Notes:

Death detail from Carmel in America p. 123, where she is described as the first novice of the community. More recently, her cousin Eleanora, daughter of Thomas Carberry and Catherine Simmons took her vows on 21 Dec 1812 in her fortieth year, ill health having prevented her from joining until then (p. 120).
