  1. So much of the above is false. She was never known as Eliza Augusta Falconet, a native of France. For many years HER PORTRAIT, which you have used above, was for many years mistaken for that of E. Augusta Falconet. Sally Middleton married a John Izard Middleton. But he WAS NOT the John Izard Middleton, who was an artist, mostly of Italian panoramas. Nor was Sally Alston Middleton "white trash."
