2521	Samuel resided in Granville, New York as well as Wells, Danby Corners and Warrenburg, VT. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War in Colonel John Williams regiment. The following is from: Military minutes of the Council of Appointment of the State of New York, 1783-1821 Vol. 1 & 2 Samuel Harnden Sr. (1751) 1786 Ensign, Lieut. Col. Commandant Adam Martin?s Regiiment, Washington Co., NY 1789 Vice Captain, Colonel Adam Martin?s Regiment 1793 Captain, Light Infantry, Lieut. Colonel Commandant John Buck?s regiment Johanna and Samuel married in Nathan Draper's home. Samuel is given credit as the patriarch of the Canadian lines. The following is from the Harnden family tree book written in Canada in the 1980's: 'Samuel Harnden the accredited root of our ever bearing family tree, married Johanna Draper on Feb. 15, 1776, in her home town of Killingly, Windham Co., Connecticut. Although there are no given dates, Samuel fathered two other sons, William and Orbin. Family legend indicates that Samuel's progeny remained loyal to Britain long after the American War of Independence. Some Harndens helped protect our Canadian sovereignty during the War (1812-1814). Already Zadock had settled in Ontario where he had died at over Ninety years of age. A generation later, three sons of William migrated to Canada. Reportedly they came in their own barge via the Erie Canal which was completed by 1825. In time their two uncles, Orbin and Ziba, arrived to join the clan.' It should be noted that the family actually fought each other on both sides of the War of 1812.	Harnden, CPT Samuel (I6845)
2522	Samuel was a Corporal in Lieut. Heath's Company, he enrolled 16 May 1721 holding Fort Richmond from May to November of 1721. He was still with Heath in 1725 as a Sergeant. Samuel first filed his marriage intentions in Boston, Mass. on 18 Dec 1723 under Sam Arndel & Mary Edgar, a cruel entry is appended "Forbidden by his father". This denied union finely took place 16 March 1726 as Saml. Horndell & Mary Edgar. Samuel was an agent for the Nequasset Petitioners in securing incorporation of the new Town Woolwich and was moderator at the first Town Meeting. From "History of Woolwich Maine" As far as we know, the Smith-Hammond property lay vacant for nearly forty years. With new settlements after Dummer's Treaty, purchasers of that tract of land and others merged their rights into a company. It became Nequasset Township. One proprietor was Samuel Harnden, former soldier at Fort Richmond. Upon survey he chose two hundred acres at the end of Long Reach. For defense he built his blockhouse in 1742, the home of the Harndens for nearly fifty years. During those years of peace, Samuel's daughter, Mary, married Ebenezer Preble. In 1758 they were living with their six children on their farm a mile south of the Harnden garrison at Long Reach. There had been rumors of hostilities with the French and Indians. Settlers were retreating to the safety of the forts. The Prebles were preparing to take the family to the Harnden fort, but they were too late. Mary and Ebenezer were killed, and the children were taken captive. The baby, Benjamin, and a servant boy died on the march to Quebec. In 1759, when the army attacked Quebec, two daughters, Rebecca and Mary, were rescued and returned. Two years later Grandfather Harnden made the long journey to Montreal to rescue his grandsons, Samuel and Ebenezer, and Elenor Noble of Swan Island, a captive for eleven years. The third grand-daughter, Mehitable, was taken to France with her foster family and not heard from again. A boulder with a plaque on the point at Day's Ferry, in sight of the Harnden fort, marks the burial site of Mary and Ebenezer Preble. In his remaining years he made a journey to Montreal and Quebec for his two grandsons who had been captives there since the breaking up of the family by the Indian assault of 1758 making six children captives after killing their parents. This journey with the time spent in searching and negotiating for the lads extended from August to October 1761. He went by way of Crown Point but returned from Quebec by a vessel to Boston. He obtained along with the boys, Elinor Noble, one of the Swan Island captives of the raid of 1751. His journey detailed incidents and successful quest is preserved in the Massachusetts Archives: THE LAST TRAGEDY OF THE INDIAN WARS: THE PREBLE MASSACRE AT THE KENNEBEC BY REV. HENRY O. THAYER Read before the Maine Historical Society April 90, 1903 Our historian Bancroft, remarking upon the terrible wars of the red men, prosecuted usually by warrior bands rarely exceeding forty, adds that "parties of six or seven were most to be dreaded, while those of two or three were not uncommon." Stealthy steps upon the enemy's trail to strike them when asleep; the ambush of a village; the dash upon a single foe-man or upon a woman and children; the quick taking of scalps and flight; were characteristic methods. In the same way later upon the white man did the Indian make; war when his bloodthirsty nature sought victims or his hate and fears would expel the intruding settler. Our New England history shows instances where war parties of several hundreds assaulted settlements as at Dover and Wells, but in a majority of such cases Frenchmen doubled "the savage horde and French leaders and French tactics aided in a more woeful work as at Deerfield, Berwick, Casco, Pemaquid. But in those same wars the great number of desolations and atrocities came from bands of ten or a score. In the last twenty years of the Indian warfare 1740-60 when settlements had been extended and were stronger, the main work of the harassing foe was done on the outskirts, by ambush of laborers, a fell swoop upon a lonely dwelling. These murderous raids were better executed by wolf-like bands of five or ten. "War," wrote Edmund Burke, "is the matter which fills all history." Our Maine history is not complete without many pages of deeds over which humanity must weep. The instance I relate was the first of the Kennebec tales of blood which engaged my attention, and had special significance because it occurred a mile from my home for many years and the descendants of the victims were my neighbors and intimate friends. To family traditions I was afterwards able to add documentary evidence from the Massachusetts State papers. Upon Ebenezer Preble fell the sudden deadly onset of skulking raiders of the Kennebec valley. He was the son of Jonathan, of Arrowsic, who was grandson of Abraham, the immigrant to Scituate and thence to York, about 1642. Hence he was a second cousin of General Jedediah Preble whom Portland holds in honor. For the times, middle of the eighteenth century, this young man of thirty-four had made a happy beginning in life. A farm, a humble dwelling sheltering a wife and six children, cultivated acres near at hand, a barn partly built, fair prospects for the onward years, were solid foundations for true satisfaction. His home was on a small plateau jutting upon the tides and eddies of the river, and now opposite to the northerly part of the city of Bath. At work in his corn-plat on a day of early June, the ambushed foe sped their deadly missiles upon him, and he fell under the careful certainty of aim. The report of guns like thunder from a clear sky sent a shock of terror into his dwelling. Did not every wife and mother carry an aching fear of similar peril every day? Mrs. Preble knew full well the meaning of those guns. She hastily barred the door and, unwisely it seems, made such defense as she could against the fierce enemy who at once yelled their joy and defiance about the house. It was a party of four only, ranging from Canada into Maine for scalps and captives. They preferred captives to scalps because of the higher price in the French markets of the spoils of war. They strove for entrance and demanded surrender, offering "good quarters." Failing of this, they tried bullets. One account told that Mrs. Preble was putting a featherbed against the door for more effective barricade against the guns. Through crevice or aperture by door or window she was shot dead, falling in the midst of her shrieking children, while grievous wounds were inflicted on two more of the household. Now dire fright and hopelessness compelled to unbar the door. The assailants. took possession, gleeful certainly at success. And the numerous captives which meant much silver in hand at Quebec. They hastily gathered such plunder as they would be able to carry: of it one portion was the mass of dough for the rye-and-Indian loaf, in preparation by Mrs. Preble's hands. This was slipped out of the tray into a blanket, greedily to be devoured later, or divided to the captives. Probably the whole transaction did not occupy an hour from the ambushed shot till the march began. The Indian file-leader led on the distressed company into the great wilderness through which Arnold and his men toiled and suffered six score years later. Now four exultant savages convoyed a company of eight horror-stricken youth and children. It was fortunate that only nine months previously record of this family was entered at Georgetown by Clerk Samuel Denny. The ages were approximately: Rebecca, twelve and one-half years; Samuel, ten; Mehetabel, eight and one-half; Ebenezer, six; Mary, three and one-half; also an infant, William, three months. There was also a servant girl, Sarah Fling, seventeen years of age, and an undersized boy nearly fifteen, Simeon Girdey, a lad in the service of Jonathan Preble. The girl, Sarah Fling, suffered a slight wound; the lad one grievous and mortal. A tradition told that the Indians endeavored to save his life, probing the wound for the bullet. We know that in the end he was knocked on the head. Family tradition retained few incidents of the dolorous journey. The Indians made hasty departure, taking a detour back from the river into the forest for greater safety if their horrid work should at once be discovered. At the first resting-place but a few miles onward, the oldest daughter was confident she could have escaped, but loyally would not forsake her sisters. The little Mary in fits of crying was threatened into silence by her captors and was also carried on the back of her oldest sister much of the way. The undiscerning Indians, in desire to save the infant's life, assumed that the stout servant girl might nourish it at her breast, and so directed. She could only deny and protest "I am" not it's mother." Then in their disappointment and exasperation the little one was recklessly and viciously brained against the nearest rock or tree. The family tradition holds that this fiendish deed was done before the eyes of the horrified group. The captives were as kindly treated as life in the wilderness would allow; received the choicest bits of game killed; were watched over with care, for if there was no compassion self-interest so enjoined that the larger revenue of their exploit should be secured by living captives than by scalps. On the way the captors hailed another party and held aloft on a pole the bunch or scalps, exulting in the trophies of a successful raid: the bereaved girls held long in memory the excruciating view of the long, black hair of their mother, waving as a token of orphanage cruelly thrust upon them "in a moment and their wretched and then hopeless fate as they were driven into the land of the enemy and the stranger. The situation of the house still used for many years was well known in recent times as it had stood on the south side of the plateau on the border of a little cove. It disappeared, however, by the encroachment of brick-making, which ate away the supporting river bank. The outline of stones forming evidently the foundations of the barn can now be traced. From that wrecked and blood-stained home the scarred bodies of the murdered parents were taken up river a mile to the block-house of Captain Harnden, who was Mrs. Preble's father, at the present village of West Woolwich, and there close by received sorrowful burial. A slight mound bordered by rough stones amid later graves is now plainly defined, remaining a memorial of the tragic event, and sadly needing some monument in their memory who were the victims of the last raid and massacre of the Kennebec valley. Too late! often a poignant phrase, must have been a sharp thorn in Captain Harnden's heart if, as was told, he intended in view of peril to take his daughter and family home a day later when planting should be done. It seems desirable in behalf of the accuracy of history to refer to what existing history contains concerning this hostile raid. Sullivan wrote "the date 1756", but Parson Smith in his Journal showed the correct one, 1758. Williamson, accordingly, felt obliged to accept both, and wrote of two separate events. Sullivan has only the name Preble, as also Smith's Journal, but in the latter the note by Mr. Willis says "Jonathan Preble who was born in York, 1695," thus regarding the father not the son as the real victim. All these writers assign the occurrence to the island of Arrowsic, the location of Jonathan Preble's home, but not of his son the sufferer. His house had been located four miles north, on the east bank of the Kennebec, in a section of Georgetown which by incorporation in the following year became Woolwich. Sullivan knew only of three children captured, yet he had conversed with one or two in after years. In a historical sketch of Bath and vicinity, by General Joseph Sewall, some errors and apocryphal accretions were attached in the narration of this savage incursion, due to too ready acceptance of floating local traditions unverified by facts then obtainable from one of the captive daughters a few miles away. He copies Sullivan in the date, the place, the number of captives, and makes Jonathan Preble, the owner of the blockhouse, the victim. He regarded the assailants as a "strong party," which advanced directly upon the Preble garrison, and then upon Harnden's", and also dared a future attack upon a strong fort at the lower end of Arrowsic, where they killed many cattle. He tells of the capture of a Miss Motherwell near Harnden's house. In fact, four Indians, 1ike sly wolves upon a sheep-fold, sprang upon a solitary farm-house, broke in, killed, seized their prey, then fled. The Miss Motherwell capture had only one fact for basis: one captive daughter did become Mrs. Motherwell many years after. How slight and defective the knowledge of the transaction held by some of the descendants will be perceived by a short notice found in the volume, "The Preble Family." Documents in the Massachusetts Archives correct and enlarge the family traditions respecting the transaction and the captives. They show the precise number of assailants, the number killed and wounded, a list of the captives, the manner of their detention or "disappearance, or their return home. One paper by the grandfather, Mr. Preble, gives a list of this family, with other names of like sufferers along the Kennebec that year. It assures the accurate date, June 9, 1758. Parson Smith's entry upon the eleventh says "lately," intelligence reaching Falmouth the second day after. We learn that the second daughter, Mehetabel, entered a family, doubtless of the better class, which soon went to France, and though there was expectation of return, nothing further was ever heard of her. Her two sisters, in the following year when Quebec fell, were discovered by two men, evidently soldiers from the Kennebec in the New England forces. These men in kindness arranged for their ransom which amounted to one hundred dollars, and the girls came home in a transport which arrived at Boston date not known. To little Mary at departure had been given by the foster family a small tablecloth. In the greetings at Boston by waving flags, hats, handkerchiefs, she had only her tablecloth to use, which in the swinging slipped from her feeble grasp and it was lost in the harbor. Some facts indicate that in many, perhaps a majority of cases, English captives were kindly and humanely treated by the French in Canada. Officers of government, wealthy families, seem to have taken as many as they could, of course to be in the place of servants. Some captives found better homes than, they had left. One of these Preble boys, in after life of poorly remunerative toil lamented that his prospects for life had been changed for the worse by returning home. Others, many, must have had lives rugged and harsh because of the conditions of the families into which they fell by the chances of sale. Some captives were retained by the Indians, subjected and agreeably accustomed to their mode of life. Still others, a multitude from the border towns of New England, as they were hurried away by the captors toward the northern wilderness, passed into oblivion, for no word came back to reveal their fate. Not only as concerned miserable captives, but the processes of war were changed for the better in the course of years. Parkman holds that their wars in the; eighteenth Century were less cruel and bloodthirsty than in the previous and believes that the teachings and influence of the Jesuits contributed to this result. In the spring of 1761 the recovery of the remaining Kennebec captives was undertaken. Captain Samuel Harnden, in a petition to the General Court of Massachusetts, detailed the incidents connected with the loss of his grandchildren and sought aid, in his purpose to go to Canada for them and for several others taken in his vicinity. By vote of June 20, a sum of money and letter and credentials were granted to him. He had first proposed to take the Kennebec route, but found reasons to make his journey by way of Crown Point. On the sixteenth of August he reached Montreal and was so speedily successful as to obtain his grandson Samuel on the third day. The boy had fallen into the hands of Major Desney. Five days later he took from a nunnery Elinor, daughter of Lazarus Noble of Swan Island, who had been in captivity eleven years. The girl Sarah Fling he learned was at San Antonio, sixty miles distant. Obtaining the needful passport, he set out and crossed the river, but soon some slight indisposition and probably a loss of ardor in her behalf turned him back. It is hoped that the girl who would have been in a measure homeless had she returned, did fare even better in the land of captivity. Intelligence privately obtained led him to seek the younger grandson at or near Quebec, where he arrived by ship on the twenty-ninth of August. On September 1, the lost boy was delivered to his hands. But here the misfortune of a broken arm befell the older boy, causing, expense and delay. The voyage from Quebec to Boston extended from September 17 to October 4. By further delay in sailing eastward he was unable to give the three homebound children a sight of their native Kennebec till October 20. The narration can only draw the outlines without finer detail of what befell a household of ten persons. Four met death by the bullet and tomahawk; one in France and one in Canada passed out of all knowledge of family or friends; two daughters, after a year, two sons after three and a half years came back to the place of their birth. The older son Samuel came into possession of the farm from which he had been cruelly torn away, still in memory spotted and sacred by blood of parents. He died in 1806. His brother Ebenezer made his home on an adjacent farm, living till 1790. Rebecca, after twenty years from her captivity, married Thomas Motherwell in 1778 and residing within two miles of her brothers till her death in 1829. With her dwelt her sister Mary remaining unmarried, and in later years in the family of Captain Lincoln Webb at West Woolwich, attaining the age of eighty-nine in 1843. Rebecca, as also her sister, became a member of the Congregational church and was esteemed a person of ardent piety traced to experiences of childhood. In that despairing hour when she was driven from home and the lifeless mother's side, she took the only good book possible, a small copy of the Psalter, and retained it and its cheer through the weary, homesick year in Canada. Treasured, in the family is a plain finger-ring, mournful relic, a precious heirloom. It was on their mother's hand as she fell dead, and by the bread dough in which her hands were at the moment of alarm, was so concealed as to escape the eye of the plundering savage eager for the rich and bountiful scalp. It has last been in the possession of a daughter of the late Captain George A. Preble of Bath, a great-great-granddaughter of her who wore it at death. If as assumed a marriage ring, it dates back one hundred and fifty-seven years, and has been worn by four persons bearing the name Mary Preble, while a fifth Mary will have rights in succession. So the past transmits, with but the memory of calamities and sorrows, rich gifts of enjoyment and privilege the inheritance of to-day. This event as detailed may have worth as one instance of many hundreds of similar tragedies enacted throughout New England during eighty years of recurring Indian wars. Far more horrible were many; far more agonizing the terror of the foe's onset and the pain of separation; more dreadful and wearying unto death often the toilsome wilderness journey; more heartbreaking the oblivion which covered the fate of hundreds. Certainly much of woe and loss had been avoided if truth and justice had ruled in all relations with the Indians, and also a half century of conflict had been spared with its desolations and cost in human life, if thirst for dominion and the spirit of war had not so controlled the great nations in their stubborn rivalries nor permitted the grasp upon possessions in America to seem to justify the use of those malign savage allies to achieve the ends desired. This event narrated has special significance because of its place at the close of the "Seven 'Years War," which terminated the period of the "Indian Wars." French instigation ceased and raids on the frontier settlements save a few outbreaks during the War of the Revolution growing out of restless savage natures and greed for spoils. As that band of marauders were trailing through the northern forests and skulking about the Kennebec settlements, the forces of Amherst and Wolfe were massing upon Louisburg, the strong but doomed fortification in which France trusted to defend her eastern territory. The captives were not more than well placed in new homes by the St. Lawrence when the great fortress fell into English hands. The tragedy therefore was contemporary with the first act of the stirring drama of final conquest by Great Britain in North America. Likewise it was the last known tragedy of the Indian Wars which involved and blotted out a whole family. Indeed it would have for any year distinction in that respect. Subsequently in that summer, records show many persons taken by the enemy. A large portion were captured in the region of Lake George and the northern army and were soldiers evidently. Others were seamen and fishermen on the eastern coast, who were viciously picked off though the Indians were greatly disheartened by the fall of Louisburg. Some dozen names appear of victims of savage incursions in eastern Maine during June, July and August. The price of the ransom was an impelling motive constantly, when French instigation no more set the human wolves upon the prey. But I find only individual captures or two or three at one time. No list of the lost indicates a family, and only two names of females are found among scores of captives. I conclude no whole family was assailed and taken away. No other later capture was reported from the valley of the Kennebec in applications to the State government. No history shows a single name. The war in Maine was virtually ended. Noticeable likewise is it that this last family tragedy of the last Indian war occurred but one mile distant from the place of the first tragedy of the first Indian war in the valley of the Kennebec, when Richard Hammond's house was vengefully assailed in August, 1676. Not far away, perhaps not a hundred yards from the spot where the bodies of Hammond and companions were cast out stripped and unburied to the winds or the wolves, the murdered parents received loving and as decent burial as the distressing conditions allowed. For that region and all of Maine as well, how many and barbarous, how treacherous and desolating, the deeds of the vengeful enemy which joined those extremes, 1676 and 1758. After Louisburg a year led on to Quebec's investment and its fall when "England blazed with bonfires, . . . and New England filled the land with jubilation." Then two captive maidens nom the Kennebec stood on the heights or walls of the strong city and saw the movements of ships and soldiers which promised to them deliverance, and long remembered their share in the joy of England's triumph. There was needed only the further campaign against Montreal and then France lowered its flag and by that capitulation "Canada and all its dependencies passed to the British crown," and as Parkman wrote, "Half the continent had changed hands at the scratch of a pen." NOTE A. Obviously required as also conformed to present endeavor in New England to mark historic sites, is some simple monument at the burial-place of the victims of this tragedy. It is regarded very desirable by their descendants, and has been mentioned with approval in historical circles. Sufficient funds however are not at present readily obtainable, but steps have been taken to insure that ownership and legal title to the spot shall be vested in some appropriate corporate body, probably the Maine Historical Society. NOTE B. It is suitable in aid of family history present and future to append a brief outline of descendants of these parents who fell under savage assault. Names are given of four generations which are denoted in their order by the numerals. Those in the fifth generation, now children and young persons, are enumerated but not named. All were or are residents of Woolwich unless otherwise designated. These records show in the several families twelve or thirteen master mariners of whom two are now living, one retired from the merchant service and one in command of a government transport. Four or five were seamen of whom two were lost at sea and two died in foreign ports. But Captain Motherwell was in the militia and had service at the Kennebec in the War of 1812.

2530	Savage, in his Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, states that Nathan and his wife joined the church early in 1640 and 1641, respectively. They had brought from England, certainly Mary, and perhaps other children beside John. He was made Freeman 13 May 1640, and was chosen one of the first two deacons. Mary and son John had administration of his estate. Nathan Aldis of Dedham, MA, is considered the immigrant ancestor of the Aldis/Aldus family. He was admitted to the Dedham Church on 11 Feb 1639/40. He was chosen as one of the first deacons of the Church on 23 June 1650. On 13 May 1640, he was made a freeman. He first appears in town affairs as a viewer of fences on 17 Apr 1640 and was elected selectman in 1641, 1642 and 1644. From NEGHR, Vol. 150, p. 488 Nathan and Mary made their home in Fressingfield, Suffolk, until appparently May 1635, for an entry in the Fressingfield Tithe Book on May 4 of that year notes that Nathan Aldous is "to goe out of town at May." In his brother John's will, 26 July, 1639, Nathan is named as living "over sea". The earliest known record of Nathan "over sea" --in Dedham, Massachusetts--is his admission to the Dedham Church on 11 February 1639/40. Mary, wife of "borther Alldys," was admitted 11 Mary 1640/1. ------------------------ From BACON AND ALLIED FAMILIES, by J. Dean Bacon, Published by Murray & Gee Inc., Culver City, California, 1958 Nathan Aldis was born in England about 1596 and married there Mary . He came with his wife and two children to Dedham, Massachusetts about 1638. He was admitted to the Church there Feb. 11, 1640, and his wife March 11, 1641. He was Freeman May 13, 1640; `viewer of fences' April 17, 1640; Selectman 1641-2-4; as a Dedham Proprietor he signed the Dedham Covenants, and received grants of land, which were small as he held only a small number of cow commons. In 1642 he bought one-sixth interest in the water mill." He was chosen one of the first Deacons of the Church, and was on the committee on the meetinghouse and the pastor's salary. His name was spelled Aldace, Aldhouse, Alldys, Alldess and in other ways on Dedham records. The spelling of names was a matter of indifference in that age. The wits of Charles II amused themselves in signing their names in as many forms as they could devise. He died March 15, 1676, at Dedham. Administration of his estate was granted "to Mary Aldis, his relict and John Aldis their sonne." His widow, Mary, died Jan. 1, 1677. "In August 1642 Nathan Aldis acquired a sixth interest in the water mill on East Brook. Seven years later he, with John Allin (the Pastor) and John Dwight, sold his interest to Nathaniel Whiting, the fourth partner." "Nathan Aldis acted as appraiser in a number of probate cases, and in two of these the original papers are preserved. His signature of the date of 1642 has been reproduced from certain town papers."	Aldis, Nathan (I7574)

2538	sergent Cie de Tonty, explorateur, coureur des bois http://www.biographi.ca/FR/ShowBio.asp?BioId=35689&query= NOYON, JACQUES DE, voyageur, coureur de bois, sous-officier dans les troupes de la Marine, né le 12 février 1668 à Trois-Rivières, second fils de Jean de Noyon, maître fabricant d’outils tranchants, et de Marie Chauvin ; il épousa Abigail Stebbins à Deerfield, Massachusetts, en 1704 ; décédé à Boucherville (Québec) le 12 mai 1745. On mentionne pour la première fois le nom de Jacques de Noyon alors qu’il était âgé de 20 ans. En 1688 il mena une expédition de traite à partir du fort Nipigon, bâti quatre ans auparavant sur le lac du même nom par Daniel Greysolon* Dulhut, en amont de la rivière Kaministiquia et au-delà du lac du Chien (Dog Lake) vers le lac La Pluie (Rainy Lake) où il passa l’hiver parmi les Assiniboines. Il était le premier Français à s’aventurer aussi loin à l’ouest. Son voyage de retour en 1689 fut assombri par la noyade accidentelle d’un dénommé Lacroix et de deux autres hommes, dans le lac qui fut baptisé plus tard lac Sainte-Croix. En 1690, Noyon fut engagé par François Charon* de La Barre pour se rendre dans l’Ouest avec Gilles Papin, commis de Charon, pour y recouvrer une dette contractée par Nicolas Perrot* Noyon recevait 200ª par an pour la durée de cet engagement et il avait la permission de trafiquer pour son propre compte. En 1693, laissant derrière lui une facture impayée de 118ª à l’auberge de Louis Marchand à Québec, en plus d’un emprunt de quelque 200ª à Charles Macard*, il se mit en route pour la région de l’Outaouais (probablement la péninsule du Michigan) avec la troupe de voyageurs de Pierre-Charles Le Sueur*. Noyon repartit pour l’Ouest deux ans plus tard, cette fois grâce à un prêt de 150ª de Charles Aubert* de La Chesnaye. À Boucherville le 2 janvier 1698, alors qu’il était peut-être encore en pleine célébration du Nouvel An, Noyon, légèrement ivre, échangea des insultes avec Gilles Papin, devenu marchand. Dans la mêlée qui s’ensuivit, Papin brandit son épée. À la suite de la plainte que Noyon adressa au tribunal de Montréal le lendemain de cet incident, Charles de Couagne* retira de la maison de Papin certains effets appartenant à Noyon, probablement pour régler un compte que celui-ci devait depuis 1688. La plupart des trafiquants de l’Ouest fixaient un taux de crédit pour un marchand qu’ils accommodaient d’année en année, mais Noyon administra si mal ces prêts qu’il fut incapable d’emprunter deux fois du même marchand. En 1700, il était, semble-t-il, criblé de dettes. La même année, Noyon et Louis Gosselin offrirent leurs services au gouverneur de New York, lord Bellomont, lui promettant de ramener en moins d’un an à Albany 52 camarades, 10 ou 12 chefs outaouais, ainsi que des fourrures. Ils ne demandaient en retour que la permission de vivre et de trafiquer à Albany. Cependant, l’escapade de Noyon en Nouvelle-Angleterre ne fut pas de longue durée. En 1704, le révérend John Williams* le maria à Abigail Stebbins, à Deerfield, Massachusetts. Deux semaines plus tard, Williams ainsi que toute la famille Stebbins et le nouveau couple furent au nombre des prisonniers capturés par Jean-Baptiste Hertel* de Rouville, lors d’un raid contre Deerfield. Noyon se serait bien passé de cette lune de miel tous frais payés. Désormais responsable d’une épouse, il retourna au Canada où l’attendaient ses créanciers. Abigail, que les actes notariaux de Montréal appellent « Marguerite Stebens , avait cependant de plus grandes raisons encore d’être désenchantée ; non seulement se trouvait-elle dans un pays étranger contre lequel ses compatriotes étaient en guerre mais, de plus, elle découvrait que son mari, qui s’était vanté devant la famille Stebbins de posséder d’importantes propriétés et d’être un homme d’une richesse considérable, avait menti effrontément. C’est à l’époque de son retour au Canada que Noyon semble avoir rédig le récit de son voyage de 1688 dans l’Ouest, auquel plusieurs documents font allusion ; il avait en effet appris à écrire lors de son séjour en Nouvelle-Angleterre. À peine quelques mois après son retour dans la colonie, il emprunta plus de 100ª à un nouveau créancier, Jean-Baptiste Crevier Duvernay, et partit pour le fort Pontchartrain (Détroit) se joignant à 64 engagés. Noyon fit apparemment de sérieux efforts pour s’amender, puisqu’en 1708 il se trouva une situation plus stable, celle de sergent – le grade le plus élevé chez les sous-officiers – dans la compagnie d’Alphonse Tonty*, au salaire mensuel net de 15ª, 2s. et 5d. Ce revenu ne suffisait toutefois pas à apaiser ses créanciers et à faire vivre sa famille. En 1708, la valeur totale de ses biens mobiliers était inférieure à 400ª, et Marguerite devait compter en partie sur les aumônes pour élever ses enfants. Par conséquent, les Noyon furent déclarés en séparation de biens en juillet, et en août Marguerite acheta une modeste propriété à Boucherville. En 1719, elle put se rendre visiter sa parenté en Angleterre. Les Noyon eurent au moins 13 enfants entre 1704 et 1726. Les familles Danio, qui vivent actuellement dans le Massachusetts, peuvent remonter chez leurs ancêtres jusqu’à Jacques-René de Noyon (orthographié « Danio » dans l’acte de mariage de ses parents), fils aîné de Jacques et de Marguerite, qui fut envoyé chez ses grands-parents à Deerfield en 1714. Le 26 avril 1742, 17 mois après la mort de sa femme, Jacques de Noyon, ne pouvant plus travailler sur sa terre, légua ses quelques biens à ses enfants et emménagea chez sa fille, Marie, et son gendre, Louis Renaud, où il passa les trois dernières années de sa vie, soutenu par une subvention annuelle de 200ª de ses enfants. Les dettes de Noyon étaient-elles le lot de la plupart des voyageurs ? Les coureurs de bois qui allaient s’établir en Louisiane ou en Nouvelle-Angleterre étaient-ils de simples aventuriers, âpres au gain ou désespérément endettés ? Autant de questions qui, comme plusieurs autres soulevées par les expériences de Noyon, resteront peut-être sans réponse, faute d’une documentation suffisante. http://www.eclipse.co.uk/eames.genealogy/wga7.html#I651 de Noyon, Jacques (1668 - 1745) - male b. 1667/1668 in Trois-Rivieres, CAN d. 1745 in Boucherville, Quebec, CAN Info from the Stebbins family website -http://www.sover.net/~neills/stebbins.htmlIn 1688, at the age of twenty, he and three companions travelled to the Canadian West, crossing Lake Superior, reached Grand Portage, entered the Kaministikwia River near the present city of Fort Willimas, explored Dog Lake, Mille Lacs Lake, and by the Rainy River, discovered Lake of the Woods. He spent the winter of 1688-1689 on the Ouchichig River (Winnipeg) at its entrance to Lake of the Woods.At the end of October 1700, de Noyon was in New York where, with Louis Gosselin, he petitioned Governor Bellomont. Between then and 1704, it is thought that de Noyon and comrades were in New England despite the breaking out of Queen Anne's war (known in France as the War of the Spanish Succession) in 1702. The war lasted until the treaty of Utrecht in 1713. At the time of the attack on Deerfield in February, 1704, deNoyon and two other Frenchmen had been living in Deerfield, long enough for deNoyon to court and marry Abigail Stebbins, age 20 years, and the daughter of John Stebbins and Dorothy Alexander, pioneers of Deerfield. According to a later petition of Marguerite Stebbins, wife of Jacques de Noyon, dated July 9,1708, he claimed at the time to be well established and quite wealthy in Canada. Jacques de Noyon and Abigail Stebbins were married in Deerfield on February 3, 1703-4 by the local minister, Reverend John Williams. (For a very interesting account of the history, customs and life of Deerfield residents during the 17th and 18th centuries, you should read New England Outpost, by Richard I. Melvoin.)The French and Indian attack on Deerfield came before day break on February 29, 1703/4. De Noyon, his wife, her family and many others were taken as captives by the raiding party and taken toCanada where they arrived in Chambly by the end of March. TheStebbins remained in Chambly under the protection of the Hertels; de Noyon and his wife came to live with his widowed mother at Boucherville. It is in that village that they spent the rest of their lives (Jacques continued to travel) where their children were born (with one exception) and where they died and were buried.Their eldest son was born December 26, 1704, and baptized December 28,1704 at Boucherville, Quebec. His godparents were Jean and Marie Boucher, children of Pierre Boucher. Abigail (now Marie Gabrielle after she was baptized at Montreal on May 28, 1708) found Jacques de Noyon's promises not true. She was compelled to do manual labor and to accept charity. On July 9,1708, according to a petition she made to Pierre Raimbault, Esquire, the King's counselor and attorney in Canada, she prayed that the joint estate of herself and her husband be dissolved, and that she be authorized to buy in her own name a certain farm in Boucherville. She avers that her husband gives her no support whatsoever; that he is heavily in debt; that she has strong hopes to be able to support herself and her children from the produce of the farm, and to pay of the purchase price by her own efforts, by help she expects to receive from her parents after the war, and by the King's bounty. This petition was approved thesame day. Jacques de Noyon was at that time a sergeant in the marine-troops, in the company of Captain de Tonty. (Ibid, page 37). Abigail and Jacques de Noyon had 15 children. During Father Rasle's war (1722- 25) Jacques de Noyon was seen at Northfield, Province of Massachusetts Bay, in the fall of 1723. De Noyon was apparently well known in New England. Abigail Stebbins, after apparently learning of the death of her father on December 19, 1724, petitioned the Governor General of Canada on July 26, 1725 to travel to visit her kinfolk in Deerfield and to bring back her eldest son. She was granted permission by the Governor on July 6, 1725 to travel the two hundred miles to Deerfield by canoe with Nicolas Binet and Rene Lebeaux. She stayed in Deerfield for a time, giving birth to a daughter, Marie Anne, on February 27, 1726. Her daughter was baptized at Boucherville only on November 5, 1726, so Abigail and the child must have returned to Canada in the late summer or fall. Jacques Rene (Aaron) remained in Deerfield. Abigail was buried in Boucherville, Quebec, Canada on November 5, 1740. Jacques was buried at Boucherville on May 12, 1745.(A very interesting account of Jacques de Noyon is contained in the French Canadian and Arcadian Genealogical Review, VolumeIII, No. 1, Spring 1971.) Burial - [date: 12 MAY 1745] Baptism - [date: 12 Feb 1667/1668] spouse: Stebbins, Abigail (1684 - 1740) - m. 3 Feb 1703/1704 in Deerfield, Franklin Co., MA http://www.leveillee.net/ancestry/stebbens.htm STEBBENS When the 200 Canadians with 140 Caughnawaga and Abenaki Indians commanded by Jean Baptiste Hertel de Rouville attacked Deerfield MA in late winter on 11 Mar 1703/4, Jacques deNoyon was living there with his new wife, Abigail STEBBINS. They had been married by the protestant minister, John Williams on 14 Feb 1704 in Deerfield. Although other families suffered severely from the Indian attack, the Stebbins family was not molested. The family of STEBBINS went to Canada with the French and Indian party, partly as captives, partly as relatives of Jacques deNoyon. In the attack 49 persons were killed and about 109 made prisoners. There were 133 survivors left in Deerfield, some wounded. The captors and captives camped the first night about ten miles from Deerfield, deep snow making an attack on them unrealistic without snowshoes. They traveled northward to Canada in deep snow by the Connecticut Valley, the White and Winooski Rivers to Lake Champlain and then the Richelieu River. Enroute two prisoners made their escape, but 20 were killed. Of the remaining 87, fifty were redeemed before 1731. Most of the prisoners went with the Mohawks to Sault Saint-Louis (Caughnawaga) or with the Abenakis to Saint-Francois-du-Lac. The Stebbins were allowed to go to Boucherville after a short period In Chambly likely under the charge of Hertel. The ancestry of the STEBBINS family probably goes back to John da STUBING of Essex, England who Is recorded on the chancery rolls in 1201, where there is a town or parish called Stebbing, or to Rlchard de STEBING, living at Great Dunmow, Essex Co. ENG in 1275. No direct connection between the earliest known STEBBINS and the STEBBINS in America or Canada has been established. ABIGAIL STEBBINS Jacques DeNOYON, baptized on 12 Feb 1668 at Trois Rivieres: the son of Jean and Marie CHAUVIN was a coureur de bois and explorer. In 1688 and 1689 with two companions, he traveled Into the northwest from Lake Nipigon as far as Lake of the Woods, Rainy Lake and the present Winnipeg River in Manitoba. All this was when La Vernderaye, the future explorer of the same region was only 2 to 3 years old. So to De Noyon and his companions belongs the honor of the discovery of these western lands. We was on voyageur trips for the fur trade in 1690, 1691,1692 and 1693. On 26 Nov 1700 he (as Jean DENOYON) with Louis GOSSELIN asked the governor of New York to trade and stay at Albany; he was apparently not happy in New France. Suspecting spying intentions, the governor of New York was not favorable. Later in Boucherville Jacques was a sergeant in the Company of Alphonse Tonty. Overwhelmed with debts DeNOYON went to New York first and later to Massachusetts. On the 3rd of February (OS) 1703/4 he was married as James DENYO at the age of 36 in Deerfield MA with 20 year old Abigail STEBBENS by the Protestant minister, Rev. John WILLIAMS. Within that month the French and Indians attacked Deerfield on 29 Feb 1704 (OS) or 11 March 1703/4 (NS), sparing him and his wife's family. Accompanying the retreating attackers and their captives, perhaps of necessity, he and his wife went to Boucherville PQ, but he left within a few months for Fort Pontchartrain at Detroit. Jacques & Abigail had ten children born in Boucherville from December 1704 to June 1724. An eleventh child was born in Montreal in 1711. Their twelfth child, Marie-Anne, was born at Deerfield MA the 17th of February 1726 where Abigail was visiting and was baptized at Boucherville the 5th of November of the same year shortly after their return to Canada. The oldest child. Rene DENOYON, having visited his grandparents in 1714 at the age of ten, decided to stay in Deerfield. He was known there as Aaron DENIO and he remained in Deerfield where his grandfather willed him some land. His mother, Abigail STEBBENS visited Deerfield after her father's death where her last child was born. Aaron inherited much of his grandfathers property. He was a shoemaker by trade, but also operated a tavern In Greenfield MA. He served In several military campaigns against the French. The children of Jean Denoyon and Abigail Stebbins have an interesting history from both sides of their parentage. Jacques DeNOYON was the grandson of Marin CHAUVIN and Gilette BONNE, on his maternal side. When his grandfather, Marin CHAUVIN died at a young age, only one child, Jacques mother, had been born to his grandmother. Gilette BONNE, the widow, at the age of about 17 years, married secondly Jacques BERTAULT. Gilette Bonne and Jacques Bertault had 6 children. One daughter, Elisabeth, was engaged by a marriage contract at the age of 10 years in 1669 to Charles Denart, a youth of 20 years. The contract was annulled the same year. At the age of 12 and a half Elizabeth Bertault wed Julien de La Touche, a 30 year old veteran of the Carignan Regiment. His farm apparently did not thrive, since Jacques Bertault often invited his daughter for meals and sent her food. La Touche drank heavily and did not get along with his wife. In frustration. Jacques Bertault and Gilette Bonne attempted to poison then killed La Touche. Their crime discovered, they were sentenced to be executed 9 June 1672. Their daughter Elisabeth was sentenced to observe the execution and to pay a fine. In 1673 she married Noel Laurence a 28 year veteran of the Carignan regiment, and later married a third time Jean Baptiste Pilon. The DeNoyon-Stebbens descendents have therefore an ancestry with an execution of a female ancestor, and also origin from an English lineage. Only after three of her children had been baptized In the Catholic church, was Abigail baptized by Father MERIEL as Marguerite STEBBENS, 24 yrs of age, from Deerfield New England, on 28 May 1708 at Notre Dame de Montreal. Her parents are given as Jean STEBBEN and Dorothee ALEXANDRE. The godparents for Marguerite were Philipe DeRIGAULT Sieur DeVAUDREUIL, Governor General of New France and Marguerite BOUAT. On 9 July 1708, Abigail petitioned the King's Council for a concession with separate property from her husband, he apparently not being a good provider, and was granted a farm of 75 arpents in Boucherville. The Denoyon family was living with Marie CHAUVIN, Jacques' widowed mother. Detailed information of the family is found in the article by MONTY. In a deed drawn 24 Aug 1708 by Notary Tailhandier, Abigail Stebbens received a farm of 3 arpents frontage by 25 arpents of depth with a house, shed and stable. Abigail Stebbins received permission along with Andre GRAIN (her brother-in-law), Nicolas PINET (her son-in-law) and Rene LEBEAUX (nephew of captive Christine Otis of Dover NH) to go to Deerfield to visit her relatives. Permission was granted for 3 months leave. Abigail's father had died a few years prior, but her mother was still living, and her oldest son. Jacques Rene / Aaron was in Deerfield. Permission was granted in August 1725 for the group to go by canoe, with a stop at Fort Chambly to report. They went to Albany first then by the Connecticut River southward. Abigail stayed in Deerfield for the birth of her daughter on 27 Feb 1726, then returned to Boucherville about October of that year. She had been gone for about 14 months. The children of Abigail STEBBENS and Jacques DeNOYON were: Jacques-Rene/Aaron, born 26 & bapt 28 Dec 1704 Ste Famille de Boucherville; went to live with his grandfather in Deerfield MA; as Aaron DENIO married 8 July 1730 Deerfield MA Anna COMBS, she died prob 5 Apr 1774; had 13 children; he died 29 April 1780 Greenfield MA.

Fournier says that shs was ransomed in 1706 by Hertel. Thankful was baptized 23 April 1707 at Chambly as Louise Therese STEBENE, the godparents were Zacharie-Francois HERTEL, Seigneur of Chambly and Madame de PERIGNY, wife of the commandant of Fort Chambly, Her baptismal record says erroneously that she was from "England". Thankful/Louise Therese was the godmother of Jean Baptiste DENOYON, son of her sister Abigail, In 1708 at Boucherville. Thankful STEBBENS and Adrien LEGRAIN had a contract of marriage drawn up on 1 Feb 1711 at Notary Tailhandier. Thankful/Theresa Louise STEBENS and Adrien Charles GRAIN dit LAVALLEE were married 4 Feb 1711 at Ste Famille de Boucherville. Jacques DeNOYON was present at the wedding and quite likely Abigail STEBBENS. From her marriage with Adrien LEGRAIN, Thankful/Therese Louise STEBBENS had 13 children. The family lived in the parish of St Joseph de Chambly. Her death on 11 July 1729 at Chambly followed the birth of the least child about one week. The children of Thankful/Therese Louise STEBBINS and Adrien/Charles LEGRAIN were: Francoise-Therese, born 2 & bapt 3 Mar 1713 Chambly; Guillaume, born 28 & bapt 30 Dec 1714 Chambly; Marie-Jeanne, bapt 30 Aug 1716 Chambly; Marie, bapt 5 Feb 1718 Chambly; marr 7 Jan 1738 St Joseph de Chambly Jean-Francols BESSETTE; Marguerite, marr 27 Nov 1738 St Joseph de Chambly Joseph PEPIN dit LAFORCE.; marr 2nd on 8 Oct 1742 St Joseph de Chambly Michel LAGEU dit SANSCARTIER; Charlotte, bapt 6 Jan 1720 Chambly: marr Mar 1742 La Conception de la Pointe Olivier BAPTISTE VIEN: Isabelle/ELISABETH, born 17 Dec 1721 Chambly (mother called Louise THESMEN): as Elisabeth she marr 22 June 1741 La Conception de la Pointe Olivier JEAN BERTRAND; Judith, bapt 3 Jan 1722 Chambly: Antoine. bapt 1 Nov 1723 Chambly; Marie Therese, born & bapt 2 Feb 1725 Chambly (mother called Marie Therese LEBEAU); marr 23 Jan 1736 St Joseph de Chambly Jean Baptiste LARIVIERE; bur 21 July 1753 St Joseph de Chambly.

Only 27 burials were listed in Chambly from 1701 to 1730. Josiah/Joseph STEBBENS stayed in Canada. He was a witness at the wedding of his niece, Marie DeNoyon, in 1731. On 15 November 1734 a contract of marriage between Joseph and Marguerite Sansoucy was deposited at the archives of Notary Loiseau. The contract was a private one drawn up in the absence of the notary. Joseph married 15 Nov 1734 at Chambly Marguerite JAMES dit LANGLAIS & dlt SANSOUCY. She was the daughter of William/Guillaume JAMES & of Catherine LIMOUSIN. Her father was from England and had been taken prisoner in Newfoundland in January 1697. Josiah/Joseph died the 23rd of April 1753 and was buried at St Mathias de Rouville. His widow remarried 23 Jan 1761 at Chambly PQ Jean-Baptiste MENARD.

EBENEZER STEBBENS After Ebenezer Stebbens arrived in Canada he lived at the home of Jacques de Noyon in Boucherville. Ebenezer STEBBENS was baptized as Ebenezer Jacques Charles, age 28, at Ste Femille de Boucherville 29 June 1708 just one month after his sister Marguerite was baptized. In May 1714 he received his naturalization as citizen of New France. The godparents were Jacques Charles de SABREVOIS and Jeanne CREVIER, wife of Pierre BOUCHER. Since SABREVOIS was commandant of Detroit from 1714 to 1717, Ebenezer STEBBINS may have gone west with him and settled there. Fournier (1992) says that Ebenezer returned to New England. The History of Deerfield says that Ebenezer was in Canada in 1723. GENEALOGY OF STEBBENS FAMILY Line 1 1.

Jacques de Noyon (1668-1745) of Trois Rivers, Quebec is reported wintering on the Ouchichiq River (Rainy Lake, Wisconsin). He journeyed up the Kaministiouia (meansering River) River to Lac Le Pluie (Rainy Lake) along the Great Dog Portage and returned via the Pigeon River. He is believed to be the first person recorded to use the Fort William portage at the mouth of the Kaministiquia (Kaministikwa) River (Ontario). He met the Cree and Assiniboine People. He reported that Lake of the Woods (Ontario) is called Lac des Assiniboils and Rainy Lake is called Lac des Chistinaux (Ontario). It is noteworthy that Lake Winnipeg (Manitoba), was known at this time. He met with the Assiniboine Indian who advised him of Lake Winnipeg and the river (Mackenzie) that flows into the Western Sea (Arctic Ocean). They tried to encourage him to travel with them into that region. His discoveries were not followed up for almost twenty years. 1689- Jacques de Noyon having wintered Rainy Lake is in the Lake of the Woods this year.	Denoyon, Jacques (I6216)
