Mary Dagworthy
Merchant Abraham Hunt’s second wife was evidently an organizer. George Washington’s collected papers include wartime letters from Mary Dagworthy and his responses. He thanked her on one occasion for sending him 380 pairs of stockings for the use of New Jersey troops in the army in the winter of 1781. The General wrote her on January 9, 1781. Mary Dagworthy Hunt is buried in the East State Street churchyard of the First Presbyterian Church.
