Did You Know That There Is A Woman Whose Name Is On The Declaration of Independence?

Mary fought hard to get her job back and was supported by 200 Baltimore residents who signed a position to reinstate her as Postmaster General. She even wrote to George Washington and the Senate but was ignored.

For the last two decades of her life, Mary ran a bookstore in Baltimore and sold dry goods. She passed away in 1816 at 78.
