She had a direct ancestor, Charles Lewis Torreyson, who was a prominent circuit riding Methodist minister in the Northern Shenandoah Valley during the WBTS. Charles Torreyson's brother, Thomas Nelson Torreyson, her uncle, was a member of the 35th Virginia Cavalry Battalion (White's Comanches), Co. C.

I need to do more research on this part of her family that included Marylanders and Virginians (future West Virginia).

She also had ancestors from Alexandria, VA and Lynchburg, VA.
