MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
The South Carolina Seabrooks were, generally, opulent and well educated. Among them were lawyers, physicians, clergymen and many college-bred men. During the late unfortunate war between the states, many of them died for the cause they served and believed right. Of six Seabrooks, all officers, who were in the Virginia campaign, five are lying there today, one a brother of Robert E. Seabrook. Many were large planters of rice and Sea Island cotton, and became very rich men, but the war sadly wrecked their estates, and now they are working hard for a living. Letter of Robert E. Seabrook.

HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
Robert E. Seabrook, schoolmaster, residing in Charleston, married, but without issue, has perhaps, given more time to compiling the history of the Seabrook family than any one else. When I called upon him, he was absent upon his summer vacation. Such data as I present here, no doubt, could be much enriched by his knowledge.
One of the Seabrooks sent his son, Thomas, to Europe for travel and study. Upon his re- turn, his father asked him what he liked most while abroad, and he replied, "Paris, father." "I'll buy it for you, my son, I'll buy it for you, " was his rejoinder.
Polly Seabrook, cousin of Martha, wife of William Seabrook, died aged over one hundred years. She told Mrs. Seabrook, who gave the information to me, in 1899, that several brothers, by the name of Seabrook, came, jointly, to America, and settled; one, each, in New York, Vir- ginia and South Carolina. Existing records do not bear out this tradition.
. communication is difficult, never as easy as at the North, but singularly difficult now, for the war laid waste and desolated the coast of South Carolina in a fearful manner. The lands have all changed hands and the former masters are dead; their children feebly striving to keep soul and body together. Perhaps our sins have found us out. God only knows who was most to blame. That must be left to wiser heads than ours to decide, but a fearful trouble has fallen on all." Letter of Mrs. Joseph B. Seabrook, June 19, 1878.
In 1782, the estate of Joseph Seabrooke, of South Carolina, was amerced twelve per cent. There is reason to believe that, at the outset, he was a Whig.
Joseph Seabrooke, Jr., of South Carolina, was in office, under the Crown, after the surrender of Charleston. His property was confiscated. Sabine's Royalists in the Revolutionary War.
General Richard Jenkins, who was killed at the Battle of the Wilderness, was the son of a Seabrook mother.
In 1845, Everardus Whalley Seabrook was a graduate of Harvard.

SHEPHERD OF MONMOUTH COUNTY
Jan. 14, 1835, aged 97 years, 4 months and 3 days, and is buried in the Baptist Churchyard, Middletown, N. J.
She wrote Rev. Abel Morgan's epitaph, and broke two cart loads of clam shells in pieces with her hands, which were put beneath and around the first headstone of Rev. Abel Morgan, to prevent its sinking. It stood in the yard of the defunct Presbyterian Church, in Middletown, but was removed to the Baptist Churchyard, in the same village, where it stands adjacent to the monument recently erected.
It was a by-word that Sally Shepherd worshiped God and Abel Morgan.
The Rev. Mr. Morgan wore enormous big, plug, beaver hats, which were left in the garret of Capt. Moses Shepherd, 17, till destroyed by moth and age. Capt. Moses Shepherd settled his estate. Their farms were contiguous; Morgan's house and farm being upon the site of the Col. Elias Conover farm, on Middletown Turnpike going to Red Bank.

MISS ODETTE TYLER MARRIED. THE ACTRESS IS NOW THE WIFE OF MR. REZIN D. SHEPHERD, OF SHEPHERDSTOWN, W. VA. [By Telegraph to the New York Herald.]
Shepherdstown, W. Va., April 27, 1897 .- Mr. Rezin Davis Shepherd and his bride who was Miss Eliza- beth Lee Kirkland, daughter of General William W. Kirkland, better known by her stage name of Odette Tyler, arrived here this afternoon, and will spend part of their honeymoon at Mr. Shepherd's country home, Wild Goose Farm.
Miss Kirkland and Mr. Shepherd were married by the Rev. Dr. Roderick Terry in New York on April I. The first public announcement of the event was made in the Shepherdstown register last Thursday, Mr. Shepherd having communicated the news in a letter to his mother, who resides here.
Mr. Shepherd was a widower at the time of his marriage. His first wife was the well known actress, Marie Prescott, who died in New York city in August, 1893, after little more than a year of married life. Mr. Shep- herd himself was an actor, appearing under the name of McLean, as the leading man in Miss Prescott's com- pany. He has not been on the stage since her death.
Mr. Shepherd comes of an old and distinguished Virginian family, his ancestors being the founders of this town which bears their name. He is about thirty-eight years old, and is the eldest son of the late Colonel Henry Shepherd, who was the wealthiest man, probably, in this county. From his father he inherited a con- siderable fortune, including the estate of about four hundred acres of land known as Wild Goose Farm, which is the finest country seat in this section.
The Shepherds were very prominent in business circles in New Orleans years ago, and are related to the Brookses, of Boston.
Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd were warmly received here by his mother and brother. They will remain at Wild Goose Farm until Thurdsay evening, when they will go to New York. On Saturday they will sail for Europe. Mrs. Shepherd will fill her contract to play a three weeks' engagement in "Secret Service" in London.
282
HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
They will then return to the United States, and it is their present intention to settle at Wild Goose Farm, and Mrs. Shepherd says she will not go upon the stage again.
Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd desired that their marriage should be kept secret until they had sailed for Europe, on Saturday, and requested that no announcement should be made until Sunday next.
17 CAPT. MOSES SHEPHERD, son of Joseph Shepherd, 2, was not quite twenty-one when he married Rebecca, daughter of John and Mercy (Burrows) Stillwell, by license dated Mch. 23, 1767, and she was not quite twenty-five. He died Nov. 16, 1819, and his wife, Rebecca, died, Nov. 2, 1839, aged 98 years, I month and 26 days. They are interred in the Stillwell graveyard, on the Joseph Field farm, on the turnpike between Middletown and Red Bank.
Capt. Moses Shepherd was a Revolutionary officer, and served eight years in the Revolu- tionary War. Just after the Revolution, he built a house, which is now standing, (1890), next to Elias Conover's farm on the road to Red Bank.
Rebecca Stillwell, wife of Capt. Moses Shepherd, worshiped her brother, Joseph Stillwell, her father, and the Rev. Abel Morgan, "her trinity." Joseph Stillwell esteemed her judgment, and rode more than once from Trenton, where he was a member of the Legislature, to her home, to obtain her views on matters of public moment.

19 ELISHA SHEPHERD, son of Thomas Shepherd, 3, was born, at Millstone, N. J., July 16, 1750, and died, in Ohio, in 1834.
He served in the Revolution as Sergeant; fought in the Battle of Monmouth, and was con- fined, as a prisoner of war, in the Provost's prison. While there he suffered from poor food and cold, and waking one morning, found a dead man on either side of him. He twice escaped from the British soldiers, only to be recaptured, and his descendants still tell of his adventures and hairbreadth escapes.
His great-grandson, S. M. Schanck, Esq., of Hightstown, N. J., says that Capt. Elisha Shepherd was taken prisoner, at Colt's Neck, by Capt. Tye, and imprisoned in the Hangman's Jail, afterwards the Hall of Records, New York City. In an effort to recapture Elisha Shepherd, the lamented Dr. and Col. Forman, if I remember rightly, were killed.
"Elisha Shepherd was tall and slender, with blue eyes, square forehead, nose inclined to Roman, and a slight catch in his speech when excited. He was a great reader, was kind and affectionate, and very neat."
