Caty Sage

Nearby stood the home of James and Lovice Sage, whose five-year-old daughter Caty was abducted in 1792. Fifty-six years later, her brother Charles found her in eastern Kansas after a Wyandot Indian told him that a woman named Yourowquains, who had features similar to his, lived with the Wyandots. Another brother, Samuel, investigated and confirmed that she was their sister. Through an interpreter, Yourowquains said that a white man had abducted her. She had lived with the Cherokee before they gave her as a present to the Wyandots, who adopted her. She had three Wyandot husbands and died in Jan. 1853.
