Ayşe Şems-i Nur was taken as a very young teenager from her family during the Chios incidents of 1822 and brought to Istanbul. Over time, she married Ahmed Fethi Pasha and had three daughters and two sons. One of the daughters, Emine Güzide Hanım, married Said Pasha and gave birth to five children. Saide Hanım, one of Güzide Hanım's daughters, married Ömer Lütfü (Argeşo) and gave birth to four children named Samiha, Fikret, Semih and Said. Samiha Argeşo, who married Prof. Dr. Ahmet Kemal Atay, is the mother of our Trustee Leyla Tüten. Emine Güzide Hanım's other daughter and Saide Hanım's dearest younger sister Yegâne Hanım married Hüseyin Siret Bey, one of the core poets of Servet-i Fünûn, an avant-garde period newspaper from early 1890s until 1940s. Yegâne Hanım's daughter Rey'an Şehsuvaroğlu is the mother of our advisory board member Esra Birgen Jah.
