She was indentured to the North Family in 1851, and lived at the Lower Canaan Family and then the Upper Canaan Family. By about 1890, she was living at the Enfield, CT North Family. When that community closed in 1913, she moved to the Mount Lebanon Church Family, and was an eldress there from 1914 to 1919.
