Wikipedia, 11-30-2018: (Grace Growden Galloway; (b. 1727; d. 1782, Pennsylvania) wife of loyalist and Pennsylvania politician, Joseph Galloway; she nearly lost everything in the aftermath of the American Revolution. Grace Galloway's property was confiscated because of the political position of her husband; this loss of property led to the loss of her social standing and pride; she notably left a detailed diary documenting her daily life and her fight to regain her property; this diary has been a strong source for historians to learn from and grasp what it was like to be a female loyalist; her diary provides a fresh perspective into a side of the Revolutionary War that was previously often omitted from history)
