My 9th great grandparents settle in Deerfield, Massachusetts. Daniel Belden/Belding and Elizabeth (Foote) Belden/Belding. Elizabeth died on September 16, 1696, along with several of their children during a raiding party. Daniel married again to Hepzibah (Buell) Wells, and again in 1704 French and Natives raided, Hepzibah was taken prisoner and died the same year. Daniel married once more to Sarah Hawks. Daniel died in August 14, 1732, in Deerfield, Franklin County, Massachusetts, British Colonial America. My ancestors lived on through Daniel and Elizabeth's son William Belden.
I looked at an old farmhouse for sale in Deerfield once, right on the main road Route 5...it was old, about 1750 and the man selling it (had been his patents), was a direct decendent of the original grant holder, surname Childs i belive...i thought of buying it, was cheap really then, but ultimately passed.... fortunately the couole who did buy it has maintained it well, hasnt messed ir up either...it had a lot of old, possibly original elements in it....about a mile from "The Street" of Old Deerfield. I occasionally regret not buying it, maybe some other day!
I really appreciate that you posted this video here. I am a direct descendent of the ALLEN family who figured prominently in the 1704 massacre. I hope to someday get to Deerfield in person.
4 of my ancestors came from Deerfield Massachusetts. During the time of conflict between the English, French and natives.Starting in 1704, 1707 with Mathias Farnsworth Phaneuf, Sara Alen ,Abigale Nimms and Josiah Rising.They were survivors of the raids and massacures that took place early in Deerfeild history and settling. They were forced to see friends,family members, parents massacred by the natives who took them captive and on a long 250 or so miles in the winter snow to Quebec. All my ancestors ended up eventually staying in Canada and Josiah and Abigale ended up marring. Sara Alen my G.G. of grandmothers became a catholic, married my G.G. of grandfathers Guillaume de LaLonde and her name became Marie Madeleine de LaLonde.I never knew her history and what she endured until I discovered her birth name.She was only 12 years old and witnessed the brutal death of one of her parents and was carried most of the way on the back of her native captor, and is probably how she managed to survive. I'm so proud of this strong child and woman, who had around 15 children and lived to about 81-84 years of age. I'm honored by all 4 of these ancestors and their stories of survival and endurance. I truly respect them and am proud to have their blood and DNA running in my veins.Someday I would love to visit Deerfield and walk the ground that they lived and walked.She spoke 3 languages from this turbulent time in her life,English,Indian from her captors while she was held captive and eventually French from her adopted country she setteled in and stayed the remainder of her life by her choice..
I wish I could visit - health prevents me. I can see where my ancestors came from, how they lived. Through tragedy, I am a descendant of Sarah Allen, Abigail Nims and Josiah Rising. This video shows me where they came from and an a small aperçu on how they lived prior to their capture in 1704.
The new modern garden of Eden God actually lives there the owner of the school Emily lent Hemingway's father is both God and the devil no one will ever let you know this information
I was a bit taken bit ataken back by the man in this video, John Demos,by his remark calling what happened as,"The so called indian massacre".! Obviously he didn't do his research and or is bias on the facts.
I worked at the lower School for 2 years the owner is truly the devil his name is even lent his daughter looks and acts just like Lilith her husband is biblical. This family is the most careless reckless family I ever ran into in my life. If you care for your family don't ever send them here
I livev10 minutes from Historic Deerfield, and am SO BLESSED by God to call this corner of New England my home
I go by those houses every day. I really like it there and the buildings
