Following the Deerfield Massacre, Mary, "being held with the other prisoners in John Sheldon's house, gave a cup of water to a young French officer who was dying. He was perhaps a brother of Hertel de Rouville. May it not have been gratitude for this act that she was left behind when the order came to march? She died of grief a few weeks later." NOTE: Deerfield Vital Records show her death date as Apr 4. Northampton vital records indicate Apr 9.
Children: John Catlin, Mary Catlin French(wife of Thomas French), Elizabeth Catlin Corse, Hannah Catlin Bascom, Joseph Catlin, Esther Catlin Smead, Sarah Catlin Mitchell, Jonathan Catlin, Ruth Catlin, and John Catlin III.
