She was the eldest daughter of Joseph Gulston, owner of the Derwydd estate in Carmarthenshire, and Anna Maria Knowles.[1][2] Her novel The School for Fathers was read by Charlotte Brontë and George Eliot, and her novel Young Singleton may have been an influence on Eliot's Daniel Deronda.[3][4] She also published a children's fantasy story with lithographed illustrations called The Goblin's Moonlight Walk in 1844.[5]
