About Abigail Royce

David Hoyt's widow endured all the horrors of captivity and returned to Deerfield. She afterwards married Dea. Nathaniel Rice and moved to Wallingford, Ct.

=================================

Abigail Cook was born around 1660. She was the widow of Joshua Pomroy when she married the widower David Hoyt around 1691. David already had three teenaged children, and he and Abigail added three more children to the family. During the attack, one of their children is said to have hidden in a grain bin and avoided capture. However, the rest of the family was captured. Abigail was the only one to return. She eventually married Nathaniel Rice of Wallingford, Connecticut.
