| Shared note | BIOGRAPHY My grandfather, Samuel Relf Durand (1904-1996), remembers his aunts in his biographical sketch of his mother: "In reading some old diaries of [my mother's], I was surprised to find that almost every day she had some sort of social engagement. There were frequent 'sisters meetings' when my Aunt Sally (Mrs. James Slidell), Aunt Mary (Mrs. Charles Lemon), Aunt Sue (Mrs. Selden Sperry) and Aunt Sophy (Mrs. Frederick Best) would meet for afternoon tea and, if at our house, we children had to come in to pay our respects."
