Abstract
In late September 1853 Sarah Hicks Williams, born in New Hartford, New York State, on March 7, 1827 to Samuel and Sarah Parmelee Hicks, honeymooned in Montreal following her wedding on the ninth of that month to Benjamin F. Williams, a physician and slaveholder in Greene County, North Carolina. She wrote her parents from Canada describing the majesty of Niagara (albeit from the Canadian side) and the “charming scenery” of Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence, before she signed off, “Sarah F. Williams.” Then, following a momentary pause of reflection she added a post-script, “Don’t that look funny? ha ha no more Sarah Hicks.”1 KeywordsMarried LifeSeparate SphereHistorical ImaginationArchival HoldingSouthern WomanThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
