At 75 years of age, she decided to go back for a visit to Virginia with a party that was preparing to make the journey. She climbed onto a four-year-old stallion at the Court House steps in Flemingsburg and rode it all the way to Culpepper, Virginia and back, showing no more fatigue than the rest of the group. Shortly afterwards, she rode to Maysville on horseback to bring back some apples newly arrived from upriver, planted the seeds, and eventually ate the apples from a large orchard grown from them.11
