Notes - On February 29, 1704 a force of 50 French soldiers and 200 Abenakis Indians under the command of Hertel de Rouville attacked the town of Deerfield, Massachusetts. Deerfield was a town of 300 residents at that time and was the northwesternmost settlement in New England. In the attack, 56 residents were killed and 109 taken prisoner and half of the buildings burned. Among the prisoners was a 12 year old girl named Sarah Allen. Sarah was one of nine children of the Allen family of Deerfield. The Allens lived in one of the fourteen houses located in the southern part of Deerfield. This area was not penetrated by the attack, however it appears that Sarah was away from home at the time of the attack and was taken prisoner. The prisoners were marched from Deerfield to Montreal. It took them until early April to reach Fort Chambly.
Sarah was taken to Kahanawake and kept there for a while before being sold to Jean Quenet, a Montreal merchant. Jean was a successful merchant with property in Lachine and Montreal. He imported fashions from Paris. One of his properties was at Baie D'Urfe and that is where Sarah worked as a domestic. On 30 May 1705, Sarah was baptized by the Jesuits and renamed Marie Madeleine Helene before her godfather Pierre Lamoureux and her godmother Etiennette Hurtubise, the wife of Jean Quenet. She was then placed as a domestic in the house of Jean Quenet at Baie D'Urfe. During the following years John Sheldon led three expeditions to Canada to rescue the captives. Edward Allen, Sarah's father, was a member of the third expedition in 1707. He was in Montreal in August 1707. War broke out between France and England during this time however, and they were prevented from completing their mission. There is no record that Edward Allen visited Sarah or, if he did, what the result was. Sarah had 2 brothers; Edward 20, and Samuel 5 and 4 sisters; Mercy 18, Martha 13, Jemima 10 and Hannah in Deerfield at the time of the raid.
Sarah was an educated young lady, as she could sign her marriage certificate and Guillaume could not.
