Mary was the third of eleven children born to Jedediah and Margaret (Robinson) Jepson. Jedediah relocated his family from Berwick to China, Maine, in the early 1800s. A Quaker meeting house was erected on her father's land. The meeting house, still standing, is 30 x 40 feet, and called "The Pond Meeting House." Jedediah was "a well-approved minister and scholar for his time." He is buried in the small cemetery there. Mary was one of two children who moved away from China.

On September 27, 1815 she married John Caswell, a widower with a large family. According to the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, they were married in China. Together they had a large family.

Census records showed that John and Mary resided in Greene. Her online death record says she died in Leeds, though that is based on the location of the gravestone. It seems more likely she died in Greene.
