On May 13, 1704, the French and Indians made a descent upon Pascommuck
and killed her husband, Benoni Jones, and their two youngest children. Hester was
captured and was taken to Canada as a prisoner. She was obliged, by
her captors, to make the whole journey on foot, and suffered many
hardships and was treated with much cruelty.
She eventually died in Canada after enduring many tortures by the French
priests in their vain endeavors to convert her from the Puritan faith
to the Roman Catholic religion.
