• The grandmother of Mrs. Carlisle [Emma Valeria Barr] was “Margaret Leigo,” who, of French parentage, was a lady of rarest beauty, and a great belle in the early Colonial days of Philadelphia, Pa. In 1787, her portrait, a copy of which is herewith reproduced, was executed upon ivory by Peele [Charles Willson Peale, 1741-1827], the great artist who painted the famous portrait of Washington, and this exquisite heirloom is in the possession of Colonel Charles Arthur Carlisle, of South Bend, Ind. In April, 1789, she participated in the reception given by the ladies of Philadelphia to General George Washington, as he started upon his journey overland to New York to be inaugurated first President of the United States.9
