Hannah Heaton was 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]
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]
