thanks for your reply, I am familiar with most of the sources on the subject, what I am looking for is people who are involved in this subject in order to exchange information, I have built a huge amount of information on the people involved in the raid on Hatfield and Deerfield in 1677, information on the raid on Pascommuck in May of 1704 along with tons of details on the actual raid on Deerfield in 1704.  What I am doing is building files on the various families of the region during this period since it does not seem that any systematic work was done in a long time on these people also, I have a special interest on the ones that remained in Quebec.

Do you know about the book “Captors and Captives: The 1704 French and Indian Raid on Deerfield” by Evan Haefeli and Kevin Sweeney, published in 2003 by the University of Massachusetts Press. Part of the book is on line on google books.

 

Note that I am one of the descendants of Josiah Rising and Abigail Nims who were captured as children during the 1704 Deerfield raid, and who married and settled in Oka Quebec.

I am very familiar with that book and many others on the subject.  I hope that you are familiar with the Rising house in Oka which is a beauty of its style.  Let me know if you do any work on the subject or your own family
