Parker and Nocona's oldest son, Quanah, later maintained
his father lived for a few years after the battle.
The facts surrounding the so-called rescue of Cynthia Ann Parker are disputed,
as is the fate of her husband Peta Nocona.
Her greatest legacy was one of her sons with Nocona, Quanah Parker, who became the final great chief of the Comanches.
Cynthia Ann grew up to marry Nocona, and they had three children, two boys, Quanah and Pecos, and a daughter, Topsannah.
Their marriage was apparently a good one as Nocona passed on the tribal custom of the chieftain taking several wives and,
instead, married only one woman- Cynthia.
Later, rumors swirled in the Anglo community about a blue-eyed woman who lived among the Indians as the wife of
the Comanche warrior and chieftain Peta Nocona.
