She was brought from Africa when about three years old, sold in Virginia from the ship, afterwards bought by one John Elliott, a merchant of Pittsburg, and by his administrators sold to Mr. John Gardner. Mr. Gardner. died in 1820, and the woman remained with the family till the death of Mrs. Gardner, in 1820. She herself died, Jan. 31, 1863, from a burning received on the first of that month. She was thought to be one hundred and ten years old at her death.
