Margaret Gammell (1755-?)

You are raised in the heart of Boston. Some of your earliest memories include the massive protests of the 1760s in which your own father actively participates. At age 18 you marry John Gammell, only a few months before he joins your father in the event known as the "Boston Tea Party". During the war you move with your husband and daughter to Lexington to escape the overwhelming number of British soldiers in Boston. But you return to the town after the war. You have 16 pregnancies by age 45.
