Molly Pitcher, originally known as Mary Ludwig, was born in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1754 to German immigrant parents.
What she did lear, though, was the value of hard work. Her father was a butcher, and her parents consistently instilled in her the importance of working hard.
Mary took a job as a household servant to Dr. and Mrs. Irvine in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, when she was in her teens. While there, she met William (also known as John) Hays, a barber.
Shortly after, in 1773, her husband's name was recorded on a list of supporters for the boycott of British Tea.

Which two elements does this excerpt from a christmas carol by charles dickens contain? "a small matter," said the ghost, “to make these silly folks so full of gratitude." "small! " echoed scrooge. the spirit signed to him to listen to the two apprentices, who were pouring out their hearts in praise of fezziwig: and when he had done so, said, "why! is it not? he has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money: three or four perhaps. is that so much that he deserves this praise? " "it isn’t that," said scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter, self. "it isn't that, spirit. he has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ’em up: what then? the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." he felt the spirit's glance, and stopped. "what is the matter? " asked the ghost. "nothing particular," said scrooge. "something, i think? " the ghost insisted. "no," said scrooge, "no. i should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. that's all."
