[PW] Re: Novel about Virginia woman captured by Indians

[Reed C Bowman]

First possibility I've come across: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Draper_Ingles
The article mentions the 20th-century novelization /Follow the River/ by 
James Alexander Thom.

If you have a name, or even a part of a name, of this ancestor, it might 
help a lot.
