  • Notes 
    • She was taken captive by the Indians in the raid of 29 Aug 1708, carried to Canada, converted to the Catholic religion and baptized 2 Feb 1710. When her vows were taken to become a nun her name was changed to Mary (Adalaide) Silver. She died after 30 years of convent life and was buried in the church at the corner of St. Paul and St. Sulpice Streets, Montreal. Her remains were removed in 1800 to the new convent on Avenue des Pins. Her name appears on a roll of English prisoners in the hands of the French and Indians dated 1710/1711.
