About Sarah Bradlee Fulton

Lived 1740 – 1835 (aged 94). Sarah Bradlee Fulton was an American spy.

Sarah Bradlee Fulton (December 24, 1740, Dorchester - November 9, 1835, Medford) was an active participant of the Revolutionary War on the American side. A tablet stone was dedicated to her memory at the Salem Street Burying Ground in Medford, Massachusetts in 1900.

She was born in 1740 as Sarah Bradlee in Boston, Massachusetts, married John Fulton in 1762 and moved to Medford, Massachusetts. She was an active member of Daughters of Liberty and is sometimes referred to as the "Mother of the Boston Tea Party". Her brother, Nathaniel Bradlee, a carpenter, lived in Boston on the corner of Tremont and Hollis streets. Friends and neighbors, who were Boston's most devoted patriots, regularly gathered to enjoy his codfish suppers on Saturday nights.

She was involved with the Revolutionary War on several occasions. In June 1775, after the Battle of Bunker Hill, the wounded were brought into town, and the large open space by Wade's Tavern was turned into a field hospital. When her husband was unable to do the job, she accepted.
