Can you find any sign that she wrote anything saying anything about anything? I can't. I did find: In 1776, at the start of the American Revolution, John (her husband) was killed by a gunpowder explosion while on militia duty at the Philadelphia waterfront. link So her husband wasn't against fighting. Granted doesn't prove her thoughts on anything any more than the fact that you don't know of any writings that say what she believed. Read the article. ... Glad you got some information concerning what you talked about earlier.

I always thought widows stayed widows back then. Not her! She buried three of em. Looks like she did own a fabric and flag making shop. Not out of the ordinary that politicians talked to her about a flag back then. The colonies were a small clanish group back then, and unlike corporations today, they did not outsource the flag making industry. Widows didn't stay widows. The rate of remarriage, step-relationships and half-siblings was higher in that time period than it is today. There just wasn't divorce. People died from just about everything back then, so there were always a bunch of widows and widowers running around. Women kinda needed to find another man to stay 'normal' in the eyes of society, as did men. Being unmarried wasn't smiled upon.
