Biographical Information

Deborah Ann (Dill) Bronson was born in 1809, the daughter of Robert Dill and Eliza (Myers) Dill Pitney. Deborah's father was an early landowner in Auburn, New York. On May 14th, 1829, Deborah married George H. Wood. After George's premature death in 1844, Deborah married Parliament Bronson on August 19, 1845. Deborah and Frances Seward were long-time social acquaintances. Frances seems to have had little patience for her, declaring in a letter to her sister Lazette written after George Wood's death dated February 18, 1844, that she would "not feel desolate long she has not sufficient depth of feeling." After Parliament died in 1857, Deborah remained unmarried until her own death on March 16, 1888.
