• Notes

  From Margaret H. Harrison's "A Charleston Album": Margaretta and her brothers and her one sister were born at the country estate "Clermont" near Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Their city home "Green Hill" lay beyond the then limits of Philadelphia. Her father centered all his hopes on young Margaretta who was far more accomplished than most women of the time. Private tutors had given her a thorough grounding not only in English literature, but in European and American history as well as in French and in Latin. As her father had frequent visitors from Paris, Margaretta had been taught to speak excellent French, and she presided over her father's dinner parties with grace and wit. From Margaret H.
