Lydia Darragh
Lydia Darragh (1729 – December 28, 1789) was an American woman said to have crossed British lines during the British occupation of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during the American Revolutionary War, delivering information to George Washington and the Continental Army that warned them of a pending British attack.〔Darrah's exploits were first documented in the article ''Lydia Darragh: One of the Heroines of the Revolution'' by Henry Darrach, published in 1915 by the City History Society of Philadelphia. A copy of this article is online (here )〕 Contemporary sources claim Darragh's uncorroborated story is historically unsubstantiated.〔 "Family legend contributes the colorful but uncorroborated story of Lydia Darragh and her listening post for eavesdropping on the British."〕
==Early life==
Lydia Barrington Darragh was born in 1729 in Dublin, Ireland to John Barrington and his wife. On November 2, 1753, she married the family tutor, William Darragh, the son of a clergyman. A few years later, they immigrated to Philadelphia, where William worked as a tutor and Lydia as a midwife. She gave birth to five children: Charles (born 1755), Ann (born 1757), John (born 1763), William (born 1766), Susannah (born 1768), and four others who died in infancy.
