Maria (Kane) de Peyster (1798-1869)
Mrs Maria Antoinette (Kane) Hone, de Peyster
She was described by her brother-in-law, William Wood, as being, "a complete contrast to her husband; with great personal beauty she had most captivating manners, and was full of wit and fun, and made her husband's house noted for its hospitality, and for the intellectual and pleasant society which frequented it".
