Individual Details

Winifred "Winnie" Webb

(28 Jan 1793 - 8 Jul 1833)

"...[In 1833] Sister Winny's infant was not two weeks old...when news came of the death of her parents and her brother reached her. She was kept in so much terror of cholera, for all the bank officers had died of cholera but Mr. Scott [her husband] and one other, and he [was] called upon to write wills of persons who had cholera. When Betsey was told of the death of Papa, Mama, & Isaac, she without thinking ran into Sister Winnie's room and said 'O, Sister,' Ma, Pa, & Isaac are dead' Sister lost all reason, though Dr. Scott went to her and said "Winnie you are not sick, but frightened. I assure you, you are not sick' but she called him the big wine glass all the time, and when brother was told, he exclaimed in anguish, he 'had killed them all'. Sister Winnie died in a short time after. Maria [Cook Webb] took the baby who was William and weaned Lucy [Webb Hayes] who was two years old. The cholera was at its height at that time..."
Mary Ann Todd Webb (Mrs. William T.) Nicholson, to her daughter, Isabelle Eugenia Nicholson, in 1876.

Winnie Webb Scott was heir to four slaves willed to her by her Aunt Winnie Webb.
