Rev. Williams and more than 100 other English settlers of Deerfield, Massachusetts, were marched overland to Canada and held captive at Fort Chambly. His wife died along the route and one of the Williams daughters was adopted by a Mohawk family and assimilated into the Indian culture, later marrying a Mohawk man. His narrative of his captivity went through numerous editions and was a source drawn on by James Fenimore Cooper in writing The Last of the Mohicans.
