The Marietta Register, May 13, 1884
From the best information we have been able to glean, we learn that this aged maiden lady was born about the beginning of the present century, in Marietta, but although unable to rise from her bed, like many unmarried ladies of her sex she dislikes to acknowledge her true age and claims to be but 75 years old. She was for many years a domestic in the family of Governor Meigs and after his death recovered a considerable sum from the estate for unpaid services with which she purchased the property where she still resides near the Mound Cemetery.
