Anna Murray Vail
Anna Murray Vail (7 January 1863 – 18 December 1955) was an American botanist and first librarian of the New York Botanical Garden. She was a student of the Columbia University botanist and geologist Nathaniel Lord Britton, the force behind the founding of the New York Botanical Garden, and was active in its creation.
== Early life ==
Anna was born in New York's east side, the first child of David Olyphant Vail and Cornelia Georgina (Nina) Van Rensselear 〔W. W. Spooner, THE VAN RENSSELAER FAMILY, American Historical Magazine, vol 2 # 1, 1907.〕 On her mother's side, she is descended from two of New York's most elite Dutch families, the Van Rensellaers and Van Cortlandts. Her great-great-grandfather was General Robert Van Rensselaer, who fought at Ticonderoga during the American Revolution under the orders of his mother's brother in law, General Philip Schuyler.〔 Her younger sister, Cornelia, married Henry Golden Dearth a distinguished American painter.
Her father, David Olyphant Vail, was the son of Benjamin C. and Eliza Ann (née Archer) Vail.〔"Rhode Island, Marriages, 1724-1916," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F8VL-K6N : accessed 04 Mar 2013), David Olyphant Vail and Cornelia Georgina (King) Van Rensselaer, 27 Mar 1862.〕 David O. Vail's connection to the Olyphant family is through his maternal grandmother, Ann Mckenzie (1782 - 5 Nov 1857). Her first husband was Zeno Archer, who she married in 1803. Their daughter was Eliza Ann who married Benjamin Vail. Following Zeno's death, Ann McKenzie Archer married David W.C. Olyphant.
David O. Vail is listed as a "merchant" on an 1862 ship manifest 〔Arrival Record, SS Africa 14 Mar 1862 in NY,〕 and in a Van Rensselaer family history is described as "...resident partner of the house of Olyphant & Company at Shanghai, China."〔Van Rensselaer and Allied Families, Americana, vol 14, page 299, 1920〕 His death notice describes him as being "...lately of China...", but it is not clear where or of what he died in 1865 at age 32. His middle name, Olyphant, and the fact that he worked for Olyphant & Company reflect his connection to that family on his mother's side. Olyphant and Company, founded in 1827 by David WC Olyphant and Charles N. Talbot, was one of the pioneers of the Old China Trade.
