Grandma Betsy - Grandma Betsy is actually patterned after my own great great grandmother Elizabeth Pennington. She was captured by the Cherokee Indians at the age of 4 and rescued when she was 14.
When her brother came to rescue her from the Indians, Betsy like so many captives did not want to return. She had forgotten her native tongue and needed to relearn how to live life as a white settler.
