Author. She was the author of the text "Memoir of the life and public services of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, F.R.S." in 1830. She was the second wife of Raffles, the British explorer of Southeast Asia, who was credited for founding the city of Singapore in 1819. The biography's subtitle reads "Particularly in the government of Java, 1811–1816; and of Bencoolen and its dependencies, 1817–1824; with details of the commerce and resources of the Eastern archipelago; and selections from his correspondence." At least a dozen hardback copies of the 20-chapter text are still available in reference libraries, mainly in Singapore, and available for free download from the website Internet Archive. She met the widower Raffles in 1816 and they married February 22, 1817. Her husband had no children from his first marriage. The couple had two sons and three daughters: Charlotte, Leopold, Stamford, Ella, and Flora. From June 27, 1821 to November 28, 1823, four of her young children died from an epidemic of dysentery and were buried at Bencoolen, in Southeast Asia . At that point, Ella was sent to England with a nurse. Her daughter, Ella, was five years old when Sir Stamford died in 1826. Ella died unmarried in May of 1840, months before her planned summer wedding. Upon her husband's death, she inherited a debt of twenty-two thousand pounds due to the British East India Company for expenses during her husband's career. Following her death, her husband's heir, Rev. William Charles Raffles Flint, a nephew, attempted to sell but later donated to the British Museum the "Raffles Collection," which was 2,100 pieces of artifacts including decorated masks, coins, wooden figurines, shadow puppets and traditional percussion instruments, which were collected during their years in Southeast Asia. A second donation was made by a great-grandniece in 1939. She remained at the family's home at Highwood until her death. Her grave is located near Ella's, but not directly next to her daughter's grave.
