Hannah Heaton is a New England woman known for chronicling in a diary[2] her experiences during the Great Awakening in the northern American royal colonies.[3][4]
Autobiography
It is unclear when Heaton began her diary/autobiography, as the first few dozen pages are undated. These undated pages include a visit to Connecticut where she experienced religious conversion.[5] The diary has entries over a period of 40 years, from the Great Awakening through to the American Revolution.[2][6] Her autobiography has been of interest to historians as it chronicles the life of a mother and farmer during the Great Awakening.[7][8]
