In 2017, as a guest on Finding Your Roots, Schumer learned that in 1704, three children from her ancestor Thomas Tarbell's family were captured at Groton, Massachusetts, in a French-Abenaki raid and taken to Montreal. The girl was ransomed by a French-Canadian family and ultimately joined a French Catholic convent; the two boys were each adopted by Mohawk families at Kahnawake and became thoroughly assimilated. They married Mohawk women and some of their descendants became chiefs. There are still Mohawk by the surname Tarbell in Kahnawake and Akwesasne, another village reserve on the St. Lawrence River founded by the brothers.
Through the success of her father's furniture company in Manhattan, Schumer's household was wealthy during her early years.{{cite web|url=https://www.buzzfeed.com/jordanzakarin/amy-schumer-comedy-central-10-true-facts|title=10 Incredibly True Facts About Comedy Central's Amy Schumer, According To Amy Schumer|last=Zakarin|first=Jordan|work=BuzzFeed|date=July 2, 2013|access-date=November 22, 2014|archive-date=July 5, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130705165149/https://www.buzzfeed.com/jordanzakarin/amy-schumer-comedy-central-10-true-facts|url-status=live}} When she was nine years old her father's business failed and he went bankrupt.{{cite web|url= http://www.eonline.com/news/816988/amy-schumer-buys-her-father-s-farm-back-shares-the-news-with-an-adorable-home-video|title= Amy Schumer Buys Her Father's Farm Back, Shares the News With an Adorable Home Video|first= Kendall|last= Fisher|date= December 19, 2016|access-date= December 20, 2016|publisher= E!
