Very little is known about Elizabeth Burgin, including her birth and death dates. We know she helped the Americans who had been taken prisoner aboard British ships, and risked her life bringing them food, news and cheer. Her role would have been completely forgotten had it not been for mentions of her in George Washington's letters. The British were very angry when they found out what she had done, and offered a hefty reward for her capture.
