Birth: in Scott county, Kentucky.

Year following her marriage, hubby (7th born of twelve), along with five of eight brothers went off to the War of 1812, returning home afterwards, brother Richard Mentor was a one term vice=president under first American born president, Martin Van Buren and Benjamin to Arkansas when appointed one of three Superior Court Judges for Arkansas Territory in 1821 by our fifth president James Monroe, then again under John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson, later serving as United States District Judge for Arkansas from statehood in 1836 until his death in 1849. He was namesake of Johnson County, Arkansas. History has him a part of "The Family"who pretty much controlled Arkansas up to the Civil War, thus reaping many of the financial benefits.

Census: 1850, 57 age Little Rock, Pulaski county, Arkansas widowed, worth, $75,000, with six of her eight known children.

Death: in Pulaski county, Arkansas. Note: two seemingly reliable items claim she is buried next to her hubby, however the cemetery has no such record! Same thing occurred in Evergreen cemetery, Fayetteville, Arkansas, where we have obituary as proof of interment of buried ashes.
