days, the Hougland family had suffered severely by the Indians in their

left for dead, but recovered again, and joined once more in the service.
He was taken prisoner the third time, and was then taken to one of their
towns in Indiana,  stuck full of pine faggots and burnt at the stake. The
place was visited by ELZA, LEWIS  & DAVID HOUGLAND, when they went
west."(This was after their mother, Anna Stallcup's death in 1824.)
