Portrait of Lucadia Pease. Lucadia Christiana (Niles) Pease (1813-1905) was born in Poquonock, Hartford County, Connecticut, to Richard Niles and Christiana (Griswold) Niles. Her education was equivalent to a level of high school today. At age twenty-five, she went to stay with a family in Virginia and saw Southern plantation life, including slavery, for the first time. She later visited her uncle, U. S. Senator John Milton Niles, in Washington City at the time that Texas was annexed to the Union. In 1848, Marshall Pease (a distant cousin) proposed to Lucadia, and they were married two years later. Throughout her life in Texas, Lucadia maintained her relationship with her family in Connecticut and with her husband while he was away through extensive correspondence. She was also in the north for months at a time--hence much more correspondence was written during those periods. Lucadia and Marshall's letters are full of their love for one another and for their three daughters, Carrie Margaret, Julia Maria (Julie), and Anne Marshall. During the Civil War, Anne died of typhoid fever at the age of seven. The couple brought up the children with as much education as they could provide in Austin, which had no public schools at the time, and in Connecticut. In the 1850s, Lucadia declared her belief in women's rights, and her husband supported her. She owned property in her own name and was executrix of his extensive will. As the governor's wife and thereafter, she was responsible for extensive hospitality, which was known to be gracious. She passed away at the age of ninety-one.
