On a day in July 1755, in the settlement where Mary once lived, members were killed by American Native Indians. Mary and other family members were captured by the Shawnees and taken hundreds of miles into the frontier wilderness. However, this remarkable woman summoned tremendous physical and mental strength as she escaped from her captors and walked through Kentucky, West Virginia, navigating only through memory and by following significant waterways, back to her home valley. Later she and her husband moved to Radford (Ingles Farm) area where Mary lived until her death in 1815.
