From page 35 of The Sayward Family: Being the History and Genealogy of Henry Sayward of York ... By Charles Augustus Sayward

The widow of John Sayward married James Plaisted of York, by whom she had several children. When the Indians made the attack on the town of York, Feb. 5, 1692, she had just been confined and was taken captive with her little babe and her children, Mary and Esther Sayward, and carried to Canada. Mather, in his Magnalia, gives the following account of that terrible journey ... She was carried to Montreal, where she remained until October, 1695, when she was ransomed by Matthew Cary.

Children of James and Mary (Sayward) Plaisted.

• 1. Lydia b. Jan. 4, 1696.
• 11. Olife b. May 1, 1698.
• 1n. Joseph b. 1700.
