Embarrassing for me on two accounts:
1. I have had Howe's book for years and if I ever read those passages, I had completely forgotten!
2. I lived my whole life in Rhode Island until retirement in early 2017, viewed Anita's estate there (Malbone House) and also visited her grave in the churchyard of St. Columba's Episcopal Church. As her main residence was in New York City, I had not considered that she might have dealt with the citizenship issue while summering in Newport, as many wealthy New Yorkers did (and still do).
Again, thank you!
