Who was Elizabeth Ann Seton?

Her father was Dr. Richard Bayley, a noted lecturer at King’s College (now Columbia University). He was the first health officer and was responsible for the first quarantine station. Her mother was also of a well-known family – she was Catherine Charlton, daughter of the Rector of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Staten Island. After her education in a private school in New York, Elizabeth Ann became a prominent figure in New York society. She was beautiful, charming and of a deeply religious spirit. At 19, she married William Magee Seton, the son of a wealthy merchant. Five children were born to this happy couple. However, in a few short years, this family was to experience business misfortune and ill health. William Seton died in Leghorn, Italy in 1803, after a sea voyage was undertaken in vain in an attempt to restore his health. The Filicchi family of Leghorn took the widow and her children into their home and showed her every kindness. This was a truly genuine Catholic household. Elizabeth was very impressed by all she saw.
