Thomas and Hebzibah had eight children. On June 6, 1693, Hepzibah and two of her children were tomahawked by Indians and the family was broken up. Hepzibah was taken prisoner when the town of Deerfield was sacked in 1704 and was killed on the march to Canada.

McCracken Albert Welles says hepzibah's death occurred in March 1704; Stiles has 29 Feb. 1704, which, if right, would have to be 29 Feb. 1703/4. mrs Parsons agrees with Stiles and syas that Hepzibah was captured by the Indians and was taken captive, dying on the journey to Canada. The late Dr. Robert R. Buell, however, informed me that Hepzibah died in 1734, having survived her second husband. This would be, of course, quite impossible if he married, third, Sarah (Hawks) mattoon on some unknown date, and the date of Sarah's death recorded at Hadley is right.
