Martha Bayard Stevens
Martha Bayard Dod Stevens was a noted New Jersey philanthropist influential in advancing complementary educational pursuits.
She was born to Albert Baldwin Dod, a professor of mathematics at Princeton University and Caroline Smith Bayard. Caroline Bayard was daughter of Samuel Bayard and granddaughter of Continental Congressman John Bubenheim Bayard , sharing lineage with Peter Stuyvesant. Martha was a descendant of the Bayard family who emigrated from Holland to the United States before the Revolutionary War. The Bayards owned the greater part of the land now known as Hoboken and Weehawken, but lost after fleeing the country upon the surrender of the British Army. The land was then sold to Colonel John Stevens, father of Marthas future husband Edwin Augustus Stevens. Martha would become the second wife of Edwin A. Stevens on August 22, 1854. The two would be married for fourteen years and be parents to seven children.
