h/o Mary "Polly" Morin

f/o Mary Agnes Catherine Mahan Barger

Per Lois Sutherland Wark:

The children captured with Agnes are listed in a wonderful little volume, Rebel Prisoners at Quebec 1778-1783, compiled in 1981 by Chris McHenry, a librarian who had been researching this subject and came across the prisoner lists in the Haldimand Papers in the Canadian Archives. In a prisoner return dated October 1780, the "Widow Laforce" is listed as age 52; her son William, age 16; Anne, age 20 (in a later return, however, "Ann" is listed as 14); Judith (age not given), and Agnes' married daughter, Agnes Laforce Mahan, age 19. The younger Agnes was the wife of John Mahan and mother of a year-old-son, King Laforce Mahan, who is listed in the prisoners return and thus survived the grueling trek north to Detroit from Kentucky, and the ongoing journey to Montreal.
