Mary+Jemison

 * Mary Jemison **



 Mary Jemison was born in 1743. She was born on the farm that they had lived on for a long time. Her father always sent her out to pick corn instead of her brothers. This was because her hair was the color of corn and it was easier for indians to capture her brothers instead. She got very fond of it after a while.

Mary Jemison is remembered for her bravery when she got captured by the Indians and separated from her family. She fell in love with one of the Indians. She soon got married. They had a baby but it died shortly after birth. Then they had another one and it survived. What I remember most was when she went to live with the Indians. They captured her for a while. She also got separated from her family. The thing I liked best was when she was with the Indians because she learned a lot of new things and they weren't mean to her at all. It was fun reading about Mary Jemison.
