Detailed explanation-1: -The shape of the handle is known as a “fish tail.” Paul Revere was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1735. He married twice, first to Sarah Orne in 1757, and, after her death, to Rachel Walker in 1773.
Detailed explanation-2: -Paul Revere’s family was large, even for the time. In part this is because he had two wives and Rachel was many years younger, allowing him to father children over a nearly 30 year stretch. He had 16 children, 11 of whom survived to adulthood.
Detailed explanation-3: -In August, 1757, Revere married Sarah Orne. Together, they had eight children. Soon after Sarah’s death in 1773, Revere married Rachel Walker with whom he also had eight children.
Detailed explanation-4: -Her husband’s work as courier and spy over the next sixteen months left Rachel Revere in charge at home. The task was especially burdensome due to Paul’s declining income as political activities took precedence over business. She gave birth to the first of her eight children, Joshua, on December 7, 1774.
