∙ 15y agoBritish troops were having a meeting in my home when I overheard their plans of attack for the next day at Whitemarsh, Pennsylvania. The next morning I will pretend to get flour, cross the British lines, and warn the American troops about the surprise attack. When the British arrive, the Colonial army will be ready for battle and defeat the redcoats.

Although disowned by the Society of Friends (Quaker) for neglecting to attend religious meetings, she was buried in their burial ground at Fourth and Arch Streets.

This is interesting. Here's something published by the CIA stating the story of Lydia Darragh maybe nothing more than a legend.
"Family legend contributes the colorful but uncorroborated story of Lydia
Darragh and her listening post for eavesdropping on the British."
"The cover story she purportedly used to leave
Philadelphia-she was filling a flour sack at a nearby mill outside the
British lines because there was a flour shortage in the city-is
implausible because there was no shortage, and a lone woman would not have
been allowed to roam around at night, least of all in the area between the
armies."
