Abigail Minis (August 11, 1701 – October 11, 1794) was a businesswoman and landowner, prominent in Savannah, Province of Georgia, during the American Revolutionary War.

Despite their not knowing if they would be received, General James Oglethorpe, founder of the colony, allowed Minis and her family entry and granted them land.

[3][4] She married Abraham Minis, with whom she had two daughters, Leah (born 1726) and Esther (1731), prior to their emigration to colonial America aboard the William and Sarah.

[5] Oglethorpe granted the family land,[7] and Abraham's name appears in the general conveyance of town lots and farms that was implemented in December 1733, which makes it one of the earliest deeds in the colony.

[8] Minis ran multiple businesses after becoming widowed, and she supplied the rebel troops with provisions during the Revolutionary War's siege of Savannah.

[10] Despite this, British Royal Governor James Wright permitted her safe passage to Charleston, South Carolina, and allowed her to keep her property.

[8] Before leaving for South Carolina, she brought her friend and fellow patriot Mordecai Sheftall food in prison after he was captured by the British.

The tavern, which she ran along with her five spinster daughters, became a site of "elegant entertainments" and "hosted members of the Georgia assembly, judges, the governor's council, wealthy merchants, and other distinguished citizens."
