Most likely she didn't attend elementary school. In the 1700's the schools were not like today. Most children were taught to read and write plus basic math. Colonial schools began in 1635 and children were required to attend, but very few attended past 6th grade. With 90% of the colonies farming there was no real need for education beyond the basics. Girls were also not pushed to go to school and they were not allowed to attend colleges until the late 1800's.
