Ancestry
She was of mixed Scottish/English ancestory was she not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.189.154.175 (talk) 15:53, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
"She is the first United States-born person to be canonized." Well strictly, no she isn't; she was born in 1774, before the United States was founded. As far as I can tell, Katharine Drexel is the only Roman Catholic saint so far to have been born in the U.S. —Angr 14:09, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Seton was canonized in 1975. Drexel was canonized in 2000. The reference is to the date of canonization, not to her birth. She was a U.S. citizen. The wording, however, can be changed to more accurately represent that fact. --Strothra 04:35, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- The wiki page on Mother Cabrini claims that she was the first American citizen to be canonized, in the 1950's, and that appears to me to be the case. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 132.170.38.71 (talk) 19:50, 28 January 2007 (UTC).
- Cabrini was the first American citizen to be canonized, but she was not native-born in the USA (she was born in Italy). Seton was the first American citizen to be canonized, who was also native-born in the USA (she was born in New York City). Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 16:21, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
She was born in New York City. That has been part of the United States of America since the Continental Congress. Where do the first Americans ever get listed as British-born? Unlike Mother Cabrini and Bishop Neumann, she WAS born here.
I don't know about the Scottish (maybe you are thinking of her husband's ancestry), but her mother's side of the family was French Hugenot.
Elizabeth's "soul sister" Rebecca was not her daughter, she was her sister-in-law, also named Rebecca.
