Anna Green Winslow (1759-1780)

You move to Boston at age ten to live with your aunt. You learn sewing, handwriting, dancing, and proper manners and attend religious lectures. You and your aunt take part in Patriot boycotts of imported goods and make your own clothes. You like to watch the militias drilling on the Boston Common. Your father trades British tea and is forced to flee to England. You leave Boston during the Revolutionary War to escape the fighting, but you die of tuberculosis before the war is over.
