The manner and reason of Dolley Madison's death was not disclosed. It is likely the cause was natural since she was over 80 years old.
Since Anna was 8 years younger than Dolley, Anna would have been 4 years old when Dolley was 12. (http://www.nndb.com/people/644/000126266/ birth dates are at the bottom)
No- not to my knowledge. It is possible that when she was very old that she lost her sight- it used to be impossible to remove cataracts and many people were almost blind before they died.
Dolley would have been 46 when she saved the important papers and artifacts from the White House from the British in 1812.
Dolley Payne Todd, later to be known as Dolley Madison lived with her first husband and family in Philadelphia. Their home, still standing, is on the corner of 4th and Walnut Streets.
