Portrait when she was about age 18. She was born in St. Croix to a local laundress and George A. Philips, a wealthy white New Yorker who owned businesses and plantations in the West Indies. She was educated and cared for in St. Croix while her father resided in St. Thomas. She left St. Croix as a young woman and sailed to New York. By then George Philips had died and her white relatives did not welcome her. She moved to Washington, D.C. where she lived until she married William Henry Ridley.
