Dec. 14, 1687[Hv], Samuel Emerson and was a captive among the Indians. [ref 36:126,705] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mrs. Judith (Davis) Emerson was taken and held in captivity several years. Tradition says that her aged mother was captured and dismissed by one band of Indians. She hid in a field of corn and another band discovered and slew her. Among the captives remaining the hands of the Indians, 17 January 1698/9, was Judah (Judith) Emerson. The tradition is still told in Durham that Judith Emerson was redeemed from captivity by a Mr. Morrill for two shirts, one of which he took from his back. Samuel Emerson, thinking his wife was dead, went to Portsmouth to complete arrangements for a second marriage. There he met an old acquaintance and told him his designs. The acquaintance, knowing that some captives had just arrived from Canada and that Mr. Emerson's wife was among them, said "I bet a double drink of grog your wife is in town." The bet was taken, whereupon Mr. Emerson was conducted into the presence of his wife. The Emerson family were living at this time at Back River, Dover.
