Varina Howell Davis was the granddaughter of Richard Howell, the third governor of New Jersey. Her father, William Burr Howell, came to Natchez, Mississippi where Varina was raised in the Antebellum South.

She learned to question the status quo and developed a broad mindedness that was uncommon among her peers.
