Peggy Shippen, The Traitorous Belle of the American Revolution: Brief Historical Accounts of Mrs. Benedict Arnold

Peggy Shippen, or Margaret Shippen (also Peggy Shippen Arnold or just Peggy Arnold) (1760 â€“1804), was the second wife of General Benedict Arnold. Born into a prominent Philadelphia family with Loyalist tendencies, she met Arnold during his tenure as military commander of the city following the British withdrawal in 1778. They were married in the Shippen townhouse on Fourth Street on April 8, 1779. Not long after, Arnold began conspiring with the British to change sides. Peggy played a role in the conspiracy, which was exposed after British Major John AndrÃ© was arrested in September 1780 carrying documents concerning the planned surrender of the critical Continental Army base at West Point.
