Sophie Madeleine du Pont was born in 1810 and raised in an affluent area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the early years of her upbringing, as the youngest of four girls, she was educated by her oldest sister, Victorine, before she began her formal education at Mrs. Grimshaw's school. During her education, she developed keen interests in a broad range of fields such as drawing, painting, literature, religion, and genealogy.
