Given name was Anna Mary Regina Schnierle.
BIO:
"In 1823 (my father) married the eldest daughter of Mr. John Schnierle, son of a Lutheran clergyman of Stuttgart (and a wealthy coutree too) and entered into the piano trade, in which he made and lost three fortunes. A man of great intelligence and prepossessing qualities, a fluent linguist, speaking English, French, German and Spanish. When in 1824 Lafayette visited Charleston, at the ball given in his honor, my mother danced with him. She was known as a very attractive young lady of sweet temper and pleasant manners. The lovely portrait of her painted when she was the mother of six children, in my possession, merits the truth of her well preserved beauty. Her father owned many slaves and he was a kind master, but being unwilling to educate his children in their midst, he sent his five children to the Moravian schools, the boys at Nazareth, the girls at Bethlehem, Pa., where a sister of Seward, who bought Alaska for seven millions from Russia for the U.S. was a school companion of the future Mrs. Siegling. She died in her 91st year having survived our dear father thirty years, in possession of all her faculties and was never ill in her long life."
Excerpt from the book by her daughter, "Memoirs of a Dowager",1908, by Marie Regina Siegling LeClercq.
