Lunch and Learn: Faith Trumbull Huntington: An Eighteenth-Century Woman Encounters War

Virtual Presentation

Faith Trumbull Huntington (1742/43-1775) was an extremely well-educated young colonial woman from Lebanon, CT. Obsessively pious as well as artistically gifted, she was the eldest daughter of merchant, and future wartime governor, Jonathan Trumbull. Trumbull’s investment in her education paid off as she married wealthy merchant Jedediah Huntington (1743-1818) from Norwich, CT.

In this virtual talk, Marggie Meahl will explore Faith’s education (exceptional needlework), marriage, and early death and analyze it in the context of the Revolutionary War era merchant class.
