Jane Thomas — born in Chester County, Pennsylvania (exact date lost to history); died April 16, 1811 in Greenville District, SC. 🇺🇸
Visiting her imprisoned husband and sons at Ninety Six, she overheard Tory women whisper: “To-morrow night the Loyalists intend to surprise the Rebels at Cedar Spring.” Jane rode straight to her son’s Patriot camp with the warning — and on July 12, 1780, the would-be attackers walked into an ambush instead. At home she loaded muskets beside her companions until raiders withdrew. She listened. She rode. She saved them.
