History of the Indian Tribes of Hudson's River — Passage 88 (part 2)
[Edward Manning Ruttenber (1872)] On the 2Qth, the Wappinger again appeared and after satisfying himself that ' of the Indians in the hands of the Dutch none had died, said that six of the captives held by the Indians were then at the river side; that the* seventh had been sent for, and that all would be restored in three days; but he was unable to redeem his promise. On the ad of December he brought up two children, and stated that of the remaining five, three were in the hunting grounds and he could not find them, while the other two were detained by a sick squaw. He would, however, return them as soon he could obtain them, for which purpose he had already purchased Albert Heyman's oldest daughter. Whether the promise was fulfilled or not does not appear.
