About Martha Pinkham
On June 28, 1689, when she was about 19, Indians attacked her father's garrison, killed her father, brother, and half-sister. They took her captive, along with her step-mother, three sisters, the children of her brother Stephen, and a number of friends. Martha and her sisters were rescued at Conway, but the others were sold to the French in Canada.

I have updated my earlier analysis to include a reference found on the profile to a book published prior to the book I named. Sinnett used several other books when compiling his tome. Unfortunately, there is more than one mistake he inherited.
DISAMBIGUATION OF THE NAMES OF MARTHA AND SISTER ROSE OTIS
The given name of the daughter of Rose Stoughton and John Otis born 1654 was "Martha," not "Rose." The original mistake stems from the book The descendants of William and Elizabeth Tuttle, who came from old to New England in 1635, and settled in New Haven in 1639, with numerous biographical notes and sketches : also, some account of the descendants of John Tuttle, of Ipswich; and Henry Tuthill, of Hingham, Mass. (1883) Vol. 1,by George Frederick Tuttle: http://archive.org/details/descendantsofwil01tutt http://www.archive.org/stream/descendantsofwil01tutt#page/n72/mode/1up
Page xxxi has the following entry: "36. James [Tuttle], b. April 7, 1663; d. may 15, 1709: m. Rose, dau. of John and Rose1 (Otis) Pinkham"
The mistake of assigning the first name of "Rose" (née Otis) to the wife of John Pinkham, was further propagated by the book Richard Pinkham of old Dover, New Hampshire and his descendants East and West, by Charles Nelson Sinnett, Higginson Book Co., pub. 1908. Page 20 states "John Pinkham m. Rose Otis, daughter of the first Richard Otis. Rose Otis had a most romantic history, being taken captive by the Indians in the capture of the Otis garrison and taken to Canada with others of the family, and later on ransomed." This mistake is noted by descendant, Martin Hollick, on his website, where, as proof, he offers an image of Martha's signature as witness to a Quaker marriage. She signs her name as "Martha Pink ham."

See also, "Plantagenet Ancestry," by Douglas Richardson. Volume III, page 299 lists the children of Rose Stoughton and Richard Otis as: four sons, Richard, Stephen, Solomon, and Nicholas, and five daughters, Martha (wife of John Pinkham), Anne (wife of Thomas Austin), Experience (wife of Samuel Heard and Rowland Jenkins), Judith, and Rose (wife of Jean Poitevin).
So, the Otis daughter named Rose (abt. 1677, Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire - 06 July 1729, Charlesbourg, Canada) was abducted to Canada during the Cochecho Massacre of 1689 and later sold, remaining in Canada and becoming the wife of Jean Poitevin.

The wife of John Pinkham was MARTHA Otis (b. 1654), as demonstrated by her signature, referenced above.
