Abigail Minis (original) (raw)
Abigail Minis (August 11, 1701 – October 11, 1794) was a businesswoman and landowner, prominent in Savannah, Province of Georgia, during the American Revolutionary War. She was a European immigrant, along with her husband, Abraham Minis, to the newly settled colony of Savannah, in 1733. Despite their not knowing if they would be received, General James Oglethorpe, founder of the colony, allowed her and her family entry and granted them land. Her financial support and hospitality to the rebel troops during the war meant she was considered a Revolutionary hero.

| dbo:abstract | Abigail Minis (August 11, 1701 – October 11, 1794) was a businesswoman and landowner, prominent in Savannah, Province of Georgia, during the American Revolutionary War. She was a European immigrant, along with her husband, Abraham Minis, to the newly settled colony of Savannah, in 1733. Despite their not knowing if they would be received, General James Oglethorpe, founder of the colony, allowed her and her family entry and granted them land. Her financial support and hospitality to the rebel troops during the war meant she was considered a Revolutionary hero. Descendants of the Minises have lived in Savannah ever since. (en) Abigail Minis, född 1701, död 1794, var en inflytelserik amerikansk plantageägare. Hon emigrerade tillsammans med sin make och sina döttrar till Savannah samma år kolonin grundades, år 1733, och tillhörde då de första judar bosatta i USA. Hennes make blev en förmögen plantageägare. Efter hans död 1757 tog hon med sina fem döttrar över plantagen, och ägnade sig också åt boskapsskötsel och grundade 1763 ett framgångsrikt värdshus i Savannah, som blev en mötesplats för stadens elit såsom guvernörsrådets medlemmar. Under amerikanska frihetskriget gjorde hon sig känd som finansiär av revolutionsmilisen och de franska hjälptrupperna. Därför ville lojalister konfiskera hennes egendom när Savannah föll 1778. Hon och hennes döttrar utverkade dock att deras egendom blev skyddad och att de själva fick fri lejd till Charleston. (sv) |
