Mary Murray, American Patriot

Entitled: "Mrs. Murray's strategy" showing Mrs. Murray entertaining British soldiers, on porch, during the American Revolution. Mary Lindley Murray is known in American Revolutionary folklore as the Quaker woman who held up British General William Howe after the British victory against American forces at Kips Bay. According to legend, Murray treated Howe and his generals to cake and wine and delayed them several hours as the American rebels got away safely and undetected. She was born in Pennsylvania, and resided in that colony for some years after her marriage to Robert Murray. In 1753 she removed with her family to New York City, where Murray became one of the wealthiest and most respected merchants. Reproduction of painting by E. Percy Moran.
