Colonial Jeopardy
Clue #1
Our family was never very rich, we weren't part of the gentry.
So I don't have very fancy clothing like casual clothing more than fancy
clothing anyway. I wear what everybody wears: petticoats, skirts,
bodices, and mob caps. My favorite outfit is a powder blue skirt, a white
bodice, and a gray mob cap.

Clue #2
I'm not a loyalist, not many people are. I think taxation without representation
is unfair and cruel, for instance the stamp act; putting a tax
on all written documents. Personally, I think the Boston Tea Party wasn't
such a good idea. I bet the British are going to do something drastic.

Clue #3
I was given The great women of the revolution medal along
with Abigail Adams, Emily Geiger, and Nancy Hansen. There
were 36 medals, each incased in a 136 page book featuring full biographies
of our lives. On my medal it reads:
In a southern frontier region surrounded by
Tories, she acted as a spy for the patriots.
Her courage thwarted an attempt to raid a patriot settlement.

Clue #5
I accidentally
heard that Bloody Bill Cunningham and his loyalist scouts were going
to "visit" the Elder settlement. So at night I walked for 20 miles crossing
streams and rivers, one in particular called the Tyger. Finally I reached my
brother's house and warned him of the Bloody scout's
intentions. And the patriots were
saved!!
A typical Tory
