Collection: Sarah Bradlee Fulton

Who was Sarah Bradlee Fulton?

Sarah Bradlee Fulton was an active participant of the Revolutionary War. A tablet stone was dedicated to her memory at the Salem Street Burying Ground in Medford, Massachusetts in 1900. She was born in 1740 as Sarah Bradlee in Boston, Massachusetts, married John Fulton in 1762 and moved to Medford, Massachusetts. She was an active member of Daughters of Liberty and is sometimes referred to as the "Mother of the Boston Tea Party". Sarah Fulton and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Bradlee, are credited with disguising Nathanial Bradlee and his compatriots as Mohawks and, later, as transforming them back into "respectable Bostonians." She carried an important message from John Brooks, the mayor of Medford, to George Washington to the Charlestown war front, managing to cross enemy lines and return home safe.
