Biography:
DUNLAP, Jane, (fl 1771)
According to the introduction in her one published collection of poems, she was a poor widow but "a Daughter of Liberty and lover of Truth" as well as a supporter of Methodist beliefs and values. From her "obscure station of life" she recalls Whitefield's preaching in Boston on his penultimate visit, 1763-5; she had not been able to hear the sermons of his final tour in 1770. Nothing more is known of her. (Blain) HJ
