I have been doing a bit of research on this, and I've found a few facts. Young girls in the Revolution often stayed home, since their brothers (boys could join the army at age 16, and boys as young as 7 could be messengers) and fathers were away from home. Daughters and their mothers worked in fields or in their houses, doing things such as washing dishes and clothes, and cooking meals. Some girls, such as Sybil Ludington, went on a ride at age 16 similar to Paul Revere warning surrounding minutemen about British soldiers that would attack Danbury. That's all I could find, really.
