Lonny,

The William & Mary Quarterly is available online through JSTOR. I don't know where you live, but many libraries and certainly colleges and universities have subscriptions.

Good luck,
John

Subject: [VA-HIST] Anne Cary w/o Robert Carter Nicholas (1728-1780)

About 20 years ago, I vaugly remember reading an old William and Mary Quarterly article about Anne Cary, wife of Robert Carter Nicholas (1728-1780). The article claimed that during the Revolutionary War she carried papers for her husband, Robert Carter Nicholas, because he was too ill to travel. I believe she may have successfully crossed enemy lines to get the papers to their destination.

Anne's aunt, I think, was Sally Cary wife of George William Fairfax (1724-1787).

I've searched my file cabinet looking for a paper copy that I may have squirreled away, but no luck.

Any advice on where to start researching this will be very much appreciated! Are old Wm & Mary Quarterly's online & searchable now. Fingers & toes crossed. Or I'd just settle for the images being online.
