She married John Nicks (d. 1711), an associate of governor Elihu Yale, with whom she had four children.
It appears as she acted as the business agent of Yale, selling supplies embezzled from the company.
In 1692, Elihu Yale deposed as governor and faced enquiries, while John Nicks was arrested.
She was put on trial and fined for having sold wares from the company's godowns on Yale's private account.
She was allowed to depart for England, and was joined by Yale, who brought with him her spouse and children, in 1699.
