}}Mary Sibbet Copley (June 19, 1843 – June 9, 1929) was an American philanthropist and charity worker.[1]

Early life

Mary was born at Appleby Manor near Kittanning, Pennsylvania in Armstrong County on June 19, 1843.[2][3] She was the daughter of Margaret and Josiah Copley,[4] a pioneer editor who was well known in the community.[5]

Personal life

In 1867, she married William Thaw, Sr. (1818–1889) after the death of his first wife.[6][7] Together, they had five children that survived childhood:

  • Harry Kendall Thaw (1871–1947), who would later murder Stanford White [8][9][10] In his will, he left $10,000, less than 1% of his fortune, to wife Evelyn Nesbit.[11]
  • Edward Thaw (1873–1924), who married Jane Olmsted (1880–1958)
  • Josiah Copley Thaw (1874–1944), who married Mary Harrington Thomson (1881–1947)
  • Margaret Copley Thaw (1877–1942),[12] who first married George Lauder Carnegie (1876–1921), nephew of Andrew Carnegie. After his death, she married married Roger, Comte de Périgny and became Countess de Périgny.[13][14]
  • Alice Cornelia Thaw (1880–1955), who married George Seymour, 7th Marquess of Hertford (1871–1940).[15] They divorced and she married Geoffrey George Whitney, Sr. in 1913.[16]

She died, a few days before her 87th birthday, on June 9, 1929, of pneumonia.[17] She was buried in Allegheny Cemetery in Pittsburgh.[18][19][20]

Philanthropy

After her husband's death in 1889, she used the wealth she inherited to fund archaeology research, including funds for prominent women archaeologists including Alice Fletcher and Zelia Nuttall.[21] Thaw also funded the Thaw Fellowship at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard College.[3]
