I found a lot of information about her on the websites shown below. Hope this may help you....<br />http://www.geni.com/people/Hannah-Dustin/6000000011545411984<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Duston<br />http://www.heritage-history.com/www/heritage.php?Dir=characters&FileName=dustin.php<br />http://www.seacoastnh.com/Famous_People/Link_Free_or_Die/Hannah_Dustin/<br />http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=4667<br />http://www.hawthorneinsalem.org/Literature/NativeAmericans&Blacks/HannahDuston/MMD2097.html<br />http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2006/08/hannah_dustin_c.htm<br />http://www.hannahdustindefenseleague.com/the-history-of-hannah-dustin.html<br />As you can see, there's been a lot written about Hannah and her family. To find out if you are a descendent, you might want to check out Geni.com, which is where I learned that she was my 8th great grandmother. I already knew that my 3rd great grandmother was a Dustin, and her father was Bechias Dustin, but didn't connect through the next 4 generations until I created my tree here on geni.com.

When I was young Grandmother had a Historical book with Hannah's story that I would read every time I went to her house. Grandmother said Hannah was a distant Aunt. She has been talked about in our family for as long as I can remember. I have always wanted to no more about family linage but all seems vagueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700684286713079888.post-89200741410944508742011-03-03T16:00:14.288-05:002011-03-03T16:00:14.288-05:00Hi Cousin Leslie Ann! Love the new look to your b...Hi Cousin Leslie Ann! Love the new look to your blog, it's great! My fearless female ancestor I'd like to know more about is my 8th great grandmother, Hannah Emmerson Dustin, who was captured by Indians in 1697 about 6 days after the birth of her 13th child. The Indians captured her and her friend and midwife, and the infant, and took them on a long trek from their home in Haverhill, MA, to New Hampshire. On the way the Indians killed Hannah's 6 day old baby daughter, Martha, by bashing her head against a tree because she was crying too much. By the time Hannah got to New Hampshire, she and her midwife/friend and a 14 year old white boy who had also been captured hatched a plan to kill the Indians and go back home. After they were successful in killing their captors, Hannah went back to take scalps, because she knew there was a reward for Indian scalps. When she returned to her home town, she was awarded a bounty of about 50 pounds, which I'm sure was considered a lot of money in the late 1600's! There are two statues that memorialize her trials with the Indians, one in her home town in Haverhill, MA, and another one in NH near the site of the killing of her Indian captors. She was the first American woman to ever be immortalized with a statue! Keep up the great work on your blog!
