1 PROCE EDINGS OF THE GATHERING OF 1930

TnURSDAY, O CTOBER 16, 3 P. M. T he Societ y was called to order in the Gridiron Room of the \ illard Hotel, Washington, D. C., by the Chieft ain, Rev. James Mitchell Ma­ grud er, D. D., announcing the twenty-first annual gat hering of th e American Clan Gregor Society. Invocati on was by the Chaplain of the Societ y, Rev. Enoch M agruder Thompson. The report of the Scribe, Robert Lee Magruder, Jr., pointed out that minutes of the 1929 gathering had been published in the Year Book of th e Society. He stressed th at our addr ess list of members was incorrect, owing to failure of members to notify of changes in address. He announced tha t only two bible records had been submitted durin g the rear and urged the importance of members sending in certified copies of such record for preservation in the year book. He urged the membe rs to renew interest in the organization by attend ance at the annual gatherings and securing new members, together with furnishing items of general inte rest relati ve to families of Clan members. The report of the Registrar, M rs, O. O. Van den Berg, showed that only four new members had become affi liated with the Society during th e year, namely: 675 Mrs. Gertrude Berry Patterson, 322 W. Center St., Fostoria, Ohio. 676 Miss Mary Adelaide Jenkins, Hunting Ridge, Edmondson and Swan Ave., Baltimore, Md. 678 Irs. Wilson B. Da vis (jennie L. Embry) 944 Green St., Augu sta, Ga. 679 Mrs. Joseph F. Bartoli (Addie Lou Davis) 125 East 106th St., New York, N. Y. Th e Registrar announced with regret that the appli cations of Dr. Henry Allan Gleason, of New York Cit y, and Mr. and Mrs. George Brick Smith, of ewport ews, Va., were of necessity refused, owing to lack of data. Ea ch of the se app licants would add much to the personnel of our Society and it is hoped th e missing information will be found. Mrs . Van den Berg further stated th at she had purchased a bolt of ribbon in the Ma cGregor plaid, from which to cut badges for new mem­ bers. Th e report of the Historian, Mi ss Mary Th erese Hill, showed the following deaths : 113 Robert Lee Magruder, Sr Born 1856, Died 1929 252 Mrs. Helen Mun caster assaway Born 1863, Died 1930 287 Mrs. W.

GENERAL JOH NBANKHEAD !o. [AGRUDE R, C. S. A., IN TH E PE NINSULAR CAMPAIGN, l\1ARCH-JU LY, 1862 / .

By H ENllY !\IAGRUDEIl. T AYLOIl, VI RGI NIA

A biographical sketch of General Magruder has already been presented to this Society, and publi shed in the Year Book of 1927, t herefore this paper will discuss only his part in the famous Pen insula r Campaign of 1862. After a winte r spent in preparation for an advance aga inst Richmond, General Geo. R. McClella«, the Federal Commander. finally received President Lincoln'. consent to carry out his plans for an attack on Rich­ mond, via the York and J ames Rivers. T he order for th is movement was signed March 8, 1862. General J oseph E. John ston, who was in command of the Confederate forces in Northern Virginia, had his headquarters at Centerv ille duri ng t he winter of 1861-62, where he harassed the Washington defenses. Considering his position too advanced and open to an attack on his right, on Ma rch 7th , General j ohnston withdrew to the south of the Rappahannock River, where he could bet ter protect Richmond from attack from any direct ion the Federals might decide to advance. General j ohn Bankhead Magruder, with a small force, had been on the lower Peninsula watching the Federal forces located at Fonrese Monroe. Realizing that an adva nce might be made up the Peninsula by way of Yorktown lind Williamsburg, he made a thorough st udy of t he country, and laid out th ree lines of defense. Ily March Iet the se defenses had been partia lly completed by the const ruction of ent rench­ ments, Iorts and dams. T he real line of defense was seven mile. below Yorktown at that point between where th e setting back of the Poquoein River from the York , and the mouths of the Warwick and Deep Creek on the j ames, contract the intervening solid ground to the short distance of three miles. " Both flanks of thi s line," reported General :\Iagruder, " were defended by boggy and difficult strea ms and swamps. In addition, t he left flank was defended by elabo rate fortificati ons at Ship Point, con­ nected by a brok en line of redoubts crossing the heads of t he narrow ravine•. In my opinion, thi s advanced line with its flank defenses might have been held with 20,lXX) troops. With 25,COJ I do not believe it could have been broken by any force t he enemy could have brought again st it." \Vhen his force was reduced by t ransfer of det achments to Suffolk and Portsmout h, Genera l Ma gruder aba ndoned his advanced line about March 1st, and fell back to his second line running from Yorktown on his left along the Warwick River to M ulberry Island, and the j ames upon the right. The th ird line was constructed in front of WilliamsburR. eleven miles farth er up the Peninsula, and proved of great value later in the campaign.

Gen eral McClellan landed at Fort ress Monroe on Ap ril 2nd, and immedia tely started th e advan ce wit h about 58,(J(X) troops, which General Magruder op posed with only 11,(J(X). T he Federal General WII aurp rieed when his troops .....ere stopped April Srh by the Confederat e defenses, and he was led to great ly overest imate their strength as a result of the plan s of Gener al Magruder, who reported, " Deeming it of vita l im­ portance to hold Yorkt own on York River and Mulberry Island on J amn River, until th e authorities might take such steps as should be deemed necesaa ry to meet a serious advance of the enemy on the Penin­ sula, I felt compelled to dispose my forces in such a mann er as to ac­ complish these objects with the least risk possible, unde r th e circumstan ces of great haza rd which surrounded the lit tle army I comma nded. " Learn ing that Mcljowell'e corps had been detained in Washingt on, and, th erefore, would not be ava ilable for flanking Yorkt own as he had planned , Genera l M cClellan prepa red to lay siege to th at place rat her th an attempt to break through th e Confederat e lines, which he believed very st rongly held as a result of General Magruder 's aC livity and show of str engt h.

M cClellan had been delayed fully a month by General Ma­ gruder's brilliant defense, and the Confede rate Go vernment gained t his greatly needed ti me to collect t roops for t he defense of Richmond . Colonel Henderson, in hi. Szollnlltlll J tldu tlll, says, "Magruder's bold stand was of infinite service to th e Confederate cause." Gene ral j ohnston assumed command of th e Confederate forces on the Peninsula about April 14th, and d irected th e withdrawal up the Penin­ sula. T he Battle of Williamsburg, which was th e result of the Federal efforts to stop the Confederate movement, failed to delay th e orderly retre at , and in t his battle the Confederat es used, to great ad van tage, the t hird line of defense. which General Magruder had constructe d. Some of these fort ifications are . till in existence. D uring the Battle of Seven Pines General Magruder commanded the division on the left cente r while Oe neral Longstreet and D. H. Hill made the attack on the Federal troops on th e south side of the Chickahominy River. When General Robert E. Lee ass umed command following t he Battle of Seven Pines, afte r J ohnsto n was wounded, th e Confederate anny con­ sisted of seven Di visions, one of which was commanded by Gene ral Magruder consist ing of six Brigades. General Lee', bold plan of turning McClellan right with J ackson's corps, gave the most importa nt min ion of defendi ng Richmond from a direct attack to General Magruder. Of t bi, assignment Col. Henderson says , "~fa gru d e r , th e same office r who so successfully imposed upon I>.l cClelian at Yorktown, was such a master of artifice t hat with 28,(J(X) men and th e reserve art illery, he might be " A WU ICA" C LA N G a.GOa SocltTT relied upon to hold Richmond unti l Porter had been d isposed at" Con­ cerning the min ion that had been given him of holding the Federal army which Lee and J ackson with molt of the Confederate force. were at­ tacking and attempti ng to turn , Genera l Magruder says, " I received inst ruction. enjoining the utmost vigilance. I passed the night without sleep. Had McClellan man ed hiBwhole force in column and advanced it againlt any point in our line of battle, though the head of his column would have suffered greatly, ita momentum would have insured him euccees and the occupation of our works about Richmond . and, conse­ quen tly, poeeeeejon of the city might have been his reward:' General A. S. Webb. of the Federal army, in his account of t he Peninsular cam­ paign, make. thi. statement concerning General Magruder's part in t he battle, " While the battle of Gaines's M ill was in progress, the enemy', force-25,M st rong-under Mag ruder, by a euccessicn of feints, ad­ vanced along different portions of the Union line south of the Chicka· homin y. Furious outbursts of art illery fire, and a resort to every device known which could lead to the belief that an attack in force was Imml­ aent, so engaged the Union General s th at when they were appea led to for reinforcements for Porter, General Franklin answered, " I do not think it prud ent to send any more troops from here at pre sent. ' After the victory of Gaines'! M ill General Lee for several days was undecided in which direction McClellan would retreat, and General Magruder and Huger, who were dire cted to watch the enemy in their front and report any signs of movement, have been much criticised for their failure to d iscover McClellan's retreat earlier. General Sir Frederick Maur ice makes the following statement in his recent edition of Colonel Charles l\farshal1'. papers : "This criticism must now be tempered by the knowledge acquired during th e World War of the ease wit h which t roops can be withdrawn unobserved from behind entrenchments ." General Lee immediately ordered a vigorous pursuit of the retirin g Federals. General Magruder came upo n the rear guard of the enemy nca r Savage Station. He mistook the resistance that he met for a re­ newal of the enemy', movement against Richmond, and, therefore, sent to Huger on his right for reinforcements which, according to Colonel Marshall, delayed the pursuit and resulted in General Lee that night writin g General Magruder as follows: "General, I much regret tbat you have made so little progreu toda y in th e pursuit of t he enemy. In ord er to reap the fruita of our victory the pursuit should be malt vigorous. I must urge you, then , again to pre.1 on hi, rear, rap idly and steadily. \Ve mull lose no more ti me or he win escape u. entirely." General Sir M aurice in explanat ion, say., that Magruder, who expected J acklOn to come upon hi. left flank, only attacked with two brigades and two battalions of another, againll Sumner's army corps and was nat urally repul sed. At th e Battle. of White Oak Swamp and Fra yzer'. Farm, General Magruder', force did not take an active part, as he could not get into pot ition in tim e, due to di ffi cult y in traversing the count ry in his front, which was heavily wooded and without adequate roads.

Wh ee McClellan succeeded in ret iring to Malvern Hill, General Lee ordered a general attack upon this strong position. General Magruder was on the right. and his men made t he moat famous charge of t hat .- terrible da y, according to Webb, who say., " AI Magruder got his men in place. the fire from our batteries was intense. His plan was to put 15,000 men in line and charge the batteries and supporting infantry, to follow up success with fresh t roops, and, if repu lsed, to hold the line where he then was on the hill. His caution as to repu lse was one th at did credit to hi, military sagaci ty, and Waf fully justified by events." His men advanced bravely all along the line, but recoiled from t he te rrible rain of missilee from t he heavy guns located both on the hill and on t he gunboats in the river, The Confederat e lon es were 60 grea t that they were forced to give up the attempt to destroy McClellan's army, but during the night the Federals reti red down the rive r to Harri llOn 's Land­ ing. Thus ended the great ad vance on Richmond. Upon the reorganization of t he Con federa te forces General ~la g rud er was transferred to T exas, where he cont inued the brilliant milita ry record, and added add itional fame to his name.

A MARYLAND EXODUS

By N ELLIE \VAI LES BRANDON, MISSISSIPPI A chance remark between two motorists purring along a highwa y of sufficiently recent construction to carry a lingering regret for th e de­ str uction of the pictu resqueness of the ancient roadwa y, led to an in­ terestin g tr ain of thought, and while their car traveled along in the leisurely way suitable to a couple midway between t he vanishing and th e coming generation, their minds traveled ba ck to a time when this commu nity was full of the charm of the old-time social life. T his was the " Maryland settlement in Mississippi" beginning in Adams Count y, runnin g through J efferson and into Claiborne. The pilot of th e car turned to his companion and said, " J ust why was it tha t so many Maryland people came to this especial locality?" We had never thought before to inquire. It was a fact accepted without investigation, but it might mak e a fascinating tour through the past to seek for the answer. Wh at mak es an exodus of any sort? Either unsati sfactory conditions at the source, or th e promise and lure of some great adva ntage at the end. It requires a degree of courage and det ermination to turn one's back upon an environment of set tled and familiar conditions, family conne ctions and tried friend s, and face new and strange demands for which we have had no experience to fit us. Wh at was thi s appeal th at could tempt so many (largely from southern Prin ce George's) to make so great a sacrifice as was necessary to reach so distant a spot in Missis­ sippi, and cast their lot in a new country, from which, few, if any , ever revisit ed t heir native State? Was it that Ma ryland's staple crop, to­ bacco, had reached so Iow an ebb th at some radical change was necessary, or that Mi ssissippi's sta ple crop, cotton, offered such glowing prospects? In search for th e answer reference has been had to some old correspond­ ence, which, if it does not entirely solve the prob lem, gives us many interesting and instructive glimpses of th e life of th e times, of courage, chara cter and resource, and serves to make those of us who arc in th e hab it of dwelling on the " good old times" wonder if we of the present are buildin g on so sure a foundation as those sturdy old forebears, and if we are being tru e to the trust th ey left us. In the migrati on to Mississippi was a large contingent of Ma grud ers, and we cannot but feel th at the new country was the better for their having passed thi s way. Whatever the moti ve, some came and others followed. Th ey seem to have mostly pursued the same route, by land to Hagerstown, Md., Han cock T own, Pittsbur g and Wheelin g, seeking the Ohio River, sometimes arri ving to find the wate r so low as to necessi­ tate the alternative of an entire land tri p through what was practi cally a trackless forest-without roads or brid ges, and few, if any, ferries , and with the menace of Indians added to th e handicaps of nature. Some excerps from thi s old correspondence will tell the talc in part, and leave us filled with regret that so little has survived. Early in the P ROC EEI>INQS O F TWENTy-FIRST ANNUAl. G " T Il ER I NG 31 escdus came J ames T rueman ~la gru d er, previously a sea capta in, and the master of a merchant vessel plying bet ween Philadelphia and London. His brother, Hazekiah Bussey Magruder, was also a sea captain, com­ manding a vessel called the NtuJ l ndlu try, and both had tra ined many of the younge r generation in navigation. What could have tempted thi s seafaring man, J as. T . Magruder, to resign hit life'l vocat ion and join the first of Maryland's emig rants to Mississippi? A tradition says that he came in his sailing vessel to New Orleans, where he disposed of the boat . He lived in Washington, then the ca pitol of Mississippi T errito ry, for a coup le of yea rs before going ten miles further into J efferson Coun ty, where he purchased a plantat ion which he called ~lou nt Ararat, and settled down to t ill t he soil. However th is may be, we find from letters of Leonard Covington th at J ames T rueman Magruder, J r., came by land wit h his eouain, Aleu nder Covington, in 1808. But let us leave off gueuing and quote from these old letters.

EXT RACTS FRO~ I LETT ERS WRITTENBY SOME MAGRUD£RS INARKANSAS AND MISSISSIPPJ

B y H ELEN WOLFE, W ASHINGTON, D .C .

The following extracu are culled from leu era of &On l and daughters of Lloyd M agrud er, IOn of Major Samuel Wade ~ f ag ruder . of Mont­ gomery County, Md., written to th eir brot her. Thomas Contee Magruder, of Washington, D. C.• from 1841 to 1860. T he desire to better their fortune" and the pre sence in ~.f i Bli 8l ip pi of th eir etep-eieter, Eliza Lloyd Magruder, and her relat ives, descendanta of Alexander, th e second IO n of Alcnnder the emigrant, seem to ha ve in fl uenced these MagrudcfI in their migration. The fi rst lette r in 1841 is from Charles Brooke Magruder, in Little Rock, ATkan.at. By th at time he wu alli!ta nt cashier in the State Bank. Later he i, in Batesville, Arkansu, married to Isabel Ann Pelh am and on a plantation. lie died in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Eliza Lloyd M agruder made her home with Mrs. Olivia Dunbar, her mother's sister, at "Arundo," M iss. There she died 1876. Lloyd Magruder joined his broth er Charles in Batesville, where he studied law with Judge Baker, and where he, at first, followed th e pro­ Ieeslcn of surveyor. H e ma rried Caroline Pelham, sister of Ch arles' wife. Later he went to California and Id aho. He was murdered for his money in Montan a in 1863 by road agents as be was returning from a eucceeeful expedition to Virginia City. Ann Holmes Magruder, coming out on invitation of Cha rles, remained II wife of J udge T homas Johnson, of Little Rock. Art hur and William Ogden Chappell Magruder followed their broth er s; but both died shortly after arrival, unmarried. John ta rried awhile; went to Californ ia in 184-9, where he died in 1853. Mary C. H. M agrud er and her husba nd, J ohn A. Carter, lived in Bate... ville and Vidalia, La.; but they, with Lucy and Rebecca J ohn son Ma ­ grud er, returned to Mont gomery County, Md. T hese letters tra veled before the da ys of air-ma il, and took from eightee n to th irt y-eight days in tr ansit. The people then were letter-writers. I doubt if many college graduates of toda y could do any better. One correspo ndent rema rks: " If I ha ve been guilty of egregious neglect please forgive." In regard to fami ly matter. in 1841, Charles hopes his sister Ann will return with Gov. Fulton in th e spring. Further he says: " I have written Gov. Fulton, Col, Sevier, and J udge Cross in regard to ap pointment . t Nav y or Army Academ y for Lloyd." In 1842 Charles regrets be is un­ able to send mon ey requested for auistan ce of his brother-in-law, John A. Carter ; but he says : " I hope every exertion will be made to raise money sooner th an th e homeplace should go out of the family." This was Locu st Grove, Montgomery County, !\Id., which was sold in th at generation. Charles says, " I am short of fund s as th e Bank pays it . officcrs in general currency of the count ry, and that Arkan sas paper i, most depreciated."

On ~ 1 ay 22, 1843, Ch arles announces his engageme nt to !\li n Pelham, daught er of Col. C. H. Pelham, of Batesville, Ar kansas; and in J uly, 18H , he is residing in Batesville, and urging John A. Carter to come as th ere is a goodopening for a Democratic lawyer. Oct. 25, 1845, he writes: " I have finished acwing twenty-two bushels of wheat . It is up and looks finely. 1 shall not attempt corn nelt season , as 1 can pu rchase cheape r t han raise it. I have bought eight hundred bush els in the field thi s year at ten cents a bushel. I have put up for fattenin g 26 fine hogs, and I have a fine lot of shoats. 1 have 20 head of earrle, four fine mares and a lot of sheep." Lloyd is in Bate sville by this t ime, bu t has gone on surveying ex­ pedition to the woods.Lat er, J an. 9, IiH6 Lloyd writes "Brother and sister ha ve been lucky in t he way of Chri stmas gifts-they have a fine boy, Cha rles Pelham ~fa grud er . " Lloyd is glad hi~ brother-In-law, Joh n A. Carter, would ata rt south after th e break of ice in the Ohio. M ar ch 22, 1849, Ann writes tha t 1.I0yd and Dr. Pelh am expect to leave for California th e following Mond ay. Lloyd's out fit cost t hree hu ndred dollars and Sister Ann made him three pairs of pa nt aloons and two coats. On Nov. 24, 1849, more of the family have arrived at Batesville. Ann rejoices at the safe arriva l of ou r friends and says: "Ogden was u t remdy ill at Napoleon. Dr. Kirkwood here t hinks his hea rt is affected. T he week they got here Conference was sitt ing in Batesville. We heard T uesday night th ey were at J acksonport. but th ey did not arrive until Th ursday mom ing-only thirt y miles. The horses were so miserable th ey could not get along. The servants stai d one night in the woods and they all took colds." " It coat M r. Carter almost as much to come from New Orleans here as it did to get th ere. The river is too low for any boats to get further than J acksonport . They suffered greatly from sea-sickness, and had a severe storm off Cape H atteras." " T here are a great many persons moving to this Country this fall. Almost eve ry day you see five or siJ. wagons pass. T he day M r. Ca rter got here thirteen passed thru town on t heir way to Izzard County. " "We all dined on Monday at Co lonel Pelham's. Eight preachers were there, six of whom sta id all during Conference." " Ann sits up all night wit h ~ I rs . Zollichaffer, who died BOOn afte r, leaving a IOn nine da ys old. T he family will return to Baltimore in t he spring. Ann sends thanks for artieles for a fair; and wishes some of her friends would stop in at the fair just to see what we Racken sackers can do." J an. 24, 1855, our fait hful let ter write r Ann writes: " There was a boat up last week, th e first since last spring. Provisions are quite high­ $10.50 for flour and corn is 75c a bushel"---Quite a jump since 1845. Ann thinks well of her town, saying: "Batesville is not 80 far behind t he times, when I tell you that there are two music teachers, t hree French, one German, one It alian and three quite large schools-quite smart for us out in the back woods."

In 1855, " T here i! qui te a mania for moving to T exas; t he crepe having failed 10 the last yea r or two, per!iOnl are becoming discou raged." Novembe r, 1855,J ohn A. Carter has th e Califom ia feve r and urges Thomas to join him. In the end neithe r went. Lucy Beall had chilla and Ievers; but ehe took plenty of quinine and red pepper and a bitten of wild cherry, dogwood and whiskey. Social life was enjoyed , and even then th e young people did not come home unti l daybreak. Charle, write s from Lit tle Rock: " I a ttended a very pleasant party taat eve ning at Col. Ashley's. He has a da ughte r j ust retumed from school-quite pretty and very agreeable with a few hundred thousands of dollan to decorate a you ng man', pocke t should he have sufficient charm to gain her good will." f rom Aru ndo, Eliaa Lloyd ~b grude r : " I was at t he wedding of t he beauty of the county last Wednetd ay evening. I never was in quite auch a squeeze. There was about 200 person s there. They have a large house with front and back galleries above and below. Both of the uppe r galleries were enclosed with cotton bagging. T he meat t able wae set the whole length of one and t he desert table of the ot her. Aunt Olivia D unbar, M rs. J o Shielda and I and our escorts left at one o'clock. The young folks remained and danced till daylight." Lucy', description of th e plant a.tion of M r. J oseph D unbar is in­ tereering-e-" It would do you good to ace how thing1 are managed both on far m and in the house. I never saw such syatem; there arc ten women and three men about the house and ya rd, who never go out in th e crops. They are always employed-no idle bread eaten here. They look t idy in their dress, pleasa nt and are very respectful. I have not teen an angry person since I have been here . Aunt Olivia has a first-rate overseer, a Mary'lander , M r. Ireland from Calvert County. She gives him a th ousand dollan, th inking she had better give him this th an an ord inary man th ree hundred." " The da rk iea have been very busy all day prepa ring for a frolic; there is to be a wedd ing among them tonight," Uncle Dunbar makes tri ps to Na tchez and New Orlean s. Again a letter waa sent when man went to Na tchez for Uncle Dunbar. In De­ cembe r the hyacinth! have been blooming a week. I n April t rees are in full foliage and long mon ha ngs from trees.

" Aunt I.avinia says she feels a great nea rness to all of Lloyd Magrud er's children, th at he felt like a brother. She looks very unlike Aunt D unbar. T he young lad ies make numerous visits including one at home of Mr. Kerr, the minister. Many friend s are entertained at Arundo-th e two M rs. Archen and M in Archer, ~ Ir. and M rs. Johnsto n.

We have a most delightfu l preacher in this neighborhood- a vcry pious man. Again "Our minister gave us a meet excellent sermon yes­ terday from the Siuh Chapter and Tenth Verse of Daniel." T hen "The Rev. ~ Ir. D rake died very suddenly last week. He was one of the brightest Christians that I have ever known." Politics were among other th ings discussed. I n ISH we are told, " Politica l excite ment is well subsided by th is ti me. I hope the Mar y­ landers have not acted quite as imprudently as eome of the Mi n ippians. T ennesseans and Louisiannians-.ell t heir propert y to be paid for when Clay was elected," From Little Rock "The Whigs are calculating very largel y on a great majority of t he Sta tes going for Clay in the coming election ; but I cannot believe Clay can ever be President of this glorious Republic." j an., 18·H, " The Know Nothings are carrying everything before them in the legislature. They are not publicly known as such. Col. Noland told us old Mr. Creece would be turned out of office, because he is an Englishman by birth. He has been in th is St ate nearly twenty years and before that in Alexandria." T he weather is not overlooked in these leu cre:" Dec. 14, 18H , Aunt Olivia and I rode out without bonnets or ehawls two weeks ago, t hen it grew cold and there has been frost every mornin g-the finest spell for curing meat. Uncle Dunbar killed a hundred hogs since this da y week". • J uly 18, 18H. one writer Ieare: " Our sta te will become very sickly th is season owning to t he very high wate rs last spring." J an. 1855, " a slight encw fell and I had J ar rett sweep some off the nort h side of the house and froze a custard." An ite m of newa from Arundo, " T here was one of the most da ring acts occured within a half mile of thi s place on the last night of J anua ry. ~ lr.

T he instant his master saw him, he knew he could not be deceived.c-his countenan ce betrayed him." News from home was most welcome. Charles " perceives from the Intelligencer that W. S. Gaither ia one of the electors for President. I euppcee he owes his rise to the influence of his father." Eliza in 1846 wants to know "who is the widower th at visits Locust Grove 10 sociably. I cannot th ink of anyone in the neighborhood excep t J ack J anel ." Eliza mentions Ellin 7.oe'. aafe arrival; receipt of a long letter from Mn . ~lunc as t e r; sends her love to the families of ~ l r . HarrilOn and Mr. Robinson. In 18+9 she feels sorry to hear of poor Walter Mun­ caster's deat h, adding : " It struck me as a singular coincidence th at he and T homas Neale should be taken at the sa me time ." Remem­ brances are sent to Mr. Young' s and Mr. Walker' s family. In 1860 " Cousin E. wlltson leaves \Vednesday for Maryland." Inq uiry is made for )"fr. Chappell and Dr. Wootton.

ADDRESS AT SAINT PAUL'SCHU RCH, OCfQBER 17, 1930. R EV. C HARLE S E. CIlUSOE, D. D., RECTOR ST. P AUL'S E PI SCOPAL C HU lI.eR ( BADEN ) , M AII.YLAND

For the past t wenty-five years popular attention has been directed • toward America n antiques, and seldom a week paeeee but that we in thi s section of the count ry are tormented by ant ique hun ters , commercial and otherwise, urging us to "set a price on " whatever artide of antiquity we may hap pen to poesees. T he mine of old furniture haa been discovered , the charm of eolonlal life ha s been visioned, and those with the means are determined to get hold of early American pieces regard less of cost. It has seemed to us strange as we have apprecia ted our privilege' of ministering in several of the old country churches here in Maryland and in Virginia, that t he early American churches have received 10 little popular attention. Leu elabo rate it ia true-harde r to get to than the more recent and costly churches of the cities, nevertheless they abound in beauty, tradi­ tion and romance. In a few case. the growth of the country has brought some one old church into the center of a more or less modem community, such as Christ Church , Alexandri a; or old Pohick or Bruton Churches, bu t they are few in number and the true condition of most of the old churches i& indeed quite pitiful, Speak ing from our own condition in this parish, the run-down appear­ ance of the average rur al chur ch is no reflection upon the loyalt y of its people, for we are proud of this old church, and we mainta in i[ to the limit of our means and ability. But families move away, and the younger generat ion goes off to the city in search of employment, and those who remain behind grow leIS P r.O'UDlff GS 01' Twul'Ty -FIUT A lfNV4L G4TUr:r.ING " able to maintain the oute r fab ric: of that which they love &0 much-c. their old parish church. The time is not far dista nt we believe when, with the help of euch organiutions as that meeting with us today, these old historic churches will be in a better atate of repair, and will amply repay their generous friends by opening up their wealth of ant iquity and charm. To read the true story of thi s community as a pan of an American colony, one would find upon investigat ion a feeling of a religion be­ queat hed from th e Reformation. Few ot her churches were built in this section of Maryland save t hose of the Church of England, although this W2S not forma lly esta blished until 1692. Pri or to thi s t ime, a few brick buildings had been erected here and there to replace the first log buildings used as churches, although after the Estab lishment, many churches were huilt in the thirty parishes. Taking up some of the interesti ng fact i concerning thi s old church, from our parish record. and early historiel of ~ fa ryl a nd , we learn that each family man was compelled to pay a tal: of 40 pounds of toba cco for the building and maintenance of the parish church, regu dles8 of whethe r he liked it or not , or whet her he was a Catholic or a Protesta nt. At that time a pound of toba cco was wort h about 3 pence, 6 cent s in our present money ; but in 1732 it became legal tender at a penny a pound. This present building without its additions in 1793- about 100 years after the lint part was conerructed-c-cost about 85,00 lbs. of tobacco, or abou t $5,100 because St. I' .a ul' s Parish was at one time t he richest parish in the whole State of Maryland. As the populat ion in thi s community grew, the original church was enlarged as it now stands in 1793, and th e seating capacity of the old boxed pews grew from 100 including the gallery to some 250 as at present . In th is original church, as in all of the early churches, the chan cel was in the east where now you may see the Bishop Clagget t Memorial Win­ dow which was installed in 1852. The church ent rance was in the west end with probably another in the south, as we gather from the early parish records. One may yet see with careful observation, showing t hrough the plas, tered wall on the north, two d osed doorwa ys which originally opened into two robing rooms-c-one for t he priest and another for t he parish clerk or au isunt minister. A student of ant iquities is oftent imes amu sed by traditionary tales handed down by inhabitants who have had them handed down to them by thei r ancestors, and in no place are the y more wearisome than when visiting some of our older churches. "These bricks were brought from England, " one tette you as he recites the early tradition of the erection of his church; "Geo. Washington was baptized in that font" anothe r tells you as he points with pride to a discolored and nicked piece of marble in the front of the old ch urch; while anothe r solemnly declares tha t " our communion vessels were a present from Queen Anne." But as a matter of fact the greater percentage of brick bu ilded into " AW U .le ,,"K CLA M G .. aCOk SocIITY t hese old churches was burned on the church premises; while Geo. Wath ~ ington would have bee n a muchly baptized baby and Queen Anne far more religious th an histo ry even ehcwe her to have been, if all old tr adi­ tiona were tru e. Still there are exceptions to every rule, aren't there] And we claim to be euch an exception in many wa y. for we have bOlh our pa rish reco rds, an d th e professional op inion of one of En gland ', foremost au thorirlee on old English Churches. This English friend, on a recent t rip to America, journeyed down from Roston for a viait, and to give UI his professional opinion conce rning numerous th ings in and about this old church . Both the pa riah records and th e expert opinion of our friend u sures UI t hat the origina l chu rch was bu ilt with brick brought over in the hold of sailing vends as ba llast, T hese an d many other interesting faCII are brought out in the little booklet we have recently published under the title of " As it was, etc." In the earl y da YI that gallery in the South was located ove r th e door th ere in th e \Velt from where it was removed in 1793 to ill present location. A vestry record of 17H shows that in the drawing of loti for the selection of pews in the gallery , th at each pew W lI rented for, and a deed W I! given for one yea r at the rate of JU S per pew. T radition in most old churches is to the effect that the gallery was alwaYI bu ilt for the slave s, but the record s of this pa rish show that the gallery wu a favorite place in which to sit , and at tim es probably slumber in peace, or provide a good chance for th e younger fol k. to hold hand s unseen by those in au thority. From the lirst known prlest-ln-c ha rge of th ill pa rish in 1682 the na me and length of office of every clergyman ill set down in the book let I have just mentioned . And th e first vest ry as recorded in t he reco rd of 1693 contains th e name of one to be found on th at tablet-Samuel ~ la Rru de r, while aubeequent records show the names of quite a few of th e M agruder cla n, as well as of ot her prominent families still represented in thi s parish, and in thi s present congregation. Wh ile we make no claim t hat Oeo. W ashington was ba pt ized in that old font , a vestry record IhoWI th at it was bought in E ngland in 1752. The Eng lish expert gives as his opinion tha t it came origina lly from Italy, and is much older tha n t his original chu rch. Queen Anne did not give us our com mun ion vessels, but they date from King George th e Fir at, near ly 100 yean be fore An ne'l time, and the va lue of $10,000 has been set upon t he Paten and Ch alice by an em inent authority. Our Bible was printed by His M ajestY'1 command in 1739 at a cost of two pounds and eight ahillinga. The hanging sun-dia l, brought from England and installed in the fron t of the bui lding in 1753, was the com mun ity time piece. This is the only church in American which is so adorned. " Strange, indeed. that churches like t his one are ever neglected, and the fact that at least one each yea r is burned or destroyed is a lad com­ menta ry upon the ti mes.

Mas. MARY ANNGRAY SILVER

B y G RA Y S I LVER, W E ST VU.CI NI" M rs. M ary Ann G ray Silver died at the home of her IOn, Gray Silver. Ma rtin sburg, Welt Virginia. on J uly 20, 1930, after a long iIInen , in the eighty-ninth yea r of her life. Mrs. Silver's was a remarkable life.In her life's span of not q uite eighty-nine yean, she had watched everyday life change fro m primitive early sett ler days to mod ern civilization. Bor n fou r yean after the first railroad was laid th rough this country, she eaw as a young girl th e in­ troduct ion of the first family coach (her father was the pu rchaser of that coach) to supersede horse and wagon as a means of transportation; as a woman, the growt h of th e railroad; of good road s for traffic; as an older woma n the develop ment of au tomob iles, which she enjoyed very much, and of airp lanes in which she was grea tly interested. She remembered distin ctly four wars: the ~ [ ex i can war in ISH to which her uncle David \\'ardrop Gray went as a lieutenant never to return ; the War betwe en States, in which both her fath er and husband served as officers; the Spa nish American War, in which a daughter nu rsed th e ill and wou nded soldiers; and th e World \Var, in which her son served his country in man y civil cap acities. Me•. Silver W al bom Decembe r 19, IS-II, at the Gray family home. stead, which had been founded by her grandfather, j ohn Gray, a Scotch­ man from Fjfeahire. This home was near Ge rardstown, Berkeley Co unty, and there ehe grew up and resided until her marriage. She was th e eldest daughter of Captain j ameR William Gra y, C. S. A., and hil wife, ~fa rt h a J ane Gilbert. She was ed ucated by private tutors, in the private schools of the County, and at the Valley Female I nst itute, a forerunner of Fairfax Hall, of Winchester, Va. T his school was conducted by the Rev. SiI.. Billings and his two daughters, th e )' lilK'S Mar y and Cor nelia BillingR of beloved memory. Three of M rs. Silver's daughters were educated in thi s la me school. She and her sister J ane attended thi s school about two and a half yean when typhoid fever claimed the life of the younge r sister and ab ruptly ended school da ys for the elde r sister, as a devot ed father hesitated to return thil daughter to an endangered en­ vironment. Later, about 1852, Mary au isk'd her father during the years of hi, membership in the Virginia Legislature. Ca pta in Gray's eyesight failed during th is time, and as his secretary (Mrs. Silver always laid ame nuen­ sis) his daughter was ca lled upon to attend to much of his work, and became widely acquainted with th e leaders of public life in the stirring day. ju st before th e War. Captain Gray was a war m adherent of the Southem cause, and a leader in his section; consequently he and his so AlI U ICAIf C u." GUCOI. SocU:TT

family frequentl y euflered for hi, loyalty to the cause he believed right. Mrs. Silver had vivid recollections of the invasion of her father', home by Federal soldiers, the burn ing of barn . and other buildings, the taking of the Ian loaf of bread from the big dutch oven on the hillside. th e hiding of her beautiful and beloved riding hon e, and most especially, of the picketing of the home by these Federal troops to prevent the father', return, and th e flight to pointa farther south. M n . Silver wae a great reader and a most interesting conversat ionalist with a keen eenee of humor and a remarkable memory . lI er faculties remained intact and her interest in current eveme continued to the end . T hese attributes, together with her store of memories of earlier days and her lu nch charact er, made her a host of friends among the youn ger generation, as well as the olde r people of Berkley County. She was a bright and happy Christ ian. Never once did her faith fail. T ruly she loved the Kingdom of her Lord and delighted to worship the Lord with her substance. M u . Silver W al of slight physique and very quiet and unassumin g. A friend of t he family writing to a daughter after her passing, said, "Your mother W al always to me the ideal little lady-c-eo quiet and composed-e-ehe had a most alert mind and charming personality." In 1868 Ma ry Ann Gray was wedded to Francis Silver, Jrd., of White Hall, Frederick County, Virginia, where the Silver famil y had lived for three generat ions. They made their home in White Hall for several '. yean and th e eon, G ray, and the da ughter Mart ha were born there. Later the family moved to Berkley, the county of '-frs. Silver's nativit y, and made their home at Silver Hill Farms, near Gerardstown, where the younger children were bom and grew to maturity, and where Colonel Silver died in 188S. M rs. Silver reared the famil y of five children-a eon havin g died in infancy. And in the latter years of her life she came to live with her IOn, Gray Silver, in Martlneburg. She leaves five child ren: G ray Silver and M art ha J.Silver, in Mar­ tinlburgj Mu. J .W. Stuart Boyd, Washington ; "'fu. leiter Chenoweth Hoffman, Bunker Hill,W. Va.; and Mrs. Louis Feuilleteau Harper, Winchester, Va. Funeral services were held at the home, followed by graveside services at the Presbyterian Church Cemet ery, Gerardstown. D r. John B. Bittinger offi ciated. M n . Silver wu the oldest living member of the Gerard stown Presbyterian Church at the time of her death. " An honored life, a peaceful end, And Heaven to crown it all."

Fire and sword, fines, imprisonment and death filled the cup of fury for t he un­ happy Scott, and the G rays shared the fort unes of their compa rriots. In t he latter part of 1765, David and J ohn Gray joined their Unc:le William Gray in America . They came tint to Alexandria, thence into the Shenandoah Valle}', settling in what is now Berkeley and J efferson Counties, West Virginia. David and J ohn both served with StephC'n!lOn's Riflemen in the American Revolution.

And, more t han any­ t hing else, in her father's home where high ideals, st udy of history and litera ture, and the t raditions of a fine race were always adhe red to. Here it was that she met John Spencer Bukey, of a prominent pioneer family of West Virginia. They were married at Williamstown, \Vest Virginia, August, 1868, where her father had his home at t hat t ime. Several children were hom to them, but only two survived infancy. Virginia Bukey, born March, 1871, and died at Vienna, Fairfax Coun ty, Virginia,J uly 29, 1900, and Benton 1\1. Buker , horn Nov. 6, 1879, now of Chicago. After moving to Fairfax County, Virginia in 1885, she became inter­ ested in genealogical work, and later in the D. A. R.She was also a deep student of philosophy and political economy. Mrs. Bukey always took an active part in the religious and intellect ual welfare of her community. She and her husband were active in the establishment of the Episcopal Chur ch of t he Holy Comforter in Vienna, Virginia. She was also inte rested in d ub work, and was for some time president of a woman's organizat ion which did important work in her commun ity. Mrs. Bukey was a member of the D. A. R. of the District of Columb ia, before t he organization of Clan Gregor, of which she was a cha rte r mem­ ber. After its organization she conceived the idea of a Magruder Chapter in the D. A. R. which she organ ized and of which he was regent for several years. Later she withdrew from the Magruder Chapter, and with a number of friends, organ ized the Captain J oseph !\lagruder Chap ter,D. A. R., the Chapter being named for her grea t-grandfather, Captain J oseph Magruder, who served wit h the Maryland troops during the Revolu­ tionary War. She served on a number of important committees of t he D. A. R. in the District of Columbia. Contemporary with her work in the D. A. R., she was active in gene. alogical work, and by invitation became a member of other patriotic organizations, including T he Daughters of War of 1812, Dames of the Loyal Legion, Colonial Dames, Patriots and Founders, Virginia His­ torical Society, and several other similar societies. During the \Vorld War, alth ough nearly seventy years of age, she worked many long hours under Red Cross direction, and received the Red CroBS Medal as one of the many devoted women who gave their time unstint ingly to this work. On October 19, 1919, her beloved husband for fifty years passed away, and from that time she failed rapidly until she was no longer able to carry on the patriotic work she so dea rly loved, and during the last 6ix years of her life she required constant nursing care, which was provided 54 AM& J.ICAlf CLAM GJ..GOa Socn:Tl' for her by her devoted IOn at Riggs Sanitorium at Ijamsville,Frederick County, Maryland, where the died on 1\ lay 17, 1930, in her eightieth yea r.

ANNIE REEDHILL GEDDES

By S USIE MAY GEDDES VAN DEN B EI.G, \VA8H INGTON, D. C. Well do I remember my mother telling me in these linea, of her tender, wat chful care: Who ran to help me when I fell, And would some pretty sto ry tell; Or kiss the place to make it welH My Mot her. She was full of poetry and quotations which she used quite lavishly . This charming habit W al an index to her character and to her high ideals- for th ings spiritual played a leading and definite part in her life. Born in a roman tic age, on a large planta tion, with a long line of good people behind her-an ancestry free from any th ing sordid or demea ning­ Ann ie Reed Hill came into this world under a bright star. T he second child of a young and gracious mother and an indulgent father; surrounded by adoring servitors and devoted ly attended by ?\lammy Nelly, no wonder there was mysticism and romanticism in her characte r. This etherial side, however, was more than coun terbalanced by her most dominan t characterist ic-that of a strict sense of duty-a sense she carried into every pha se of her d aily experience. She W al a devoted dau ghter, a sympathet ic and understan ding wife' , a mother always ready for eelf-aacrifice, and a trusted and respect ed neighbor and friend. Edu cated in the Visitation Convent in Frederick, Maryland, ehe was graduat ed at the age of _ixteen wit h high honors as her "premiums" attest. She' was an accompl ished and pleasing pianist, and was freque ntly called upon to entertain , wit h her music, distinguished vi5itors at the Convent. Ax x u; 1{ ~: ~: fI 11 11 .1 . .I." "':_

Had college education been available in her day, I am sure she would have chosen a career. T he War between the States, with its devastating results to slave owners, wae being waged during her two laet yea rs at school, and she returned after gradua tion to a changed condition, but with little difference outwardly, as her father had old and devoted slaves who refused to leave him, and to whom he deeded quarte rs for their life time. On t he 6th day of J uly, 1869, at the age of 22, she married Ch arles Wright Geddes, my father, only son of Robert Geddes of t he Eastern Shore, and Susa n Scott Matlack, of Balt imore County. lI ere her ro­ mantici sm again asserted itself for her husband was doub le her age, a naval officer (resigned), who had won her, as did Othello, the gentle Desdemona, hy his ta les of adventure on the sea and experiences in foreign,courts at which he had been presented. Their married life of more than 30 years was tranquil and happy. Of their union nine children were hom: Susan Mary, Isabelle Hill, Charles Walter,Rosalind Wright, Maric T ravilla, Annie Virginia, Robert William,Helen T homas and Mildr ed E mily, all of whom survived her. h has been to me a source of deep gratitude tha t she was spared t he grief of t he loss of either husband or child. Annie Reed Hill was born in t he family home, Glenway-the home­ stead on the origina l land grant from the E nglish Crown--on December 5, 1847, the second child of William Wilson Hill and Mary T homas Magruder Hill.

By ~1A9EL ~ 1AG RUD E It PERM E NTE R, F LOR IDA George Mitchell " la gruder was born on a farm seven miles from Quit. man, Georgia, on October 22, 1863. His father was j oseph Alva Magrud er who ma rried, fin t, Ann Edwards by whom he had two children: j ohn Archibald who died in T eaae, and Emma who married William Hunter who died at Ovieda, Florida , in 1878. j oseph Alva Magruder's second wife, Laura Estelle (Hunter) Gaulden, to whom he was married October 20, 1862, was a widow with two children, Eugene Scriven Gaulden, who died at Eugene, Fla., j une, 1927, and j ulia Gaulden who mar ried George Brown and lived at Ovieda, Fla. By his second marriage, j oseph Alva Magruder had two boys, George Mitchell, my father, and Edward Lee Magruder who lives at Bainbridge, Gtorgia. It was in 1873 th at the family came to Florida to live and took up a homestead at Ovleda, in Orange County, where they planted an orange grove. T hey were among the pioneer orange growers in the famoua Indian River section. j oseph Alva Magruder and his wife, Laura Estelle, are bot h buried in Hunt er Cemetery in Quitman, Georgia. George Mitchell was ten years old when his family left Georgia. At the age of seventeen, with his mother's consent, he left home and lived with a widow and her sona in an adjoining county . T his fin t winter the boys contracted with a saw mill to furnish them with logs. While at t his work, he met a surveyor with whom he became grea t friends. I wish I knew tha t man's name but the only record that I have of him is a small picture taken in a buggy with one of his race horses, of which he was very fond.

Recognizing in George Mit chell a desire to be independent and develop himself, he brough t him to J ack­ sonville where he soon found work at Merrill-Stevens machinery shop, which was at th at ti me a small blacksmith and machine shop on the banks of the river. lIere he served his apprent iceship of four years and learned to love machinery. At the age of t wenty-o ne he got his engineer' s license. For a few yean he was on boau up and down t he St. J ohns River. His fint boat was t he " Twi light," then t he " ~ f e r maid ," running be­ tween J acksonville and Mayport, and later a boat belonging to the Beach & Miller Line, running between J acksonville and Sanford. At abo ut the age of twenty-seven years, after hard study, he received his mariner's license and left the river boa ts for a position with the Plant Line. He was chief engineer on the S. S. Ma rgaret, and then on the S. S. T arpon, running between T ampa and Mobile. In 1896 t he Plant Steamship Line built the S. S. La Gra nde Duchess, which Wal at that ti me, the largest and finest coastwise steamer in the world, and my father, George Mitchell, Wal transferred to her as first assistant engineer. After the first t rip between Sava nnah and New York, Mr. Devlin, the chief engineer, was taken sick and, after an illness of several months, died. During tha t period my fath er W al acting chief. At Mr. Devlin' s deat h he was appointed chief engineer which position he held until t he death of Henry E. Plant in 1899. At t his t ime he went with th e American-Hawaiian Steamship Com­ pany to become chief engineer 0 the S. S. Nebraskan, but after a con­ venation with t he chid engineer of t he Line, M r. Lasso, he was made assistan t superintendent engineer for t he Line. During t he Spanish-American War, he wu temporarily transferred to a transport running bet ween Charleston and Havana, Cuba, and was in Havana when the Battleship Maine was blown up. In October of 1906 he was sent to San Fra ncisco, Cal., to superintend repairs 011 the S. S. Neva dan, and t he b uilding of th ree of their Is rgest freight en at t he Union Iron \Vorks, later tak en over by the Bethle­ hem Steel Corpora tion. The new ships were the S. S. Mexican, the S. S. Columb ian, and the S. S. Hawaiian. After they were complete and sent to sea, the Company reta ined him as their superintending engineer of the Pacific Coast, which position he held unt il the Panama Canal was opened and they moved their offices back to New York when he resigned. He then took a posit ion as superinte nding engineer for \Y. B. Grace Steamship Compa ny with whom he remained until 1922, when he resigned on account of poor healt h. In 1925 he took over the Keddie Inn Resort in t he Feather River Canyon where he remained until his death . He was alec interested in mining. He possessed an inventi ve genius. I remember holdin g wire for him to make an electric light that would tu m dim as wen as bright. He completed it and had it in use long beforc we ever had, or heard of any " A Y U ICAH C..... II G"I!.GOR SociETY others. His friends wanted him to patent it but he never would. T he utisfaction of having made it was the only compen sation he cared for. While he was with the Hawaiian Llne in New York, he and Mr. Lasso, chief engineer for the Line. completed an oil bu rner for use in steamships which wae known as the T eaae Burner, and was one of the first of ita kind. I remembe r readin g about it in BOrne engineerin g book. The American-Hawaiian people th ought &0 much of it that they had it installed in all their ehipe. The light and the oil burner were the most import ant of his inventions, but there were a number of minor things that I cannot recall. My father looked and acted the gentleman that he was. Fond of beautiful t hings. he liked noth ing better than to buy furni shings, brio-a­ brae, etc., with unerring good t aste , for his home. He was always busy and made many lovely things. lI is home was fitted with ham mered brus elect ric fixtures, a set for t he fire place, and a smoking stand, all his own work. The andirons had an ingenius secret compartment where he kept a little bag of jewels. He loved his home and took great pleasure in having his many friend s in for meals and a drin k of wine or Scot ch whiskey which he alway s had on hand. He had a kind and te nder heart and was always ready to help those in need. He wu sincere in word. If he ever made a promise. it was as well as done. Independence of spirit, resourcefulness and rigidity of purpose were always outstanding t raiu of his characte r. We child ren always looked forward to his being in port for he played and romped with us, and taught the boys to mak e boau and toya with which they took great delight. It waa never necessary for him to pun ish one of us, as he had a way of looking at us that was more effective th an any chastisement that he could have adm inistered. We always knew what he meant and obeyed him. He was not a religious man. He never wen t to church and, as rar as I know, did not belong to one, but he was very scrupulous in rega rd to th e dictates of his conscience. He was honorable and upright in every respect, and was loved and respected by his bus ine88 a8S01; iates and fellowmen. He wu a member of the San Francisco T ransportation Club , San Francisco Southern Club, t he Sequoia Country Club and a F ishing Club at Oakl and, Cal. He WI! aha a member of The Society of Naval Archi. tect a and Marine Engineers. He was a Mason and belonged to th e Midd lebu rg Lodge No. 107. li e was very fond of hunting and fishing, and after he retired from active life, spent much time in the mountains. lie took great pride in his guns, of which he owned a very valuable collection. He especia lly loved the duck season and alway. brought home hi. quota. He loved hi. dog. and always owned one and seometimes several.

" Dick" Magruder, u we loved to call him, Wat a kindly man: earnest, sincere, genial, resourceful and publi c spirited. He possessed a qu aint humor and originality, and an understanding of human nature th at AMEalCAII CLAII GU;GOa SocIETT

Itood him well in hand in hil affairs, He combined in a rare manner a pleu ing modelty and an energetic perseve rance which had an appeal in his contact wit h men. T hese qualities and the fact that men found him absolutely dependable brou ght to him a great measur e of eucceee in his work, and earned for him the 10\'(' and respect he so richly deserved. T o him, more than to any other person, is d ue the credit for the rccla­ mation of the swamp and tidelands along t he Columb ia River. Among the first to recognize the possibilit y and opport unity of reclaiming these landa, he devoted himself to this work with enthuliasm and untiring energy. Before the San Franci lCO earthquake and fire in 1905, he had labored di ligently to bring owners of these landa together, and had pro­ cured opt ions covering large areas of swamp and overflow landl in Colu mbia and Clallop Countiu and on the Waahington side of the river. He had Interested ca piu lists in San Franci sco, and had every reason to ant icipate an early realization of his drea ms. But the night before the contracts were to be signed occurred the earthquake and fire, and when word reached those interested t he following morning they hurried home and were unable to continue the proj ect. T hen came man y dleappoin tmeme to ~1r . Magruder. His options expired, and he was ohliged to commence all over again. But M r. Magruder never lost courage, and he persisted in hil de­ termination to reclaim these land s. lie procured new options, interested new capital, and brought fort h organizat ions to carry on hie work. Thousands of acres were mad e into the most fert ile lands of the world; and Magruder lived to see his dream s realized in a large measure. Mag­ nificent fields stretched before him where once had been swamps and ulelen land. He chose for t he lite of his home at Clatsk anie a beauti ful epot above the Columbia highway well up in the hills adjoining th e Colu mbia River where he could see from his windows man y miles of those beautiful fields which his vision and energy had created, and where the Ian view of the glorious eunset through th e open ing where the river meet s the sea made a panoraata which is one of the malt wonderfu l in the world . Magruder never 100t interest in this work, and to the time of his death wae making new plan a for the furt her development of the community. His intere st in the act den who adopted these lands was ever alive and sympa t hetic. lie also took a keen interest in road s . nd road bu ilding; and handled many contracta for building roads, particularly these relating to fills in low and wet lands. One of hil last contracts was that on the Ocean View highway. He was t he owner of t he "Skookum," th e largest clam-shell dredge on the Columbia River.

B y M ARY THEU S E HILL, l\LUYLAND The subject of thi s sketch is my mother's brothe r, th e fifth child of Thcmae Magruder and l\hry Clark, born J anuary 15, 1810, at the old Magrud er homestead in th e FOI'C'It of Prince George', County, Maryla nd. Hi, boyhood and young manhood was passed at hi, fat her's home. At an early age he married Mary Anne Hill, my fat her', si, ter, and founded his own home, "Cherry Grove," a few mile' distsnt from his birth-place. Their only child, Elizabeth Virginia Magruder, a bonny daugh ter of the old Sout h, died in the 17th yea r of her age-a grief from which Aunt Mary and Uncle J ack never fully recovered . " Uncle J ack," as he was affect ionatel y called by relatives, friends, and acquaintances, pursued t he qu iet life of a country gentleman; look­ ing after his large farm and the man y interests pertaining thereto. A kind master in the old slave days, a good neighbor and a tru e friend, he W II indeed a fine type of Chri stian gentleman. His happ y home life W II noteworthy.He and Aunt )'lary began their day with prayer, and they closed their day after the same wholesome fashion as they sat in the twilight telling th eir bead s before the night lamp was lighted. This practice he continued even after his partner had passed. to the beyond. John Beall Magruder was a vigorous figure of mind and bod y, and a man of sound judgment and st rong intellect. Hi. intense love of nat ure even in it s violent expressions W ilt a keynote to his rugged char acter. He loved to watch thu nderstorms, and my recollections of him carry the picture of his st urdy figure, atanding motionless in some shelte red 62 AMERICAN CLAN GREGOR SO CIETY place, looking at th e sway ing trees with th e lightning playing through th em, and listening for th e crashes of thunder. Hi s opin ions on large qu estions were sought and respected by mem­ bers of his famil y and his friends. As " Glenway," my father's home, was th e center of famil y gatherings, and th e place to which all interesting bits of news was brought, so "Cherry Grove, " Uncle Jack's home in th e Forest, was th e center for dissemin atin g th ese news items to his community, and always a messenger was sent post-h aste th at he might be apprised of happenings of interest . Such an occasion is significant. M y brother, William W. Hill, II, was dispat ched to carry th e news of th e assassinati on of Abraham Lincoln. Arri ving, breathless with excitement and hard ridin g, he told his dra­ matic news. As Uncle Jack listened attentively, realizing the mighty purport of thi s death, following, as it did, hard upon the heels of th e surrender at App omattox and th e tr agedy of th e lost cause; while th e melancholy sound of guns, fired in solemn requiem, came from Wash­ ington across th e country through th e April air, he made th e remark which has become a family by-word, "You may fire your guns, but you can' t wake him up. " He always took a keen interest in Nati onal, State and county affairs, and was always well posted on such matters. He was a great ad mirer of th at grand old newspaper, " Thf Baltimore Sun ," having subscribed to it from its very first issue. For a period of 55 yea rs he never missed a copy, and th e Editor, Mr. Edwin S. Abell, sent it to him as a compli­ ment during th e last two years of his life. lt was from Uncle J ack's remarkable memory and great fund of in­ formation th at many genealogical facts about our Scotch ancestry have been made avail able. The Clan Gregor could not have had a more enthusiastic memb er had it been organized during his life tim e. H e was a man of unbounded charity; his heart, his pur se, and his home were eve r open to th ose who were in need, and his hospit alit y is a famil y tradition. I remember as a small child being at "Cherry Grove" with th e older memb ers of th e family, when one day a tenant from a neighb oring planta­ tion came over just about th e dinner hour to consult with Uncle J ack. Although hf knew it would not be wholly agreeable to the ladie s of his household, his kind heart prompted him to insist th at his visitor dis­ mount and join with him at th e mid-da y meal. I th en heard one of th e famil y exclaim, " J ust listen to Uncle J ack in his distressing hospitality." I do not rememb er whether or not th e dinn er invitati on was accepted, but th e expression " distressing hospitality" has stuck in my memory, and I ha ve ofte n th ought how truly characteristic it was of him of whom I write. Aunt Mary passed away February, 1877, and Uncle Jack remained in his own home, alone, for some yea rs. The last ten years of his life, however, was spent in my oid home " Glenway ," he and my father being life-long friend s and devot ed companions. H e survived my father by three yea rs.

Hi s great vigor and constitutional strength persisted. An amusing family story is frequently recalled when Uncle J ack and th e good old days are subjects of conve rsation. It is to thi s effect: Uncle Staley M agrud er, a younger brother, and the bachelor among t he M agrud er boys, was familiarly called th e " Colonel" as Uncle J ack was called th e " Ma jor." They had man y jokes and jibes between th emselves, and always gave one another th eir acquired titles when talking to or about each other. The report went out that Uncle J ack was very ill and might not survive th e attack. Wh en Uncle Sta ley was told, wha t to th e family was distressing news, remembering, no doubt, th e rugged physique and constitut ion of his broth er, said : " T he Major is not going to die. He will live until you have to shoot him. " Years afte r, when the grim last enemy was sta lking around th e sick bed of Uncle J ack, and he lay nigh unto death, Uncle Pat , th e faithful old body serva nt of my father, a man old and bent with yea rs, watching beside th e ebbing life just as he had watched beside his old master when his life went out, said with deep feeling as day after day the pulse con­ tin ued to beat, " Mars Staley ought' nt to have said th at about Mars J ack. It looks as if it mought come true." Vigorous and rugged indeed "The Major" was. He subsisted for fifteen days on a few drop s of water, and what, in his feverish illness, he himself termed "The most abomina ble egg I ever tried to eat." The passing yea rs took gentle toll of his strength, and he quietly fell asleep on J uly 25, 1897. We laid him to rest where he wanted to be-by th e side of his beloved "Mary," his helpmat e, in th e famil y cemetery in the Forest. John Beall Magrud er was th e son of Thomas Magrud er and Mary Clark; grandson of Isaac Magrud er and Rebecca Beall; great-g randson of Nathan Magruder and Sophia Bald win; great-great-grandson of J ohn Magrud er and Susanna Smith; great-g reat-g reat-grandson of Samuel Ma grud er and Sarah Beall; great-great-great-great-grandson of Alex­ ander Magruder, th e immigrant, and Margaret Braithwaite.

Talented mu sically, she studied pian o for a number of years at th e Illinois Con­ servatory of Music in J acksonville, Illin ois, and became a very proficient pianist. Desiring to take up teaching as a profession, preparation for th e work was made by a thorough course at th e Normal School in Lewis­ town, in the historic " Spoon River" district. As a teacher in th e Chandlerville public school from 1889 to 1893, th ence to Virgini a, Illin ois, for a period of two years in th e city schools, and in 1895 to Beard stown, Illinoi s, accepting a position as P rincipal of th e Second Ward School, she made a remarkable record , pupils and patrons of th e va rious schools testifyin g to her rare ability as an in­ structor.

Among her hobbies were genealogical researc h and all form s of history, and she was th e author of numerous brilliant articles along these lines.

NEWS OF OUR MEMBERS Our former Chieftain, Caleb Clarke Magruder, has been re-eJected Governor of the Society of Colonial Wars in the District of Columbia. Mr. Magruder in May (1930) was voted an appropriation by the General Society of Colonial Wars, to have made a copy of George Wash­ ington dressed in the uniform of a colonel of Virginia militia painted by Charles Willson Peale in 1772 at Mount Vernon. This portrait is the earliest known of Washington. Peale, native Marylander, received some of his training from the Swedish portrait painter, Gustavus Hesslius, who was engaged in 1721 by St. Barnabas Church, Queen Anne Parish, Prince George's County, Maryland, when Ninian Magruder, Sr., was warden, to paint "The Last Supper."

The War Department has requested Mr. Magruder to loan the copy of Peale's portrait for exhibition in the replica of Mount Vernon to be erected in Paris as the United States Government building at the Inter­ national Colonial and Overseas Exposition, in May, 1931. So prized is the copy that upon its return it will be hung in Arlington as the gift of the General Society of Colonial Wars. Mr. Magruder also has interested the Order of the Cincinnati in having .. painted a copy of Peale's Lafayette for the companion portrait of Wash­ ington in Paris. Further efforts will be made by him to enlist patriotic societies in having copies made of various historical paintings which formerly hung in Arlington, these copies to be presented to Arlington.
