Draper Manuscript.163176-177: "In 9 Aug 1790 nine year old Sarah
"Parsains" Cozine, bapt:1781-PA, she was scalped by the Pottowattomie
Indians, but spared her life. She was a captive for 5 years being
released 14 Sep 1795 [after the Treaty of Greenville]. She married and
lived until 1855. And her 12 years old brother Daniel Cozine,
Bapt:1779-PA were taken by the Pottowattomie Indians, Daniel's skull
was crushed by a tomahawk [these were the children of Cornelius Cosyn
and Mary Brower and Step-children of Samuel Demaree].
"Sara escaped and found her way back to her mother's family. When
they, Samuel Demaree, Jr. and Mary Brouwer Cozine Demaree, went to
Indiana, Sara went with them, about 1812, having married Jesse Blanton
Oct. 28 1800, at Shelbyville."
Demarees and Blantons settled on Indian Kentuck Creek about 6 miles NE
of the present Madison, IN. Alarmed by the Pigeon Roost massacre by
Indians near Henryville, IN, they hastened back to KY, but when the
Indian troubles subsided they returned to IN. Sarah Cozine Blanton,
probably a widow, lived in her later years in a home built for her
near the home of William Underwood Demaree [son of her half brother,
Daniel Demaree], known to all as Aunt Sally. She was regarded as
eccentric for her following some Indian habits of her captivity time,
would kindle a fire in the Indian way and in the summer lived in a
tent or wigwam. She was still living in 1855.
