!BIOGRAPHY: "She was a ... religious enthusiast. ... Having listened to the distinguished George Whitfield, when he preached in Attleboro, Mass., she was seriously impressed, and deeply convicted of sin; and while thus laboring under great concern of mind, she was seized with a malignant fever which was raging throughout Providence Co., and after a long confinement she arose from her bed, suddenly recovered, declaring she had a mission to perform. She immediately commenced preaching publicly, and from house to house, claiming as some say, supernatural power, being able to discern what was transpiring in distant places, &c., which would now be attributed to claravoyance [sic], and would in no wise subject a person to a charge of blasphemy. She continued her mission forty hears ..." --I. Wilkinson, p. 136.
