As far as I know, historians have turned up no evidence that Mrs. Gage actually gave information to the patriots. Gage may have thought his plans were a deep dark secret, but there was ample evidence of what the British were up to.
If the story is true, then Gage was a fool who destroyed his marriage for nothing.

Indeed...in all my readings about the run-up to Lexington and Concord I have never encountered any murmurings related to Mrs. Gage and Revere. Something obviously inflamed the General's suspicions, and the underneath story here is likely better than any Hollywood script.

I'd like to know more about if she professed her innocence or not. If I was innocent, there's nothing that would stop me from trying to convince the love of my life of that.
