Footnote 81:

When the brother, Col. Pierce, was in Philadelphia in early
Congressional days, he sent for Ann to come to him. She could not have
a _silk_ dress, the substitute was stamped linen. A tiny sleeve was
given to Mrs. Jane L. Gray by Miss Sarah Pierce.

Footnote 82:

A “ball” meant in those days, what would be called now a small dancing
party, where “Society” meant all one’s acquaintances, or rather
friends.

Footnote 83:

Great niece of Miss Pierce.

Footnote 84:

Col. Pierce sent _Nancy_ to New York. Lynde Catlin sent _Sarah_.

Footnote 85:

I think this a mistake. Nancy taught also.

Footnote 86:

They had young ladies—scholars—in the family.

Footnote 87:

Sister of Miss Pierce.

Footnote 88:

Dr. Croswell was to Catskill in the medical profession what the Rev.
Dr. Porter was in the clerical. Growing up with the town he became its
leading physician; and by virtue of his ability, courtesy, and true
kindness of heart, he acquired such popularity that he easily retained
the position till his death, which occurred in 1844. We have an
evidence of Dr. Croswell’s popularity, and of his integrity as well,
in the fact that for more than fifty years he was Post-Master of
Catskill. He received the appointment during the first term of the
Presidency of Washington; acting first under a letter of instructions
until the full organization of the P. O. department, when he received
a commission in form, which he held until his death.

About the time of the marriage her sister, Miss Sally Pierce,[89]
afterward assisted in some branches by her sister Miss Mary Pierce,
opened a school which subsequently became the celebrated Litchfield
Seminary. If I am correctly informed this was the first seminary for
the education of young ladies from distant places, ever established in
our country. Daughters of prominent families were sent to remain under
its decisive Christian influences, and to secure its then unusual
educational advantages, from all parts of New England and of this
State. They came from Boston, New Haven, and Hartford, from the city
of New York, many from Albany, and a number from Whitestown and
Westmoreland—then the far west both of our own State and our
country.[90] Several went from Catskill, and some, who received more
than intellectual training at this excellent school, were present at
the funeral of Mrs. Croswell. “Miss Sally Pierce,” is a musical name
to the ears of many, and they never heard it pronounced without a glow
in their hearts of revering and grateful love.

Footnote 89:

Also Miss Nancy Pierce.

Footnote 90:

Also from South Carolina and Georgia.

“A woman of more than ordinary ability and acquirements.” Phebe
Augustus Ely Avery writes of her:—

“I can tell you little that can be of use to you of my aunt
Caroline. I know that she had a school for young ladies and taught
painting, embroidery, working lace, etc., but she married before my
remembrance Mr. Joel Steele and went to Bloomfield, N. J., to
reside, and I saw her but seldom until the latter part of her life.

“She lived to be ninety years of age and retained her love for
embroidery and various kinds of fancy work, almost to the last;
doing beautiful work, when nearly or quite eighty.

“She was a great reader and well posted always on past and current
events.”
