"Near this spot once lived Mehitable Wing, and Heroine of Quaker Hill. She was the Daughter of Jedediah Wing and the wife of William Pendergast, leader of the Land Rebellion of 1767 in Dutchess County. Mehitable, through heroic efforts, obtained a pardon from King George for her husband, after he had been condemned to death for treason."
