Margaret "Peggy" Shippen (July 11, 1760 – August 24, 1804) was the highest-paid spy in the American Revolution, and was the second wife of General Benedict Arnold. Shippen was born into a prominent Philadelphia family with Loyalist tendencies. She met Arnold during his tenure as military commander of the city following the British withdrawal in 1778. They were married in the Shippen townhouse on Fourth Street on April 8, 1779, and Arnold began conspiring with the British to change sides soon after. Peggy played a role in the conspiracy which was exposed after British Major John André was arrested in September 1780 carrying documents concerning the planned surrender of the critical Continental Army base at West Point.

  • Margaret « Peggy » Shippen (11 juillet 1760 – 24 août 1804) était l’espionne la mieux payée durant la Révolution américaine ainsi que la seconde femme du général Benedict Arnold. Shippen est née dans une famille éminente de Philadelphie aux tendances loyalistes. Elle rencontra Arnold lors de son mandat de Commandant militaire de la ville après le retrait britannique de 1778. Ils se marièrent dans la maison de ville des Shippen sur Fourth Street le 8 avril 1779, et Arnold commença à conspirer avec les Britanniques pour changer de camp peu de temps après. Peggy joua un rôle dans le complot qui fut révélé après que le major britannique John André ait été arrêté en septembre 1780 en possession de documents concernant la reddition prévue de la base critique de l’Armée continentale à West Point.
