Ten years later Eastman returned as a Captian and post commander at Snelling. He brought his new wife Mary Henderson Eastman. He was greeted by his Sioux friends and his first family. This is evident from Mary's contact with the first wife and the drawings of Nancy as a young girl. But later Mary (the first wife) tried to sell Nancy to Rev. Samuel Pound and Nancy married Many Lightenings.Mary died somewhere in Redwood county Minnisota. Possibbly alone because both Nancy and her husband saw her and her mother as meddling and mean. Many Sioux woman die in the winter because no Husband, son or son-in-law will take care of them.
