captain or colonel ephraim williams and the mohawk chief hendrick theyanoguin

captain ephraim williams jr, who founded williamstown, mass and williams college, was the great grandson of robert williams, cordwainer

rev john williams, who wrote the redeemed captive about the raid on deerfield which inspired the novel the last of the mohicans, was the grandson of robert williams, cordwainer

captain ephraim williams jr's grandfather, captain isaac williams, and rev john williams father, rev samuel williams, were brothers

or in other words the founder of williamstown and the author of the redeemed captive were first cousins once removed

jean baptiste hertel de rouville, who led the 1704 raid on deerfield, mass during queen anne's war, was sent to acadia where he died 33 years before the 1755 expulsion of the acadians by the british

captain/colonel ephraim williams jr was killed in 1755 by french soldiers on his way to the battle of lake george in the french and indian war in an ambush one month after the start of the expulsion of the acadians

rev williams was ransomed by the release of the notorious pirate or famous privateer ( depending on your point of view ) pierre maisonette dit baptiste who lived in acadia and whose crew were mostly acadians

pierre maisonette dit baptist's knowledge of the north atlantic coast was given as the reason for his being asked to help plan the construction of fort louisburg on cape breton island near the famous oak island where the templar treasure was believed to have been hidden
