          Lucy Flucker Knox

          American revolutionary

          Lucy Flucker Knox (August 2, 1756 – June 20, 1824) was an American revolutionary. She was the daughter of colonial official Thomas Flucker and Hannah Waldo, daughter of Samuel Waldo.

          She married Henry Knox, who became a leading officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. Lucy accompanied Henry and lived in the military camp during the war. She accompanied Henry Knox until he retired from the army in 1794.

          Early life and education

          She was born into a wealthy family of privilege. Lucy's father, Thomas Flucker, held office under the British colonial government and wanted Lucy to marry someone of a higher social status.

          However, in June 1774, Lucy married Henry Knox (1750–1806).

          A family torn apart by war, | The Revolutionary War divided families.

          Her parents disowned her because Henry was a merchant-class suitor at the time. Her family then fled for London once Boston had fallen to the revolutionaries. She would never see her family again.[1][2][3]
