Biography
Harriet Vaughan Cheney was born in Brighton, Massachusetts, September 9, 1796. Her father was John Foster, a Unitarian clergyman.Шаблон:Sfn Her mother, Hannah Webster Foster, and her sister, Eliza Lanesford Cushing, were also both writers.
Cheney published her first works in Boston. In 1830, she married Canadian merchant Edward Cheney, with whom she would have four children, and moved to Montreal, where she would spend the rest of her life. Her sister Eliza had also married a Canadian and moved to Montreal, and the two regularly contributed stories and poems to Literary Garland, Canada's foremost literary magazine of the time.
