    Excerpt from "The Descendants of William Beardsley and Mary Harvey" by Ellwood Count Curtis:
    On 30 September 1673 this poor woman was "presented" at the County Court for wearing silk, probably her wedding clothes. On 29 May 1676 she was fined 10 shillings for the same offense. She was very seriously injured by the savage Indians when they attacked Hatfield in 1673. She suffered for many years because of these wounds. On 29 February 1704 she was captured by Indians. She was forced to march toward Canada with them. When she was unable to move as fast as they ordered, she was brutally killed.
