Abigail McKnitt Alexander embodied the spirit of a new nation. Born in Maryland in 1664 to Scotch-Irish immigrants who fled their homeland seeking freedom, she came of age amid the trials of an untamed land and the weight of British rule. Her fierce independence lived on through her descendants, who helped author the 1775 Mecklenburg Declaration—one of the first calls for American independence. Though centuries removed, Abigail’s story still resonates: a pursuit of freedom, a safe home, and a better life for her family. The Abigail Bucket Bag was designed in her honor: timeless, resilient, and ready to accompany you on your own journeys of ambition and discovery.
