    Tecumapease was married twice, Her first husband died before their son was born, and her second husband divorced her. At one time she took off with a french trader but Tecumseh went after her and forced her to go back to her people. Some have her married much later to a Rupe Collins. If she married Rupe Collins she would have been in her late forties when this happened.
