(102) III. Betty," * b. ; m. Samson Colby, of Rumford, int. ent. Sep. 19, 1742; lived in Hopkinton, N. H. ; afterwards m. Ezekiel Straw.
* While her father's family were in Mr. Jonathan Eastman's garrison (on the Mill Road, opposite the house of Mr. Aaron Shute, Concord, N. H.), on one occasion " Betsey went out to milk the cows, just at twilight. She was accompanied by a soldier named Roane, for a guard. While she milked the cows, Roane sat on the fence ; but instead of looking out for Indians, his eyes were attracted towards Betsey. She, observing his gaze, said, ' Eoane, you better look the other way, and see if there are any Indians near.' Turning round at that moment, he saw an Indian with tomahawk in hand, creeping slyly toward him. Roane screamed, leaped from the fence, and run, gun in hand, leaving Betsey to do the best she could for herself. Fortunately, however, Betsey regained the garrison in safety." (Bouton's Hist. Concord, N. H.)
