Grace Growden Galloway

Grace Growden Galloway (1727–1782) was the wife of British loyalist Joseph Galloway. In the wake of the American Revolution, she faced severe hardships, including the confiscation of her property due to her husband's anti-independence stance,[1][2] which led to the loss of her social standing and pride.[3] Grace Galloway left behind a detailed diary documenting her daily life and her struggle to reclaim her property.[4] This diary has become an important source for historians seeking to understand the experiences of female loyalists and provides a unique perspective on the Revolutionary War that had previously been underrepresented in historical accounts.
