In June 1796 at Salisbury, Massachusetts, ... ten-year old ... Samuel Gill was captured by Abnakis and brought back with them to their Canadian fort, Odanak, ... near the mouth of the St. Francis River. Some time later a little girl known to us only as "Miss James" was taken prisoner at Kennebunk, Maine; she, too, was carried away to Odanak. Both children were adopted by Indians, baptized in the Roman Catholic faith, brought up in the Indian manner, and remained with the tribe for the rest of their lives. They were married [probably around 1715] by the venerable missionary, Father Aubery. --"The White Chief of the St. Francis Abnakis—Some Aspects of Border Warfare: 1690" by John C. Huden, in Vermont History, July 1956 (24:3), p. 199.
