Mary (Cooper) Colton Carried Off by Indians!

One of our immigrant ancestors was George Colton (d. 1699). He and his wife Deborah Gardner had ten children. The oldest son was Isaac Colton, another of our ancestors, who married Mary Cooper in 1670 and lived in Longmeadow, Massachusetts. On 26 March 1676 Mary was carried off by Indians after being wounded. She was later abandoned as dead but recovered and outlived her husband Isaac. He died in 1700 and she died in 1742.
