| Notes |
On May 13, 1704, the French and Indians made a descent upon Pascommuck and killed her husband, Benoni Jones, and their two youngest children. Hester was captured and was taken to Canada as a prisoner. She was obliged, by her captors, to make the whole journey on foot, and suffered many hardships and was treated with much cruelty.
She eventually died in Canada after enduring many tortures by the French priests in their vain endeavors to convert her from the Puritan faith to the Roman Catholic religion.
