A Marriage Begins:
May 14, 1789 -- Gallatin and Sophia sign a marriage bond and marry within forty-eight hours at an unknown location. A few days after the marriage Sophia writes to her mother, begging for forgiveness for going against her mother's wishes. This letter is the only item that remains from Sophia's life. It is unknown whether Mrs. Allegre responded to it or even received it. Sophia and Gallatin depart soon after for Friendship Hill. They move into an incomplete, but still livable Brick House. Tragedy will soon strike. |
