.<\/p>\n
A tintype was donated to Fort Hill in 1938, along with a typewritten letter by Margaret Calhoun, the great-granddaughter of Thomas and Anna Clemson.\u00a0 The tintype was of Marie, a formerly enslaved woman, who was holding baby Floride Isabela Lee, the Clemsons\u2019 granddaughter.<\/p>\n
The letter provides few facts, while hinting at others; however, the letter contains most of what we know about Marie.\u00a0 Marie was called \u201cDada\u201d by Isabella; Marie wrote monthly letters to Isabella until her death.<\/p>\n
Turning to these monthly letters, written by Marie herself, to learn valuable information is not an option since none were donated.\u00a0 The 1938 letter provided clues that created hope that, with research and determination, Historic Properties would learn more about Marie and Her Story.<\/p>\n
This letter made clear the uncomfortable reality of the marginalization of Marie and other African Americans. As shown in the letter, Marie was not first mentioned by name.\u00a0 The letter, dated May 3, 1938, identified the African American woman in the tintype as Isabella Lee\u2019s \u201cMammy, (Marie) \u2018Dada\u2019 as my mother called her.\u201d<\/p>\n
The letter shared that Marie was born at Fort Hill, \u201cjust a few hours before\u201d Floride Clemson Lee, before adding that Marie \u201cwas given to [Floride Clemson]\u201d by her maternal grandmother, Floride Calhoun.\u00a0 The following paragraph claimed that, \u201cShe (Marie) was sent to school in Mobile or New Orleans, taught to speak French and German; also to be a lady\u2019s maid and she sewed beautifully.\u201d<\/p>\n
Next, the letter revealed that the tintype was found in Floride Clemson Lee\u2019s \u201cAlbum of Photos\u201d with Gideon Lee\u2019s handwritten transcription, \u201cTaken When Mama was Sick for Her.\u201d\u00a0 This inscription matched the fact that Floride Clemson Lee was ill after her daughter Isabella\u2019s birth in May 1870; Floride Clemson Lee never recovered, dying in late July 1871.<\/p>\n
In the Postscript, the letter added that \u201c\u2018Dada\u2019 stayed with my mother until [Isabella] was about nine. [Marie] adored [Floride Clemson Lee] and went to New York with her.\u00a0 But [Marie] was jealous of [Ella Lorton Lee, Isabella\u2019s step-mother] and so they had to let her go, but [Gideon Lee] paid [Marie] $25 as long as she lived.\u201d<\/p>\n
The following paragraph revealed that Marie \u201cwent to Mobile to the Rhetts and stayed until she died in 1916.\u201d Marie was with Isabella before the birth of Margaret, the author of the letter, remaining until Margaret was eight weeks old before returning \u201cto Mrs. Rhett who expected a baby also.\u201d\u00a0 Marie wrote monthly letters to Isabella \u201cas long as she lived,\u201d and Isabella \u201cwrote her also.\u201d\u00a0 Margaret\u2019s uncle is credited with finding the tintype in Gideon Lee\u2019s diary, and it was believed it was taken on August 4, 1871, though likely taken a year earlier because of Isabella\u2019s age.<\/p>\n
Dissecting the letter left a lot of questions.\u00a0\u00a0 Based on the letter, Marie was born on December 29, 1842 at Fort Hill, and she died in 1916 in Mobile, AL.\u00a0 Marie moved to Carmel, NY in 1869, along with Floride Clemson Lee and her husband Gideon Lee.\u00a0 Although Marie left Carmel for Mobile around 1879, likely before the 1880 US Census, she should have been recorded in the 1870 US Census in Putnam County, NY, along with Floride Clemson Lee.<\/p>\n
The search to find the 1870 US Census in Carmel, Putnam County, NY began; however, the household of Gideon Lee was not found.\u00a0 This was an important record to find because Marie would have been listed with her full name, how she identified herself.\u00a0 Calling her only Marie, or Marie Calhoun, was unsatisfactory, linking her permanently with the surname that would have been forced upon her, as a lasting vestige of enslavement.\u00a0 Not using her full name seemed a disservice to Marie and Her Story.\u00a0 Although Historic Properties was motivated, an 1870 Census Record was not located when searching on either Ancestry or Family Search.<\/p>\n
But this was not the end of the road. Knowing that Marie should have been in Carmel at the time of the 1870 Census, only strengthened our resolve.\u00a0 Without knowing Marie\u2019s full name, it grew unlikely that we could locate Marie in the 1900 and 1910 US Censuses and learn more of Her Story in Mobile, AL.\u00a0 After an internet search, the Putnam County\u2019s Historian\u2019s Office was found and contacted.\u00a0 An email was sent, with the high hope that information on Marie would be found.<\/p>\n
In less than 24 hours, Jennifer Cassidy confirmed Putnam County Historian\u2019s Office had received Historic Properties\u2019 inquiry request. In less than a week, the dedicated researchers from Putnam County Historian\u2019s Office uncovered valuable information, revealing Marie and Her Story.<\/p>\n
Marie Venning was one of the legatees in Gideon Lee\u2019s will; Marie Venning worked for Benjamin Rhett in Mobile, AL.\u00a0 Learning Marie\u2019s surname was amazing, and it was all thanks to Putnam County Historian\u2019s Office.\u00a0 Learning the identity of the Rhett family in Mobile allowed Historic Properties to uncover important information. This included finding Marie Venning in the 1900 & 1910 US Censuses, Mobile city directories, her final resting place in Magnolia Cemetery in Mobile, and her date of death.<\/p>\n
The name Marie Venning sounded familiar to Historic Properties Curator of Education & Interpretation Mari Noorai; she remembered an unknown woman who was listed at the end of Anna Maria Calhoun Clemson\u2019s will.\u00a0 Could the full name of Marie have been there all along in Anna Clemson\u2019s probate record?\u00a0 The answer was yes.\u00a0 Marie Elizabeth Venning was also a legatee in Anna Clemson\u2019s will; however, unlike Gideon Lee\u2019s will which identified Marie Venning, Anna Clemson\u2019s will did not specify who Marie Elizabeth Venning was.<\/p>\n
Knowing her full name will help Historic Properties trace the footsteps of Marie Elizabeth Venning to tell Her Story.<\/p>\n
Stay tuned to learn more, along with Historic Properties, as we trace the footsteps of Marie Elizabeth Venning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
