Cecilia Bellett, of a French Canadian family, her father being a native of France, a member of the Royalist party, who fled from his native country after the accession of Robespierre to power, and settled in Canada, where he changed his name from that of "Lord Clairmount " to "Bellett." He married the adopted daughter of the Governor General of Canada, an intelligent and highly accomplished lady, and subsequently came to the United States and settled in Williamsburg, Virginia.
