Later on May 10th a newspaper in New York City published a letter dated May 6th from Albany: “Tuesday last we were alarmed by an Express from the Carrying Place, with Advice, that two Indians were come in there and reported, That two Parties of French and Indians were on the March, one designed for the Carrying-Place, and the other for German Flats: Another party of the Militia, and the Troops are going to their Aid; - A Man, with his Wife and six Children, were carried away from the German Flats, by a Party of Indians; who, in their Way, about a Mile from thence killed and scalped another Man.” This report is undoubtedly the capture of the Hilts family and provides indication that Godfrey and Elizabeth were two of the six Hilts children. Both of their parents and four of their siblings were then killed by these Indians while they were taken captive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011561561559317444.post-34928163336641856062022-11-16T09:48:17.112-07:002022-11-16T09:48:17.112-07:00Thank you Jill, for your comments and reaching out...Thank you Jill, for your comments and reaching out to me via email. I have some of your lineage as found in the book "Godfrey Hilts and His Candian Descendants", however it ends with your Great grandfather, Frances (Frank) John Hilts (1866-1943) found on page 167 and only listed three of his children.

I laughed when you said this makes your head spin. I am obsessed and can’t stop trying to solve the Christopher Christofel Stophel puzzles. I found your blog through an Ancestry cousin who is also a descendant of Godfried.
