Answer 1

Answer:

Mary Rowlandson, née Mary White, she was born c. 1637, Somerset, England. Mary was a British American colonial author who wrote one of the first 17th-century captivity narratives, in which she told of her capture by Native Americans, revealing both elements of Native American life and of Puritan-Indian conflicts in early New England. Mary White was taken to America by her parents when she was a child. They lived in Salem in the Massachusetts Bay Colony until 1653, when they moved to the new frontier village of Lancaster. In 1656 she married Joseph Rowlandson; he was ordained a Puritan minister in 1660, and he became Lancaster’s first regular minister. Events of the next 20 years of her life are obscure.
