attained her 14th year. Her laft marriage 
was to Col. Grant, then commanding officer 
at Jamaica. The premature engagements 
and duties of her family cares, added to the 
peculiar maladies of a Weft Indian climate, 
rapidly fhattered a beautiful and delicate 
frame of body ; infomuch that, even tothofe

widow. Not to dwell, however, with pro-
