Delia Jarvis Tudor (1753 - 1843). Born in Boston, she was the daughter of Elias and Deliverance Atkins Jarvis.
In 1778 she married William Tudor, a wealthy lawyer and leading citizen of Boston. They had six children. Their eldest son William Tudor (1779-1830) became a leading literary figure in Boston.
Another son, Frederic Tudor, founded the Tudor Ice Company and became Boston's "Ice King", shipping ice to the tropics from many local sources of fresh water including Walden Pond, Fresh Pond, and Spy Pond in Arlington, Massachusetts.
Their daughter Delia (1787–1861) married admiral Charles Stewart. They were the grandparents of Charles Stewart Parnell, a prominent Irish political leader who fought for Irish home rule until his death in 1891.
