Wife of Byron Kilbourn. Byron married Henrietta Karrick of Baltimore, MD a year after his wife, Mary died. They met when Byron went to Washington. She was twenty-eight years old at the time she married Byron, and was the youngest of five children born to Joseph and Rebecca Ord Karrick of Baltimore. She was an eastern beauty nine years his junior. Byron's new wealth guaranteed his new wife having a houseful of servants. Nannies came to care for Glorianna and Lucy.
"Contemporaries described the new Mrs. Kilbourn as pretty, aristocratic, and an eastern belle accustomed to money and servants." Thirty-one months after their marriage she presented him with a son, Byron Hector. Five years later John Fitch, a second son was born. In 1845 she won a garden prize for her "pinks."
