"About a month ago, we spent a week in Glynn County with my daughter DeLaroche, whether we carried and left, our Dear little Catherine to stay with and be instructed by her Aunt, who is quite an accomplished Lady--having always lived with us, and under the soothing care of her Grandmother, she was unwilling to part with us for a day... Kate is a nice Child, tall, slim and meager... well marked features - an affectionate heart, full of the electric fluid--Generous in the extreme, of great vivacity, quick to comprehend anything... and a fine ear for music" (Excerpt of a letter dated March, 7, 1834, from Gen John Floyd at Bellevue Place near Jeffersonton to Miss E J Caldwell at Readfield Corner in Maine, The Floyd Letters 1823-1841, compiled by John Hughes Corson).
