Abstract:

Few North Carolina authors have rivaled Mary Bayard Clark (Clarke) in versatility or quality of work accomplished. She was born in Raleigh on May 13, 1827, the daughter of lawyer and planter Thomas Pollok Devereux and Katherine Ann Johnson of Connecticut, who was descended from five colonial governors. Clark was thoroughly educated, having taken at home, under an English governess, the same courses pursued by her brother in his studies at Princeton.
