Notes
In Hawes, A.H. Grafted bud (New York, 1853). This copy stamped: Mercantile Library, New-York.
Following the dissolution of her parents' marriage, the young child "Susan B." was moved frequently, living at various times with her father ("Mr. B."), her mother ("Mary M."), and others in her native Michigan. The Hawes family, believing her to be an orphan, adopted her and had her baptized Angelica Irene Hawes. Under their care in New York, she received instruction in religion and school subjects, as well as other cultural opportunities. Before her death in 1851 from scarlet fever, she told Mrs. Hawes that she considered her to be her real mother.
