Known for some years as Miss Adams, one of the best of English dancers; was always an attraction at the Old Circus, now the Surrey, in the grand ballets there. Her husband William Barrymore, was for many years stage manager and inventor of pantomimes at Drury Lane, at which theatre she appeared with great success, particularly as Fenella in Masaniello. In 1831, she and her husband went to America, made a great reputation, and settled at Boston; and when Mr Barrymore died, in 1846, his widow returned to this country, where she resided up to the time of her death, having reached nearly her eightieth year. She was a clever linguist, artist and musician.
