In 1806, she was purchased by Henry Clay after marrying a man enslaved on his plantation. When Clay was elected to Congress, Dupuy and her family moved with him to Washington DC, residing at Decatur House on Lafayette Square. In 1829, Dupuy sued Clay, then Secretary of State, for her freedom and the freedom of her children. As Clay's tenure in Washington ended before the case was decided, Dupuy remained at Decatur House, employed by the new Secretary of State, Martin van Buren. In 1830, the US Circuit Court for the District of Columbia decided against Dupuy and she was forcibly removed to Clay's Kentucky estate.
