Nellie Palmer George: "Marlboro suffered greatly through all the years of Indian warfare." John How's eldest son was killed by them in 1671. His grand-daughter, Elizabeth was at her sister's home assisting her in caring for her infant neice when they were surprised by the indians in the home. The Indians seized them both, and later killed the baby. Elizabeth was held captive for many years in Canada, being ultimately redeemed. She was 17 when taken captive. She returned home to marry her long awaiting lover, Thomas Keyes. Her sister, Mrs. Joslyn, and a child two years old were murdered a few miles from her home. Elizabeth never recovered from the horror and brutality of her sister's death which she was obliged to witness. Her own life was spared because of the superstitious regard the Indians had for her beautiful voice, and during her captivity, she was frequently compelled to 'make sweet sound.' She retained for some time the customs of the Indians--their posture in sitting and their love for the out of doors."."

Sarah WHITE

²WikiTree.com. "Biography

Sarah was daughter of John and Joane (West) White who emigrated to Massachusetts ca 1638. Her father listed in Salem records in 1638 with land in Wenham where Sarah was probably born in March of 1643. She was baptised April 9,1643, in the First Church, Salem, MA-probably closest to her home.

The White family moved west to Lancaster by May 1, 1653 when her father is again listed in Lancaster records as the largest landowner in the town. Sarah's mother died the following year in 1654. Sarah married four years later to James Hosmer of Concord, a town not far from Lancaster.

Married James Hosmer at Concord, Middlesex, Massachusetts on Oct 13, 1658. " James hosmer and Sara White were maried: the 13th octob 1658."[1]

Her husband was killed by Indians on March 31, 1676 while defending the town of Sudbury just south of Concord. Sarah's oldest sister, Elizabeth, and her brother-in-law, John Divoll, and several of her nieces and nephews were also killed the month before when the Indians attacked Lancaster in Feb, 1676. Two of her sisters, Mary Rowlandson and Hannah White, were taken prisoner along with several of their children, and later ransomed back to their homes.

Sarah remarried widower Samuel Rice the following December 13th, 1676 in Concord. The couple apparently moved to Marlborough, MA about 17 miles SE of Concord. He died and is buried there and it is presumed Sarah is also buried there. Two death dates are listed for her: December 22, 1709 at Ipswich, Massachusetts and Jan 5, 1711. Neither are documented.
