Hon. John Lovett.
the encouragement that an academical institution would be opened, at the head of which he would be placed. He brought the highest recommendations from President Stiles, not only for attainments in knowledge, but also for excellence and purity of character, which gave him the confidence of the strangers among whom he was to cast his lot for life. Disappointed in the result of the efforts that were made for the establishment of a seminary of learning here, he commenced the study of the law in the office of Richard Sill, then one of the eminent lawyers of Albany, where he had the advantage of making the acquaintance of Gen. Schuyler, Gen. Hamilton, Abraham Van Vechten, Col. Troup, and Col. Burr, who was then at the zenith of his reputation. Here he also became acquainted with Col. Duer, the father of the two distinguished lawyers which have since borne his name. By his representations he was induced, soon after being admitted to practice, to proceed to Fort Miller, where the Colonel had made a very large purchase of land, and begun his settle- ment in a new country, where the surrounding woods reached the outskirts of his buildings, by erecting a mansion one hundred and forty-four feet long ! The Lady Katy, as the courtesy of that day termed the eldest daughter of Lord Stirling, was residing there with her two little sons and their tutor, Mr. Lovett as general agent, and a land steward, who was to sell the land if any one wished to pur- chase-the wolves howling in chorus around the very purlieus of the Italian piazzas. Here Mr. Lovett and his faithful negro man Juba, commenced professional life - the latter much the most successful of the two, for his gun could supply the daily wants of the family without making drafts upon his master's father. To this peculiarly romantic residence, Mr. Lovett took his youthful wife from Con- necticut, a daughter of Gen. McClellan, and remained there several years, gaining the confidence and esteem of the people to such a degree as to lay the foundation of a very large and profitable busi- ness in his profession, after his removal to Lansingburglı. The story of the feudal grandeur which was commenced at Fort Miller is soon told. Col. Duer never went up there; Lady Katy and her two little sons returned to New York, and the only advantage resulting from this magnificent scheme was the habit of public speaking which the young Duers acquired, by being placed upon the dinner table by their mother, every day, after the cloth was removed, and there taught to speak unabashed by the company that might be present. The establishment went to ruin, was torn down, and the material sold for a trifle; and thus ended this as well as other similar and equally vain attempts to build up seigniories in this state like those of Canada.
From Fort Miller Mr. Lovett removed to Lansingburgh, which, strange to say, attracted more attention half a century ago, than it has since. Here he enjoyed many years of peace, prosperity and happiness. In 1800 he was elected a member of Assembly from

Rensselaer county. The profits of his professional life enabled him to purchase a number of beautiful farms on the Hudson river, and indulge that taste which was almost a passion with him, for agricul- tural pursuits. In 1807 he removed to Albany, where a large por- tion of his earliest friends welcomed him again. He took an active part in the exciting political controversies of the day, and his ready pen was brought into constant requisition, for the service of the federal party, to which, from youthi, he had been most warmly attached. He continued the practice of the law, to which were added the duties of clerk of the common council, until the breaking out of the war in 1812. This measure, although so strongly opposed by his party, became the law of the land. Gen. Stephen Van Rens- selaer, his early friend, was appointed to the command of the troops destined for the defence of the north-western frontier, and at his earnest solicitation Mr. Lovett was induced to accompany him as military secretary. In answer to Mr. Lovett's doubt as to how he should succeed as a soldier, since he had never even trained as a militiaman in his life, the General replied, " It is not your sword, but your pen that I want." It was a fearful crisis in the life of the General, involving his reputation. One party boldly advocated an agrarian law, to divide these overgrown estates among the people, if their owners declined to come out at the call of their government and defend them. Mr. Lovett's personal attachment to the General was such that he did not hesitate to assume this new calling. The party of citizen soldiers marched to Canada, accompanied by many brave volunteers who were destined never to return.
Before the dawn of that disastrous day of the battle of Queenstown, the General requested Mr. Lovett to take charge of a battery erected on the American side, which was to keep in check any body of the enemy that should appear on their own high and broken bank, and by a well directed fire to prevent them from firing down upon the American troops which were crossing the stream below to make the attack. He took his post with alacrity, but when the battle com- menced it was too dark to distinguish, without the greatest care, the American troops ascending the heights, from those of the enemy rushing to defend them ; and as Mr. Lovett placed his hand upon a heavily loaded cannon, and stooped to see that it was properly aimed, it was touched off, and the shock nearly deprived him of his hearing. He received an injury to his ears which was permanent, and beyond surgical aid. The history of this battle and its results are familiar to all. Gen. Van Rensselaer returned home, leaving Mr. Lovett in attendance upon his tried and attached friend, Gen. Solomon Van Rensselaer, who had been so severely wounded as to be incapable of removal. After a long and tedious convalescence, Mr. Lovett accompanied his companion home. The citizens of Albany turned out to meet them on horseback, and escorted them into the city with all the honors of a Roman triumph,

Shortly after, Mr. Lovett was elected to a seat in the 13th Con- gress, where he renewed his old acquaintance with Gov. Meigs of Ohio, who, as United States surveyor, had become familiar with the best tracts of land offered about this time at public sale. Preeminent among them he regarded the reservation of the Twelve mile square, at the mouth of the Maumee, which was just surveyed, and had never before been offered for sale. It embraced the site of Fort Meigs, directly opposite Gen. Wayne's battle ground. Mr. Lovett pur- chased it, and commenced the settlement of Perrysburgh. In con- nection with Dr. Josephus B. Stewart, he built the first steam boat that navigated the waters of Lake Erie, named, in honor of the Indian chief, Walk-in-the-Water ; for many years a regular trader between Buffalo and the Rapids of the Maumee, now known as Perrysburgh. The development of the resources of this section of country has shown the correctness of Mr. Lovett's judgment in making the selection. A magnificent bridge now spans the Maumee river at Perrysburgh, over which must pass most of the travel by land from the north-east to the south-west part of the adjoining states. The Wabash and Indiana canal opens in front of the town, and regular steam boats run from Perrysburgh to Detroit every day. Most of those who planned these improvements have long since mingled their remains with the clods of the valley -the fate of those who lead the way in all the openings of the settlements of our country, as well as others. Mr. Lovett withstood for a while the effects of a long protracted illness of lake fever, brought on by exposure, but sunk at last. The memory of his talents and virtues are still cherished by the friends who mourned his early removal from a large and devoted family. He died at Fort Meigs in August, 1818, in the 53d year of his age.
