Found On Tumblr

This is not the actual story, but I found it on Tumblr, and I felt like I needed to be shared.

Philip Schuyler was a general in the Continental Army as well as a businessman. He was actually pretty good at it, and the British wanted to take him out of commission. One night, a raiding party broke into the Schuyler house looking for him. The family (Philip included) hid in an upstairs bedroom - when they realized that the baby was still in her cradle downstairs.

So, who volunteered to sneak through a house of armed men to get her? Who got grabbed on the way back up and, still holding the baby, lied to their leader when he stuck a gun in her face and demanded to know where General Schuyler was? Peggy.

And it doesn't end there. When they asked her where he was, she responded something like "He has gone to get help." which scared them all so much that they left the home before the back-up could arrive.

Peggy had her baby sister in her arms, her pregnant sisters and mother upstairs hiding, and a gun in her face and she managed to stay calm enough to save her family.

God bless Peggy Schuyler.

And this is all true, as reported in the Hamilton biography by Chernow.

So, as this story tells. The "And Peggy" is a hero, and should have gotten much more credit for that.
