Firstly, this is still clearly a work in progress and will be further researched once I get the time. Being a senior college student, I have plenty of research and work to do already.
I have her fiancee with the Congress that at that time fled to York, so the fiancee is really just there in name a lot of the time, but that also requires a bit more info, as I need to see if the members of congress had secretaries.
She would not be totally alone, as there would be servants there, but I'm now wondering if it would be better for me to leave one of the brothers with her, (There's one that's seventeen.) If you actually look back at the American Revolution, women had to be left alone a lot due to their husbands and sons, even fathers going to join the war as a member of the Continental Army or their local militia. (Even Loyalists joined their own militias.)

I'm open for any ideas that would help!
