Extract from "The Letters of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow" by Andrew R Hilen, Vol II, 1966. HWL is writing to his father, 14 Jul 1838:
"In New York I saw Mrs Henley and the Higbees, though only once. They did not seem to like it, that I did not seek them out earlier. But I could not. I had too many people to see, and the weather was too hot. Mrs Higbee is beautiful. Mr H. is not. They thought it too bad for me not to go to Washington -- WHEN I WAS SO NEAR. They call New York NEAR! The head was too great to think of such a movement." Footnote on "Mrs Henley" reads: "Elizabeth Denison Henley (b. 1788), sister of Louisa Denison Wadsworth (92.4), was the widow of Capt. John Dandridge Henley, U.S.N. (1781-1835). Her daughter Frances was the wife of Rev. Higbee (413.3).
John D. Henley and Eliza Denison were married at Havre de Grace, Maryland, on 26 Mar 1816.
Their granddaughter, Margaret Bayard Smith (daughter of of J. Bayard H. Smith and Henrietta Elizabeth Smith Henley), died in 1909 and bequeathed many of the Washington family relics to the Mt Vernon Ladies Association, to be placed in Mrs Washington's room at Mount Vernon.
