Anna Smith Strong of Setauket, New York was an American Patriot, and she may have been one of the only female members of the Culper Spy Ring during the American Revolution. Her perceived main contribution in the ring was to relay signals to a courier who ran smuggling and military missions for General George Washington. No information has been found concerning Anna's activities after the war other than that she and her husband, Selah Strong, lived quietly in Setauket for the rest of their lives.
Selah was married to Anna (Smith) Strong, the member of the Culper Spy Ring of Setauket, Long Island. He was imprisoned on a prison ship during the Revolution and was one of the lucky survivors. He was released before the end of the war and spent the remainder of the war in Connecticut, while Anna remained in Setauket to take care of their property and continue her spying activities.
