“In 1704, Pierre Roy and Catherine Ducharme took into their home Elizabeth Corse, an eight-year-old English girl taken captive in the Deerfield raid. The child was born in Deerfield on February 6, 1696, the daughter of James Corse and Elizabeth Catlin. Her father was deceased at the time of the raid and her mother died on the march north. Catherine Ducharme stood as her godmother when Elizabeth was baptized into the Catholic faith in Montréal on July 14, 1705. In 1706, the child requested citizenship in New France.[ 886] Elizabeth Corse had a child out of wedlock in the spring of 1712, when she was sixteen, highlighting the vulnerability of female captives and servants. In the fall of that year, she married Jean-Baptiste Dumontet dit Lagrandeur, a thirty-year-old French Huguenot who had come to the French colony from New York. The couple had eight children before Jean died in 1729. In January 1730, less than eight months after the death of her first husband, Elizabeth, at age thirty-four, married Pierre Monet dit Laverdure, a man eight years her junior. It was about this time that her brother James came from Deerfield in an unsuccessful attempt to get her to return to her family in New England. Pierre and Elizabeth had six children in six years. Elizabeth lived to be just shy of seventy when she died and was buried at La Prairie in 1766.[ 887] Elizabeth Corse was a first cousin of Freedom, Marthe, and Abigail French. Their father was Thomas French, a blacksmith, town clerk, and deacon in Deerfield. Thomas and his wife Mary Caitlin had six children: Mary, Thomas, Freedom, Marthe, Abigail, and Jonathon. The youngest was born on February 1, 1704, six weeks before the raid. All were taken captive; however, Mary Caitlin and their newborn infant were murdered shortly after capture. Thomas and the remaining five children were marched north and survived the winter journey. Apparently, they spent a couple of years with their First Nations captors. Thomas French, along with Mary and Thomas, two of his children, were ransomed two years later and returned to their New England home.[ 888]”
