Hold on, are you just about to gloss over the part where a 14-year-old Jemima Boone was married to a 24-year-old? EXCUSE ME? That deserves at least half a chapter of research about standard marriage ages at the time and WHY this happened, because even on the frontier in 1776 that is a marital age that would draw some side-eye.
