Maria Latham Anderson was born about 1848 probably in Ohio, but possibly in Maryland, the third child and second daughter of [[#Robert Anderson|Major Robert Anderson]] by his wife [[#Eliza Bayard Clinch|Eliza Bayard Clinch]].  Maria's father Robert died in 1871 in Nice, France where they had gone for his health. But per the story related by Patricia Bosworth, her mother Eliza hysterically kept her daughters under close watch desiring them to stay with her as maidens until her death.  This is supposed to have occurred in Washington, DC.  Maria's eldest surviving sibling Eliza married late in life in 1886 and moved to New York City, the next sibling Maria '''reportedly''' married Woodbury Blair, somewhere around Washington, between 1886 and 1888. Maria is supposed to have from this had a child in Philadelphia which was given up for adoption in 1888, and the marriage annuled.  The youngest sister Sophie never married.  One eldest sibling, a boy died an infant, and the only other sibling Robert died at age 20 unmarried.  It would appear that at some point the entire extended family was living in New York City when they appear in the Social Register, but this is not perfectly clear yet.
