Hi Jackie and Monte:
In OUR FRENCH CANADIAN ANCESTORS by Thomas Laforest, Vol 20, Chapter 14,
there is a very interesting article about Jean Baptiste Otis dit Langlais.
There is no mention of Paul Nathaniel but it does tell what happened after
the massacre to Jean Baptiste (John) and his sister Francoise Rose. There
is a reference NEW ENGLAND CAPTIVES CARRIED TO CANADA by Emma Lewis Coleman
(1925) Also a GENEALOGIE de la FAMILLE OTIS (1921) by Gerard Malchelosse.
They might prove interesting reading if you can find them. I also have Jean
Baptiste and Francois Rose in my database.
