From Dr Henry Wythe Tabb diary about the relationship between his wife Ellen Foster and his daughters by Martha Tompkins,
"She commended to my daughter Sally (who had nursed and watched by her bedside day and night with unceasing and sleepless diligence) the general care of her children, but of Susan in particular, she requested her adoption, and most faithfully has she fulfilled the trust. Much has been said of mother-in-laws, but thank God the united voice of my three oldest daughters (the oldest Mary Eliza her schoolmate, now in heaven) bore testimony to the pure, unselfish, amiable character of their mother-in-law, the two eldest looking up to her more as elder sister than a mother, consulting her in everything relying implicitly upon her judgment, their social intercourse never interrupted by a cross word or look."
Susan was just 2 years old when her mother died and by the above was adapted by Sally, who at the time was 27 years old, 2nd daughter of Dr Tabb.
