About Mary Ives

[Hannah's father John Dickenson and her first husband Samuel Gillett had been killed by Indians at the Fall's Fight, later her second husband Stephen Jennings would be killed by Indians.]

[Hannah had been remarried only a few months when on 19 Sept. 1677 she and her 5-year old daughter Mary and her 4-year old son Samuel were captured during an Indian attack on Hatfield.

Hannah was pregnant at the time. When the authorities refused to pursue the Indians in fear of ambush, her husband and Benjamin Wait set out together to recover the captives who were headed for Canada. After a journey that lasted all winter they reached Canada in January and negotiated a ransom with the French. There Hannah had a daughter she named Captivity Jennings on 22 Jan. 1678. Hannah returned home with her children in June 1678.[36] On 22 July 1710 Stephen Jennings while engaged in making hay was ambushed and killed by Indians at Brookfield. Captivity Jennings married Abigah Bartlett. He too was killed by Indians Oct. 1708.(http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.an cestry.com/~bart/GILLET.htm)]
