Betsy's family found her via searching and paying money for her return. The book I have does not say how much money or who the money was paid to. Catherine spent many years with the Indians. She headed after several years towards "the white mans town" but a dog kept following her. She went back and secured the dog and took off by herself. The Indians followed her. She hid in a hollowed out log as they walked across the top of her. Catherine eventually married a Huston---which is how I am tied to her. My GGGUncle in Wallace, NE stated this story to the family and I also received this information from an out of print book called the Houston Family history. None of the sources of my information specifically state how long she was gone, but indicate several years.
