Excerpt from The Jumel Mansion: Being a Full History of the House on Harlem Heights Built by Roger Morris Before the Revolution; Together With Some Account of Its More Notable Occupants, With Illustrations
The accepted story of Madame Jumel is made up from the fantastic imaginings of a crazy woman, who had sought all her life for social recognition, without success in America, and whose reputed triumphs were largely the dreams of a disordered mind. Her story is here told for the first time, with no desire to expose a family skeleton, but as a part of the evolution of an historical house which drifted upon degenerate days.
The facts of the birth and early history of Betsy Bowen are taken from the town records of the village of Providence, brought as evidence in the United States Supreme Court, in a famous case, whose official record Congressional Library at Washington.
