襲擊鹿田，麻塞諸塞州的安妮皇后戰爭，1704年2月29日
鹿田很快的陷入侵略者手中，五十六個英國男人、女人以及小孩被殺，超過100個城裡居民被武力脅迫，穿過重重大雪行軍到加拿大。鹿田當地的牧師，約翰‧威廉斯、和他的妻子及五個孩子都在俘虜群中。在這段行程中有21個人死亡，威廉斯夫人也是其中之一，牧師則僥倖在旅途中存活。過了一年多，囚犯發動戰爭，他和其他六十名俘虜重回麻州，但有些俘虜留在當地，加入美國本國或法國社會。
Deerfield quickly fell to its invaders. Fifty-six English men, women, and children were killed and more than 100 residents were driven on a forced march through heavy snows to Canada. Deerfield's minister, the Reverend John Williams, his wife and five children, were among the captives. Twenty-one of the prisoners died along the way. Mrs. Williams was one of them. The minister, however, survived the trip. After more than a year as a prisoner of war, he and 60 other captives returned to Massachusetts. But some stayed, joining either Native American or French society.
