I think what you may be referring to is the story of Rachel Parker Plummer who was a cousin to the famous Quanah Parker.
Some pioneers were captured by Commanche Indians in Texas about 1840. This is one of those classic frontier tales and is usually told as the Quanah Parker story rather than being referred to as a Plummer story.
Many refernces can be found on the Internet but since they are fleeting I'll only list the one on Wikipedia which is not necessarily the best.
