After a failed marriage into the Boston Brahmin elite, she married three more times and became a socialite in New Orleans and Louisville, Kentucky. She was one of the first women in the United States to wear cosmetics, and she wore daring outfits. She embodied "an old Kentucky way of life."[1] Early lifeSally Ward was born on September 29, 1827 in Scott County, Kentucky.[2][3][4] Her father, Colonel Robert Johnson Ward, was a planter and lawyer who served as the Speaker of the Assembly of Kentucky.[1][3] Her mother, Emily Flournoy, was a native of Georgetown, Kentucky.[2][3] Her paternal grandfather, William Ward, married Sally Johnson, a sister of Vice President Richard Mentor Johnson.[5] Her paternal uncle, Junius Richard Ward, resided at Ward Hall in Georgetown, Kentucky,[5] as well as the Junius R.

Letcher, John J. Crittenden and Lazarus W. Powell, as well as George D. Prentice, the editor of the Louisville Journal.[1] They resided in Boston, Massachusetts, where she attended society balls.[3] They divorced in 1850 due to cultural differences.[2][3] In one last incident, she wore a dress resembling Amelia Bloomer's outfit at a ball in jest, but her in-laws were not amused.[1][3] Ward married Dr Robert P. Hunt, a Kentucky native, in 1852.[3][4] They resided in New Orleans, Louisiana, where they threw parties at the French Opera House.[3] They had two sons, Robert and John Wesley, and one daughter, Emily.[3] Their son John Wesley survived to adulthood.[3] Meanwhile, her husband served in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War, and he was killed in combat.[3] They separated when he joined the army, as she supported Abraham Lincoln.[4] Ward married Vene P.
