An Historical Sketch of the Town of Scituate, R.I. By C. C. Beaman July 4, 1876 - Phenix Capron & Campbell, Steam Book and Job Printers. 1877 - Page 42 

About this time, March 18,1777, Elizabeth Knight writes from Scituate to her husband, who was with his troops at Warwick: :These lines are to let you know that we are all well at present. I want you to come home soon as you can, to see about getting some flax, for it is very scarce to be had. There are some men who want to be boarded at your house, and I want you to send to me whether you are willing to board them or not. So I remain your loving wife, Elizabeth Knight."
There you see a woman of the old heroic time, -- quiet, diligent, deferring to her husband, subjecting herself to the circumstances of the time, and heartily embracing the good cause. In talking of the men of the Revolution we should never forget the women, whose sacrifices were great, and whose zeal and courage in the patriot cause was abounding.
