Was reading Library of Congress ( https://archive.org/details/richardsondeprie00lcroll) on my great grandmother Mary DePriest, found this letter from the Richardson - DePriest family, stating:" "I heard grand-ma De Priest (R) say that Dolly Madison's mother was an old friend and school- mate, and when Dolly was an infant her mother was very ill. She sent her baby to grand-ma De P., and she stayed with her until she was four years old. She called grand-ma Mama Pattie.
