About this person

Cynthia Ann Parker, Naduah, Narua, or Preloch, was an American woman who was kidnapped around age nine by a Comanche band during the Fort Parker massacre in 1836, where several of her relatives were killed. She was taken with several of her family members, including her younger brother John Richard Parker. Parker was taken into the tribe, eventually having three children with a chief. Twenty-four years later she was relocated and taken captive by Texas Rangers, aged approximately 33, and unwillingly forced to separate from her husband and her sons and conform to European-American society. Her Comanche name means "was found" or "someone found".
