Å“The Captivity of the Sovereigns family occured when Hannah Sovereigns was about 10 years old, herself & three other children & her mother were taken prisoners and kept by the Indians 6 years, at the end of which time Hannah Sovereigns & her mother were given up -- one of the other children had died in the time of captivity & the other one had been killed --- as no record was kept of H. S. age I am not able to ascertain when they were taken prisoners --- My Mother thinks it happened in Pennsylvania.·My Mother is not able to give any particulars of John Sovereigns she don't recollect of seeing any of her uncles after growing up to womanhood, and but seldom heard from them --- as Education was almost entirely unknown to those hardy adventurers, correspondence between different branches of a family, must of course been extremely rare and when a separation of members of a family once took place, but little those after was known of each other --- My mother thinks that John Sovereigns left a family, but where and when he died she don't know.Â
