Mother: Cecilia Ann GRAHAM |
At age 13, Sarah Elliott Linton's grandmother, Sally Linton,
died, leaving her entire estate to Sarah. When Sarah graduated
from Georgetown Visitation at age 16, she had a strong desire to
become a Catholic, but the family firmly opposed her wish. Her
determination persisted and she was baptized Catholic at age 20.
Two years later she entered the order of the Georgetown
Visitation Sisters and in October of that year she was given the
name of Sister Mary Baptista.
Meanwhile, after Sarah's departure, the Lintonsford plantation
did not prosper. Her mother and half-sister built a smaller
house for themselves on another part of the property, but
Cecelia died shortly after it's completion on 21 May 1878. The
original mansion burned and then the second house. After the
Civil War, Sarah's half-sister, Anne Philips found herself among
the land poor. In consultation with Sister Baptista, Anne began
selling smaller parcels for farming. After reading "Monks of the
West" Sister Baptista thought of giving over whatever remained
of the Linton estate to the Benedictine Order for educational
purposes. In 1892 a trust was drawn up for the remaining 1,736
acres of Lintonsford. The Deed of Trust read in part: "...a
large tract to be used by the Benedictine Fathers to hold,
manage and use said land for poor and homeless white boys and
youths," and a 500-acre tract "for the purpose of establishing
thereon a school for the training and education of poor and
friendless white girls in the habits of instruction and virtue,
and in learning useful occupations suitable to their conditions
in life, in such manner and under the direction and control of
such religious or charitable order or organization as the said
trustees may deem most suitable." Later on 1 Aug 1893 the
charter for the Benedictine Society of Linton Place, Prince
William County, was issued. It specified that the company was
formed for the purposes of establishing and conducting "an
industrial farm and school for the maintenance and education of
youth in arts and sciences and in the different branches of
industrial and agricultural instructions."

Sisters of St. Benedict's Convent, Bristow, Prince William
County, Virginia," by Sister M. Helen Johnston, Linton Hall
