Susanna Haliburton Weldon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Susanna Haliburton Weldon (1817–1899) was a Canadian artist and ceramics collector.

The daughter of Thomas Chandler Haliburton, she married John Wesley Weldon in 1848. She amassed a significant collection of English and Chinese ceramics; this collection is "probably the oldest formed in Canada" and is now owned by the University of King's College in Nova Scotia.[1] A scholarship at the university is named in her honour.[2]
