She was captured by the French-speaking Mohawks, who were raiding from Quebec and lived the rest of her life content and happy as a Mohawk.
She had 4 children, and her son, who spoke and read English, French and Haudenosaunee Mohawk, was sent to the Séminaire de Québec to become a priest. In fact I believe he was bi and that he had a French lover. This BFF was a de La Rochefoucauld, and my ancestor emigrated to France to live together very grandly in Versailles (the town, not the palace) for at least a decade.
Eventually, he became a radical priest/salonist in Paris, and for whatever reason, married the daughter of an Irish-French merchant family, and had children. She also was a revolutionary, and the couple participated in The Paris Commune, after which they were arrested, leaving their teenage children destitute. Two of their children, including their son who is my ancestor, immigrated back to the USA to Boston, where the original ancestor (the one adopted by Mohawks) had family.
Your turn.
