About Mary Cavendish

Mary McCoy Williams was captured by indians along with two of her children after her husband John Williams was killed by the same indians who killed John Byrd, Sr. Mrs. Williams and the two children were released from Fort Pitt in 1765 after a treaty was made with the indians involving release of their prisoners.
