A staunch secessionist, he served as the provost marshal for his home county. Terrill had eight children with his first wife, Elizabeth Pitzer, five of whom survived into adulthood. All four of Terrill's sons served during the Civil War in some capacity. George, James, and Philip fought for the Confederacy, while William choose to remain loyal to the United States. Of the four, only George survived the war.","George Parker Terrill (1828-1884[?]) was the eldest child of the Terrill family. He graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in 1849. He then went to medical school at the University of Pennsylvania and received his degree in 1853. Although ill health and the urging of his father prevented him from seeing action with the Confederate Army, he did serve in the 157th Virginia militia with the rank of Colonel. During the war he also served as a recruiter and a post surgeon.","Emily Cordelia (Terrill) Porterfield (1832-unknown) was the only surviving daughter of the Terrill family. She married George A. Porterfield (1822-1919), a colonel in the Confederate Army who commanded a Confederate force that was defeated at Philippi in western Virginia on June 3, 1861 in what became known as the \"Philippi Races\".","William Rufus Terrill (1834-1862) was the only member of the Terrill family to side with Union during the Civil War. He graduated from West Point in 1853. He served as an artillery officer in the US Army, first fighting in Florida against the Seminole Indians (1853) and then taking a position as a mathematics instructor at West Point (1853-54). He returned to active military service and was stationed along the Kansas-Missouri border during \"Bleeding Kansas\" (1854-55). He later served as an assistant in the United State Coast Survey (1855-1861).","In August 1861, William was commissioned as a captain in the 5th Regiment of Artillery. He went on to commanded an artillery brigade in the Army of the Ohio at the Battle of Shiloh. In September 1862, he was appointed to the rank of Brigadier General and was placed in command of the 33rd Brigade in the Army of the Ohio. William was mortally wounded by a shell fragment at the Battle of Perryville (Oct. 8, 1862) and died later the same day. William was later buried at West Point National Cemetery.","James Barbour Terrill (1838-1864) graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in in 1858. He then went on to study law at Washington College and later practiced law in his native Bath County. Before the war, he had been serving as a major in the Virginia militia. When the Civil War began, James enlisted as a Major in the 13th Virginia Infantry Regiment and shortly thereafter was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. James and the 13th Virginia participated in many of the war's major battles. After the Battle of Fredericksburg, James was appointed to the rank of Colonel. James and his regiment fought with Union forces at Bethesda Church, near Mechanicsville, Virginia on May 30, 1864. During the fighting, James was shot twice and died on the battlefield. The next day, unaware of his death, the Jefferson David and the Confederate Senate approved James' promotion to the rank of Brigadier General. James was buried by Union troops, but was later disinterred and reburied at an unknown location by his father.","Philip Mallory Terrill (1842-1864) was a student at the University of Virginia when the Civil War began. He left school to enlist the Confederate Army, joining the 25th Virginia Infantry. He later served in the 62nd Virginia (Mounted) Infantry and 12th Virginia Cavalry. He was mortally wounded at the Battle of Cedar Creek near Winchester, Virginia on November 12, 1864 and died shortly thereafter.","The Terrill family gained a measure of national attention due to a Harper's Weekly article written by editor Richard Dana, which fabricated a story that William Henry Terrill had all his fallen sons buried together and placed a monument over the grave inscribed with the words \"Only God Knows Who Was Right\". Most accounts of the Terrill family refer to this story, either as a legend or citing it as fact.","Digital and microfilm copies of papers of the Terrill family of Hot Springs, Bath County, Virginia, a family divided by conflicting sympathies during the American Civil War; and papers of the Porterfield family, featuring primarily those of George A. Porterfield, who married Emily Cordelia Terrill, and who commanded a Confederate force that was defeated at Philippi in western Virginia on June 3, 1861 in what became known as the \"Philippi Races.\"","There is extensive correspondence of the Terrill family for 1845-1868 documenting antebellum life at \"Rose Hill,\" William Rufus Terrill at West Point, and the impact of the Civil War, among other topics; Terrill correspondents include the father, William Henry, as well as children William Rufus, Phillip Mallory, George Parker, and Emily Cordelia.","Highlights of the George A. Porterfield papers include correspondence relating to his participation in the Mexican-American War (1847-1848), and an order book (beginning on June 8, 1861) recording his efforts to have convened an investigation into the defeat at Philippi.","There are also miscellaneous family papers and clippings regarding the genealogy and history of the Terrill and Porterfield families, as well as related families (Mayos, Tabbs, Carringtons, and Cabells), slave records, and clippings regarding the Civil War in western Virginia (including one authored by George A. Porterfield dating from 1878).","Note to researchers: The digital and microfilm copies are not a one-to-one match. Certain documents are present in one form but not the other. Please review both the digital and microfilm versions to see all available material.","Addendum of 2011/03/24 contains five original copies of letters from William Henry Terrill to his son George Parker Terrill, all written during the Civil War. Three of the letters date from 1861; two from 1865. Topics include the military service of William Henry Terrill's sons; the effect of the war on the family personally; the sale, purchase, and keeping of slaves; and Terrill's support for the Southern cause, among others. Please note that William Henry Terrill is referred to as \"Terrill\" throughout the following; all other persons with the surname of Terrill are referred to by their first names. (1861, 1865; 5 letters consisting of 14 leaves and 27 pages)","The letter of 11 June 1861 from the addendum regards Terrill's service to the Confederate army as a \"high private\". Terrill complains of the conduct of a Colonel Smith. He also writes of the appointment of his sons James and Phillip as officers within the Confederate army. Terrill writes at length of the decision of his son William to side with the Union and how this has separated him from the family. Terrill also discusses the court martial of his daughter Emily's husband, George A. Porterfield, for his role in the Battle of Philippi. Terrill cautions George not to join the army, on account of his poor health.","The letter of 14 July 1861 regards news about Philip, who has been involved in fighting, and concern that he may have been killed. Terrill mentions a Colonel Heck who, like Philip, fought with Union troops near Beverly, (West) Virginia. Terrill also mentions his plans to travel to Charlottesville and Winchester. He writes of the justness of the Confederate cause and of the state of the military conflict.","The letter of 15 November 1861 regards the political and military situation in the South. Terrill predicts famine and scarcity due to the South being cut off from major agricultural suppliers. He is also concerned for his own financial situation. Terrill writes that he regrets he is too old to fight, but is comforted by the service of his sons. He also writes of his distress concerning William fighting for the North.","The letter of 30 January 1865 regards the purchase and keeping of slaves as well as the necessity of thrift during wartime. Terrill regards George's recent purchase of a slave and his employment of a private teacher for his children as too expensive. He provides much advice about slaves and maintaining a household. Terrill directs George to remember the example of his mother, who managed with few servants. He predicts the end of slavery by the time that George's children are grown. Terrill expects that the war will end soon, though he is still confident in a Confederate victory. He writes of politics and of his expectation that France and England will intervene in the war.","The letter of 10 February 1865 regards slaves, household management, and family news. Terrill mentions George's recent sale of two slaves and argues that he should have gotten a better price for them. He is concerned for his current situation, thanks George for sending money, but is determined to remain at home and resolved to resist the North until the end of the war. Terrill wishes to send copies of his tributes to James and Phillip to his brother, from whom he has had no news; he requests that George make copies and send them to various members of the family. Terrill expresses concern that George may join the army.","Permission to publish or reproduce is required from the copyright holder.

Topics include the military service of William Henry Terrill's sons; the effect of the war on the family personally; the sale, purchase, and keeping of slaves; and Terrill's support for the Southern cause, among others. Please note that William Henry Terrill is referred to as \"Terrill\" throughout the following; all other persons with the surname of Terrill are referred to by their first names. (1861, 1865; 5 letters consisting of 14 leaves and 27 pages)","The letter of 11 June 1861 from the addendum regards Terrill's service to the Confederate army as a \"high private\". Terrill complains of the conduct of a Colonel Smith. He also writes of the appointment of his sons James and Phillip as officers within the Confederate army. Terrill writes at length of the decision of his son William to side with the Union and how this has separated him from the family. Terrill also discusses the court martial of his daughter Emily's husband, George A. Porterfield, for his role in the Battle of Philippi. Terrill cautions George not to join the army, on account of his poor health.","The letter of 14 July 1861 regards news about Philip, who has been involved in fighting, and concern that he may have been killed. Terrill mentions a Colonel Heck who, like Philip, fought with Union troops near Beverly, (West) Virginia. Terrill also mentions his plans to travel to Charlottesville and Winchester. He writes of the justness of the Confederate cause and of the state of the military conflict.","The letter of 15 November 1861 regards the political and military situation in the South. Terrill predicts famine and scarcity due to the South being cut off from major agricultural suppliers. He is also concerned for his own financial situation. Terrill writes that he regrets he is too old to fight, but is comforted by the service of his sons. He also writes of his distress concerning William fighting for the North.","The letter of 30 January 1865 regards the purchase and keeping of slaves as well as the necessity of thrift during wartime. Terrill regards George's recent purchase of a slave and his employment of a private teacher for his children as too expensive. He provides much advice about slaves and maintaining a household. Terrill directs George to remember the example of his mother, who managed with few servants. He predicts the end of slavery by the time that George's children are grown. Terrill expects that the war will end soon, though he is still confident in a Confederate victory. He writes of politics and of his expectation that France and England will intervene in the war.","The letter of 10 February 1865 regards slaves, household management, and family news. Terrill mentions George's recent sale of two slaves and argues that he should have gotten a better price for them. He is concerned for his current situation, thanks George for sending money, but is determined to remain at home and resolved to resist the North until the end of the war. Terrill wishes to send copies of his tributes to James and Phillip to his brother, from whom he has had no news; he requests that George make copies and send them to various members of the family. Terrill expresses concern that George may join the army.","Permission to publish or reproduce is required from the copyright holder.

Topics include the military service of William Henry Terrill's sons; the effect of the war on the family personally; the sale, purchase, and keeping of slaves; and Terrill's support for the Southern cause, among others. Please note that William Henry Terrill is referred to as \"Terrill\" throughout the following; all other persons with the surname of Terrill are referred to by their first names. (1861, 1865; 5 letters consisting of 14 leaves and 27 pages)","The letter of 11 June 1861 from the addendum regards Terrill's service to the Confederate army as a \"high private\". Terrill complains of the conduct of a Colonel Smith. He also writes of the appointment of his sons James and Phillip as officers within the Confederate army. Terrill writes at length of the decision of his son William to side with the Union and how this has separated him from the family. Terrill also discusses the court martial of his daughter Emily's husband, George A. Porterfield, for his role in the Battle of Philippi. Terrill cautions George not to join the army, on account of his poor health.","The letter of 14 July 1861 regards news about Philip, who has been involved in fighting, and concern that he may have been killed. Terrill mentions a Colonel Heck who, like Philip, fought with Union troops near Beverly, (West) Virginia. Terrill also mentions his plans to travel to Charlottesville and Winchester. He writes of the justness of the Confederate cause and of the state of the military conflict.","The letter of 15 November 1861 regards the political and military situation in the South. Terrill predicts famine and scarcity due to the South being cut off from major agricultural suppliers. He is also concerned for his own financial situation. Terrill writes that he regrets he is too old to fight, but is comforted by the service of his sons. He also writes of his distress concerning William fighting for the North.","The letter of 30 January 1865 regards the purchase and keeping of slaves as well as the necessity of thrift during wartime. Terrill regards George's recent purchase of a slave and his employment of a private teacher for his children as too expensive. He provides much advice about slaves and maintaining a household. Terrill directs George to remember the example of his mother, who managed with few servants. He predicts the end of slavery by the time that George's children are grown. Terrill expects that the war will end soon, though he is still confident in a Confederate victory. He writes of politics and of his expectation that France and England will intervene in the war.","The letter of 10 February 1865 regards slaves, household management, and family news. Terrill mentions George's recent sale of two slaves and argues that he should have gotten a better price for them. He is concerned for his current situation, thanks George for sending money, but is determined to remain at home and resolved to resist the North until the end of the war. Terrill wishes to send copies of his tributes to James and Phillip to his brother, from whom he has had no news; he requests that George make copies and send them to various members of the family. Terrill expresses concern that George may join the army."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003ePermission to publish or reproduce is required from the copyright holder.

(correspondence)","Scrapbooks","This collection is open for research.","This collection is arranged into three series: Series 1. Correspondence, Series 2. Genealogy, Series 3. Notebooks, scrapbooks, photographs, and printed. The letters are arranged in chronological order under each family member. Correspondence between individuals is in separate folders because that was the original order of the collection.","This collection is centered on three prominent New England families, the Butler family of \"Round Oak\" Yonkers, New York (and according to family history related to Oliver Cromwell), the Terry family of Hartford, Connecticut (who was related to Governor William Bradford of Plymouth Rock and came over on the Mayflower in 1620), and the Collins family of Hartford, and New Haven, Connecticut, (who were settlers of Collinsville Illinois during westward expansion) in nineteenth century America.","The collection has many references to the American Civil War, and major events of the nineteenth century. The Collins family were strong abolitionists who helped free enslaved persons and celebrated when Illinois won against becoming an enslaved state.","The Butler family begins in this collection with Benjamin Franklin Butler (1795-1858) who was the Attorney General of the United States (1833-1838), appointed by President Andrew Jackson and was also a legal partner of Martin Van Buren. He founded New York University in 1831 and was regarded as one of the most successful cross-examiners of his day. He was married to Harriet Allen Butler and they had nine children.","His son was William Allen Butler (1825-1902) who was a lawyer and popular author of many books and poems. His most famous satirical book, \"Nothing to Wear\" was published in \"Harper's Weekly\" in 1857. He contributed travel and comic writing to \"The Literary World\" and wrote for the \"Democratic Review\". He married Mary Russell Marshall in 1850 and they had nine children including William Allen Butler, Jr. (1856-1921) and Howard Russell Butler (1856-1934), a well-known painter. William Allen Butler was on the cover of the \"New York Times Illustrated Weekly\" in 1897. He died at his residence, Round Oak, in Yonkers, New York.","William Allen Butler, Jr. was an attorney in New York, president of the Lawyer Club, and a graduate of Princeton University. He wrote law lectures and travelled to Europe for business. In 1840 he married Louise Terry Collins Butler (1856-1920) which joined the Terry, Collins, and Butler families together.  Louise Collins Butler wrote poetry, which is included in the collection.  They had five children, William Allen Butler, III, Lyman Collins Butler, Dr. Charles Terry Butler (1889-1980), Lydia Coit Dwight, and Louise Tracy Butler.","Louise Terry Collins Butler's parents were Charles Collins (1817-1891) and Mary Collins (1820-1900) who were married in 1840 and wrote to each other often when he was traveling for his father (Charles Collins) and grandfather's (Amos Collins) dry goods business (A.M. Collins and Sons and then Collins Brothers \u0026 Sons) in St. Louis, Missouri, Collinsville, Illinois, Charleston, South Carolina and Hartford, Connecticut. Before he was married, he wrote often to his parents asking for permission to buy land in Illinois like his uncles (who were successful in settling in Collinsville, Illinois), but they believed this was a plot to get rich quick and encouraged him to stay in business, which he did. Family members have recalled that \"Charles Collins was a courteous gentleman, of an exceedingly attractive personality. He was a man of active mind and fluent speech.\" He was described as speaking with animation and eloquence in defending his beliefs. He did not attend college, but he was an enthusiastic advocate of new and rational theological thought. He and his wife Mary Hall Terry Collins \"were very much interested in the genealogic record of the Collins family. Mary Hall Terry Collins, was the daughter of Eliphalet Terry (famous for promoting Hartford Insurance Company after the great fire in New York in 1835) and the granddaughter of Judge Eliphalet Terry who was a County Court Judge and direct descendant of Governor William Bradford of Plymouth Rock.","Louise Butler's siblings were Lydia Coit Ketcham (1844-1936), Reverend Charles Terry Collins (1845-1883), Clarence Lyman Collins (1848-1922), and Arthur Morris Collins (1851-1861).","Reverend Charles Terry Collins, brother of Louise Collins Butler was a graduate of Yale during the American Civil War, and a Reverend at Plymouth Church in Cleveland, Ohio.  In 1883, at the age of 38, the young minister on a visit home to see his father and mother, suddenly died in his father's arms as he got off the train. Family genealogy records describe the reverend after his death, \"The Cleveland journals regarded his death as \"not only a crushing private grief, but a public calamity.\" He was married to Mary Abby Wood. Their children were Charles Collins (b.1873), Clarence Collins (b. 1875), Mary Terry Collins (b. 1877), and Arthur Morris Collins (b.1880).","Reverend Charles Collins' father, and Charles Terry Collins grandfather, Amos Morris Collins, was the son of William Collins (1760-1847) and Esther Morris Collins. Amos Collins built one of the first successful dry goods business in New England. It was called A. M. Collins \u0026 Sons. It was so successful that it was able to help the banks and other community members after the American Civil War. Amos Morris Collins' brothers, Augustus Collins, Anson Collins, Michael Collins, Frederick Collins, and William Collins bought land in Illinois, where they moved their business, and named the town Collinsville. Amos Collins stayed at the store in New Haven. Reverend Dr. Bushnell, who was a close friend of Amos Collins and minister of his church, wrote about him, \"There is almost nothing here that has not somehow felt his power, nothing good which has not somehow profited by his beneficence.\"","The Butler, Collins, and Terry families descended from patriots of the American Revolutionary War and were members of the Daughters and Sons of the American Revolutionary War. The women in the collection, Harriet Allen Butler, Mary Russell Marshall Butler, Mary Lyman Collins, Lydia Coit Terry, Mary Hall Terry Collins, and Louise Terry Collins Butler played a prominent role in their households, were confidantes of their husbands, and maintained prominent social responsibilities. They were skilled in the orchestrations of sophisticated urban life and the hard work required for early American lifestyles.","These three families were raised with puritan upbringings which gave them a solid foundation of good principles but what is most notable is that they lived their lives with kindness and charity towards each other and their communities. This characterizes many of the letters in this collection.","This collection was donated by Leslie Middleton who is the granddaughter of Dr. Charles Terry Butler, and  great-granddaughter of Louise Terry Collins Butler (1856-1921) and William Allen Butler, Jr.","Sources:\nWood, Steven, \"The Writing of Steven Wood Collins:- Author of \"Puramore\", \"Lute of Pythagoras\", Steven Wood Collins Blog, Good Reads,,Published on May 26, 2015 \nhttps://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4524514.Steven_Wood_Collins/blog/tag/edward-collins","\"Full text of \"The Collins family; Genealogical record (in part) of the descendants of John Collins, Sr., from 1640 to 1760; a complete record of the descendants of William Collins and Esther Morris, from 1760 to 1897\", Internet Archive. retrieved 9/22/21 \nhttps://archive.org/stream/collinsfamilygen00coll/collinsfamilygen00coll_djvu.txt","Moore, Ensley. \"The Collins Family and Connections.\" Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society (1908-1984) 12, no. 1 (1919): 58–70. http://www.jstor.org/stable/40187075.","Butler, William Allen, \"Retrospect of Forty Years, 1825-1865\", New York, Charles Scribner and Sons, 1911.

Their correspondence, genealogy, photographs, and journals compile a historical collection, vast in size and informative of American life in the nineteenth century.","It contains over three hundred letters written when family members were attending Yale or Princeton during the American Civil War. There are over four thousand letters which show the close relationships between the families and their strong religious faith. Descendants from Puritans, the families' letters reveal a gentle kindness and firm guidance, particularly from parents to their children and a strong nostalgia for each other's company. Letters about the loss of loved ones show grief and pain but also an accepting attitude towards death and a reassuring belief that the spirit reclaimed their loved ones. A few of the letters highlight rare events such as divorce and alcoholism. There are some letters describing westward expansion (to Illinois). The letters mention some of the major events of the nineteenth century as well as an opportunity to look through history and learn more about each one of the family members and their community.","Many of the members in these families made a name for themselves in the field of law. Benjamin Franklin Butler was the Attorney General of the United States and the law partner of Martin Van Buren under President Andrew Jackson and some of his papers are in this collection. He was also a founder of New York University. His son, William Allen Butler was also a well-respected attorney, President of the American Bar Association, and a prolific author and poet. His novel \"Nothing to Wear\" was known as a popular, classic satire. There is a bibliographic list of his books, and the publications can be found in our holdings. There is also a copy of the \"New York Times Illustrated Weekly\" where he is featured on the cover in 1897.","William Allen Butler, Jr. was also an attorney in New England, President of the Lawyer Club, and a graduate of Princeton University. Included in the collection are his lectures and rowing, fishing, and Princeton scrapbooks as well as his property books, and office and travel journals. He married Louise Terry Collins in 1884 bringing the Butler and Collins families together. There are letters from \"Will and Louise\" while he courted her for several years, but she wanted to maintain her independence a few years longer. She was also a poet and many of her lines of poetry are in the collection. Also included are their handwritten wedding vows and affectionate letters throughout their marriage. William Allen Butler, Jr. traveled to Europe often and sailed on the RMS Mauretania (the sister ship to the Lusitania that was sunk by a German torpedo). Louise Butler also traveled and there are letters written on stationery from the Hamburg-Amerika line. There are also letters from William Allen Butler, Jr. to and about his brother Howard Russell Butler (1856-1934) who was an American painter and founder of the American Fine Arts Society. There are also photographs in William Allen Butler, Jr.'s scrapbook, \"The Victoria Luise\" of men constructing the Panama Canal.","Louise Terry Collins Butler's parents, Charles and Mary Hall Terry Collins also wrote to each other often during their courtship, married life, which included the time of the American Civil War. They also wrote letters about the \"Panic of 1857\"; the Midwest and the South, and politics. The Collins family were strong abolitionists who tried to help free enslaved persons and fought for Illinois to become a free state. The letters do not mention any details about enslaved persons but are more related to family and politics in general. The letters also describe travel to Collinsville, Illinois, Jacksonville, and St. Louis, Missouri, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Charleston South Carolina where Charles Collins Sr. attended to business for his family dry goods store in New England. Their son, Charles Terry Collins, Jr. wrote to them about the Civil War while he was a student at Yale. He attended Andover Theological Seminary and became a reverend at Plymouth Church in Cleveland, Ohio. He exchanged letters with his parents and siblings every week usually on Sundays. Many of his letters have hand illustrated, intricate, and personal sketches that describe the contents of his letters. He expresses his honest feelings and self-doubts about schoolwork and preaching which he eventually masters. Their other son, Clarence Collins attended College Hill School in Poughkeepsie, New York and succeeded his father in his dry goods store, \"Collins, Kellog \u0026 Kerbe\" and \"Collins, Atwater \u0026 Whitten\" (Collins Brothers \u0026 Sons). He married (Marie) Louise Clark who divorced him, leaving the care of their little girl, Edith Collins, with his mother Mary Hall Terry Collins and his sisters, Lillie Collins Ketcham, and Louise Terry Collins Butler. Edith Collins later married (and divorced) a Turkish diplomat Rechid Bey (Count Czaykowsi) and became Countess Czaykowski who lived in Paris and there are letters from her in the collection.","There are scrapbooks, and journals documenting the lives of these intertwining members of these families. There are also extensive genealogy notes and family trees in the collection tracing their ancestors. There is an Oxford family bible (1851 Oxford University Press, England) with handwritten family names. Printed books on the families 'genealogies and novels written by William Allen Butler are in the printed part of our collections. There is information about the family being members of the Colonial Dames Society of the American Revolutionary War and the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolutionary War. There are also well identified photographs of the various members of these noted American families of Butler, Collins, and Terry. Some of their portraits are housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.","Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["William Allen Butler

Their correspondence, genealogy, photographs, and journals compile a historical collection, vast in size and informative of American life in the nineteenth century.","It contains over three hundred letters written when family members were attending Yale or Princeton during the American Civil War. There are over four thousand letters which show the close relationships between the families and their strong religious faith. Descendants from Puritans, the families' letters reveal a gentle kindness and firm guidance, particularly from parents to their children and a strong nostalgia for each other's company. Letters about the loss of loved ones show grief and pain but also an accepting attitude towards death and a reassuring belief that the spirit reclaimed their loved ones. A few of the letters highlight rare events such as divorce and alcoholism. There are some letters describing westward expansion (to Illinois). The letters mention some of the major events of the nineteenth century as well as an opportunity to look through history and learn more about each one of the family members and their community.","Many of the members in these families made a name for themselves in the field of law.

He was made Captain in the Virginia Navy in 1799 and transferred to the newly formed U.S. Navy in 1803. During the War with Tripoli he commanded the U.S. Frigates New Yorkand Presidentwhen his brother, Commodore Samuel Barron, was commander of the Mediterranean Squadron. He assisted his brother in that command when the latter's health failed and returned with him to Norfolk in 1805.","Appointed Commander of the Mediterranean Squadron in 1806 with the rank of Commodore, which title he retained for the rest of his life, he sailed aboard the U.S. Chesapeake.The British ship Leopardattacked the Chesapeakewhen Barron refused to allow his ship to be boarded in a search for British deserters. After a brief battle, Barron surrendered and on the request of his junior officers he was brought before a Naval court martial. The command was turned over to Capt. Stephen Decatur who in the Algerian War of 1815 became a national hero. Barron was suspended from the Navy for five years in a decision criticized by many, including B. Cocke of Washington and Robert Saunders of Williamsburg.","Barron took command of the merchant ship Portia, and after several voyages was caught in a Danish port by the outbreak of the War of 1812. He attempted to get passage home but was refused it because of the Danish neutrality and remained in Copenhagen until 1819. During this period he supported himself with his inventions including a new type of mill, a rope spinning machine, a cork cutter, and a dough kneading machine. Upon his return he sought a command in the Navy and in the course of this an argument by mail with Decatur resulted in the famous duel in which Barron was seriously injured and Decatur fatally. His second in the duel, Capt. J. D. Elliott was coupled with Barron in responsibility for the duel, though perhaps unfairly.","A Naval Court of Enquiry was held in 1821 to clear the name of Barron for his absence in the War of 1812 and other charges brought against him. The decision was very noncommittal and was criticized by many, including Carter Beverley and John Taliaferro of Williamsburg.","In 1824, Barron was given the command of the Philadelphia Navy Yard, largely through the influence of his friend, General Andrew Jackson. While there he participated in the entertaining of General Lafayette when he visited the U.S.","Commodore Barron took command of the Gosport Navy Yard in 1825 where he remained until 1831 when he returned to the command of the Philadelphia Navy Yard. In 1837, he resigned that command because an officer junior to him had been appointed President of the Naval Board in Washington, and was without command until 1842. From 13 March to 30 November 1842 he commanded the Navy Asylum, a retirement home for Naval men in Philadelphia. In that position he was also in charge of the training and examination of Midshipmen for the Navy, and his advice was asked when plans were being made for organization of the Naval Academy at Annapolis in 1847. In 1845, he returned to Norfolk where he lived in retirement until his death in 1851.","During all this time he continued his interest in inventions which included a new type of pump and bellows ventilator for ships, a steam-powered battleship, a new type of dry dock, and a cylinder steam for ships developed with Amos Kendali. He was instrumental in the development of the Naval flag signal, which he first revised in 1798.","Commodore Barron supported the education of his grandson, James Barron Hope, whose early letters, a poem on Washington, and other poems are included at the end of Box 11.
