Temperance Wick
Temperance Wick, known as "Tempe", (October 30, 1758 - April 26, 1822) was an American Revolutionary War heroine of Morristown, Morris County, New Jersey, United States.
==Background==
Born on her father's farm in Morris County, New Jersey, the youngest of Mary Cooper and Henry Wick's five children, she was likely named for her fraternal grandmother. Very little is known of her youth, but at the age of 21, she was the last of the Wick children living at home with her elderly parents. That winter, known as The Hard Winter, due to its unprecedented severity, over ten thousand soldiers of the Continental Army encamped upon her father's 1400 acre property in Jockey Hollow. Major General Arthur St. Clair and his staff rented quarters in the Wick house. Tempe and her parents apparently occupied two rooms on one side while two rooms opposite were let to the General, while the kitchen was likely shared. Her father Henry was a patriot who served in the Morris County cavalry as a captain. He also allowed Washington's army to winter on his land the next year, during that winter of 1780-81 the First Pennsyslvania Brigade under General "Mad" Anthony Wayne was encamped.〔(''Past and Promise: Lives of New Jersey Women'' edited by Joan N. Burstyn, p41 )〕
During the army's winter in Morristown, supplies for the large force put great burdens on the community. The troops were poorly clothed and fed, many had to go barefoot in the snow. In the field north of the Wick House is the burial site of 100 soldiers who died that winter in the brigade hospital, a dirt floored hut.
Her name and her parents are mentioned in several extant historic documents including letters, journals, and receipts of the period. Her father died the following winter, her mother five years later, and it was not until then, when she inherited the Jockey Hollow property, that Tempe married at the relatively late age of 30. She married William Tuttle of Morristown, and with him had five children.
