Matilda Mackintosh was baptized by Rev. John Clanly of the Presbyterian faith. Her parents were Dr. George Mackintosh and Sarah Weitzel. Her father was of Scotch descent. Their family coat of arms was a cat reaching after a glove, with the
motto "Touch not the cat but a glove." Mention is made of his clan in the novel by Sir Walter Scott, in his novel "The Fair Maid of Perth." They were fighters as far back, as heard from -- none of them "nursed on the milk of the white doe."

Notes written by Amanda Morgan about her mother:

"Now that I come to write of my mother, my pen weakens -- I can find no words to do her justice. One so complete in the qualities of heart and mind is rarely met with. Tender and sweet and loving, with no ambition but to be a good wife and
mother. 'To do justice, love mercy and walk humbly before God' was her creed, and faithfully she observed it. The long and ceaseless devotion of her husband attests to her enduring virtues. 'Her children rise and call her blessed.' Their
devotion speaks of their gratitude for the privilege of calling her by the sweet name of Mother. It was impossible to be near her and not feel the influence of her [unreadable]. Her charity was unparalled. The world would be better if there
were more like her."
