Biography
teacher, was born in Edinburgh. She came to Van Diemen’s land from Sierra Leone after her husband, Staff-Surgeon David Law of the 2nd Queen’s Own Regiment, died there in 1834. At the end of 1835 she opened a seminary for young ladies in St John Street, Launceston, where she gave private instruction in music and drawing. In 1836 Mrs Law petitioned for a land grant in lieu of her pension, claiming in her application to be the (natural?) daughter of Lord Eldon of Edinburgh. (Since he did not live there, this must have been a slip of the pen for Lord Eldin.) She subsequently married Thomas Scott of Springfield, Launceston, and died, his widow, on 1 September 1864 at St Kilda, Melbourne. She was not connected with the Tasmanian sculptor Benjamin Law.
