On the morning of July 27, 1777 a group of Indian allies of the British advance raided the outskirts of the village, and Jane and Mrs McNeil were taken hostage. As the Indians withdrew, they were separated. Mrs McNeil was later united with her cousin, but discovered to her horror that another brave had Jane's scalp.
