She was the daughter of Barbarina Wilmot, later Barbarina Brand, Lady Dacre, and Valentine Henry Wilmot. She married Reverend Frederick Sullivan (1797–1873), vicar of Kimpton, Hertfordshire[2] (and fourth son of Sir Richard Sullivan, 1st Baronet) and was the mother of Barbarina Grey, Lady Grey and Sir Francis Sullivan, 6th Baronet.

She wrote Recollections of a Chaperon (1831) and Tales of the Peerage and Peasantry (1835), both collections of stories credited to her mother, but were written by her and only edited by her mother.[2]
