Portrayed by Cyndi Janzen

With her dark hair, sparkling dark eyes, artistic gifts and interest in politics, Cyndi Janzen is a natural to portray Annis Boudinot Stockton. ABS was the wife of Richard Stockton, signer of the Declaration and later president of Princeton College, and she was the sister of Elias Boudinot, active participant in the Revolutionary War, who served in the Continental Congress. Annis’ home in Princeton, New Jersey was a center for political discussion, as well as a gathering place for artists. Annis set an example of an educated woman of her time, distinguishing herself as one of the first published American women poets. Her poems about George Washington were very popular with the General and with the General’s adoring public.
