Mary Kollock was born in Norfolk, Virginia in 1832 to Sarah (Harris) Kollock and Rev. Shepard Kosciusko Kollock. She was descended on her mother’s side from John Alden, a pilgrim who arrived in America on the maiden voyage of the Mayflower. Her paternal grandfather Shepard Kollock was a lieutenant in the Continental army.[1] He established The New Jersey Journal and edited it for thirty years.[2] Kollock inherited her love of art from her mother who was an amateur painter.[3]
