Excerpt from Poems
Mary elizabeth wilson was born at Keene, New Hampshire. She was one of several chil dren and was the daughter of General James Wilson, a man of great distinction in his native State of New Hampshire and of the nation at the time of Daniel Webster and Henry Clay, both of Whom were his friends. He was of Irish descent and, allied to a good education, he possessed the Wit, the eloquence and the ele gance of manner which belong to that race. Mrs. Sherwood's mother was Mary Richardson, a great beauty, possessed of the sad Madonna like style of face, made more so by the death of several of her children. Her portrait is one of Mrs. Sherwood's most cherished possessions. These domestic afflictions overshadowed the young life of Mary Elizabeth, or Lizzie Wilson, as Mrs. Sherwood was known in her girlhood, and She found relief in the use of her pen. At this time She frequently met many of the great men of the day, who came to visit her father.
