Imogene, Lady Wolseley (1943 – 2024) was born Imogene "Jeannie" Ellen May on August 29, 1943, in Columbus, Ohio, the elder of two children of John and Grace May of Dayton. Jeannie was educated at Ohio State University in Columbus (BA), graduating with honors, and then at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio (MA). In her early twenties, she married Bowman Brown and had two daughters, one of whom died in infancy.[1]
In the 1970s, Brown began research for her first book, which was published as American Aristides: A Biography of George Wythe (Rutherford, NJ: Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 1981) under the name Imogene E. Brown. Brown donated her research for Wythe's biography to the William & Mary Law School in November 1981. An internal memo from William F. Swindler, Professor of Legal History, to Dean William B. Spong Jr. and Library Director Edmund P. Edmonds, records the donation as a "box of materials received from Mrs. Imogene Brown of Miami, Florida, via Edward Blumberg; November 6, 1981." A preliminary inventory was made by Professor Swindler.[2]
Brown met Sir Charles Garnet Richard Mark Wolseley while researching her second book. They were married on May 5, 1984, in Winchester, England and settled in Hampshire, but moved to the Wolseley family seat in Staffordshire in 1987.[3] Lady Wolseley converted to Catholicism in 1990. Lady Wolseley's second book became Wolseley: A Thousand Years of History (Lichfield: Lichfield Press, 2003). A self-published third book appeared in 2017: The Widow in the Wood (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform). The Wolseleys lost Wolseley Hall and the family estate in Staffordshire to bankruptcy in 2008. Lady Wolseley died in Rugeley, Staffordshire, on July 11, 2024.[4]
