AWARDS
Julia Stockton Rush (1759–1848) was the daughter of Richard Stockton and Annis Boudinot and married physician Benjamin Rush in 1776. Her letters describe caring for children, managing a crowded household, and sustaining family correspondence through the Revolution. During Philadelphia’s 1793 yellow-fever epidemic, she and the children stayed at Morven in Princeton while Benjamin treated patients. Their exchanged letters preserve both medical news and the strain of separation.
