Biographical History
Mary Jemison was taken captive by a raiding party of Shawnee Indians during the French and Indian War when she was a teenager. She was sold by the raiding party to a group of Seneca Indians who adopted her. She was given a new name, Dehgewanus or Two Falling Voices. She married a Delaware, Sheninjee, and had two sons, one who died at a young age, and one who was named Thomas after her father. They traveled from Ohio to the Genesee Valley of New York. After her husband died she remarried and had six more children, three of whom were murdered.
