About Martha Tone (Witherington)
While Wolfe Tone was a student in Trinity College he first met his wife Matilda Witherington. On the 21st of July 1785 the couple eloped. Matilda was then aged sixteen and the story is best described by an entry in Wolfe Tone’s diary as follows:
A beautiful morning in the month of July she accepted my proposal of marriage… I took her to the Church in Dawson St where we were married and I carried her out of town to Maynooth for a few days.
