Clementina Rind (1740-1774) came to Williamsburg from Annapolis, Maryland, with her husband, William, and five children. The Rinds established a second newspaper in Williamsburg. When William died in August 1773, Clementina assumed the editorship without missing a single issue of the paper. Clementina was the editor of the Virginia Gazette from 1773 to 1774. She also ran a public printing business and acted as publisher for the House of Burgesses, which meant that she was the first woman to operate such an enterprise in the colony. Clementina died of tuberculosis on September 25, 1774.
