Abigail Roi

Children of John Brackett of Rye and Martha Philbrick:

1. Abigail, was captured by the Indians 28 Sept., 1691, and car- ried to Canada where she married a Frenchman. Upon her father's death in 1727, she returned to New Hampshire and claimed her share of his estate, a portion of which was land, seven acres. Jonathan I, <uke lived on it; then Richard Dang and later Samuel H. Tre- fethen. One of the Bracketts made several verses of poetry upon the subject of the return of the Frenchwoman and her claiming her property. In list of taxpayers of Portsmouth, year 1727, appears the name "Frenchman Brackett." Nothing further is known concern- ing her; probably she returned to Canada.
