Sophie was the granddaughter of Anthony Dey Schuyler who was born December 18, 1785 and married Susan/Sara Ridg October 25, 1810. He was the son of Aaron Schuyler and Esther Dey. He had a brother Peter Schuyler born in 1788 who married Caroline Brother. The correct Anthony Dey Schuyler has either not been memorialized or his dates have been recorded incorrectly as Montgomery Schuyler born in 1814 could NOT have been born BEFORE his father Anthony Schuyler born in 1821 here on FindAGrave. There is an Anthony Dey Schuyler who went to a pauper's grave but that is unlikely considering the family's situation. To take it further Aaron Schuyler was the son of Arent Schuyler who was the son of Casparus Schuyler who was the son of Arent Schuyler who was the son of Philip Pieterse Schuyler.
The above comes from "Colonial New York" Vol 2 by George Washington Schuyler p 199- 204
Sophie Dey's mother was Montgomery's third wife Sophia Norton. She was baptized Sophie Elizabeth Schuyler but in later years, especially in her artist life, she styled herself Sophie Norton Schuyler Dey in honor of her mother. Whether Sophie changed her name legally is unclear but here, due to her preference, she is Sophie Norton Schuyler Dey. Her mother Sophie Norton was Montgomery Schuyler's third wife and has not been memorialized.
When her mother died her will was filed at White Plains June 8, 1921 White nates June 8th — Tho will of Sophie E Schuyler ot Pelham has been filed for probato In tho Surrogate's office She left $9,500 In real estate and gives $1,000 each to her children Eleanor S Talboys, Mary S Mills Sophie N -Dey, Philip and Eugene P Schuyler Gertrude L Schuyler, Montgomery R Schuyler and $333.33 to each of the following grandchildren: Norton, Montgomery, and- Remington Schuyler She gives her jewelry to her daughters. She appoints F J McMaster executor ' from the newspaper The Daily Item -Port Chester, New York -June 8, 1921 p 4
Her father the Very Reverend Montgomery Schuyler of Christ Cathedral in St. Louis, Mo. had been married twice before. With his first wife, Sara Sanford, they had three children who sadly all died young.
His second wife was Lydia E. Roosevelt with whom he had three children -Montgomery Roosevelt Schuyler, Frank Schuyler who died as a child and Reverend Louis S Schuyler who died in September 1878 a victim of yellow fever in Memphis where he had gone to aid those suffering from the disease. In 1834 he married Sophia Elizabeth Norton and moved to St. Louis.
There were eight children —
1. Reverend Philip Schuyler, the rector of St Ambrose Church in New York City, who was said to be very much like his father,
2. Eleanor G Schuyler who married George Rainsford Tallboys
3. Walter Norton Schuyler
4. William Ridg Schuyler
5. Mary Bertha Schuyler who married John F Mills
6. Gertrude Livingston Schuyler
7. Eugene Paschal Schuyler -never married
8. Sophie Schuyler Dey -our topic
In January 1885 an article in the St Louis Globe- Democrat -Missouri reported on an "Elaborate Birthday for Miss Nettie Price on her 8th birthday." Among the fifty children there were Sophie and her brother Eugene Schuyler. Sophie was in a white dress with pink sash and shoulder knot. It doesn't record what Eugene wore but Don Carr was in a Highland costume of black velvet and tartan plaid; a scarf fastened on the shoulder by a rhinestone buckle. A fancy affair!
In September 1891, she and her father, the Reverend Montgomery Schuyler "made a little visit to his brother family in the East, en route for home Miss Grace Schuyler May possibly accompany them to St Louis for a little visit."
Sophie was an artist and pioneer in women's suffrage in New York having been one of the founders of the West Chester League of Women Voters, a member of The National Women's Republican Club, New Rochelle Equal Franchise League, and one of the first women to register to vote in New York. Further active with women's affairs, she was involved with the Girls Friendly Society in New York City. She also had marched in all the Suffragette Parades in New York City up to the point the "Who's Who" had been compiled in 1914. (Where some of this information was gathered) possibly more through the years.
Profession: Painter
Studied: St. Louis Art School of Fine Arts; in Paris with Raphael Collin
Exhibited: NY. Watercolor Society; Western Artists, 1898; and NY Society of American Artists
Sources: WW10; Petteys, Dictionary of Women Artists.
She married Henry Dey September 4, 1907. To quote a newspaper clipping of the day, "Miss Sophie Schuyler, daughter of the Rev Montgomery Schuyler D. D. Of St Louis and Henry E Dey were married yesterday morning at Christ Church, Pelham Manor, the bride's brother, the Rev Philip Schuyler officiating. The bride was given in marriage by another brother, Roosevelt Schuyler. Miss Maud Schuyler attended as maid of honor and Theodore M Hill was the best man."
In January of 1934 she was called by her brother Eugene to St. Louis as he recovered from an illness at his son Norton's home- her nephew.
Before Sophie passed away, she had been living at 100 Jackson Avenue in Pelham Manor, New York where she lived as the widow of Henry E Dey who was also an artist and receiver of taxes in Pelham.
She died in at New Rochelle Hospital.
It is interesting to note that despite her actions for women's rights her obituary is titled Mrs. Henry Dey and it is a very small blurb at that.
