Daughter of poet/editor Nathaniel Parker Willis. Her uncle, the composer Richard Storrs Willis, dedicated some of his music, the "Glen Mary waltzes," to her. She was fictionalized sympathetically as "Baby Mary" in "Incidents in the Life of a Slave-Girl, Written by Herself" (1861) by Harriet Jacobs, who had served as her governess and nurse-maid as a child. She married Dr. William Eddy of New Bedford, Mass. on August 1, 1865, and the couple settled in Cambridge.
