"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.
