She "tried to escape by running, but was fired upon by one of the Indians and shot through one of her hands. The Indians supposing that she was dead, as she had fallen to the ground when shot, did her no further injury. She had sufficient presence of mind to lie still where she had fallen, and tradition is that as she fell she placed her wounded hand over her face, and that just as the Indians were leaving one of them walked up and looked at her, and seeing her face and head covered with blood left without scalping her. As soon as the Indians had taken their hasty departure she made her way to Cheat river opposite Butler's fort and was taken across the river and cared for by Thomas Butler. When she grew up to womanhood she married a man by the name of Friend." Taken from: The Preston County Journal. Kingwood, West Virginia Thursday, May 12, 1892. Vol. XXV--No. 35. Whole No. 1344.
