Author Description

Excerpt from Publications of the Pennsylvania Society of the Colonial Dames of America, 1906, Vol. 2 As it appears to me to be a duty which the living owe to each other as well as to the dead, to rescue merit from descending into oblivion, I have endeavored to trace the following notices of a Lady, who tho well known gen erally esteemed by the most eminent characters in this state whilst she lived, yet nothing I believe, respecting her has ever appeared in Print. What I now mean to offer is from recollection alone, but my opportunities for information were such as to enable me to give those recollections with certainty.
