Sarah Prince Gill

Sarah Prince Gill (July 16, 1728 – August 5, 1771) was an American Christian prayer group leader and writer.

[5] Perhaps inspired by Samuel Richardson's Clarissa, the two young women exchanged journals with the goal of helping their self-improvement.

Esther “was dear to me as the Apple of my Eye- she knew and felt all my griefs..."[7] Sarah Prince also corresponded with Catharine Macaulay.

[5] After the death of her father, 31 year old Sarah Prince married Moses Gill, a wealthy Boston merchant.

[1] Esther Edwards Burr's letters to Sarah Prince are the most extensive surviving literary criticism written by a colonial American woman.
