History
Eliza Simcoe was the eldest daughter of John Graves and Elizabeth Posthuma Simcoe. She was born ca. 1784 and lived until 1865. She resided at Wolford Lodge throughout her life, alongside her three younger sisters born before Simcoe’s term in Upper Canada. Simcoe took an active part in the promotion of the careers of other members of the family, particularly John K. Simcoe, an officer in the Royal Navy. She also worked to preserve the papers and memory of her parents. Eliza may have been responsible for the arrangement of her mother’s sketches into binders and scrap books.
