Mrs Hale born (24/10/1788)

Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879)
"American writer, activist, and editor of the most widely circulated magazine in the period before the Civil War, Godey's Lady's Book." (Wiki)
And
"Mary had a little lamb..."
which appears for the first time in her book _Poems for Our Children_ (1830)
And
_Northwood_ (1827), a novel about slavery. (She advocated repatriating the slaves -- well, to Liberia, anyway.)
And
Cookbooks! (and Household Hints) _Mrs Hale's Receipts for the Million_ (1857)
"Containing Four Thousand Five Hundred and Forty Five Receipts, Facts, Directions, Etc. in the Useful, Ornamental and Domestic Arts..."
Exhausting.
The language link seems quite insignificant by comparison.
