She married Dr. Lyman Hall in May 1752. The following year, in July, she died.

How many people helped to build the future without being known? Not even by a name? I've worked on genealogy records, transcribing from handwritten documents to the computer. I lost count of the number of times I'd see "Wife" or "Child." No name. Nothing else. And yet, they left a mark on this world, however tiny.
Was Dr. Hall heartbroken by his young wife's death? He continued on, marrying Mary Osbourne, and making a significant difference in the future of America.
