"Elizabeth Masters was born in Minnisink, 21 March, 1757, then
a wilderness with but few inhabitants. When she was an infant
the settlement was attacked by the Indians. The mother, with
her child in her arms, fled, and made her way to a place of
safety, just before being taken by the Indians. Her mother's
sister, Mary Walling, was seized by them; and killed and
scalped. Her grandmother, Susan Walling, in making her escape
through the swamps, sank in the mire and mud. The Indians
passed within a few feet of her, but did not discover her. She
was found by her friends after the Indians left, and extricated
almost dead, having remained in the mud almost one whole
day."--_Letter of Henry Albert Horton, 1874._
