In the course of doing genealogical studies I came across some
information that may be of interest to Jamison researchers--particularly
if they are of Native-American ancestry.
tive-American ancestry.
My fifth great-grandfather, Thomas Jemison, was of Scots-Irish descent
and, like so many of his fellow countrymen, came to America about 1743.
Thomas, his wife Jane Erwin, several of their children, and some neighbors
were killed during the French and Indian War when their farm (near what
is now Gettysburg, PA) was raided. Fortunately for me, and the others
who descend from them, two sons survived the incident by hiding under
some hay in their barn. The only member of the captured group who was
spared was their sister Mary, who was then about 14 years old.
s their sister Mary, who was then about 14 years old.
Some members of the raiding party were members of the Seneca tribe.
It was there custom to take an occasional captive during warfare and
offer the individual to the family of a warrior who had been killed. The
family could have the captive killed or could elect to keep them in a
state of bondage. Mary was thus offered to two sisters of a slain warrior
who decided to spare her.

Mary led a remarkable life among the Senecas, the details of which have
been recorded in several biographies and magazine articles. As a result
of land grants given by the Federal government to Indians who supported
the American cause during the Revolutionary War, Mary (as a widow)
came to own about 25 square miles of property in New York. She had eight
children by two Seneca warriors and she gave all of them her surname.

Some of her descendants adopted white customs, others followed Indian
ways, and, there are today, many Native-Americans, particularly in
New York and Pennsylvania, who are named Jemison, Jemson, Jimmerson,
or some other corruption of Mary's name. Mary was about 90 when she died
in 1833. Her original land is now the setting of the very large and
beautiful Letchworth State Park in western New York. The park is also the
location of a life-size statue of Mary that depicts her as a young woman,
dressed in Indian garb and carrying a child in the traditional papoose
style. I have visited her nearby grave site.

The interesting story of Mary Jamison was first recorded by the
Rev. James Seaver in a book he published in 1824. "A Narrative of
the Life of Mrs. Mary Jemison," has been republished in over 20
editions since then. Rev. Seaver was a missionary among the
Indians and came to know Mary in her old age. Unfortunately, his
quotations from Mary were put into his own somewhat stilted
language--a manner of speaking that would have been unknown to
an uneducated girl living on the frontier. Still, we are indebted to
him for his interest in her story, without which we should probably
know nothing of her many trials and tribulations.

A rather prolific writer of stories about upstate NY, Arch Merrill,
published, "The White Woman and Her Valley", in 1955. It repeats
Mary's story as well as other tales about that region. He relies
heavily upon Seaver's original work in reporting that Mary was
born in 1743 (aboard the sailing ship "William and Mary" en
route from Londonderry to Philadelphia) and died in 1833 in
what is now Buffalo, NY.

According to Merrill, when Mary related her story in her great
old age, she was unsure if her parents were of Scottish or Irish
ancestry. It is likely her father, Thomas, was of Scottish descent and
her mother, Jane Erwin, was probably Irish. They were surely Protestants
as Mary was able to recall the prayers her mother had taught her.

pg 8. Another Erwin in Western New York was Mary Jemison, "the white
woman of the Genessee." Captured by the Indians when a girl of
thirteen she spent her life with them, marrying first a Delaware
brave, by whom she had two children, and later a cheif of the Senecas,
by whom she had six. She was an interesting figure in that part of
the state. A stautue of her has been erected in Letchworth Park,
owned by New York State, near Castile, N. Y., on the Genesee River,
where she is buried. The best account of her life is to be found in
the edition of 1932 of "A Narative of the life of Mary Jemison," by
Dr. James Everett Seaver, published by yhe American scenic and
Preservation Society, New York, NY.
Mary Jemison was the daughter of Thomas Jemison and Jane Erwin who
came over from Ulster, Ireland on the ship "Willaim and Mary"
bound for Philadelphia in 1743. The family settled in Marsh
Creek, Pa. Three children had been born prior to the migration.
Mary was born en route, on the Atlantic. Two more sons, Matthew
and Robert, were born in Pennsylvania. In 1758 their settlement
was attacked by Indians and the family carried off. The two elder
sons escaped and later joined their grandfather in Virginia. All
the rest of the family, except Mary, were killed and scalped on
the march. She was adopted by the tribe. During the French War
and the Revolution the six nations sided with the British. When
peace was finally made between the white man and the Indians in
New York, in 1783, Mary Jemison refused to accept freedom, but
continued to live with her Indian family. After 1797 she had
frequent meetings with the white settlers. She died in 1833 in
Buffalo, NY, her body being moved later to Letchworth Park.

I took a look at some of the sources on Mary Jemison. Her parents
lived on Marsh Creek, in Franklin Township, Adams county, Pa, about
10 miles north of Gettysburg. There is some dispute about when they
arrived on th "William and Mary." It arrived in Philadelphia from
Belfast
on Oct 6, 1743. But it also sailed from Londinderry on Oct 21, 1742,
bound for
Philadelphia. A source called "White Captives" by June Namias, say in
a note citing "Notable American Women," that the two brothers who
escaped ended up with their grandparents, the Erwins, in Virginia.
Well, the article in "Notable American Women" says no such thing, but
she must have gotten the idea from somewhere. In Chalkley, Matthew
Erwin's will was written in 1755 in Augusta County, Va, when Jane Erwin
Jemison was still alive and thus mentions her, and was probated in 1762,

Mary Jemison (Deh-he-wä-mis) (1743 – September 19, 1833) was an American frontierswoman who was adopted in her teens by the Seneca. When she was in her teens, she was captured in what is now Adams County, Pennsylvania, from her home along Marsh Creek. She became fully assimilated into her captors' culture and later chose to remain a Seneca rather than return to British colonial culture. Her statue stands today in Letchworth State Park.

Mary Jemison was born to Thomas and Jane Jemison aboard the ship William and Mary in the fall of 1743, while en route from what is now Northern Ireland to America. They landed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and joined other Protestant Scots-Irish immigrants in heading west to settle on cheaper available lands in what was then the western frontier (now central Pennsylvania). They "squatted" on territory that was under the authority of the Iroquois Confederacy, which was based in central and western New York.

The Jemisons had cleared land to make their farm, and the couple had several children. By 1755, conflicts had started in the French and Indian War, the North American front of the Seven Years' War between France and Britain. Both sides made use of Native American allies. They were especially used in the many frontier areas. One morning in 1755, a raiding party consisting of six Shawnee Indians and four Frenchmen captured Mary, her family (except two older brothers) and a young boy from another family. En route to Fort Duquesne (present-day Pittsburgh), then controlled by the French, the Shawnee killed Mary’s mother, father, and siblings and ritually scalped them. The 12-year-old Mary and the young boy were spared, likely because they were considered of suitable age for adoption. Once the party reached the fort, Mary was given to two Seneca, who took Mary downriver to their settlement. A Seneca family adopted Mary, renaming her as Deh-he-wä-mis (other romanization variants include: Dehgewanus, Dehgewanus and Degiwanus, Dickewamis), which she learned meant "a pretty girl, a handsome girl, or a pleasant, good thing."

When she came of age, she married a Delaware man named Sheninjee, who was living with the band. They had a son whom she named Thomas after her father. Sheninjee took her on a 700-mile (1,100 km) journey to the Sehgahunda Valley along the Genesee River in present-day western New York state. Although Jemison and their son reached this destination, her husband did not. Leaving his wife one day to hunt, he had taken ill and died.

As a widow, Mary and her child were taken in by Sheninjee's clan relatives; she made her home at Little Beard's Town (present-day Cuylerville, New York). She later married a Seneca named Hiakatoo; they had six children together: Nancy, Polly, Betsey, Jane, John, and Jesse. In 1811 John murdered his half-brother Thomas. Some time later John murdered his brother Jesse, and in 1817 John was himself murdered by two men from the Squawky Hill Reservation.

During the American Revolutionary War, the Seneca were allies of the British, hoping that victory would enable them to expel the encroaching colonists. Jemison's account of her life includes some observations during this time. She and others in the Seneca town helped supply Joseph Brant (Mohawk) and his force of Iroquois warriors from various nations, who fought against the rebel colonists.

After the war, the Seneca were forced to give up their lands to the United States as allies of the defeated British. In 1797 the Seneca sold much of their land at Little Beard's Town to European-American settlers. At that time, during negotiations with the Holland Land Company held at Geneseo, New York, Mary Jemison proved to be an able negotiator for the Seneca tribe. She helped win more favorable terms for giving up their rights to the land at the Treaty of Big Tree (1797).
At that time, during negotiations with the Holland Land Company held at
Late in life, she told her story to the minister James E. Seaver, who published it as a classic "captivity narrative", Narrative of the Life of Mrs. Mary Jemison (1824; latest ed. 1967). Although some early readers thought that Seaver must have imposed his own beliefs, today many history scholars think the memoir is a reasonably accurate account of Jemison's life story and attitude.

In 1823, the Seneca sold most of the remainder of the land in that area, except for a 2-acre (8,100 m2) tract of land reserved for Jemison's use. Known by local residents as the "White Woman of the Genesee", Jemison lived on the tract until she sold it in 1831 and moved to the Buffalo Creek Reservation. Jemison lived the rest of her life with the Seneca Nation. She died on September 19, 1833, aged 90. She was initially buried on the Buffalo Creek Reservation.
