  • James Maury, Son of Mathew Maury and Mary Ann, His Wife, Was Born April 8, 1717
    SOME PROMINENT •whose birth is not put down. In the Eev. James Maury's Bible we find the following entries: "James Maury, son of Mathew Maury and Mary Ann, his wife, was born April 8, 1717. (0. S. April 19/ 1717.) "Mary Maury, daughter -of James Walker and Ann, his wife, was born Noveniber 22, 1721. "My dear Mollie and I were married November 11, 1743." These two extracts settle the vexed question of Mrs. James Maury's parentage. Her husband's uncle, Rev. Peter Fontaine, says: "Col. Walker, chief person in the Ohio scheme, is her uncle, and the family record in her Bible, written by her husband, says her father was James Walker." The inference is that Col. Walker had a brother James who was Mrs. Maury's father, although his Is birth is not recorded in the Walker Bible. Family record of Eev. James Maury and Mary, nee Walker, copied by J. S. B. Davison from his Bible: "James Maury, son of Mathew Maury and Mary Ann, his wife, was born April 8, 1717. (0. S. April 19, 1717.) Died June 9, 1760.

    BANCROFT LIBRARY THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Matthew Fontaine Maury -By Elizabeth Buford Phillips Matthew Fontaine Maury BY Elizabeth Buford Phillips Historian Mary Mildred Sullivan Chapter United Daughters of the Confederacy New York City at the Read Regular Monthly Meeting of the Chapter, April 4, 1921 Matthew Fontaine Maury Hydrographer, Christian Philosopher, Exile [HERE is no hour within the life of Maury which stands out with more symbolic grandeur, none more pregnant in brief recital of his deeds and character, none of more permanent significance than the one here chosen as the Prologue of this chronicle. We are indebted, for the preservation of these details, to the Diary of Maury's daughter, Mrs. James R. Werth, who, as guest of the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University, was present when the 4'5 Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon her father. It was in the early summer of 1868 that this degree was there conferred upon four notable men : Thomas Wright, English An- tiquarian and Translator of Egyptian Hieroglyphics for the Brit- ish Museum; Max Muller, German Orientalist and Oxford Pro- fessor of Sanskrit Literature; Alfred Tennyson, Poet Laureate of England's Victorian era, and Matthew Fontaine Maury, Amer- ican Author, Scientist, and Exile. In scholastic cap, and gown of crimson cloth, these diversely gifted men might have sat as modern models for an immortal canvas! Civilization, Genius, and Religion, in noble majesty, seemed there enthroned in that centuries-old University in Cam- bridge, the City of Refuge, in England, the Asylum of the Exile ! Four wise men from out of the West here brought their gifts and were here to receive from this great University the seal of her approval.

  • The Civil War in America
    The eldest son of noted abolitionist Frederick Douglass and his wife Anna Douglass, Lewis Henry Douglass (1840–1908) was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts. In his youth, Lewis apprenticed as a typesetter for his father’s publications The North Star and Douglass’ Weekly. Heeding the call for black recruits from Frederick Douglass and others during the Civil War, Lewis Douglass enlisted in the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry on March 25, 1863. The regiment’s commander, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, immediately appointed Douglass as a sergeant major, the highest rank an African American could hold at that time. Douglass saw action at the battles of James Island, Olustee, and Fort Wagner. The valor shown by the 54th Massachusetts in this last engagement went a long way toward proving the mettle of black soldiers to their white fellow soldiers and civilians in the North. Discharged from the army in 1864 because of a medical disability, Douglass married Helen Amelia Loguen in 1869 and settled in the Anacostia section of Washington, D.C. Also in 1869, he became the first African American typesetter employed by the Government Printing Office. His tenure in this position proved short-lived, however, because the typesetters’ union refused him membership because of his race. Following this setback, Douglass helped establish and publish The New National Era, a weekly newspaper aimed at Washington’s African American community. Lewis Douglass also served as Assistant Marshall of the District of Columbia and a term on the Legislative Council of the District of Columbia. http://blogs.loc.gov/civil-war-voices/about/lewis-henry-douglass/ The Civil War in America Transcription (selection): A shell would explode and clear a space of twenty feet.

October 25, 1927. It is eminently appropriate that a life of Com- modore Matthew Fontaine Maury should be written in the environment of Annapolis, and by a professor in the United States Naval Academy, and The Maury Memorial Association is deeply appreciative of this splendid tribute to the name and fame of one of America's greatest naval officers and benefactors.

In the story of a man's Hfe one can see in quick review the struggle that man went through to attain or to fail to attain his heart's desire. For the professional man, life stories of his colleagues and predecessors focus down to the particular problems of the profession. This is essentially the case with the story of a man like Maury. As a naval officer, Maury's work will always remain outstanding. He was one of our pioneer investigators of the geography of the sea and the physics of the air.
