Biography

Born in 1804 and passing in 1891, Eliza Ann Coles Neilson Winthrop’s long life spanned much of the 19th century, and her final rest in St. Mark’s Church in-the-Bowery Churchyard links her forever with the quieter moments of New York City’s past.

Though specific achievements of hers may not be widely recorded, the endurance of her name and the peace of her chosen resting place invite reflection on the steady heart she must have been for her family and community.
