Biography

Lucy was born in August 1749 in Medford, Massachusetts.[1]

Lucy married Samuel Blyth on 11 October 1767 in Salem, Essex, Massachusetts.[2]

Lucy died (age 37) on 20 August 1787.[3] Lucy died on 20 August 1787 and was buried in Saint Peters Church Cemetery, Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts, United States.[4]

Had 4 other sons, died as infants or in childhood. // Concerning Lucy, Mrs. D. C. Cleveland wrote : " Lucy was lively, sensible, enterprising, and resolute. Had she been a man she would have mounted all obstacles to eminence and wealth. Had she lived in age of refinement and intellectual cultivation she would certainly have attained celebrity. Her whole life was spent in supporting her own station in society, which, by her fine powers, she did do effectively ; but she died early, leaving only one child,-- a son, -- on whom she doated."
