When Sally's husband was named minister to Spain, "twenty-three year old Sally, alone among the American wives during the war, decided to make the treacherous trip with her husband." In Octover 1779, they set sail but two months in, misfortune came upon the ship and they had to set course for Martinique via trade winds. A few days after landing, they left for Cadiz and landed in early 1780 after being chased by a English frigate; then continued across land in one horrendous excursion after another. Sally, traveling pregnant, and her husband finally arrived in Madrid six months after their departure from America. <ref> Roberts, Cokie,Founding Mothers: The Women Who Raised Our Nation, First Perennial, 2005.</ref>
