• In the assault by the French and Indians 29 Feb. 1704, he, with his wife and the children, Jonathan, Sarah, Ebenezer, and Abigail were made prisoners and carried away for Canada, but the youngest was killed on the road, and the deacon perished of hunger near the lower Cohos; the widow and two elder children came back, while Ebenezer remained in that country.3386, pp 480-1

• The other [son], David, is better known in history. He was born in 1651, and removed to Hadley, Mass., before 1679, and to Deerfield as early as 1682, where he was deacon and lieutenant. He was three times married, and had eight children. When the Indians attacked Deerfield, in 1704, his eldest son was killed in the “meadow fight,” and himself, his wife, and four children were carried away captive. The youngest, a child three or four years old, was killed by the Indians on the road. The deacon himself, then fifty-three years of age, died of starvation near the “Lower Cohos.” One son, Ebenezer, remained among the Indians but the widow, one son, and a daughter, returned from captivity.2946, p 251

• We have spoken of David Hoyt, who suffered death by starvation among the Indians, while two of his family were slain by them, and others endured for years the horrors of Indian captivity in Canada, one of whom never returned, and may possibly have left descendants among the red-skins of the forest.2946, p 254

• Died of starvation in British prison.
