The Yankee captive Gills had seven children. The oldest was a girl, Jeanne-Magdaleine, born in 1716; in 1735 she was married to "Mons. Hannis," a German [Johannes?] who had been captured somewhere in the American colonies. Some of their children married Indians, notably Obumsawins and Toksuses; these names are familiar even today in Vermont as well as in Canada. --"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. 199-200.
