Mary Jemison was one of the most famous white captives who,
after being captured by Indians, chose to stay and live among her
captors. In the midst of the Seven Years War(1758), at about age
fifteen, Jemison was taken from her western Pennsylvania home by a
Shawnee and French raiding party. Her family was killed, but Mary
was traded to two Seneca sisters who adopted her to replace a slain
brother. She lived to survive two Indian husbands, the births of
eight children, the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the
canal era in upstate New York. In 1833 she died at about age
ninety.
