Source:Fay, Orlin Prentice. Fay Genealogy : John Fay of Marlborough and His Descendants, p. 269: "Of her not too much can be said in praise [note: awkward and easy to misinterpret, context makes clear this intends: too much cannot be said in praise]. In early life an ever active woman in every good cause within her power and the last 16 yrs. of her life an invalid, patient beyond expression, confined to her bed mostly for two years, yet living to be ready. 84 yrs. a comfort & blessing to her family."
