riage. His son Henry married Susan Cook, of Glou- cester; her mother came to the colony from England soon after the Bacon's Rebellion. All the Fitzhugh's of America are descended from the William above mentioned. The eldest male branch of the family has become extinct. Thus William, eldest son of the first settler who married Mary Lee, had one son, Henry, who married a Miss Carter. He had only one son, William Fitzhugh, of Chatham, who married a Miss Randolph. William of Chatham, left one son, the late William H. Fitzhugh, of Fairfax, who mar- ried the beautiful Miss Goldsborough, of Maryland, and died childless. Bishop Meade is descended from the Fitzhughs. Mrs. Custis of Arlington, was a sister of William H. Fitzhugh. She left only a daughter, who married Colonel Robert E. Lee, of the United States Army .- George Fitzhugh, in De- Bow's Review, 1860.
CHAPTER X
HE people of Washington County warmly supported President Jefferson* in his re- sentment of the outrages upon American vessels and the impressment of naturalized American citizens, which brought on the War of 1812. Their representatives in Congress, Roger Nelson and his sueeessor, Samuel Ringgold, were strong Republicans and voted to sustain the Admin- istration. In Hagerstown public sentiment express- ed itself in the usual way-namely, by holding public meetings. One of these mectings was called to be held in the Court House, July 14, 1807, to adopt resolutions "upon the das- tardly outrages committed by the British Squad- ron stationed on our coast on the flag and citizens of the United States." Over this
meeting Dr. Richard Pindell was called to preside. This distinguished gentleman had served his eountry as a surgeon in the Revolution- ary army, and he was among the first to raise his voice for resistenee to the encroachments of Eng- land. Strong resolutions were adopted, and it was ordered that copies of them should be sent by Upton Lawrenee, the secretary, to the Presi- dent of the United States and the Governor of Maryland. An estimate may be made of the ehar- acter of the leading citizens of Washington County in those days by a consideration of the men who composed the eommittee which drafted these reso- lutions. They were Nathaniel Rochester, Gen. Thomas Sprigg, Samuel Hughes, Jr., Dr. Richard Pindell, Col. William Fitzhugh, Major Charles Carroll, Dr. Frisby Tilghman, Col. George Nigh, Dr. Christian Boerstler, Upton Lawrenee, Dr. Jacob Schnebley, Col. Daniel Hughes, Col. Adam
Ott, William Keyser and Alexander Neill. It is doubtful whether any County in Maryland could at this time furnish such an array of men.
On the 17th of July a eall was published in the newspapers for a meeting at Smith's tavern to form a company of volunteers in response to the President's desire. The meeting was held and the "Hagerstown Volunteer Rifle Company" was formed. John Ragan, Jr., was elected Cap- tain, Thomas Post and William B. Rochester, Lieutenants. Although this company was mustered in and out of the regular army before the begin- ning of the war and saw no active service, each one of the commissioned officers afterwards iook an honorable part in the war. Ragan entered the ariny and commanded a company at New Orleans and a regiment at Bladensburg. In the latter battle he was injured by his horse and taken prisoner. He died in Hagerstown in 1816 at the early age of thirty-four years. Post also commanded a company during the war and was Sheriff of the county afterwards. Of Rochester we have already spoken. He removed to New York with his father, Nathaniel Roehester before the war began, but he was there eleeted captain of a company and served in the eampaigns along the Canadian frontier. Besides this company there were a great many others in the eounty then or shortly afterwards. Ragan's company, along with those of Captains Henry Lewis, Joseph Chaplain of Sharpsburg, John Harry, Daniel Hughes, Jr., and others composed the Eighth Reg- iment of Maryland Militia which was under the eomniand of old Colonel John Carr, the veteran of two wars. This regiment along with those of

HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD
Colonel Samuel Ringgold, Colonel Jacob Schnebly and a number of detached companies, composed General Thomas Sprigg's Brigade. Otho H. Williams, the nephew of Washington's staff officer, was Captain of the American Blues and Captain Frisby Tilghinan of the Washington Hussars. All these troops gathered in Hagerstown in May 1808 and were reviewed by Gen. John Eager Howard.
The whole County was in a fever of military excitement for some years. There was parading and marching and martial music and drilling incessant- ly. C'ol. Tilghman, who lived at old Tilghman place in the Tilghmanton District, known as Rockland, drilled his Washington Huzzars at the cross roads, now known as Lappans. But the country is an unfavorable place to keep a militia company to- gether as it is dull work for the militiaman to drill with no one to look on. The military enthusiasm was greatly stimulated by the patriotic songs writ- ten by Thomas Kennedy then of Williamsport. They were published in the Maryland Herald and afterwards gathered and published in a volume. But it was believed that the trouble with Great Britain was settled and all the companies which had entered the service, were mustered out again before hostilities began. At the election in 1808, the Democrats carried Washington County and Nathaniel Rochester was elected Elector of President and Vice-President on the James Mad- ison and George Clinton ticket. The delegates to the legislature that year were Frisby Tilghman, Win. Gabby. William Downey and John Bowles. The inauguration of Madison, March 4, 1809, was the occasion of great rejoicing in Hagerstown, which manifested itself by the drinking of as many toasts as there were stars on the flag. There was a great ringing of bells and firing of cannon. The people assembled at the Court House and listened to an address by William L. Brent. Nathaniel Rochester was the chairman of the mect- ing. Suitable resolutions were adopted on Jeffer- son the retiring and Madison the new President and copies transmitted to each of those gentlemen. The dinner was claborato and consisted in part of an ox roasted whole. In the evening the town was illuminated and bands of music paraded the streets and Col. Henry Lewis displayed a full length portrait of the new President on the second story of his stone residence, the old Hager residence, at the northeast corner of the Square and East Washington street.
The Democrats or Republicans were all this
time in the ascendent in Washington County. Samuel Ringgold, the candidate of that party was elected three times in succession to the House of Representatives, namely in 1808, 1810 and 1812. At the Presidential election in 1812 the Clinton Electors of the Distriet were Henry Willians of Frederick County and Daniel Rentch, of Wash- ington County. This ticket carried Frederick County by 464 and Allegany by 78 majority. The Madison Electors, Frisby Tilghman and Joshua Cockey were defeated but they earried Washington County by 424 majority.
In 1812 Samuel Ringgold voted with the majority for the declaration of war with Great Britain and then went home to take his share in the war he voted for. Washington and Freder- ick Counties constituted one of the districts of State which should furnish a regiment of eavalry. In this regiment Frisby Tilghman was appointed Lieutenant Colonel and O. H. Williams, eaptain of the American Blues, Major Moses Tabbs was elected Captain of Williams' old company and Edward Greene Williams was made captain of the Hussars in place of Tilghman. Early in 1812 a recruiting office was opened in Hagerstown by Lieut. John Miller of the regular army. The inducements offered to volunteers were a pay of five dollars a month, a bounty, upon enlisting, of sixteen dollars and the promise, upon honorable discharge of three months pay and a hundred and sixty acres of land which, in case of his death in the service, should go to his heirs. The people of Washington County quickly responded to the call for enlistment and a great many companies were formed. The County's quota was filled without resort to draft and there were over six hundred men from the County in the army. Sam- uel Ringgold was General of the Second Brigade of the Third Division. Major Thomas B. Pot- tinger was Brigade Inspector. In this Brigade were Lieut. Colonel David Schnebly's Eighth Regiment, of which John McClain and Christian Hager were Majors; Lieut. Col. Daniel Malott's Tenth Regiment ; Lieut. Col. John Ragan's Twen- ty-fourth Regiment and a squadron of horse com- posed of the Blues and Hussars. under Major O. H. Williams. Among the captains who had com- mand of the Washington County Companies, were Thos. B. Hall, of the Washington Rangers, David ('ushwa, of Clearspring. Joseph Hunter, Capt. Wherritt, Girard Stonebraker, of Funkstown (the father of the present John W. Stonebraker, the

In July 1813 most of the companies were sent home, but were the next year ordered baek to the defenee of Baltimore and took part in the battle of North Point and Bladensburg. In the latter battle which took place August 24, 1814, were Colonel Ragan's regiment and the cavalry troop of Major Otho Holland Williams, which
belonged to Col. Tilghman's regiment. This squadron was composed of Captain John Barr's American Blues and Captain Edward Greene Williams' Washington Hussars. In this engage- ment Col. Ragan as has been already said, was wounded and taken prisoner. But the great body of the Washington County men gained no glory in the fight. It was a matter of great surprise

The three Captains, Quantrill, Barr and Shryock, and several other officers of these companies, are yet in the land of the living, but death has been busy among the remainder during the forty-one years which have elapsed since the war. A number of names in the above lists have become extinct in this county, those who answered to them at the Sergeant's call having long since passed away without a sur- vivor to perpetuate them; and but few of those whose names have not died out are now here to receive the reward for their services, which has at last been wrung from their country.

OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, MARYLAND.
in the County in those days of slow movement, how soon after the battle many of our soldiers reappeared at their homes. Many of the individ- ual soldiers were subjected to taunts for years and many serious personal difficulties and conflicts grew out of them. Very different, however, was the behavior of these same men the following month at the Battle of North Point. There Cap- tain Quantrell's Hagerstown Volunteers, and Col. Tilghman's Cavalry* were especially commended for their bravery and Captain Shryock and his men performed a conspicuous part in the defence of Baltimorc. But the two sons of Washington County who were most conspicuous in this war, fought on the northern frontier. The first was Captain Elliott, of the Niagara, who shared with Commodore Perry the honor of gaining the great naval victory of Lake Erie by going in an open
boat along the whole line of battle to bring the sehooners into action. In after years indisereet friends by making odious comparisons and derog- atory remarks got these two brave men into enmity to each other which eulminated in a challenge to Perry by Elliott.
The other soldier from this eounty who was conspieuous in the operations on the northern frontier, was Lieut. Col. Charles G. Boerstler, son of the distinguished Dr. Christopher Boerstler, of Funkstown. He was in the regular army and died at New Orleans November 21, 1817. On the 24th of June 1813, Col. Boerstler was detaeh- ed with five hundred men to dislodge a British picket at a place called Beaver Dams. The eom- mand, whilst going through the woods were set upon by a body of British and Indians and their ammunition being nearly exhausted and being
*A Colored Veteran of 1812 Wants a Pension .- Under this caption, "J. P. M." the Special Annapolis Correspondent of the Baltimore American, gives the substance of the petition of a colored man, residing in Frederick City, praying for a pension for services rendered during the War of 1812. As the names of gentlemen, well.known and distinguished in the past history of our county, appear in the petition, we give the Correspondent's account of it as follows: "The petition states that the claimant, early in the summer of 1814, accompanied Colonel Tilghman's regiment of Cavalry from Washington county, as steward to Dr. Hammond and his aide. When the regiment arrived at Washington city the aide was dismissed, and the claimant (Neale) was appointed aide in his place. His duties were to attend the Doctor on the battlefield, carry his case of surgical instruments and assist in the care of the wounded. He was armed and equipped as a soldier, "in order to fight the enemy when hard pressed." From Washington the command to which the claimant was attached was ordered to Prince George's county, near Mr. West's plantation, and from there to Benedict, where they encountered the enemy. The forces con- sisted of Colonel Duvall's Regiment of Light Dra- goons, Captain William's Company of Horse and Captain Stull's Company of Riflemen. A severe skir- mish took place and the command fell back to Woodward and drew up in line of battle. The ene- my made a detour and proceeded to Marlboro in pur- suit of Commodore Barney, who, on hearing of the approach of the British, "mounted his men, blew up his flotilla and retreated before their advancing col- umns, which far outnumbered him in men and ani- munition." The petitioner then says: "Our forces then marched to the northeast side of Marlboro, where we found the British had thrown out pickets and assumed the defensive. While in that locality a gentleman came to our commanding officer and asked that a company be detailed to go several miles and rescue a number of beeves which had been
captured by the enemy. While the Colonel was pre- paring to go the British trumpeters blew an advance, and in less than half an hour the British forces were in Marlboro. The Colonel ordered his forces to fall back, when brisk skirmishing took place, and lasted with short intervals till we reached Bladensburg. Arriving there cold, wet and hungry, not having tasted food for two days and a night, we found a provision wagon, and, after satisfying our hunger, we came in contact with the British pickets. After being on duty all night, we in the early gray of the morning of August 24th, under command of General Winder, prepared for the battle of Bladensburg. About twelve o'clock the British opened fire from the hill, and with their rockets set the broom sedge and fences on fire. The firing continued until near two o'clock, when our men became panic-stricken and retreated in disorder. We reached Baltimore before the battle of North Point. Upon the night of our arrival it was reported that the British had passed Fort McHenry, and were sailing to Spring Garden, from which point they intended to capture Baltimore. I was on the ground fully armed, and ready to defend the ladies and children, who were crying in a heartrending manner around me. At this place I received a shot in my hand, caused in this wise: The horse ridden by Dr. Hammond became restive from the loosening of the saddle girth, which caus- ed it to turn. I dismounted from my horse to ad- just the saddle, when one of the pistols in the doc- tor's holster went off .- The ball passed through my hand near the fore finger, causing a very painfuf wound."
"As illustrating the march of public opinion 1 will mention the fact that the above petition is endorsed by Hon. Wm. P. Maulsby, Chief Judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit; Hon. John A. Lynch, Associate Judge of the same Circuit; Hon. P. H. Mar- shall and others. J. P. M .- Herald and Torch, Feb. 2, 1870.

deceived into believing the opposing force much larger than it really was, Col. Boerstler surren- dered. He wrote a letter to his father explaining to him the circumstances of his surrender and showing that it was demanded on the score of humanity as otherwise all his men would have been slaughtered. Col. W. Scott added a post- script to the letter begging the old Doctor to be- lieve that his son "is not condemned for being unfortunate."#
In the Congressional election in 1814 Samuel Ringgold was the Democratic candidate and Jolin Baer federalist or peace candidate. Baer was successful by about a hundred and fifty majority. Washington County gave Ringgold a majority of a hundred and fifty, but there were fully five hundred Democratic votes absent from Washing- ton County in the army and this is what defcated Ringgold. But it is possible that he might even then have been successful but for a charge which was brought against him, namely that he had unlawfully ordered the militia into service. When Washington was threatened by the British Ring- gold ordered his brigade, which had been mustered out of active service to the defence of the Capital as he had ample authority to do. The brigade assembled at Boonsboro and there being informed that the presence of the troops at Washington would not be required and it being a time of the year when the men were needed on their farms, the General immediately disbanded them. This very proper and patriotic action was made the subject of a serious charge. Gen. Ringgold was again a candidate in 1816 and the charge was repeated, but the people repudiated it and elected Ringgold.
The lesson of the embargo taught the people the folly of being entirely dependent on foreign nations for its manufactured goods and there was an earnest effort in Washington County as else- where to establish factories. The Hagerstown
*Herald and Torchlight May 11, 1870, contains the following notice of the death of an old soldier:
On Friday morning last, John Harrington, well known as an old soldier of the War of 1812, dicd very suddenly of Paralysis, at his residence on East Washington Street of this town, aged 89 years and 6 days. Notwithstanding the extreme age of the de- ceased, up to within two days of his death, he walked our streets and moved in our midst with an energy and sprightliness seldom witnessed in one of his years. He was, indeed, a remarkable man in this respect, but he was most notable, during his long residence in this County, for his passionate, all-
Herald of Oct. 4, 1809, announced the fact that in the preceding eighteen months fourteen carding mills had been erected and all were busy. There was also a spinning machine of three hundred spindles and others were about to be erected by E. G. Gibbs, who had made them all and had an interest in all. Several weavers had introduced the flying shuttle, the advantages of which were incalculable. There was a general preference, added the Herald, for the home products, "which whilst not so stylish as foreign, were better suited to republican manners." There was also a factory for bridle bits and stirrup irons. In the year 1813 the Herald was the only English newspaper pub- lished in Washington County. It was the suc- cessor of the Washington Spy. Thomas Grieves, the publisher of the Herald, had married Phoebe Herbert, the widow of Stewart Herbert, the foun- der of the Spy and had changed the name of the Spy into the Hagerstown Herald. This year Grieves associated his step-son, Stewart Herbert, with him in the publication of the Herald. Grieves died in Cumberland in 1840 and Stewart Herbert lived until 1853. Richard Williams was the first apprentice in the office of the Spy. In 1802 he established the "Farmers' Repository" but it was short lived and Williams went off to the war as Lieutenant of a volunteer compapny. He died in Charlestown, W. Va., in 1852. In 1809 Wil- liam McPherrin started "The Gazette." It lasted just four years and suspended in 1813. In 1814 O. H. W. Stull and other influential gentlemen established the Torch Light and William D. Bell, a young man who had been in the army, was the first editor. Stull was the son of old Judge Stuli. He was afterwards Secretary of the Territory of Iowa, appointed by President Harrison. He died July 1867, aged eighty-four years at the home of his son-in-law. James M. Schley, in Cumberland. The old Herald was published until 1824. It was then bought by Dr. John Reynolds and trans-
