"...William, removed from Groton, Connecticut, to Kingston, Pennsylvania, in October, 1774, and was living there at the time of the Wyoming Massacre of July 3, 1778. His son Hallet was in the fight, and escaped by floating down the Susquehanna river, with his body under water and his face protected from view between two rails grasped in his hands. Two twin daughters - Sarah and Hannah, born March 4, 1773, at Groton, Connecticut, and aged about five years - were captured and carried off by the Indians, painted and adopted by a squaw, but were soon after ransomed. Hannah was the Mrs. Hannah JONES who died at Kingston, Pennsylvania, about 1860. Sarah was the Mrs. Sarah HOYT, who died at Norwalk, Ohio, in 1858. She first married Peter GRUBB, Jr., and after his death became the wife of Agur HOYT, and removed to Danbury, Connecticut, whence, in 1831, they came to Norwalk, Ohio. She was the stepmother of the late Agur B. HOYT, of Norwalk, and mother of William R. HOYT, now of Toledo, Ohio. Another daughter, Mary, was engaged to be married to James DIVINE, of Philadelphia. He went to Kingston to visit her, and was one of the victims of July 3, 1778. She never married."
