User:Ayevans/Catharine Littlefield Greene

NEW INFO:

She was born into an upper class family and had a dad by the name of John Littlefield who was a part of the Rhode Island legislature. After Catherine's mom died when she was 10 years old, she was sent to live with her aunt and uncle who were a part of the local government and acquainted her with its inner workings. While living with her aunt and uncle she received a formal education and lessons of domesticity. Her husband being called into war was a great disturbance for Catherine and so she visited him often and formed a camaraderie with others he was stationed with. Her living conditions were relatively decent. She was often the one responsible for planning social events for the troops to have respite.
