I'll try to post details soon. There appears to be no evidence that she bore a child fathered by one of her Indian captors.

I have wondered if I have Native American blood in my veins, as some important dates seem not to have been recorded. Seems remarkable that her date of return from captivity would not be known.

I am the daughter of Mary Pursley...I think you are the distant cousin who helped her in her research. I would be very interested in receiving copies of pictures you have...my son is doing a report on grandpa thomas and phoebe at school this month. he has to dress up as thomas and tell of his life and I thought having some pictures to put on his project board would be great, if I could get my hands on some. I will look forward to hearing from you. Sharon Grogg Hi. I am the daughter of Mary Pursley…I think you are the distant cousin who helped her in her research.

I have two books of genealogy that detail the descendants of Edward Cunningham - "Colonial Cunninghams of the Virginias and Their Descendants" by Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Blech, and "Adam and 500 More Cunninghams of the Valley of Virginia, c.1734 - c.1800" by Betty Cunningham Newman. Both books are thoroughly indexed and neither contains anyone with the name DeWitt. I am a fifth generation direct descendant of Edward Cunningham, from his youngest son Enoch.

Thomas died in 1826, long before the invention of photography, and Phoebe died in 1845 when photography was in its infancy so there was almost certainly no photo of her ever taken, especially since she was living at that time in a rather remote area of northwestern Virginia, far from any center of civilization that might have had an early photographer.

My grandmother Ethel Kemp Maze used to tell us kids the story of Grandma Phebe and the Indians. We all just thought she was making it up most of the time til I visited Grandma Phebe's grave marker and I realized maybe she wasn't making it up. I just put flowers on her grave last Saturday and am very interested in anything I can find on her or Thomas. Also I would love to visit his grave. Does anyone have a photo of her or Thomas? We have our annual Kemp reunion the Saturday before Fathers Day and all talk about our famous Grandparents. Love the history. Carol keep me posted about your book. would love to read it.

I, too, am working on a fictionalized story of these two pioneers. I have been working on it off and on for about 11 years. Phoebe's story, I feel, would make a great TV movie.
