Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791-1865), born in Norwich, Connecticut, “was almost from infancy remarkable for a love a knowledge, and facility in its acquisition. She read with fluency when but three years of age; and at eight she wrote verses which attracted attention among the acquaintances of her family. At the age of nineteen, in company with an intimate friend, Miss Ann Maria Hyde, she established a female school at Norwich, and two years later removed to Hartford, where she also engaged in the duties of instruction. In 1819 she was married to Mr. Charles Sigourney…” – Allibone.
