Sarah Boone
Sarah was born on June 7, 1700 in Delaware County. While Sarah was growing up, she went to Marple Newton High and got a degree of 1999. Then went to Harcom College and got a higher degree of 2002. She got married to Squire Boone on September 23 in the meeting house in Gwynedd, Montgomery. Then she gave birth to five children - Daniel, Israel, Samuel, Jonathan, and Elizabeth.
A couple of years later, she invented the ironing board in New Have, Connecticut. Then, she was one of the first African- American women to receive a patent. The ironing board helped me and my family because if you just use it on any house hold product, it would probably just burn up into a million pieces. Then, at her age of 77 in 1777 she died in Davie County.
