	Peggy Shippen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1779, the 18-year-old Shippen married the 37-year-old Arnold.
		It is now believed that Peggy Shippen may have instigated the correspondence between Arnold and Major John André, her friend and previous suitor, who served as aide-de-camp to General Henry Clinton.
		Shippen remained loyally at her husband's side in spite of financial disasters and the cool reception he received in Britain and New Brunswick.

	Shippen House
		Judge Shippen had never expressed support for the Revolution, and was actually prohibited from traveling extensively due to suspicion that he sympathized with the British.
		And Shippen certainly didn't approve of his daughter marrying anyone on the shaky financial footing of a soldier, when many wealthier suitors could likely be found.
		Peggy arranged for their four younger children to be educated, including military school for the three remaining boys, but died three years later.

		According to Becca, who narrates the story, it was Peggy Shippen Arnoldÿ20who was responsible for her husband's betrayal of the Americanÿ20Revolutionary cause.
		Peggy Shippen is a beautiful teenage girl who captures the essence of the "decadence" of the British (book jacket) because while the "Rebels" (the fighting colonists) are starving and clothesless in the winter of 1778, the British in Philadelphia (along with Peggy) throw extravagant, wasteful parties and go to the theater.
		Peggy is quite a lady, and at first, she loves a British officer, but later, as the story progresses, she meets the American General Benedict Arnold, and despite the age differences, they fall in love.
