Lucy Knox (1756-1824)

You are the daughter of a wealthy Royal official but you marry a young bookseller. Your husband becomes a general in the Continental Army. You warn him to expect "equal command" in the home. A maneuver by your husband allows the Patriots to capture Boston, forcing your Loyalist family to flee the country. You never see your family again, but you tell your husband that he is far dearer to you than all of them. You and your husband retire to an estate in Maine that you inherit from your father.
