Speech of Com; Jesse Duncan Elliott, U. S. N: Delivered in Hagerstown, MD., On 14th November, 1843 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Speech of Com; Jesse Duncan Elliott, U. S. N: Delivered in Hagerstown, MD., On 14th November, 1843
It is known to many in this respected audience, that the honor of a' Marylander's birth-right was derived from parents, both of whom were Pennsylvanians, and that in the ninth year of my age, my father' was killed by a party of Indians, on the Muskingum, on his route to join the army of Gen. Wayne, to which he was attached as a Commis sary. The distressing event which made me an orphan, brought with it also the evils of poverty, upon a devoted mother; who in her widow hood had to struggle for the support of those that were left her, in infancy and childhood. Through the generous and noble exertions of the late John Thompson Mason. Of your county, Congress voted a small gra-f tuity to the relief of the relict of a brave ofiicer; and Mr. Jefferson, then President of the United States, deprecating the parsimony of the grant, forwarded warrants for midshipmen in the Navy, to my brother St. Clair and myself. It was a spontaneous act of the great Apostle of' Liberty, and it cheered the heart of a fond mother, in the season of. Gloom and painful anxiety.
