Born in 1743 to a Protestant Irish family that settled in western Pennsylvania, Mary Jemison was captured during the French and Indian War by a French and Shawnee raiding party and traded to two Seneca sisters, who had recently lost a close relative. She lived most of her life among the Senecas. In 1823, while living in Genessee Valley, she told the story of her life to James Seaver who published the narrative the following year.
