My mom tells the story she was told by her grandmother, Sarah Watkins Jones. When coming to Illinois from Wisconsin a tribe of Indians raided their camp. They took Sarah, as she had blonde hair and blue eyes. Well her mom was not going to allow anyone to steal her chld. Winifred marched into the camp of Indians and grabbed up Sarah, threw down some blankets and food. Together they marched out of camp.
