In 1808, she married Joseph Story in the North Church of Boston, Massachusetts. Their son, William Wetmore Story, was the noted American sculptor, art critic, poet, and editor. Joseph Story was the son of Doctor Elisha and Mehitabel (Pedrick) Story of Marblehead, Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard University in 1798 and was elected to Congress in 1808. He served as a Supreme Court Justice from 1811 to 1845, as the Dane Professor of Law at Harvard from 1829-1845, and as a member of the American Philosophical Society, the Massachusetts Historical Society, and a Fellow of the American Academy.
