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.
1790,she was 21 years old.
I would argue that she was not famous when she married Madison. She was the 26 year-old widow of a lawyer in Philadelphia with a young son to care for. She was vivacious and made a good impression at social functions.
Dolley would have been 46 when she saved the important papers and artifacts from the White House from the British in 1812.
