About David Hoyt
Deacon
Captured in the 1704 Indian massacre and raid on Deerfield. Died en route at age 52
Indian & French attack on Deerfield, Mass account given in The Hoyt and Haight Familys: [2]
"When the French and Indians attacked Deerfield , Feb. 29, 1703-4, he was taken captive, with his wife and four children. On the way towards Canada, provisions became so scarce that Dea. Hoyt "perished of hunger near the lower Cohos," in the vicinity of what is now Newbury, Vt., May or June, 1704. Some of the descendants say that he was compelled to carry a large bundle, and that he must also carry his youngest child, or see her killed by the Indians; but he fainted under the double burden."
