Emily (Morris) Gallatin (1873-1944)
Mrs Emily Lorillard (Morris) Gallatin, of New York City & "Chepstow" Newport, R.I.
She was a first cousin of Lewis Gouverneur Morris II. In 1911, she purchased Edmund Henry Schermerhorn's summer home in Newport (see images) and she named it "Chepstow" for a picturesque seaside town in south Wales. On her death, she left the property to her first cousin's daughter, Alletta (Morris) McBean, who donated it to the Newport Preservation Society after her death in 1986.
