Roxanna Ward

• Name Variation:
• Roxanna Ward was born on January 7, 1751 in Guilford, Connecticut. Fluent in French, Roxana's ready taste in literature made her the 'queen' of a circle of home-educated firls who eagerly awaited the arrival of each new book from England. Novel reading was not frowned upon in this worldly circle. Samuel Richardson, Maria Edgeworth, even the bawdy adventures of Fanny Burney's qwiwqEvelinaqw/iwq were read and discussed by the girls as they spun flax together Roxana Foote used to tie books by the best French authors to her distaff and study as she spun.
  
  Judging that Roxana's was the best mind in the family, Lyman Beecher chose her over her sisters. He may also have judged that her gentle and compliant spirit would be more companionable than the satiric wit of her sister Harriet, whom Lyman described as 'smart, witty; a little too keen.' Roxana's analytic mind was yoked to a spirit so timid that she could not speak in public without blushing, a reticence so great that even the public duties of a minister's wife were too much for her. But Lyman needed only a sounding board and a domestic regulator; in religious matters, he was general of his own campaign. He declared himself pleased with his choice: 'she entered into my character entirely.¹'
