Here is a passage from a book I read about the capture of Elizabeth Hanson. Indian New England Before the Mayflower Howard S. Russell University Press of New England Hanover New Hampshire and London England 1980 by Trustees of Dartmouth College


page 82-83

“Mrs. Elizabeth Hanson, of Dover, New Hampshire, with a newborn baby at her breast, was captured by Indians in 1724. Her milk dried up, and the babe's bones showed. A squaw taught her to beat walnut kernels and water to a milk and boil it with very fine ground cornmeal. 'My babe... quickly began to thrive and look well, which gave me great comfort.'” The infant was Mary Mercy Hanson.

Hi Debra,
I have spent most of my time researching my Sabourin French Canadian line. My ancestor Sarah Catherine Hanson (b. 13 Nov 1708 in Dover) daughter of John Hanson and Elisabeth Meader was made a captive by the French and the Indians lived with the Indians and on the 27 July 1727 in L'Annociation, Oka, Quebec married Jean Baptiste Sabourin.
I did find a HANSON REGISTER REPORT

family of Thomas HANSON and Mary Kitchen

I am new at researching New England records and would love help.
Next June, I plan on visiting Dover and I want to find out everything I can before then.
Pat

My genealogy site at http://www.dunhamwilcox.net contains over 4500 files of transcribed records from CT, MA, RI, NJ, NY, & MI. I hope that they'll be useful to researchers.

Hi all, I moved to New England as an adult and am still here. It was only after I began doing genealogy research shortly after moving here that I discovered just how many connections I have to Colonial New England. Various people in my tree lived in all six states and many of them moved around between the states before moving on to other states or to Canada. I have always had an interest in cemeteries and I enjoy walking through the very very old cemeteries in this area, regardless of whether I have any known relatives in them. It is difficult for me to imagine in this day and age what life would have been like for the earliest European colonists (and that included some members of my tree) buried in some of the oldest graves.
