In connection to your last message:I received the following information from a member of the Kent County branch of the OGS.She got it from the Kent Biographical Record of 1904.
"Daniel Dolsen was born May 4, 1773 and died Jn. 23, 1833....He married Abbie Colburn, who, when a girl, met with an unusual and thrilling experience.She was born in Pennsylvania, and in girlhood was captured by a band of Indians and taken to their camp, and made to do the hard labor of cook for the band.She managed to escape some months after, through the connivance of a Frenchman who discovered her captivity. She was the mother of all of Daniel Dolsen's children.After her death he married a widow, Mrs. Holmes.Daniel's children are recorded as follows:isaac, James, John Colurn, Samuel, Betsey (Elizabeth), Mrs. Rev. Griffiths, and Mrs. Rev. Willison."
Daniel was my g-g-g-grandfather, and Isaac my g-g-grandfather.
