. Sept. 12, 1681 before John Richards. Margaret Stevens acknowledged this instrument to be her act and deed in Boston July 31, 1682 before Humphry Davie. Suffolk ss Boston April 13, 1739. Received and Recorded in the Registry of Deeds by Samuel Gerrish, Registor. A true copy of the original received on May 8, 1739. Attested Jer. Moulton. "
Thomas Stevens is on a list of persons on the west side of the Kennebec River who took the oath of allegiance to the King on July 30, 1666. This record is published in "Maine Prov. & Court Records 1 : 243. Thomas was granted a retail licence on the same day he took O of A, same reference but page 241. According to same ref. p. 312-316, Thomas served on the grand jury in 1665/66. It is interesting to note that an Edward Stevens (presumable the one from No. Yarmouth settlement) and Thomas Stevens sat on the same jury on the 26th of July 1666 concerning Christopher Collins' murder trial. Collins of Black Point (Scarboro) had allegedly killed James Robinson of Black Point but was acquitted. According to York Deed 9: 254, Thomas Stevens purchased land in Pejepscot. This deed was witnessed by James & Thomas Giles and the land was adjacent to the land described above. Thomas Stevens witnessed an Indian Deed in 1670 and another on Nov. 26, 1672 with 2nd wife Margaret, who was the widow of Thomas Watkins {Watkins of Kennebec was of Boston when he had an Indian deed for a place called High Head west of Merrymeeting Bay in 1661. } Watkins' widow, Margaret, apparently married Thomas Stevens by August 1672. In January of 1670, Thomas Stevens had a huge tract of land at Wescustogo { later called North Yarmouth or Casco Bay } See Y.D. 2 : 191 from the Indians (Robinhood and others) . Thomas and Margaret Stevens deeded this land which amounted to a 100 thousand acres (Y.D. 2 : 190) to Gedney and Sayward in 1674, when empowered "loving friend", William Royal to give possession. According to GD of ME & NH, Thomas also called Wm. Royal "brother" {have not been able to substantiate} by another deed he received from the Indians in 1675, for land on the Pejepscot River, which was adjacent to his own land and Allister Coombs. The land running to the carrying path or place. {I have identified this land as the small neck of land separating the New Meadows River from Merrymeeting Bay, sometimes called Wigwam Point at the Whiskeag} Thomas Stevens' land purchased in 1657 was near Thomas Purchase 's land. Both had their homes burned at the onset of the King Phillips' War in 1676. A brief concise history of the Pejepscot Proprietors is contained in a book written by Gordon E. Kershaw, titled: "The Kennebec Proprietors 1749-1775", published by the Maine Historical Society of Portland ME. in 1975. What follows is a summary of the Pejepscot Proprietorship:
Note: On June 18, 1632, Thomas Purchase and his brother-in-law, George Way, were granted the Pejepscot Patent, in 1639, Purchase yielded to Winthrop and conveyed to Massachusetts, with right of citizenship for himself and a tract 4 miles square on both sides of the Androsoggin, except what he might occupy within 7 years. In 1683, Eleazer Way, son of George sold the Pejepscot holdings to Richard Wharton (See YD IV : 18). The size of the patent had been increased by several purchases from the Indians. Wharton died in 1689, coincident with the beginnings of Queen Anne's War. A War characterized by the fiercest of frontier fighting. Interest in this land company declined until 1714, the year following the treaty with France. Wharton's patent fell into the hands of 8 influential merchants who organized as the Company of Pejepscot Proprietors: { Thomas Huthinson, John Wentworth, John Watts, David Jeffries, Adam Winthrop, Steven Minot, Oliver Noyes & John Rusk. In 1719, they proceeded to establish the Towns of Brunswick and Topsham.
Thomas Stevens' name is found on a petition of inhabitants of the Eastern Parts dated May 18, 1672 to be taken under Massachusetts government. List can be found in Maine Historical Collections 5 : 240 and includes settlements at Kennebec, Cape Bonswagen, Damoras Cove, ShepsCott, Pemaquid and Monhegan.
Thomas and family were refugees at Dorchester, Mass shortly after the onset of the First Indian War (King Phillips) ca. 1676. Their Pejepscot home was burned by the Indians (Ref. See Collections of the ME HIST. SOC. VOL I : 315 also { See Potts(1) found in The GD of ME & NH where it states that Thomas Stevens & partner, Richard Potts, bought goods from John Hull in 1678. Hull (5) is described in the GD of ME & NH as a well bred merchant from Boston . The source is unknown and therefore the home base of this partnership is unknown.} GD of ME & NH states Thomas gave Oath of Allegiance at Dorchester on April 21, 1679 and in February of 1680/1, he was age ca. 60 and Margaret age ca. 38, gave deposition that the Indian John Dyer had killed had also attacked their home the same night. Ref. for these two pieces of information uncovered. {John Dyer lived in Braintree after leaving Sheepscot. Dyer killed an Indian who was trying to get into his house and was found guilty of manslaughter on Feb. 3, 1680/81}. Thomas Stevens acknowledged a deed to Kelland & Hobby (See YD 21 : 59) in Boston in September of 1681, wife Margaret acknowledged the same in July 1682. GD of ME & NH states: The family was in distress at Milton in Nov. of 1683. Thomas Stevens was taxed at Milton in 1687 for the preacher. This record found in the Milton Town Records 1667-1727?
The family returned to the Eastern Lands prior to May of 1688, as Thomas Stevens ' name was on a list of militia on the Kennebec River under Capt. John Rowden. See Me. Doc. History 6: 362. It is stated in "History of Woolwich, ME", that in 1688 when Thomas Stevens returned to the Eastern Lands he lived on the land later known as the Alfred Trott place This reference stated he settled there to be near close to his friends Bish and Hornebrooke. The Trott land was on the Eastside of the Kennebec near Chopps Point in Woolwich. Thomas' deposition dated Sep.. 4, 1688 stated he was age ca. 70 and about going from his house by canoe to the home of John Bish's with two of the Bish children, when all were made prisoners by the Indians in the Bish Home. {John Bish was living at Tuessic (Woolwich) in 1688, owning land with Lawrence Dennis. Bish and his family along with Thomas Stevens were captured by the Indians before Sep.. 4th, 1688.} An interesting article found in The Collections and Proceedings of the Maine Historical Society 2nd Series Volume I : 290-294 "The Problem of Hammond's Fort" states in part:
"....When rumors and fear of restlessness among the natives prevailed in the season of 1688, a most impolitic act precipitated the hostilities which it was designed to avert. Justice Blackman of Saco seized some 20 chief Indians for examination and detention till the true posture of affairs should be ascertained. The Indians regarded this as a game in which they also could take a hand, and the Kennebecks at once proceeded to their part of the play. A party came down the river, September 1, probably,--- seized and plundered the "Merrymeeting House", -- doubtless the above blockhouse, --- and took a number of persons as captives, or hostages. Thomas Stevens it is inferred, the settler from whom Steven's river derived its name, had at this time moved to the Kennebec. He was on his way by canoe to the house of John Bisbee {obviously Bish}, who lived on the East side of Long Reach, or Tuessic Neck. As he reached the house, 5 Indians rushed out, seized him, saying he was their prisoner, as also was Bisbe within his house. They told him they did this because Captain Blackman had taken 20 Indians and sent them to Boston, and when those should be returned, theses prisoners should be released. They had already taken Captain Rowdon and John Hornibroke with their wives and children, and had them in custody in the Rowdon's house. To capture the Captain of the Kennebec Militia was a feat worthy of their boasting. The new captives were taken up to Rowdon's and then all but Mrs. Rowdon were sent to Merrymeeting. She was left in her house, and commanded to stay till they could send down a letter, which she must covey to the English authorities. Stevens was told not to be afraid as he would see a great many Indians by and by. At Merrymeeting bay, the captives were welcomed with joyous demonstrations and the firing of guns. In the night, a party of Androscoggins came, and then there were more salutes, shouting, and exultation; ' see how many English servants we have got,' the Indian cried. Captain Rowdon was directed to write the letter, but the messenger sent down with it returned, reporting that Mrs. Rowdon had run away, which led them to inquire if that was English fashion. Casting about for a messenger, they selected Stevens, now nearly 70 years old, saying, ' This old fellow shall go, for he can neither do us good nor hurt,' He judged there were nearly 50 men well-armed with various weapons. Hopehood and Egerement were among them, and the latter sent word to the English, that now they would have time to gather in their corn and cattle, as there would be no more stir till they heard from Boston. Hopehood proposed to have a party call on Mr. Dennis and have him send a demand to the Governor for his 2 sons. The Indians then with their captives retired up River. They regarded themselves as aggrieved by that arrest of their men, and in reprisal had secured these hostages: but their conduct and apparent spirit at this time commends them for self-restraint, and it was highly honorable and considerate to suggest that now the English could freely secure their property before the Indians felt compelled to make war."
"....It is presumed that in a little while all of these captives except, Rowdon, were restored. Hornibroke certainly returned. The Indians were not pacified, but probably took no attitude of further hostility on the Kennebec till spring. And then by reason of the watchfulness of the inhabitants, not many lives were sacrificed. On the 12th of May, 1689, the garrisons left by Andros, abandoned Pejepscot and Fort Ann. A week later the savages swept down on the west of the Kennebec. burning houses and killing cattle. The people had sought the protection of the fortified posts at Newtown & Sagadahoc. A few soldiers helped to hold these places, and earnest pleas were sent to government to reinforce them to remove them all to places of Safety. In June, those at Newtown represented their peril and distress, and reported that they had some 200 cattle and nearly as many swine. It must have been sometime after this, or not later in July, that the houses, all but one, in Newtown were destroyed and the Fort abandoned. "
"... On the 20th of July, ten of the inhabitants, protected by soldiers, going from the fort at Sagadahoc to their possessions on the west side of the river, for cattle, were assailed while in the boats, 6 were killed, three soldiers with John Vereen, William Baker & Charles Hunnewell. Provisions were now becoming scarce, as in the straitness of a siege, and in a few weeks it appears that the people and the soldiers were withdrawn, and the Indians left in undisputed possession of the country for a time."
What is virtually a census of the Pejepscot settlement can be found in an " Account of the Eastern Parts and the several settlements that have ever been made on the lands formerly purchased by Mr. { Richard } Wharton and now bought by 8 of us ....The narrow carrying place that parts Casco Bay from Merry Meeting Bay, settled by STEVENS who has a son now at New Haven who married PARKER'S daughter." { Note : this could be New Town, later Arrowsic on the east side of the Kennebec River - or - could be Newagen, the outer point of Southport Island, near present day Boothbay Harbor, also called Cape Bonswagon. Also note that this account was most likely given ca, 1714, when the heirs of Wharton sold their interest in the Pejepscot patent }. Stevens' land was near what was called the Eastern Side of Small Point Neck at the upper Wiskeag. Richard Wharton had bought the Pejepscot Patent in 1683/4. An examination of the list indicates that the census was of the community prior to or at the onset of King Phillips War (1676), as a good portion of the listees were dead when these eastern lands were re-settled or were living in a different location in 1688/9, for the 2 years that Thomas Stevens returned east.
The end of Thomas and Margaret Stevens is unknown, however his children owned in 6th's and 5 are known:
1. Thomas Stevens : had land with sister, Ann, wife of Lancelot Pierce in Pejepscot from their father, Thomas, in June of 1675. (See YD 9 : 254) Thomas, Jr.: was of Scituate in 1701, when he gave a bond to Robert Cock ; was of Newport, Rhode Island in 1718; was of Boston in 1719 (Coaster) when sued on the Cock note ; and in 1730 when Wm. Pierce of Milton entered an Eastern Claim on his own behalf and on the behalf of his cousin, was of Swansea. His children were :
1. Joseph b. ca 1690, m. Ann Hallowell in Boston in 1711. He was of Boston In 1718, when his father, Thomas, of Newport, RI gave him his half interest in YD 9:254. Joseph sold his interest to Nicholas Buttolph & William Griggs both of Boston on the 19th of August 1718 (See YD 9:256). Joseph removed to Newbury ca. 1719 and settled on land that would eventually be set off to the Town of Newburyport. See Essex Co Deed 51 : 138, where Joseph purchased 1/4 acre on the Merrimac River from Offen Bordman at Newbury on 19 Jan 1721. The deed was recorded on Oct. 10, 1728 and witnessed by William Titcomb and Anthony Somerby. In 1727, Joseph bought from Richard Brown, lots 209, 210 and 211 along the river.{ See Essex Co. Deed 51:141.} Joseph deeded to his son Joseph, Jr. , on 2 Mar. 1750 (94:270). See (118:123) where Joseph Stevens of Newbury.... shipwright.....sells 1/4 acre with all the buildings to Ralph Cross of Newbury, land next to the Merrimac River land next to Offin Boardman on 20 Nov. 1760. See deed (98:261A) where Joseph Stevens, Sr. sells land in Newbury to Theophilus and Christopher Bradbury in 1753. See deed (113:222), where Joseph Stevens, Sr. and Ann Stevens sold to William Price in 1759. This deed was signed and sealed in the presence of Joseph, Jr. & Tamzin Stevens. See Essex Probate File (26383), where Joseph Stevens died intestate in Newburyport prior to April 15, 1765. The estate was administered by Joseph Stevens, Jr., shipwright. No wife or children were named and the estate was insolvent. Known children of Joseph & Anne Stevens were:
1. Joseph Stevens, Jr. b. 31 May 1716 @ Boston { See the 9th Report of the Records Commissioners of the City of Boston p. 116 }. He married Tamzin Gerrish at Newbury on Sept. 3, 1740. See Essex Deed 102:185 ".... instructions to sheriff to cause payment of Judgement of Court against Joseph Stevens, Jr., shipwright, of Newbury for damages due to William & Dudley Atkins or commit Joseph Stevens, Jr. to goal until he pay.... Recorded 8 Oct. 1755.... and where Joseph Stevens, Jr. sold to Ralph Cross, the house and land in Newbury, being the home I now dwell in and the said land my honored father gave me by his deed....dated 26 Mar. 1759 (94:270). A footnote to this deed : " The witness, Moses Bradstreet, appeared before the court and swore that he was present and saw the within named, Joseph Stevens, Jr. , who now lives in parts beyond the sea.... ( 101:182). Joseph Jr. and Tamzin Stevens had the following children:
1. Mary Stevens b. June 23, 1741 @ Newbury.
2. William Stevens b. Sept. 17, 1742 @ Newbury.
3. Joseph Stevens b. Feb. 24, 1743/4 @ Newbury.
4. Anne Stevens b. May 1, 1747 @ Newbury
5. Elizabeth Stevens b. Feb. 12, 1750/1 @ Newbury.
6. Nathaniel Stevens b. May 24, 1752 @ Newbury.
7. Tamzen Stevens bpt. Oct. 7, 1753 @ Newbury.
8. Paul Stevens bpt. Oct. 28, 1759 @ Newbury
2. Anne Stevens b. 4 April 1719 @ Newbury.
3. Hannah Stevens b. 18 Feb. 1721 @ Newbury.
4. Thomas Stevens b. 6 Sept. 1723 @ Newbury.
2 Possibly Abigail Stevens, wife of Samuel Fowler of Newbury in 1739 belongs here, but more likely a daughter of John & Sarah Morgridge.
3. The GD of ME & NH suggests possibly John who married Grace Gammon in Boston ca. 1694 and probably others.
2. Ann Stevens married Lancelot Pierce and was living at Pejepscot when the Indians chased them off during King Phillips' War 1675/6. They were of Milton from 1682-1686. They were not taxed between 1687- 1689, so we assume they returned East only to be driven away by the Indians during the onslaught of Queen Anne's War (1689). Lancelot was taxed in Milton in 1690 and on March 20, 1691, the Milton Selectmen did agree with Lancelot to keep a child {Benjamin} of Abraham Collins from this time forward. Lancelot was last taxed at Milton in 1691, and probably died ca. 1691/2. His wife, Ann Pierce d. at Milton on Feb. 18, 1708. She, Lancelot and her brother Thomas had land from her father on the Pejepscot River on Jun. 30, 1676 adjacent to Allister Coombs. Her children were :
1. Charles Pierce Paid taxes in Milton 1685-1687.
2. William Pierce He was a ship-carpenter and a settler under Danforth at Falmouth. between 1680-1689 He probably removed to Milton ( Taxed between 1701-1727 ) during the start ofKing William's War 1689. Where one Wm. had children by wife Miriam : Miriam & Elizabeth b. 1703, 1707 . Another Wm. or the same had wife Elizabeth who had daughter, Mary b. in 1710. Wm. claimed from Milton in 1715 a 3 acre home & lot near Fort Loyal that he had bought from Samuel Webber in 1683 and a home and 3 acre lot at Casco Bay that he bought of John Davis in 1687. He also claimed at Pejepscot for self as his father's heir and in behalf of his cousin Thomas Stevens of Swansea in 1730. On Jan. 12, 1731 , he deeded land at Falmouth and at the Stevens Carrying Place, Brunswick, to four children : William, Richard, Anne who m. John Spear of Braintree on Nov. 20, 1718 & Elizabeth.
Unclassified: Jane Pierce of Milton m. James Bagley of Braintree on Jul. 23, 1713
3. Sarah Stevens married John Morgrage, a bricklayer of Kittery and lived on the West side of Spruce Creek. John was a witness in York in 1669 and fined in 1671 for multiplying oaths. John took the Oath of Allegiance in April of 1680. On Feb. 20, 1681-2 he was baptized and joined the Boston Baptist Church. Sarah was baptized at the same church in July 1682. In Sep. 1682 they were of Kittery and helped form the Kittery Church. In 1691, Michael Endle deeded his place to John & Sarah , his next door neighbors for life support for himself and wife, Wilmot. Calling him friend, Richard Cutt deeded to him in 1695 the land he was living on. John had a retail license from 1694-1699. His will Feb. 6 - 15 Mar. 1705/6 names wife and children. Widow Sarah sold drink in 1706, public house license 1707 & 1709. She was licensed for 1718 &19. Sarah was of Newbury in 1733, age 72, when she deposed about her father's land. Her children were :

2. John Morgrage b. Mar. 12, 1682 Blacksmith. had wife Mary in 1710 (Stackpole said probably Mary Gammon. and theirs is apparently the marriage in Portsmouth between 28 June- 16 Oct. 1709 a torn No. Church Record. ) John got the Endle land and after Sarah's death was to receive the Homestead. John had a provisional grant at Scarborough 1720 and was a Falmouth witness in 1721. He was of Kittery 1725. Administration of his will to his wife, Mary on 4 Apr. 1726. In 1733 Ruth Morgrage was appointed guardian of his sons, John of Portsmouth, 1736 sold 2/7ths, Samuel was of Boston in 1744, & Benjamin was of Biddeford in 1744. Daughters include Sarah m. Mark Piton and Elizabeth of Newbury unmarried in 1738. The guardian, Ruth, of Kittery witnessed in 1725-6 of Boston 1738, is unknown, unless oldest child. Mary daughter of one John M, who was baptized in Newbury in 1740, may also have been a daughter, if she was baptized as an adult.

Morgridge sold to Lemuel Fowler undoubtedly a son of Samuel and Abigail Fowler. Essex Co. Deed 143 : 301 dated 1784 states that Abraham Edwards and his wife sold land to Lemuel Fowler being land formerly owned by her grandfather, Samuel Morgridge and by his last will & Testament gave to our mother, Sarah Woodbridge and Mrs. Anne Remick . Essex Co. deed 115:162 dated 1762 states that Joseph Woodbridge sold to Anne Morgridge of Newbury and mentioned his wife Sarah. See Essex Co.

9. Abigail Morgrage b. 3 Jan. 1702, m. Nicholas Hockrin of the Shoals, daughter bpt. @ Kittery 3 April 1721 is a Newbury Record. Probably m (2) to Samuel Fowler of Newbury. See York Co. Deed 21:72, 2nd page where: "We Samuel & Abigail Fowler of Newbury for 8 Pounds, quitclaimed to Jedidiah Preble of York Co. land formerly my grandfather's, Thomas Stevens. This land 700 acres more or less has the same description given by York Deed 21 : 72 1st page, Thomas Morgridge to Jedidiah Preble. Abigail's deed was witnessed by Enoch Sawyer and Humprhry Sawyer. There is a remote possibility Abigail Fowler was a sister to Joseph Stevens of Newbury or she may have been the daughter of an unidentified Stevens and the owner of the 6th and final share of her grandfather's land. Samuel (Shipwright) & Abigail Fowler had the following children:
1. Olive Fowler b. Sept. 23, 1728 @ Newbury
m. Feb. 13, 1749/50 @ Newbury Joseph Coffin, Jr.

and had the following issue all born @Newbury :

7. Abigail Fowler b. Dec. 22, 1771
8. Olive Fowler b. Sept. 21, 1773 d. Apr. 24, 1776
9. Lemuel Fowler b. Oct. 18, 1776
10. Samuel Fowler b. Oct. 24, 1779
7. Ann Fowler b. Mar. 3, 1739 @ Newbury
It is interesting to note that Lemuel and wife Mary named a male child ROYAL. This lends support that Thomas Stevens' 1st wife or 2nd wife Margaret was a daughter of William Royall.
There was also a Samuel Fowler, Jr. of Newbury, who married Abigail (Mrs. A. Hogskin, July 1, 1742) They are credited with 4 children born in Newbury: They were Samuel, Benjamin, Soloman and Robert (1744-1753). There is no way he could have been a son of Samuel & Abigail Fowler. Samuel, Jr. was a blacksmith. However, Essex Co. Deed 119: 41 dated June 7th, 1766 suggests a relationship Samuel Fowler, Jr., etals to Samuel Fowler of Newbury. Since, Samuel, Jr had a son Benjamin, he may have been a son to one Benjamin Fowler who lived and died in Newbury in the same timeframe as Samuel Fowler, Sr.
4. Abigail Stevens married Samuel Lane, a Blacksmith, who was of North Yarmouth in 1688. The family fled to Salem during the 2nd Indian War (King William's War). Samuel was granted land in Gloucestor ca. 1708. Samuel died in Gloucestor on Dec. 30, 1724, age 60+. Abigail died after 1708. Her children were :
1. Child d. at Salem on Feb. 10, 1690/1, age 18 days
2. Daughter bpt at Salem on Nov. 23, 1694
Could be 3,4 or 5 listed below.
3. Elizabeth bpt. at Salem June 16, 1700
4. Hannah bpt. at Salem June 16, 1700
5. Mary bpt. at Salem June 16, 1700
6. Samuel Lane, Jr. bpt at Salem June 16, 1700. Married on Oct. 23, 172_

From: "Norma Smith" (nrsmithmegnub@worldnet.att.net), 21 Sep 1999: "I want to thank you for the information that you provided me with on Thomas Stevens. I have reason to believe that this Thomas Stevens is one and the same as the one that is in our family tree. You have a lot more information than I do. You have the listing for only one daughter. My ancestor is Katherine Stevens. She was taken captive by the Indians during the Pemaquid Massacre. She was taken to Canada and adopted by Indian parents Nestyus and Marie Meray. She married Jacques Pacquet on August 1, 1697. This marriage is listed in the Jette books. I found further information in the bood "Captives Taken to Canada" by Alice Coleman that her father was probably Thomas Stevens. There is also mention of a son that was ransomed and moved back to Maine. I am trying to trace them to there country of origin and have found some information on a Thomas Stevens that arrived on one of the ships to Pemaquid. It is possible that this may be him. I have been going through my papers and have not been able to find this sheet, but when I do I'll send it to you.
