About Mehitable Pierpoint

"She was an innkeeper with her first and second husbands, and later alone, in Anne Arundel and Prince George's Counties MD. She was "a remarkable pioneering businesswoman in the Maryland colony". This was "in an era when women had duties instead of rights -- and their primary duties were to marry, bear and raise children, look after the home, and tend the hearth -- Mehitable was an exception."[2]
