She died when she was 52 years old.Excerpt from Foster's Daily Democrat, Dover, NH, Wednesday Evening, June 28,1989: "A Tercentennial Story by Jim Aldrich, Special to the Democrat" An eleven year old Dover girl taken captive by Abenaki Indians 300 years ago this summer -- and whose exact identity has always been a mystery -- has now been identified by a Canadian nun researching her family history. The Abenaki seized the child in the June 28, 1689, raid on Cocheco, now downtown Dover, New Hampshire, in what was the opening attack of the five French and Indian Wars. The Indians carried her across the vast northern New England wilderness to Canada where she was raised by a French family in a small village near the City of Quebec.She married there seven years later as a comely bride of 18, and spent the rest of her life in New France, much of it at a time when New England and New France were at war.Although she has been well known by her French name, her precise English identity has remained a mystery to historians and genealogists alike. That is, until now. The discovery by Sister Annette Potvin of Edmonton, Alberta, made in the course of family research, clears up the mystery and establishes for the first time the true parental identity of "Francoise Rozotty," the name of the captive as it appears on an ancient French document.
