Notes for George IV EMLEN
GEORGE EMLEN, 4TH, who married SARAH FISHBOURNE, was well known as a merchant, with a town house and the country seat which had belonged to his father in the White Marsh Valley. He evidently lived in easy circumstances, and is mentioned as the owner of a "chariot" or "post chaise."
SARAH FISHBOURNE, his wife, is spoken of by "Sally Wister," in her journal: "I think Sally Emlen one of the most beautiful women I ever saw, agreeable, affable, sensible in the true sense of the words. Her conversation is so very lively and diverting, that even were her personal attractions less than they are, she could not fail of being beloved."--See article on Emlen Family by F. Willing Leach in the North American.
