Molly Ockett (also "Mollyockett", "Mollocket" and "Molly Occut") (born c. 1740, Saco, Maine, died August 2, 1816, Andover, Maine), was a PequawketAbenaki woman who lived in the regions of northern New Hampshire, Maine and central Quebec during colonial times. She was baptized and given the name Marie Agathe. This became "Mali Agat" when spoken in Abenaki, which sounded like "Molly Ockett" to English-speaking listeners.[1]
Molly Ockett was born around 1740 in the area now known as Saco, Maine.[2]
Molly Ockett was reputed to be a skilled healer[3] with a singular sense of humor. She is reputed to have saved the life of future Vice President of the United States Hannibal Hamlin when he was an infant. She was well known by European settlers in the area and her name is still attached to numerous locales in the Androscoggin River valley and surrounding territory.[4]
Molly Ockett was skilled in traditional Abenaki crafts.[5]
Her date of death is given as August 2, 1816. She is buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in Andover, Maine.
