She was born on October 27, 1826 in Keene, New Hampshire, United States, the eldest of seven children of James and Mary Lord (Richardson) Wilson. Her great-grandfather, Robert Wilson, a Presbyterian, came to America from Ireland in the first migration of Scotch-Irish to America and fought in the Revolution. Her grandfather, James Wilson, and her father were both members of Congress.
Mary attended a private school but was not a good student and was reported to her parents by the village librarian as reading too many novels. After the family became Unitarians, she was sent to the school conducted by George Barrell Emerson in Boston.
Her first story, sent anonymously to the Social Gazette, brought her mother's reproof. When her father went to Iowa as surveyor-general about 1842, she accompanied him, meeting Charles Dickens in Washington on the way. During her father's term in Congress, 1847-50, she acted as his housekeeper and hostess in Washington, her mother having died.
Many verses appeared under the initials M. E. W. S. Her stories and verse are not noteworthy. Her popularity was due to her books on social life and etiquette, which her experience in Washington official life, in New York society, and in Europe fitted her to write.
Her An Epistle to Posterity; Being Rambling Recollections of Many Years of My Life (1897) and Here and There and Everywhere; Reminiscences (1898) show her to have felt the importance of her social opportunities and of the prominent people who were her friends or acquaintances.
After her marriage she lived in New York but made frequent visits to Washington, Boston, and Europe. She numbered among her acquaintances Daniel Webster, W. H. Prescott, George Bancroft, J. L. R. Agassiz, James T. Fields, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Julia Ward Howe, the poets Longfellow, Bryant, and Lowell, Thackeray, Lord Houghton, Sir John Millais, and Sir Frederic Leighton.
Though an invalid for some years before her death, she continued to write and was a contributor to the N. Y. Times Saturday Review of Books.
She died in New York City.
Mary Elizabeth Wilson Sherwood sucessfully contributed to New York and Boston newspapers, to the Atlantic Monthly, Scribner's Monthly, Appletons' Journal, the Galaxy, Harper's Magazine, and Frank Leslie's Weekly. Her most famius works: Home Amusements (1881), A Transplanted Rose (1882), Royal Girls and Royal Courts (1887), Sweet Brier (1889). During the Civil War she worked with the Sanitary Commission, engaged in much philanthropy in hospitals and work for women and children. She was decorated in France with the insignia of Officier d'Academie on account of her literary work .
