native district in the House of Burgesses, and on the 14th of November, 1764, was one of its distinguished members chosen to prepare an address to the King, a memorial to the Lords, and a remonstrance to the House of Commons, in opposition to the Stamp Act. He was a delegate from Virginia to the first Continental Congress, which assembled at Philadelphia, September 1, 1774, when he had the gratification of sceing his brother-in-law, Peyton Randolph, placed in the Presidential chair.
At the Congress of the following year, 1775, after the death of Mr. Randolph, it was the wish of nearly all the southern members, that Mr. Harrison should succeed him in the presidency, but as the patriotic John Hancock of Massachusetts had likewise becn nominated, Mr. Harrison, to avoid any sectional jealousy or unkindness of feeling between the northern and southern dele- gates at so momentous a crisis, and with a noble self-denial, generously relinquished his own claims, and insisted on the elec- tion of Mr. Hancock, who accordingly had the honor of being unanimously chosen to that high office. Mr. Harrison still, how- ever, continued one of the most active and influential members of the Continental Congress. On June 10, 1776, as chairman of the committee of the whole house, he introduced the resolution which declared the independence of the colonies, and on the ever- memorable Fourth of July he reported the more formal Declaration of Independence, to which celebrated document his signature is annexed. The Legislature of Virginia returned Mr. Harrison four times as a delegate to Congress. On the expiration of his last term of congressional service he was immediately clected to the House of Burgesses from his own county, and was at once chosen Speaker of that body, an office which he held uninterruptedly until the year 1782, when he was elected Governor of Virginia and became one of the most popular officers that ever filled the executive chair.

The house has the form of a T, being a building of two stories, with four rooms to a story. On a brick in the outside wall is cut in large figures the year of its ereetion-1762. In 1760 Col. Gordon noted in his diary that "Col. Churchill's house with all its contents has been destroyed by fire." This probably had reference to "Bushy Park," and "Wilton" was probably built as a result.

William Henry Harrison was left under the guardianship of Robert Morris, the distinguished financier. He was educated at Hampden-Sidney College and turned his attention to the study of medicine. The hostilities of the Indians on the northern frontier caused him to relinquish professional pursuit and join the army destined to the defence of the Ohio frontier. His father died in April 1791, and soon after he received from Washington, when

only nineteen, his commission as ensign. In 1792 he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, and fought under General Wayne, who spoke of his gallant conduct in a very flattering manner. After the desperate battle of Miami Rapids, he was promoted to the rank of captain and was placed in command at Fort Washington. In 1797 he resigned his commission in the army, and was imme- diately appointed secretary of the Northwest Territory. In 1799, at the age of twenty-six, he was elected a delegate from this terri- tory to Congress. On the erection of Indiana into a territorial government, he was appointed its first governor, and he held this office by reappointment until 1813.
In addition to duties in the civil and military government of the territory, he was commissioner and superintendent of Indian affairs, and in the course of his administration he concluded thirteen important treaties with different tribes. On November 7, 1811, he gained an important advantage over the Indians in the battle of Tippecanoe, the news of which was received throughout the country with a burst of enthusiasm. During the last war with Great Britain he was made commander of the Northwest army of the United States, and he bore a conspicuous part in the leading events of the campaign of 1812-13, the defence of Fort Meigs and the victory of the James. In 1814 he was appointed in conjunc- tion with his companions at arms, Gov. Shelby and Gen'l Cann, to treat with the Indians in the Northwest, and in the following year he was placed at the head of a commission to treat with various other Indian tribes. In 1816 General Harrison was elected a mem- ber of Congress from Ohio, and in 1828 he was sent Minister Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Columbia. On his return he took up his residence at North Bend, on the Ohio sixteen miles below Cincinnati, where he lived upon his farm in comparative retirement until he was called by the people of the United States to preside over the country as its chicf magistrate. Of 294 votes for President, he received 234. He died April 4, 1841, just a month after his inauguration. His death caused a deep sensation throughout the country.
