 Although forced to perform seamstress work and other chores, Mary was treated relatively kindly by Quinnapin and Metacom, likely because of her high status among colonist society as well as her high political and economic value as a hostage.Her main grievance was of abuse by Quinnapin's wife, Weetamoo, who demanded Mary's subservience.One of Mary's children died shortly after their capture, and her two other children were held in captivity separately from her.
