Biography
Caroline Bayard Le Roy was a daughter of Herman Le Roy and Hannah Cornell, born 28 September 1797 in the city of New York.[1]
Caroline LeRoy married Daniel Webster in New York on 12 December 1829.[1][2] His first wife, born Grace Fletcher, had died in 1828.
Caroline Webster had no children. She died on 26 February 1882[1] in New York City[1] or New Rochelle, New York.[3] She is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, New York.[3]
Research Notes
A biography of Daniel Webster published in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register in 1867 gave the date of her marriage as 1832,[4] and this information has been propagated in some other genealogical sources. The 1832 marriage date is not supported by the record or more recent sources.

She was born Leroy. Webster was her married name. Thus these should be merged to Leroy-128.
However, the sources cited on Leroy-128 indicate that she had no children, so something needs to be done to correct the placement of the children who are connected to Webster Leroy-1.
