During the Winter and Spring of 1943 letters and questionnaireswere sent to all Clan members on the subject of the Clan ServiceF lag. T o dat e we have had a very good response and questionnairesare being sent in every few days. The membership list was carefullychecked and .where there were several members in the same familyin most cases only one letter was sent , in order to save postage.Wh ere there was any doubt as to address, such as a large,city withno street address, the letter was sent first class mail. Thirteen ofthese letters sent first class have been returned unclaimed. Manyquestionnaires have come back giving a new address of the memberand some have report ed a member as having passed away . I wiIIwrite to these and get dates on the deaths for our record s. A ClanYear Book is being carefully checked as to these changes beingreport ed. A list of changes will be made and sent to the Treasurerand Chieftain,

On e hundred and seventy names have been report ed for ourService Flag. Three have given their lives: Jones James Briscoe,Cadet, U.S.M.A., Army, Louisville, Kentucky, sent in by JulietRile Gallaher.

ESCAPE FROM SINGA PORE *

35

The writer of the follow ing letter is a young American officer**who bears the name of a family that has been represented in the Armyfor more than eighty years. Th e lett er was addressed to the youngman's father, who is a colonel in the Coast Artillery Corps . Itswriter was a R eserve officer employed at the Singapore branch ofan A merican bank until late in 1941 when he was called to activeduty as an assistant military observer. A t the same time he keptup his bank wor k because of the importance of evacuating all pos­sible strategic supplies.

Th e letter has been edited to remove int imat e family remarks andtighten up the narrative. Oth erwise it is w hat this American officerwrote of his experiences in a zone overrun by the Japanese. Theletter was written from A ustralia in A pril.

It was about the time of my last letter [the midd le of January]that I decided , from what I could see and also from what I knew inthe Military Observer' s office, that the time would come when itwould be a healthy thing to get out of Singapore. I also decidedthat when that time came the best and safest way would be in asmall boat. As you know , I was already the part owner of a twenty­three foot sailboat, so I got together with the other owners and wemade plans and began to get stores and charts together.

Both were hard to come by. All canned goods were rationedand there were severe penalties for hoarding. And charts werehard to get for obvious reasons. But we managed to get tog etherenough food for a week which we buri ed, and I got charts fromthe Admiralty.

The rest of our stay in Singapore was a matter of dodging bombsand otherwise trying to keep healthy. Looking back on it now,it seems like a sort of dangerous game. It did add a zest of livingand kept our interest aroused, if nothin g else. I'm not trying to befunny or brag when I say that. It is quite true. After the first few

raid s on a city you get over being scared and it becomes a game tofigure out a day's schedule ahead of time so that you won't be aroundwhen the Japs come over, and otherwise staying out of harm's way.

All the time we heard about the Japs coming nearer and neareruntil finally they were just acro ss the Straits from the island. Aboutthat time the bank decided it was time for the staff to get out , so wearranged with one of the English banks to take over our holdings.Up to that time I was working on the schedule as outlined in myearlier letter-that is, halftime with the bank and the rest of theday and a good part of the night with the Army. The only thinggood about it was that I was getting paid for both. Anyway, thebank 's affair s were practically all cleaned up when the Japs arrivedacross the Straits and the rest of the bank staff got on a boat andheaded for India, leaving me behind to finish up a few odds and endsand then become "Army" fulltime.

The Japs landed on Singapore I sland on a Sunday night. Theylaid down an overwhelming ar tillery barrage and followed thiswith dive-bombing attacks. One of the officers in the militaryobserve r's office had been through the last war. H e said that it wasbigger than anything he had ever heard in France. W e expected,after we heard that the landing had taken place, that the Japswould get the hell beaten out of them. But when they hadn 'tbeen thrown off the island by Monday night it was obvious to every­one who had any idea of what was what that the place was due tofall. We were convinced of it and said so in the cables to W ash­ington, hoping tha t they would get the idea there and give usorders to get out. It was a ticklish spot to be in becau se we weresupposedly attac hed to the British GHQ who were far more hopefulthan we were . And we couldn' t ju st go up and tell them we thoughtthe game was over. Somebody, however, solved the pr oblem veryneatly by ordering us to Burma "using any feasible route."

I got hold of the other owners of the boat and went down tothe yacht club to make final preparati ons. The only thing thatprevented us from getting out at once was that our boat had beenhit by a bomb fragment and was under water . 'vVe managed to pullher up on the beach and patched her up so she would stay afloatuntil the next bomb came too close. That took us until Tuesday

night. And since boats were not allowed to move in the harborafter dark it meant we would have to wait until just before duskW ednesday before we could shove off. W e didn't want to besailing during the daytime, both because of possible machin e-gunningand because we would be burned crisp by the sun.

That last night on the island was really something. Frankly, Iwas too scared to sleep, or at least to take off my clothes. I couldn'thave slept anyway because of al1 the noise and confusion. We livedat about the center of the island , and on that parti cular night theJaps drove a deep penetration into the island. The penetration waslater corrected by a partly successful counterattack by the English.The next day was spent in the usual manner-mostly in trencheswhen the Japs came over, and they were over about every half hour.About three in the afternoon we dug our food up and went downto the yacht 'club and loaded everything aboard and set sail justbefore five. W e plann ed to sail al1 night and lay up on one of thethousands of smal1 island s that ar e south of Singapore during theday.

'vVe were only about a mile off shore when the Japs came in witha terr ible raid on the harb or shipping. W e were lucky that we hadgotten out when we did. W e sailed along beautiful1y for about anhour and a half . By that time it was dark and we felt so safe wewere enjoying beer and watching Singapore behind us, a mass offlames and smoke, when sudde nly shots ra ng out over us, comingfrom one of the Dutch oil islands just ahead of us. We yel1edand screamed and waved from the deck in the dusk when some moreshots whistled and skipped fairly close to us. It was apparent thatthe Dutch didn 't want us coming any nearer , or even to movearo und out there in the dark, becau se still more shots whistlednear when we turned and tr ied to sail aro und the island . But theywere either bad shots or not serio us about it because they fired abouttwenty rounds of rifle fire and none hit either us or the boat thoughwe were only about five hundred yards away. ' Ve pul1ed downthe sail nad th rew out the anchor and that seemed to satisfy theDut ch because they stopped shooting. W e tri ed to yell to them butwe 'were too far out to be heard . So we settled down to somemore beer and food and watched Singapore (now about ten miles

behind us) burn and explode. It is impossible to describe the sight;the nearest I can come to it would be to have you picture Holl y­wood's idea of a real catast rophe in one of their "s uper-epics." Itwas awful and it was unreal, and I am certain no one could everimagine it in the wildest imagination. It may sound silly to sayit , but even now that it' s over and done with , it doesn't seem realto me.

Sometime du ring that night the big British guns on Singaporeopened up against what I am convinced was a feeler on the partof the Japs for a dir ect frontal assault by sea. I was looking back­as all of us were-at the awesome spectacle of Singapore burningwhen one of the almost hundreds of British sear chlights pickedup a small warship and all the rest of the lights converged on it .Then the big British guns spoke from the shore batteries and in afew minut es that warship was literally blown out of the water.Since then, I've always though that the Japs were trying to find outif the coast defenses were as poor as the rest of the defenses. Theyweren' t. And I imagine the Japs called off the rest of a fairly sizablefleet that must have been in those waters. The thing that made itso unreal to us was that we were far enough away not to hearanything but the cras h of the really heavy bombs and big guns,and those were only booms when they reached us. There couldhave been no gr eater contrast than the contrast between those noisesand the peaceful lappin g of the waves against the sides of our boat.But the quietness of our position finally made us all fall asleep.

. Dawn came quickly and we sailed- over to the pier of the littleDutch island. The Dutch apologized for firing on us, but explainedthat they weren' t taking any chances. They were getting ready toset fire to the oil storage tanks, and said that they were leaving assoon as they had done that and that they would be glad to have uscome along with them. W e had just accepted when a launch cameover from Singapore filled with Englishmen who had no idea ofwhere they were going and had no charts to go there even if theyhad known. W e traded our charts for the r ight to come along withthem.

But first we helped the Dutch with their final preparations forfiring the island and all the while Jap planes ~ere circling overhead.

YEAR BOOK AMERICA N CLA N GREGOR S OCI ET Y 39

Nobody paid much attention to them because all the way down thePenin sula they had never attacked oil storage tanks, seeminglybecause they hoped to capture them intact. \Ve finally got off inour boat and watched well over a million barrels of oil and gasolinego up in smoke. When the Jap planes saw the smoke fromthe tanks they began to att ack the tanks and the men left on theisland. I saw two Jap dive-bombers dive on a tank just as the tankexploded. The two planes were simply swallowed up in the flames.

W e laid offshore for a while and then went on. During the daywe crui sed past thousand s of little island s that lie south and westof Singapore on the way to Sumatra. By night we had passedthrough all these island s and had a stretch of about sixty miles ofopen water to sail to reach the Sumatran coast. W e tri ed to finda place to land for the night but there was much too much cora laround and we were afraid the tide might catch the boats and leaveus high and dry . So we set a course and started out. The seawas calm and the night black. E ven from where we were now,almost sixty miles from Singapore, we could still see the flames inthe sky, and the smoke all but blott ed out the stars . During thenight we were nearly run down by a steamer that came tearing upfrom behind us. Both ships were completely blacked out. Yo u canimagine how black the night was when I tell you that I am con­vinced the other ship never saw us at all, and we didn't see himuntil he was just a few hundred feet from us. W e didn't dare hailhim because that is a tri ck submarines use and we were afraid hemight open fire on us.

Morning found us, surprisingly, right where we expected wewould be, and we thought it would be easy from there on. Butthat was wishful thinking, for an hour after dawn, while we werestill twenty miles out but in sight of shore, the engine suddenly quit.It had been running almost continuously for twenty-four hours andwas only meant to be used for short jaunts, so we weren' t surprised.W e drifted and paddled to one of those nati ve fishing bagas-housesbuilt on poles driven into the bed of the sea. They are not in deepwater although they seem to be in the middle of the ocean, becausethe natives pick shoals and river mouths to build them in. Thisone was twenty miles out from land.

40 YEAR BOOK AMERICAN CLA N GREGOR SOCIETY

W e tried to get the engine going but without success. The nativesseemed to enjoy watching us coming out of the engine pit wringingwet with sweat. They jabbered and laughed and giggled at us.Finally we gave up the engin e, and decided to get one of the nativesto sail us in a sampan to the nearest town on Sumatra. BecauseI was in un iform it was decided that I and another one of us wouldgo. There was only room for two. We approached the natives,only to find out that they were all insane-probably the result ofintermarriage and incest. Eighteen of them lived in that ordinary­sized house perched on sticks in the water. For the better part oftwo hours we tried to get them to be sensible and listen to what wewere saying. Mon ey didn 't mean a thing to them; I took off myinsignia, polished them on my sleeve and offered them , but all theydid was giggle and laugh. W e finally got hungry and one of ourfellows brought out a can of H einz 's baked beans. Just as soon asthe sort of elder of the baga saw that can he came up and saidthat he knew a store where he could buy more. Then he began tolaugh again, but finally we managed to get him to see that we wantedto buy some more and that he ought to show us where the place was.It worked.

I' ve never been on such a ride in my life. The water was choppyand right up to within an inch of the gunwa le of the sampan.The old man sat in the back of the thin g and laughed and giggledall the way. It took us from nine in the morning till eleven thatnight to get to the town. Every now and then the old fool seemedto be crazier than before and would turn the boat around and startsailing in an entirely different direction. Seve ral times I thoughtseriously of shooting him, but then we would bring the can of beansout and he would come to his senses and head back towards shoreagain. That rid e was the only time on the trip that I ever gotpanicky or really worried. W e couldn't be sure of the native andI couldn't help but imagine he was trying to put us in the handsof the Japs. H owever , he finally got us to the little town , wherewe went up to see the Dutch cont roller , who immediately put alaunch at our disposal with which we could go and get the other sout on the baga . We got back to them ju st at dawn . In themeantime a Royal Navy tug had gone by the baga . All our fellowsbut one had got aboard it. T his one fellow said he had a hunch

YEAR BOOK AMERICAN CLAN GREGOR SO CIETY 41

and he was certainly right. F or later that tug ran smack into theJap fleet att acking P alembang.

After getting back to shore we arranged for the launch to takeus up the river a littl e further to T embilahan, which was the nearestplace with any communication outside and a place for us to get somesleep. From there we hired another launch to go about eighty milesup the river to a place called Rin gat , which was the nearest placethat had any transport ation bigger than a river laun ch. H ere wehired a car and started out for the south of Sumatra with theidea of trying to get to Java. W e had gone about a thi rd of theway when we were stopped and told that the Japs had land edparatroops at Palembang and that we would go on only at our ownrisk. \Ve decided to try and make it. H owever, about nine o'clockthat night we were stopped again , and the commandant of the Dutchtr oops told me that the Japs were about thirty miles down th e roadand across it .

That was enough. W e turned aro und and headed back towardPadang, the near est seaport. Th e Dutch had thrown up roadblocksabout every fifty miles or less, and at each place I would get outand see the commander and get what information I could. Theonly thing they knew was that the Japs were " just thi rty milesdown the road. " \Ve didn't stop for thirty-six hours and finallyreached Padang. T hat was the wildest motor ride I have everhad-over some of the worst roads in ex istence, over mountainscover ed with mist and the jungle reaching right down to the edgeof the trail.

At Padang I wired Java and asked for instructions. T he answerwasn' t very helpful. It said that I could go anywhere I wanted to,but to get out of Sumatra. After two days I went down to theharbor with the idea of seeing what I could do about hiring orbuying some sort of a fisherm an' s boat to sail us down to Java. Iwas in the office of the Dutch naval commander of the port whenhe told me that a des troyer was coming to take off some of theBriti sh. F rom there on in it was easy . T wo hundred and sixty- twoof us piled on that destroyer and slept and stayed on deck for twonight s and a day. I t was luxurious compared to what we hadbeen through and I take my hat off to th e British Navy. Th ey

handled that ship beauti fully. There was a lifesaver for every personon board and they served three hot meals a day. We five Americanswho were aboard sent the ward room a gift after we reached Batavia .But I'm afraid it is down at the bottom of the sea now. The destroyerwent down in the Batt le of Java.

We didn't stay long in Java. We left there the last day ofFebru ary and came to Australia without any trouble. A Jap planeflew over for an hour ju st at sunset on the first day out, but evident lythose to whom he radioed our position missed us in the night.

I can't tell you exactly where I am in Australia. As you canimagine, I am tickled to death with my work and, if I do say somyself, am pretty proud to be where I am. The hour s are longand we work seven days a week, but we are gett ing things doneand are somewhere on the way to getting the whole mess cleaned up.

The people here have really welcomed us with open arms. I neverthought any people could be so hospitable.

When Ned married she lavished her love, loyalty and devo­tion upon his family, and helped in the rearing of his children.

Early in 1930 the family moved to H yatt sville where Miss Hillmade her home with her nephew, William Wil son Hill, 2nd, andhis widowed mother , Catherine Coad H ill. It was from their homeon Gallatin Street that Miss Hill was taken to Sibley H ospital.

Miss Hill was the last surv ivor of her generation which num ­bered seven sisters and brother s and many first cousins. H ers wasa character wor thy of the esteem and love in which she was and willalways be held by those with whom she came in contact.

Charles Wright Geddes, and her young nieces and nephews.While at school with the Sisters of St. Vincent she was confirmedin old St. P atrick's Catholi c Church during the pastorate of FatherWalters.

She was a great reader and kept up with current magazines andnewspaper s until the last. Sh e was also deeply interested in politicsand was a Democrat , as her father was.

A devout Catholi c from birth, she was true to the teachings andrequirement s of her church. Mass was said for the repose of hersoul at St. Jerome's in Hyattsville. She rests in Mt, Olivet Ceme­tery with the hallowed remains of her immediate family.

She is surv ived by one nephew, eight great nephews, ten nieces,six grand nieces and thr ee great grand nephews.

BRIGADIER-GENERAL JOHN MAGRUDER

From Richmond Tim es-Dispatch, May 28, 1944

Brigadier-General J ohn Magruder, graduate of Virginia MilitaryIn stitute and former pr ofessor of military science and tactics there,has been designat ed by the War Department as its official spokes­man for day-to-day int erpretation of developments in the impend­ing European invasion for the assistan ce of 'Washington newsmen.

The veteran combat officer of two W orld Wars has been calledto W ashington for service as official military analyst of the PublicRelations Bureau of the War Department.

The post , of inestimable aid to newsmen covering the war newsfrom Wa shington, has been vacant for several months since ColonelFrancis V. Fitzgerald , former newspaperman with arm y serv icesince 1917, who had served in that capacity since P earl H arbor, wasordered to foreign duty.

Recently returned from the Asiatic theater, General Mag ruder hasbeen given offices in the P entagon Building near the newsmen'swork room where he will be available for weighing, evaluating andinterpreting news developments.

Furnishing of background material and explanation of tacticsand strategy is a tough assignment , but with a record of 35 years ofactive duty in As ia and Europe to draw on General Magruder waschosen as one well qualified to fill the bill.

To his new duti es he also brings experience as former chief of theMilitary Intelligence Branch of the arm y.

With "Dvday" approaching, the lack of a readily available sourceof background interpretation was recognized by th e department asa handicap to newsmen covering the department, and General Ma­gruder 's appointment resulted from a petition of the recently or­ganized W ar and Navy Department Corr espondents' Assoc iation.

A graduate of VMI, which also gave General George C. Marshallto the army, General Magruder's army career, begun in 1910, hascovered a wide range.

H e was a major of field artillery in the St. Miheil battl e in F ranceand later served at Genera l Pershing's headquarters in Chaumontwith the chief of artillery.

We ll known in Washington because of prio r service here, hewas first attached to the War Department General Staff in 1920with the war plans and military intelligence divisions.

Later he was named military attac he at Peki ng, China, for fouryears, returning to China in the same capacity after several yearsof "schooling" in this country.

In 1932 he returned to the United States and two years laterwas named professor of military science and tactics at VM I.

W hen that tour ended in 1935, he was appointed military attacheat Bern, Switzerland, returning to Washington in 1939 to becomechief of the Intelligence Branch.

In that assignment, he maintained closest possible touch with mili­tary events throughout the world.

ELIZABETH (LYONS ) MAGRUDER AND HER FAMILY

By Her Great-Grandson, KENNETH DANN MAGRUDER,

In journeying between Magruder 's Mills and Paris, Virginia,Ninian Magruder, son of First Lieutenant Samuel Brew er Ma­gruder of "Samuel's Delight " in Maryland, naturaIIy crossedAshby 's Gap on the Winchester turnpike. There was located thefamily of James Lyons, builder of a Methodist church on his farm.My father, James William Magruder (son of Thomas JeffersonMagruder of Ohio ) , noted, " Elizabeth Lyons born at Mt. Carmel,Frederick Co., Va ., Jan. 30, 1797"; and littl e Mt : Carmel Church,which has been standing at Ashby's Gap ever since that early date,is the house of worship built "with a little help" by Elizabeth'sfather. Th e ruins of an old home on the opposite side of the roadprobabl y mark her birthplace. My fath er recorded also, " Convertedin M. E. Ch., 1811." Ninian Magruder entered in his FamilyBible, "Ninian Magruder and Elizabeth Lyons was Joind in Matri­mony the 10th day of Nov'" 1814 By the Reverent Thomas Little­ton," formerly an Epi scopalian, but at that time a Methodi st preacher.Thi s marriage established a new precedent for the Magruder familyby introducing Methodism to this line of Epi scopalians. "ElizabethMagruder whose maden name Lyons was Born the 30th day 0'

January 1797," her husband wrote in his Bible. She had been edu­cated in an academy of the Church.

Referring to Townsend Magruder, his half-brother James LyonsMagruder remarked, "The eldest son was just the age of my mother,both born in 1797." Th e source of James Lyons Magruder 's givennames of cour se is evident. He commented about Ninian's twowives, "I don't know about his first wife but his second was a verydevout Christian woman." The marriage occurred "in FrederickCounty, Va., " he said. . Th e picture of this second wife supportsthe statement of my cousin James Milton Johnson that "she borethe marks of a beautiful woman in her old age." Placidity andgoodness obviously marked her character.

Cousin "Milt" Johnson wrote of "having spent hours listeningto Aunt Mary and Mother talking over their childhood days ." Hismother was Sarah Ann, Ninian Magruder's eldest child by his sec-

56 YEAR B OOK AMERI CAN CLAN G REGOR S OCI ETY

ond wife. James Lyons Magruder was Eli zabeth Lyons' secondchild . While remini scing in the letter of June 8, 1926, Cousin Miltwrote:

"Another incident relat ed -to me by moth er- no doubt receivedin turn from Grandmother . When Sa rah (my mother ) was -an in­fant in arms her moth er started out on hor seback carrying the baby- a feat I think not uncomm on in tho se days. After going somedistance the horse took fright and ran off, making it impossible forthe rid er to bring .the horse under control and hold the baby se­curel y at th e same tim e ; so as a last resort she swung the babydown to the grass at the side of the road , not knowing whether everybone in her body would be broken or not : she soon brought thehor se und er control, and retracing her course , found the child nothurt in the least."

Dr. James William Magruder of Me chanicsburg, Ohio, wrote tome in 1924:

" F ather was on the farm about ten years ago ... H e left the trainat Boyce on the N & \ V RR. and drove some 12 miles to the place.Ther e was a man by the name of Jack Shaffer living on th e ad join­ing farm at that tim e, but he is pr obably dead now for he was a veryold man then. The place is not known as the Magruder farm byanyone in those parts, unless it migh t be thi s Mr. Shaffer's people.No ne of the old buildings remain ed beyond the ru ins of an oldblack-smith shop and the dwelling. The mill had burned and beenreplaced by another ."

My cous in 's father was handicapped by having to reach the placefrom a rai lroad station, far from Berry' s F erry. I drove severalmiles over the rough mountain road from Mt , Carmel Church, aboutthe same dista nce that Ashby's Gap is from Paris. Therefore, I canpicture the locations given at the beginning of the following partsof James Lyon s Magruder's story :

" . . . I was six or seven years old, and was staying at my Grand­fath er Lyons' who lived half way between Paris and our place.H e too had a blacksmith shop at Ashby's Gap on the Winchesterand Alexander Pike, one mile from Buries' F erry.

YEAR BOOK A MERICAN CLAN G REGOR SOCIETY 57

"There I saw the worst sight I ever saw-a long chain stre tchedand with a horse at each end and with five hundred slaves, that hadbeen brought up in that section, handcuffed to that chain. Suchscreams and car rying on, I never heard-husbands and wives, par ­ents and childre n, and friends being separated to be sent to NewOrleans to serve under hard task masters.

"When we left the farm we had three slaves-Aunt Nan, herson and daughter , who was near my age. She and I were nursedtogether, generally by one moth er while the other was at her work.Mother was opposed to slavery and treated the slaves well, butfather was not-he was very positive with them, and made themknow their places.

"W hen we came back the boy and girl were both gone-we neversaw them again. And Brother Richard had gone with the slavedrivers to New Orleans to oversee those negroes at $2. per day.That was quite an inducement to a young man who was just at theage to strike out for himself. H e stayed there severa l years. T helast we heard of him he was on a boat going up the Misso ur i R iver,and he was not very well-he said he was going up in north Mis­souri to buy some of that cheap land. T hat was the last we everheard from him, and that must have been in 1828 or 1829."

James Milton J ohnson, wr iting to me on Nove mber 4, 1924, con­tributed add itional information apropos of the subject of liquor :

" I have heard my mother say she had to walk three miles to schoolduring a por t ion of her childhood. I have also heard her relate thatone teacher she had- a very able man when sober-was a greatdrunkar d, and that on one occasion when he was too much stupe­fied with liquor to resent it, the big boys of the school tied him tohis desk, or perhaps it was to some of the benches where he wasobliged to remai n until he was sober . Ano ther drinking sto ry ofthat day was that my grandfa ther's house was a stopp ing place forthe preac hers,-for that branch of the Mag ruder family becameMethodis t after they became affiliated with the Lyons family, notbefore- and that Rev. T homas Littleton whose name appears asthe officiating minister at the marriage of Ninian Mag ruder andElizabeth Lyo ns, when star ting for the Sunday morning service

would step to the sideboard, and help himself to a horn of peachbrandy contained in a decanter there , made at the Magruder dis­tillery, and noted for its excellent quality; all this for a stimulantso necessary ( ?) to a feeble old man who was having to preach andconduct a service."

More tales about life at Magruder's Mills were told by JamesLyons Magruder, as follows:

"About 1829 my great grandfather Lyons came from Fairfax toF rederick, now Clark Co., Va., to visit his son J ames, my grandfather.He rode forty miles on horseback in one day. H e was then aboutninety-five, and he came three miles farther (on horseback) to visitus. H e came one day and went back the next. But before leavinghe said, 'Now Betsey, call the family, and we will have prayers.'Mother called them in, slaves and all. It seemed as if he had learn edall our names although that was the only time he ever visited us.H e commenced by asking God's blessing on father, mother, Mary,Sarah, James, Caroline, W illiam, Amanda, and so on clear through,not neglecting Aunt Nan . . . I t was so impressive that I never forgotit. He then put on his green baize leggins, tied with green braid,­there was one large pin above and two below the knee. He nextput on his long overcoat, and got on his horse, from the ground,nearly as act ive as a young man.

"... Mary Ann ... was not a natural leader while Sarah was.So she took the lead and managed the rest of the children to relievemother, and Mary preferred to have it that way."

"T o father 's second marriage there were seven children born ,four boys and three girls, five of w~om lived to raise families," asrelated by his son. "Fortunately there was not a black sheep amongthem- a remarkable record. "

Mt. Carmel Church "was where my moth er went to church andSunday School, (three miles away) and took her children," JamesLyons Mag ruder wrote. "Father hardly ever went ." The son con­tinued :

"F ather Magruder died at the age of fifty-seven. I always feltthat with proper care, and with his good health and constitution,

YEAR BOOK AMERICA N CLA N GREGOR S OCI ETY . 59

he might have lived to at least my age-88 years. That was a lessonfor me."

"Ninian was living in Fauquier Co., when he died," Mr s. Max­well J . Dorsey found while she was in Virginia in 1939. "His willis record ed in Warrenton." Probably, therefore, he had gone toParis, the near est town, in the hope of better medical care than waspossible at Magruder's Mills. -

The record of deaths shows that the Magruder household lost fiveof its members between 1829 and 1832. In addition, James LyonsMagruder remarked, "Rebecca and Mary Ann Magruder came toOhio in 1829, leaving our family small." He said, " Mother raisedMary Ann Rutan, the babe, until she and R ebecca came to Ohiowith Mr. Mayne." Emanuel Mayne, born in Frederick County,Maryland, on September 26, 1805, had married Grace Magruderon Nove mber 9, 1826, and had settled in Springfield, Ohio.

Nin ian Mag ruder's widow soon started a new chapter III herfamily' s history, as related by her eldest son :

"Mother married again in about a year after his death . She mar­ried Philip Pull ar , a man about twenty-three or twenty-four yearsold, much younger than herself. H e came in and took charge of herplace but did not make much of a success of it.

"To them were born thr ee boys, John Lewis, Benjamin Franklinand J oseph Clark. .. .

" I was the oldest of my mother's boys, about thirteen or fourteenbut not old enough or capable of running her business as it waspretty extensive. About that time I commenced dri ving a fourhorse team. A part of the time I would work on the farm, thou gh Igenera lly worked with horses as I always had a liking for them.Then came the tug of war with me."

Entries made, the first pr obably by Pullar, himself, 111 NinianMagruder 's Bible, reveal the following facts:

" P hilip Sanders Pull ar was born in Loudon Co Va April 20th

1807 and was married to Mrs. Elizabeth Magruder 1831 Bythe Rev Stephen Whittlesey"

While describing the cruel exploitation which Ninian Magruder'schildren experienced after Philip Pu llar took charge of the family,] ames Lyons Magruder recalled the following incidents :

" I remember one night in particular, I had not been away late atnight much before, I took a load of tan-bark to Uppervi lle. It wastedious loading and un loading, and that threw me late that night.It was after nine o'clock when I was passing through a dense woodsand , the road being nar row, in passing two large trees the wagonhubs rubbed on both trees-here a negro stepped out from behindthe tree and slapped me on the thigh as I sat on my saddle horse,and told me to stop. I turned the butt of my black-snake whip andasked him what he wanted. ( I recognized him as being the samenegro that stole a hog from my father 's pen a few years before forwhich he was taken to the whipping-post and given nine and thirtylashes with a cat-o-nine-tails on his bare back, and salted. He hadbeen detected by tra cing the blood to his cabin, and there they foundthe meat salted.) H e said he want ed to ride with me, and I toldhim to get in the wagon . (T hat was a great relief to me.) I askedhim if he was not afra id of the patrollers on account of his beingaway after nine o'clock. H e was going to a party. H e said 'No,you will not tell them.' I supposed that he was, of course, goingto have revenge out of me, but I was very agreeably disappointed."

"Father Pullar moved from Virginia to Lloydsville, BelmontCo., in 1836," when the land leased by Ninian Magruder "revertedback to Colston's heirs, the original owners," as ] ames Lyons Ma­gruder relat ed. "The lease had run out after their having hadpossession about forty years." Ass uming that removal to Virg iniahad followed soon after the baptism of Townsend Mag ruder inMaryland; the time actually had been thirty-nine years . Pullar

took his family by covered wagon through Wheeling to Ohio. Loyds­ville, on the nati onal road, had been laid out by Joshua Loyd in 1831.The Met hodist society there had been started just ahead of thearrival of the Magruders and Pullars, in 1835. James Lyons Ma­gruder, who had escaped from the tyranny of his step-father byaccompanying Emanuel Mayne to Spr ingfield, Ohio, in 1834 andestablishing himself as an apprentice in W est Liberty before the endof that year, decided to visit his mother in her new home. Hi s storyfollows:

" . . . In 1837, George McCullick had a very fine, good style,saddle horse. When he was ridin g him one day he threw him off,so that he was not able to rid e him again. McCullick knew I wasa good horseman and wanted me to ride him, and I did so. H eplunged with me at first, but I stuck to him. I rode him from W estLiberty to Springfie ld. H e behaved very nicely, and I enjoyedriding him. When I got back and took him home I got off and toldMr. McCullick he was very gentle and nice. I told him to get onand try him. H e did so, but before he got fairly seated the hor secommenced plunging and threw him off. I got on him again and hewent off very nicely.

"He tried him again the next day, and he th rew him. I then askedhim to let me have him to ride to Belmont County to see my mother .I told him I would take good care of him, and thought it would tamehim. 'We ll,' he said, 'You can have horse, saddle and brid le, andwelcome.'

"T he horse was a fine walker , and the only trouble I had waswhen I would meet a woman on horseback carrying an umbrella­then he would whirl and run back. There was one woman meanenough to chase me back about half a mile, and then would not putit down . I finally got by with safety, but I had no good feeling forthat woman .

" I learned where my folks lived, and rode up pretty close to thedoor and shouted 'Halloa.' The door was thrown wide open, and , asit was a cool evening in October, there was a large fire in the fire­place which looked very inviting. T wo fine looking ladies and theirmother came to the door.

62 YEAR BOOK AMERI CAN CLAN GREGOR SOCIETY

" I asked them if I could get to stay all night. They said theywere not in the habit of keeping travelers, and told me there wasa hotel acro ss the street. I told them I preferred staying at a pri ­vate house. They insisted that they did not keep travelers. I t wasthen about eight o'clock. 'Well,' said I, 'I will come in and warmanyhow. I have ridd en about fifty miles today, and I am tired andcold.' I hit ched my hor se, and went in and took a seat pretty closeto the fire. I had on my overcoat and leggin s, and soon began toget warm. They kept watching me prett y closely. Finally SisterCaroline got between me and the fire and got a good look at me.She said 'I believe it is Br oth er James.' They all made a rush at meand soon found out who I was. They told one of the boys to takemy horse to the hotel.

"Father Pullar was lying on the bed, in the back part of the sameroom, on top of the covers with his clothes on, listening to us. AfterI got off my overcoat and leggins, I went back to the bed and spoketo him. H e jumped up and appeared to be very glad to see me, andtreated me very kindly. I had run off from home a littl e over threeyears befor e, and that was th e first I had seen of any of them. Itgoes without telling that we had a nice visit of a week. While th ereI took Sister Sarah on behind me, and rode out in the country fourand a half miles to visit father' s brother John.

" I though t I had a very gentle horse, so when I got back home Itold George his horse was perfectly gentle only when I met a womanon hor seback. H e got on him and started off, but the horse sooncommenced plunging and threw him off. So he had to sell him ."

James Milt on J ohnson, the son of "Sister Sarah," contributedthe following information in his lett er written to me on February 4,1925: " Mother and Aunt Caroline, on arriving at Lloydsville, Bel­mont County, Ohio, soon form ed the acquaintance of 'the Van Lawgirls ,' of whom I frequ ently heard them speak ; it appears that the seyoung ladies were adherents to th e tenets of E lias Hi cks, who brokeaway from the body of 'O rthodox ' quakers and denied th e divinityof Christ, which . . . was so greatly at variance with the teachingsthe Magruder girl s had received, either from their intensely piousMethodist moth er , or from teaching they may have received when

VISIting the Magruder relat ives in Winchester. Now, when youask me 'who were these Magruder relatives? ' you have me checkmated ; I have no idea; I read in the year books that Gen. JohnBankhead Magruder was born in Winchester . . . Suffice it to saythose early association s of my mother with these people lead her tobe very fond of the Angli can ritual. H er fath er , Ninian Magruder,must never have been confirmed, as I have heard moth er say herfather was an Epi scopalian by birthright, only."

On e by one, the childr en of N inian Magruder and Eli zabeth Lyonsleft the parental roof. "Sister Caro line was married in BelmontCounty (Lloydsville) in 1839 and moved to Poland in 1845, andfrom Poland to Urbana in 1864," James Lyon s Magruder wrote.From Lloydsville, Pullar moved his family to H opewell in Muskin ­gum County, where he became postma ster ; but before the end of1839, he sett led his family in Ru shville. Of this period, James LyonsMagruder wrote:

"After serving three years and eleven months apprentice ship , fromOctober 7, 1834 to August, 1838, I left my home at W est Liberty,Ohio , to work jour work on sadd les. I kept that up for one year,at which time I was called home to my moth er' s sick bed fromGreenfield, Highland County, to Ru shville, Fairfield County.

"I received the letter in the afternoon after five o'clock supper.One of the boys in the shop very kindly proposed to take me toFrankfort that night so that I could walk to Circleville next morn­ing in time to catch the stage, but when I got there I found the stagehad just gone, and I was too poor to hire a private conveyance.Aft er eating a late breakfast I had walkecl twenty-three miles, butI felt pretty well rested and sta rted out on foot for Lancaster , whichI made about sunset. After supper I was pretty well rested, andwithin ten miles of mother and anxious to see her alive, so I startedout again. Aft er walkin g about three miles in darkness and lone­liness I came to a very inviting hotel, and as I was tired and con­cluded I might overdo it I stopped there, for I had already walkedfifty-six or seven miles that day with my valise on my back con­tainin g my clothing and tools. I aro se early, and mad e the otherseven milek by eight o'clock, feeling rested and all right myself,and found mother much bett er . So it made a very happy meeting

64 YEAR B OOK A MERICAN CLAN GR EGOR SOC IETY

of friends, and I lost sight of my sixty-four miles walk and felt justas well as if I had not made it.

"I had been away from my mother 's home about five years, exceptfor an occasional visit. I thought I should like to spend the rest ofthe fall and winter with mother and family. I was not able or will­ing to live idle, and could get no work at my trade there so I con­cluded to start up a littl e shop, which proved to be quite an uphillbusiness. H owever , I passed a very pleasant winte r with my peo­ple though the future outlook for business was not very good, andthat did not suit me."

"My sister Sarah married Christian Johnson of Fairfield County,"James Lyons Mag ruder reported about the next reduction of thefamily circle. On June 8, 1926, James Milton J ohnson wrote tome more fully on this subject : '

"H ere would seem to be the place for me to say something aboutmy 'native heath .' If you have at hand a county map of Ohio, youwill see that Rushville, Fairfield County, is pr obably some 30 miles,as the crow flies, from the southern, or south-eastern part ofH ocking County, the latt er locality was very sparsely settled at thetime my father and mother were married in 1841, in Rushville;Grandmother felt that Sa rah was being taken clear beyond the paleof civilization; my fath er, appreciating her anxiety, made her apromise that he would bring Sarah home once a year for a visit­a promise he never failed to keep except one year when his healthwas too bad to admit of his making the trip. Those trips were al­ways looked for ward to by me as the one great outstanding eventof the ·year. Those long wearisome trips over the hills, many ofwhich were too steep for all three of us to remain in the buggy whileascending, some of us had to walk so as to lighten the load. A greatmany times we went by way of Lancaster , following the shore of theH ocking River , which increased the distan ce by several miles, butthe better condition of the roads amply repaid for the extra mileage."

These annual trips were brought to an end by the death of thebeloved grandmother, whose last words, judging by my father 'smemorandum about her , were, " Te ll them to meet me in Heaven."As recorded in Ninian Magruder's Family Bible:

"Died at Rushville, Ohio, & buri ed there," my father noted. SaidJames Milton Johnson to me in his letter of Nove mber 26, 1924 :

"Grandmother was buried in Ru shville--eommonly known locallyas 'East Town'- separated from W est Rushvi lle by Ru sh Cr eek.Grandmother always lived in 'East Town' and was a member of thechurch there, her husband , P hilip Pull ar being the janit or of thechurch for many years. Ever since my remembrance and up to thetime of her death , they lived on a street running north from the MainStreet which run s east and west through both villages, being thesame street on which the chur ch is located, but on the opposite side,a littl e farther north than the church. After Grandmother 's deathMr . Pull ar married again and removed to 'West Town' where hespent the remainder of his life. Uncl e Frank Pull ar also moved toWe st Town and opera ted a small harness shop, but some time afterhis fath er 's death he opened up a shop in Eas t T own and laterbought a home there, where he lived up to the time of his death.Hi s daughters, Miss E va Pullar and Carrie, with her husband, JohnB. Sherman, employed in the office of the Ohi o Industrial Com­mission, all live at 2450 North Fourth Street (Columbu s) , andif you make your proposed trip to Ohi o next year , you must callat the Sherrnan-P ullar home, if you don't see anybody else duringyour whole tour, for, you never met finer people. When in Co­lumbus, you should see Cousin Eva Magruder Smith, unmarrieddaughter of Caroline Magrud er Smith, U ncle William Magruder 'seldest daughter ; she runs a small millinery store at 2fiJ7 NorthHigh Street. She is a very pleasant lady and is held in high esteemby all of the relatives who have been fortunate enough to form heracquaintance."

Mrs. Sherman wrote to me from her home in Columbus on Sep­tember 30, 1925, concerning her grandmother : .

" She is buri ed in the north west corne r of th e cemetery and therewas a marker at her grave when I was there last, but that has been

66 YEAR B OOK AMERICAN CLAN GREGOR SOCIETY

a good many years ago and I do not know in what condition thegrave is now. As long as my father lived the graves were well caredfor .

"My people are buried in W . Ru shville, and there is where wealways stop."

"Rushville is a pleasant place," the Reverend James Quinn re­flected after visiting it in 1840. In his autobiography as quoted inSketches of the L ife and Labors of James QUill1l by the ReverendJ ohn F . Wright , he related:

"Reached Rushville an hour before sunset. Well, before I waswell seated, the inquiry was, 'Will you preach for us tonight ? Yes,you will; we will ring the bell, and you shall have a good congre­gation.' Accordingly we had a good congregation and a good meet­ing, and I found I was no stranger here.. . . I have known the societyhere from its first organization, an exception to almost all otherswith which I have had an acquaintance ; for , from the beginnin g, ithas continued to wax and wax, and never wane... .'

My great-grandmother must have been particularly gratified bythis visit, because the itinerant preacher was familiar with herbirthplace and probably had made her parents happy by preachingin Mt. Carmel Church. Quinn wrote for the Ladies R epository ofF ebruary 23, 1847 :

"Forty- five years ago, in the order of Providence, it was my lotto travel the extensive circuit lying in that lovely valley, extendingfrom Harper 's F erry, up each river, say fifty miles. In passinground and through this noble circuit, we crossed the valley-<!iag­onally-twice, Shenandoah twice, and the Blue Ridge twice . Th atwas a glorious year on Berkley and Winchester circuits; for theywere joined in one that year: many souls were brought to God....That was one of my happiest years.. . ." The appointments in thisVirginia territory necessitat ed Quinn's cross ing with some uncer­tainty the Shenandoah River east of "Battletown," now Berryville.

On the other side is Ashby's Gap in the Blue Ridge Mountains.H ere took place much of James Mosby's brilliant parti zan warfarein the Confederate cause of later date. H ere, too, " Stonewall" Jack­son stopped for worship in Mt. Car mel Church. Quinn regularly

YEAR BOOK AMERICA N CLAN GREGOR SOCIETY 67

visited Paris, the tiny community a short distance east of the Gap;and before the end of his itinerary, he had to cross wild and isolatedcountry to reach an appointm ent at Snicker 's Gap. George Wash­ington had preceded him through this region while engaged as sur­veyor of Lord Fairfax's domain totaling 300,000 acres. Said Quinn:

"T he territory of three large counties was embraced in our bounds;namely, Frederick, Berkley, and Jefferson ; and we must have rodenear four hundred miles in reaching all the appointments, as theystood arranged on the plan . In no section of the work in which mylot has been cast , have I found so large an amount of first -rate min­isterial talent operating in a local sphere."

H enry Smith and then Jacob Gruber were the Methodist circuit­rid ers who in turn succeeded Quinn in that territory. WhetherElizabeth Lyons remem bered them clearl y, I do not know ; but shemust have seen much of James Quinn in Ohio, for he sett led inFairfield County, which he served also as an associate jud ge. Whata contrast was this Methodi sm in Ohio with the atmosphere of St.Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church which N inian Magruder hadknown in Maryland !

A noteworthy fact about Ninian Magruder is that he not onlyintroduced Methodism to his line through his marriage to ElizabethLyons, but , unlik e any of his ancestor s, had not one child who diedin Maryland and not even a descendant who has died th ere, thoughhe had fifteen children. The westwar d movement of the Magruderfamily was continued by some of Ninian's children, especially byWilliam W alter Magruder, who settled in Miami County, Kansas.

In 1943, aft er the death of James Lyons Magruder's grandson,Dr. James William Magruder of Mechanicsburg, Ohio, his widowgave to me the photograph of E lizabeth Lyons, with the explana­tion about her accompan ying gift, " I put in the collar which shewore when the picture was taken. . .." She sent, also, her husband'scopy of his grandfather's Li1e and S ketches. Some years earlier,Dr. Magruder, himself, pr esent ed to me the Family Bible of NinianMagruder, which contains a lock of brown hair apparently from thehead of Elizabeth Lyons. P revio us owners of thi s old volume, aft erthe death of Ninian's widow, had been James Lyons Magruder andhis son, Vesalius Seamour Mag ruder, the fath er of Dr. Magru der.

On Sunday aft ernoon, November 7, 1943, for the first time, Istrolled through the spacious grounds of "Dumbarton Oaks," 3101R St., N. W. , Georgetown (Washington ), District of Columbia,which is located four blocks north of where I live.

The occasion was a tour conducted by the W elcome-to-Washing ­ton Committee of the Wosh inqton Evening Star, which assembledseveral hundreds of people-old Washingtonians and newcomer salike. The massive two-sto ry brick home was closed to inspection ,together with the well-stocked library, so the crowd went throughthe beauti ful grounds, piloted by women guides who explainedthe history and marvels of the place.

t"Dumbarton Oaks" occupies the highest hill in Georgetown , and

affords a wonderful view of the surrounding country , which wasresplendent in the color s of autumn. The whole tract, which in theearly days was much larger, consists of some 60 acres, 20 of whichsurround the home and 40 of which go to make up DumbartonOaks Park, adjoining on the east and which is the property of theDistrict of Columbia. Across the gorge through which flows RockCreek and a tributary, and even higher in elevati on, stands thestately mansion of Mrs. Truxtun Beale, nearly a mile north of"Dumbarton Oaks" ; our guid e inform ed us it was vacant at thistime.

The land falls away on the north ern side at a sharp angle until thebottom of the gorge is reached, and one receives the impression ofterrace piled upon terrace, and stone wall upon stone wall. Hun­dr eds of boxwood bushes, from a foot to ten feet high , some in balland cone shape, add to the effect of age, dignity and peace.

My words are entirely inadequate to describe this scene, in whichthe agencies of Na ture, aided by the skill of man, have conspired toproduce an ensemble of beauty well calculated to asto und the mostprosaic. I would recommend a visit from all who are so fortunateas to spend some time in Washington, to see for themselves, andreturning in many cases to their own home neighborhoods, start orstimulate community movement bett erments. /

The Baltimore SUII, 1904, says : "About the year 1650 therewas an exod us of Virginians to Maryland on the Severn and SouthRiv ers, near Annapolis. Among those who settled in Marylandwere Edward and Corn elius Lloyd , Matthew Howard, JamesWarner, and others . WilIiam Harris was at South River withthe colony that went from Virginia."

James Warner's wife wasElizabeth, the daughter of W illiam and Elizabeth Harris, and theirchildren were Sarah, Katherin e, Feli x and Joanna. James Warnerdied in 1673 and left wife, E lizabeth, executrix. Sh e must haveinher ited her mother's Quakerish views, as she "ca nnot for con­science sake swear."

Sarahthe daughter of James and E lizabeth Harris Warner, became thesecond wife of Colonel H enry Ridgel ey in 1665.

The nam ehas become Brewer, and this John Brewer is thou ght to have beenborn in Cardiff, Wales, and to have come to Massachusett es in1645. Lat er he was in the Nansemond Puritan Colony of Vir­ginia. In 1649 the Puritan Colony went to Maryland by invitationof Governor Stone, and John Brewer settled on the South Rivernear A nnapoli s.

The colleagues of John Brewer in this"Act" were : Edward Lloyd , J . Bateman , William E vans, ThomasMannin g and George U lys.

In 1663 John Brewer appointed his fr iend , Samuel Chew, ashis attorney, and he must have died soon after that, for in April1664, "The Widow's Choice," a tract of six hundred and forty acre sin Talbot County, was surveyed for E lizabeth Brewer . H er quaintsignature is preserved on the land tablets in the State House inAnnapolis. The children of John and Elizabeth .._ Brewerwere : John , Willi am and R:achel.
