For those interested: Heritage Classics has republished "New England
Captives Carried to Canada between 1677 & 1760 during the French and
Indian Wars" Within it is the tale of Mary Otis' siblings and step
grandmother who were taken to Canada after her father, mother etc were
killed in 1689. The book was written by Emma Lewis Coleman in 1925.

From:
.. I wonder about your source for the birthdate and place and the place of death for Anne Otis. I should think 1655 would be more likely.
I recall seeing that their first child was born 3 April 1678 in Dover, N.H.
You might double check the New England Historic Genealogical Register 5:177-223 and the "Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire," by Sybil Noyes, Charles T. Libbey and
Walter G. Davis (1928).
The only thing I can add to what you have is that she was one of three daughters, then young, of Richard Otis by his first wife (Judith, Experience and Anne, along with Richard Jr.'s wife
Susannah, Stephen's wife Mary and daughter Mary along with Richard's son Nicholas) who were taken prisoner by the Indians in 1689, but were recaptured in Conway, N.H., by soldiers who
pursued them.
Best wishes.
