 Little more is known of the fate of the couple; however, G.A.Robinson, in his diaries, and John Batman, in his letters, refer to a 'civilised' aboriginal woman at Ben Lomond who was subsequently abducted by hostile Aboriginal clans.James Simpson, police magistrate at Campbell Town wrote in 1831 that, '"Black Kate"' left William Ponsonby after a domestic dispute and was 'forcibly taken by the blacks at Ben Lomond', even though she 'spoke nothing of the language'.
