(1755-1815)
Anne Emlen Mifflin (1755-1815) was a writer and the spouse of Warner Mifflin. Warner Mifflin was a farmer and estate manager whose career or family position supplies an important part of this entry’s Revolutionary context. The marriage connected Anne Emlen Mifflin to the political, military, commercial, or social developments surrounding the Revolution. This life overlapped the Revolutionary era, when war, political upheaval, disrupted trade, military service, and changing governments placed unusual demands on households and extended families. Surviving documentation is strongest in genealogical, family, estate, and marriage records rather than in a separate public biography. Including Anne Emlen Mifflin in HistoryGPS recognizes that households, marriages, property, correspondence, hospitality, and kinship networks were essential parts of the world in which Revolutionary leaders acted.
Anne Emlen Mifflin was born on Apr 30, 1755 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The surviving biographical summary provides only limited evidence about childhood, schooling, and the daily circumstances of the household, so those details are not reconstructed here without documentation. What can be stated securely is that this person belonged to the interconnected family world from which HistoryGPS traces participants, relatives, and later descendants of the Revolutionary generation.
The available biographical record identifies Anne Emlen Mifflin with work or public activity as a writer. Those roles provide the clearest documented basis for including this person in the database and should be read in the political, military, professional, or household context of the period. Anne Emlen Mifflin died on Mar 22, 1815. Additional claims about employment, public service, or accomplishments have been omitted where the consulted source did not support them.
