EARLY HISTORY OF WOODSTOCK
She was then about twelve or fifteen years old, and at that tender age was made prisoner by the Indians. She saw her father murdered and scalped, and dared betray no emotion lest those red devils should visit upon herself the same fate. And, nerved to desperation, she, in order to save the life of her little six-year-old brother—Asel Finch, who afterwards lived at Tecumseh and was father-in-law to the late Judge Blanchard—carried him on her back sixty miles through an unbroken forest, with the gory scalp of her father continually in view, dangling from his murderers and her' captors' belt.
