About Grace Fletcher
Grace (Fletcher) Webster (1781–1828) was the first wife of Daniel Webster. She was with him as he started his law career in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and then sought to improve their lives by settling in Boston on Beacon Hill. Daniel, a successful attorney and statesman, was often away from his family for months at a time. Webster raised her five children, two of whom died in their childhood. She was particularly skilled at hosting both small, intimate dinner parties as well as large dinner receptions, like the one for Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette.
