She lived in a log house built in 1754 just beyond the Cumberland, Maryland city limits. On October 1, 1755, while returning to her home from the Fort Cumberland Trading Post several miles away, Jane was captured by Indians and taken to the Miami River in Ohio. Ruby Frazier Frey, a descendant, wrote a book called Red Morning telling of Jane’s experiences.
The Frazier house was destroyed in the 1960s, but a marker designates its location.
The former Jane Frazier house was on Route 51, Cumberland, Maryland. Jane Frazier (formerly Jane Bell and Jane McClain) was born January 1, 1735 in Winchester, Virginia and died April 14, 1815 in Schellsburg, (Bedford Company) Pennsylvania.
In 1759, John and Jane Fraser moved near Fort Bedford. They had eight children: Benjamin, Margaret, William, James, Jane, Catherine, Mary, and Amelia.
After the death of John Fraser, Jane married Richard DeKapt1 (which became Dunlap) and had one daughter: Agnes.
