Her sister Cassandra fell in love with Thomas Fowle, a former student of her father. They became engaged, but he needed more money in order to marry and became a chaplain on a military expedition. He died of yellow fever. He had left money to Cassandra in his will, not a vast amount, but enough for her to live comfortably.
