a master blacksmith. Richard Jr. Survived the massacre of 1689 but was wounded

Susannah administered his estate in 1701-02 and was appointed guardian of 5

Otheys Sr.. INTRODUCTION: In general my genealogy of the Otis family follows
the genealogy of THE OTIS FAMILY, CANADIAN BRANCH BY GERARD MALCHELOSSE, His
genealogy of the Otis family."Branche Canadienne" was printed in 1921.The
reader should bear in mind that there are two members of the Otis family whom
have given Migraine headaches to the most outstanding genealogists. Mostly,
It has to do with "HOW"the following two individuals are related.
John (Jean-Baptiste dit L'Anglais) Otis. & Francoise-Rose Otis (Francoise
Rozzotti) who married Jean Poitevin (Potvin) 29 Oct 1696 in Beauport, P. Q. Some
genealogists believe that Francoise Rose could have been the daughter of Richard
Sr's son, Stephen (Etienne) Otis and Mary Pitman. GERARD MALCHELOSSE who has
done extensive research on the Otis family has listed Jean-Baptiste and Francoise
Rose as children of Richard Sr. Otis second marriage to Anna-Shuah Starbuck.
I have received information which contradicts Malchelosse's claim that Francoise-Rose
Otis is the daughter of Richard Sr. Otis. ACCORDING FRANCOISE ROSE OTIS' MARRIAGE
CONTRACT No. 193062 dated October 29, 1696 before Notaire M. Duprac of Beauport,
the contract reads "Francoise Rosotis, origine (Anglaise des environs de
Boston) Parents de Francoise Rosotis. Steven Otis et Marie Otis (sa mere)"
which means "Francoise Rosotis, of English origin from the area of Boston.
Francoise Rosotis parents are Steven Otis and Marie Otis, her mother. RICHARD
SR. OTIS (OTHEYS), a blacksmith, born 27 Feb, 1626 in Glastonbury, Somerset County,
England, settled in Dover, N. H. in about 1655. Richard Sr. Otis originally
came to "New England" to join his uncle, JOHN OTIS who was already
established in Ingham, Massachusetts. In the early part of 1655, Richard Sr.
was a citizen of Boston. In the fall of that year he was granted 10 acres of
land in Dover, New Hampshire, and by 1656 he owned 50 acres of land. Richard
Sr. Otis' land is located on the east side of the Concheco River, a few acres
from Major Richard Waldron's property in Dover, N. H. ( In the 1600s, the Dover
area was known as CONCHECO). Richard Sr. was one of the four town elders. Richard
Sr. was married 3 times. He had at least 8 children with his first wife, ROSE
STOUGHTON. (Married in about 1650) They were: 1. RICHARD JR., 2. STEPHEN SR.
(ETIENNE) 3. SOLOMON, 4. NICOLAS, 5. EXPERIENCE (ESPERANCE). 6. JUDITH,
7. MARTHA (ROSE#1), and 8. ANN. RICHARD SR. OTIS had at least one child with
his second wife, ANNE-SHUAH STARBUCK (Widow of James Heard) (Married in 1676)
JOHN, later baptized as "JEAN-BAPTISTE" dit L' ANGLAIS OTIS. RICHARD
SR. OTIS had at least two children with his 3rd wife GRIZEL WARREN (Married
in about 1686). 1. MARGARET (later baptized CHRISTINE), and 2. HANNAH. In
about 1676, at Dover, New-Hampshire, located slightly northwest of Portsmouth,
N. H. and very close to what is now the Maine border, (Maine did not become a
State until March 1820 and in the 1600's, Maine was part of The Massachusetts
Bay Colony) and also relatively close to what is now the Massachusetts border,
a certain Major RICHARD WALDRON, Magistrate and Officer of the Militia was involved
in dishonest dealings with the nearby Indians . (For a brief genealogy on Major
Richard Sr. Waldron see the notes under Edward Jr. Starbuck.) There were several
skirmishes and two military companies under the orders of WALDRON captured approximately
350 Abenaki indians. Many were imprisoned without reason, 10 were put to death
by hanging, while many others were deported to Boston, or sold as slaves. The
Abenaki Indians of what is now Maine, waited patiently for 13 years for their
hour of revenge. Vengeance came after nightfall on the 27th & early morning
hours of the 28th of June 1689, when four hundred Abenaki Indians attacked the
peaceful village of Dover, N.H. (There were other indian tribes involved. i.e.
Penacooks, Ossipees and Pequaioketts). Because of previous incidents with the
indians, seven houses in the Village of Dover had become fortified garrisons
enclosed by a wooden stockade fence.1. Major Richard Waldorn's 2. Richard Otis,
3. Peter Coffin, 4. His son Tristram Coffin, 5. the Gerrish Garrison, 6. The
Heard Garrison, and 7. the Paine Garrison. The local residents felt safer
sleeping at night in these fortified garrisons. Indian squaws pretending to
be traders were granted access to some of the garrisons when they requested shelter
for the night. As everyone slept, the squaws quietly opened the compound gates
which allowed the 400 indians to begin what is known as the "Concheco Massacre"
of 1689. (The Concheco river flows through Dover, N. H.) The OTIS family was
not spared. RICHARD SR. was killed in his bed along with several of his children.
His 2 year Old daughter, Hannah & his married son STEPHEN SR. were also killed.
STEPHEN SR's sons, NATHANIEL and STEPHEN JR.were abducted by the indians and
taken to Quebec and Stephen's daughter Rose (later baptized Francoise-Rose) was
also abducted and taken to Quebec. It is believed that STEPHEN SR.'S wife,
MARY PITMAN may have been killed also, as "Nowhere" does her name
appear after that date. RICHARD SR.'s 3rd wife, GRIZEL WARREN, and their baby
MARGARET (CHRISTINE) only a few months old were also taken prisoner. His
daughters from his first marriage, ROSE#1(MARTHA), JUDITH, and EXPERIENCE (ESPERANCE),
were also taken captive but were rescued within the next few days in Conway,
N. H. as the indians were quickly fleeing the soldiers in their pursuit. JOHN
(Jean-Baptiste), from Richard Sr's second marriage, was also taken captive.
Major Richard Waldron was killed in the attack and his body was horribly mutilated
as well as his son-in-law, Henry-Nathaniel Lee, married to Waldron's daughter
Esther. William Horne, husband of Elizabeth Clough was also murdered. Others
killed in this massacre were Robert Evans, Joseph Dug, Joseph Duncan, Daniel
Lunt, Joseph Saunders, Joseph Buss, Willam Buss, Willliam Arms and Mary Paul,
widow of Thomas Hanson & Elizabeth Boyce wife of Tobias Hanson and Daughter
in law of Mary Paul. It is said that 23 inhabitants were killed and 29 were
taken captive. A complete list of all those killed in the massacre does not exist.
So far I have been able to locate 17 of the 23 and I continue to search for the
others. Here is an alphabetical List of those Killed. 1. Arms, William 2.
Boyce, Elizabeth (Wife of Tobias Hanson) 3.Buss, Joseph 4. Buss, William
(Joseph & William Buss are sons of Joseph Buss & Elizabeth Jones M 21
Dec 1671 in Concord, Mass. 5. Duncan, Joseph 6. Dug, Joseph 7. Evans, Robert
8. Ham, William (Husband of Elizabeth Clough) 9. Lee, Henry-Nathaniel ( Son
in Law of Major Waldron married to Esther Waldron) 10. Lunt, Daniel ( 11.
Otis, Hannah 12 Otis, Richard Sr. 13. Otis, Stephen 14. Paul, Mary (Widow
of Thomas Hanson) 15. Pitman, Mary (wife of Stephen Otis Probably killed as
nowhere does her name appear after that date) 16. Saunders, Joseph 17. Waldron,
Maj. Richard. It was common practice for the Abenaquis to flee with their captors
in different parties and in different directions. Grizel and her child with
one party, Experience, MARTHA (ROSE#1), & Judith, with another, Nathaniel
and Stephen Jr with another, and Rose#2, (Francoise-Rose) and John (Jean-Baptiste)
yet with another. Records show that GRIZEL WARREN resurfaced in Montreal in 1693,
when she was baptized on May 9th, 1693, from GRIZEL WARREN to MARIE-MADELEINE
OUARREN and her infant daughter MARGARET was baptized CHRISTINE. There is a
marriage contract indicating GRIZEL WARREN married Phillippe Robitaille on Oct
26, 1693. ROSE (#2) & JOHN were taken to Quebec by way of the "Chaudiere"
river. Rose #2 and John did not arrive in Quebec until the fall of that year
and were horribly mistreated during that period. ROSE#2 was about 11 years old
in 1689. She was purchased from the Indians by the French and was raised by
a French family in Beauport, Quebec. She was baptized FRANCOISE-ROSE OTIS (OTISSE)
. JOHN, who was only about 6 years old at the time of his abduction, was not
so fortunate. He was brutally tortured by the indians. It is said that they
cut off his ears and removed many of his fingernails. He was forced to live
with the Indians for several years. Eventually John was purchased from an old
indian squaw who had befriended him. On the 10th of April 1700, JOHN OTIS,
now about 17 years old was baptized "JEAN-BAPTISTE" (dit) L' Anglais
OTIS. (dit) Loosely translated means AKA (also known as) " L' Anglais"
= "The Englishman" it occurs extensively in French surnames. STEPHEN
SR. OTIS' son NATHANIEL was later baptized "Paul" and STEPHEN JR. was
baptized "JOSEPH-MARIE". See JEAN-BAPTISTE's and FRANCOISE-ROSE's
individual records for information about their marriages and children. ROSE#2
(FRANCOISE-ROSE), JOHN (JEAN-BAPTISTE), NATHANIEL (PAUL), STEPHEN JR. (JOSEPH-MARIE)
All four chose to remain in Quebec during the period of repatriation of 1714,
as most of them had already married and started families by that time. RICHARD
SR's son NICHOLAS managed to survive the Concheco massacre, however he was killed
by indians on 26 July, 1696 while returning home from church with his wife Joyce.
She was abducted and later released. RICHARD SR.'s daughter EXPERIENCE (ESPERANCE)
was also attacked by indians in 1696. She was scalped, lived long enough to
give birth to a child, and died shortly thereafter, as she was never able to
recover from her wounds. John Tuttle married to Judith Otis, daughter of Richard
Sr., was also killed by Indians on May 7, 1712. I am proud to be a descendant
of both RICHARD SR. and JOHN (JEAN-BAPTISTE) OTIS. And, FRANCOISE-ROSE we're
proud to have you aboard as well. Francoise Rose's Grand-Daughter, Marie-Victoire
Potvin, married Jean-Marie-Francois, Pradet dit St-Gelais 15 Jan 1755 at Baie
