Margaret Eaton, a musician and dancer, had been raised in a boarding house that was frequently visited by Washington politicians.

I chose Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton to be my confirmation saint. She became the first native born American saint in 1975. I believe that she influenced everyone around her, and that’s what I hope to do. Elizabeth Ann Bayley was born in New York in 1774 to a wealthy family.

Harriet Wilson most likely chose to open Our Nig with her mother’s history instead of Frado’s birth because the former’s past allows for a better understanding of why things ended up the way they did for Frado.
