It's The Courage of Sarah Noble by Alice Dalgliesh! I was able to reverse-engineer it by searching "books similar to The Sign of the Beaver," so yay, teamwork.
.......it was written in 1954, though, so I can't imagine it will hold up particularly well now.
Other middle-grade historical fiction books I remember re-reading over and over as a kid are Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes (1943) and The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle (1990). Charlotte Doyle was especially formative to my love of the Age of Sail and cross-dressing female protagonists.
