William
Magee Seton
 n
1768 William Magee Seton, the man destined to be the love
of Elizabeth Bayley's life, was born. William was schooled
in England and completed his education on the Continent. In
Leghorn, Italy, he became close friends with the Filicchis,
a family that would play a significant role in the life of
Elizabeth Seton.
When
William wooed the beautiful and vivacious Eliza Bayley, he
was a sophisticated young man. The young debutante fell deeply
in love with him. Their courtship was filled with the pleasures
of the day — the theatre, dancing and music. Married
in 1794, the young Setons were prominent in New York society.
In 1803
William Seton died in Italy.
