"Born in Salem, Massachusetts, on September 21, 1809, Sophia Amelia Peabody was the daughter of Nathaniel and Elizabeth Peabody. She had three brothers and two sisters. Her sister, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, taught Sophia geography, science, literature, and both American and European history; Sophia also learned to read Latin, French, Greek, and Hebrew. She suffered from poor health and suffered migraines. She went to Cuba in 1833 with her sister, Mary, to improve her health.
Sophia met Nathaniel Hawthorne through her sister, Elizabeth. They became secretly engaged on New Year's Day, 1839. They were married on July 9, 1842, at the Peabodys' bookstore at 13 West Street in Boston. They rented and moved into The Old Manse in Concord.
The Hawthornes' daughter, Una, was born March 3, 1844. They were financially strained.
For a while, they lived in Salem while Nathaniel waited for a government job."
