PROGRAM OF PRESENTATION Generally speaking, “founders” of things have to die to be appreciated, but the fame that has to perch on a monument, while pleasing to the “relicts,”” cannot be said to have the same happy result for the one who is so dead that he cannot appreciate it. The Daughters of the American Revolution pro- pose to shed the sunshine of their approval while the recipients of it can enjoy the bereficent returns. They are proud of their magnificent organization, and they do not care who knows it. They are exceedingly grateful to the minds that conceived the plans. and the people who solidified them into a comprehensive organization. The next step was natural. They desired to ex- press in some decided manner this appre- ciation of the founders of the D, A.-R., and temorrow evening will give expression in the national body to their good will and high esteem for the four women who “founded” the Daughters of the American Revolution—Miss Mary Desha, Mrs. Mary 8. Lockwood, Mrs. Ellen Hardin Walworth and Miss Eugenia Washington. Mrs. Mary 8. Lockwood was the woman who set the wheels of the old distaffs go- ing, in 1890. The Sons of the American Revolution had a meeting in Washington in 1890, some time in the summer. Mrs. Lock- weed read of their doings in the papers, how they talked of their sires and grand- sires, even to the third and fourth genera- Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood. tion back, with never a word about the other and better half of the compact, the women who wadded guns with their petti- ccats and swabbed them out with their hair: and being of a fighting strain herself she talked right out in meeting. In other words, she flew into print with a story of Hannah Arnett, a revolutionary heroine, and, as luck would have it, the sketch fell into the hands of the great-grandson of the dear old lady. He immediately wrote to Mrs. Lockwood. She replied to him, saying she was exasperated with all this talk about “men, men, men,” when it was very well known that women had been as conspicuously brave in every great crisis of the nation’s history as had been the men, and he agreed with her. Attracts Attention. Mrs. Lockwood's story, printed July 13, 1890, brought a letter from Miss Mary Desha the following day, saying she was ready to join with Mrs. Lockwood in form- ing a society of the “Daughters of the American Revolution.” They talked it over and became convinced that such a so- ciety could be made most interesting and valuable in many ways. Mrs. Lockwood had been appointed a member of the board of lady managers of the world’s fair and had to leave the city. After consultation she and Miss Desha decided that each would do what she could during the summer to further the p!ans. Miss Desha then call- ed upon Mrs. Ellen Hardin Walworth and Miss Eugenia Washington and several oth- ers of known revolutionary ancestry. Mrs. Leckwood corresponded with many promi- nent women during July and August, and the result was-some well-defined plans ready for action. An informal organization was begun in August. In September Mrs. Flora Adams Darling said she thought the time had come for a national organization, and she and Mrs. Lockwood, in the home of the latter, began to work on a constitution for the sprouting society. In this labor they were helped by Miss Desha, Mrs. Walworth, Miss Washington, Mr. McDowell, Dr. G. Browne Goode and a Mr. Gill of New York. Octo- ber 11, 1890, the project was ready to spring upon the country. Beside the gentlemen mentioned as In- terested in this organization, there were present at that meeting Eugenia Washin; ton, Flera Adams Darling, Ellen Hardia Walworth, Mary Francis Hailowell, Aure- lia Hadley Mohl, Florida Cunningham, Ceroline L. Ransom, Emil Lee Sherwood, Ada P. Kimberly, Susan Rivere Hetzel, Margaret Hetzel, Harriet Lincoln Coolidge, Mary L. Garrison, Ma Lockwood, Alice Morrow Clark, Pauline McDowell and Mary Desha, eighteen in all. Only eleven of them signed the formal call, though all atterward became charter mem- Mrs. Mary Desha, bers. The eleven were Mrs. Walworth, Miss Washington, Mrs, Darling, Mrs. Hal- lowell, Miss Hetzel, Mrs. Hetzel, Mrs. Ca. bell, Mi Lockwood, Mrs. Clarke, Mrs. Kimberly and Miss Desha. First President General. An organization, however humble, must have a head, and this one had none even Suggested up to the hour of beginning bus- iness, The story of how it got its first president general is of interest. Miss Washington had sent Mrs. Caroline Scott Harrison one of the application blanks, the llth of Oc- and gentlemen and hid with her, ail written out by her father, the Scott lineage as far back as Queen Anue’s time, After explaining about the blanks Mrs. Lockwood said to Mrs. Harrison that the organization had no head yet, and asked her if she would con- sent to the use of her name. Mrs. Harri- son objected at first, as she was not strong, #nd did not like the onerous duties, but finally consented to serve if the choice of herself came unanimously, and she would not have to work hard. This good news Mrs. Lockwood carried to the waiting pa- triots, and it was received with every evi- dence of pleasure and delight.

As a mark of their appreciation of the splendid service rendered by the four wo- men who have labored so earnestly from the first for the first-named society, the national congress a year ago voted to pre- sent the faithful quartet with a medal each, and a committee, consisting of Mrs. Wm. Lindsey of Kentucky, Mrs. Kate Kearney Henry of the District of Columbia, Mrs. 8. V. White of Brooklyn, Miss Virginia Miller of the District of Colum d Mrs. Mary Thomas of M. husetts appointed to select an appropriate design. The med- als have been made and are to be presented tomorrow evening. They are in the shape of a Maltese cross, each arm being an eagle spread, with a design between each set with fine diamonds and sapphires. At the top is a little ribbon-like scroll, with the word “Founder” on it in blue enamel. The name of each is on the back of the medal, which is of fine gold, and each is in a hand- some case, with a neat gold chain to hang them upon. It is a jewel worth possessinr, and coming as it does, these four women doubtless feel very proud of it because of its significance. Record of the Lineage. The lineage which brings the distinction 1s also of some interest. Mrs. Lockwood, whose “Hannah Arnett” set all to think- ing, is a great-granddaughter of Martin Roberts, an officer in the revolutionary war; also granddaughter of Roxy Morton of Hadley, Mass., descendant of Silas Mor- ton, who entered the Plymouth Company in 1775. In recognition of his services he was presented with a sword by Congress, which is now in the possession of the fami- ly. He was a member of the Cincinnati. Mrs. Lockwood is also great-granddaughter of Benjamin Smith of ‘Hadley, Mass., who was a member of the committee of corre- ‘Mrs. Ellen H. Walworth, spondence, and one of the minute men of the revolution. He was in the company of Captain Henry Skiles of Whately, and was in several campaigns, one of which was the Saratoga campaign of 1777, in Wood- bridge's regiment. Mrs. Lockwood is also a descendant of Philip Smith, a deputy in the Massachusetts colony. The First Member. Miss Desha records herself as the first member and one of the organizers of the D. A. R. She is a descendant of Margaret Briarley, moth2r of Col. John Montgom- ery, jr., a soldier of the revolutionary army; granddaughter of Joseph Desha, a soldier in the revolution at fifteen years of age, who was with Mad Anthony Wayne in 1796, a major general in 1812 and gov- ernor of Kentucky in 1825, and of Margaret Bledsoe, his wife; great granddaughter of Robert Desha, a soldier of the revolution; great granddaughter of Isaac Bledsoe and Katharine Montgomery, his wife. Isaac Bledsoe was a pionzer of Tennessee, a famous Indian fighter, called by the In- dians “Tullituske”—the waving corn blade— and a sgidier of the revolution. Miss Desha is great great granddaughter of John Mcntgomery, who was the son of a revo- lutionary soldier; great granddaughter of Joseph Wheeler, a lieutenant in Brad- dcck’s army and a — = erates tion; great great granddaughter o! a arine Montgomery, “a dispatch bearer” during the revolution, who was sister of Col. John Montgomery. Descends From Hardin Family. Mrs. Ellen Hardin Walworth Wentworth is a descendant of Col. John Hardin of Virginia. Hs was a lieutenant in Mor- gan’s Rifle Corps and colonel in Wayne’ campaign. At the battle of Saratoga he performed distinguished services and re- age oe public macy ead Gen. Gates. nt was sent from Kentucky by spe- cial order of Gen. Washington on a mis- sion ef peace to the Indians in northern Ohio, and was massacred by them. Mrs. Walworth is also a d2scendant of Gen. a Daughters is that which makes up the femily from which Miss Bugenie Washing- ton traces her ancestry. She is, to begin with, a descendant of Col. Samuel Wash- ington, brother of George. Sh2 was a daughter of William Temple Washington and Margaret Calhoun Fletcher. She is @ granddaughter of George Steptoe Wash- ion and Lucy Payne, anc great grand- hier of Col. Samuel Washington and Annie Steptoe Washington. Samuel Wash- ington was a colonel in the Virginia line of the revolutionary war. On her maternal side Miss Washington is descended from Col. Francis Joseph, Count de Flechir. He served in the war of ISI2 as colonel on the staff of Gen. Wm. Henry Harrison, and was a grandson of Col. Flechir, who came to Virginia with his friend and maternal kirsman, Marquis de Lafayette, and en- tered the service as a private. He was Soon elected captain of Company H, “In- dependent Washington Guards,” reporting to the commander-in-chief, and was order- ed to Canada. Miss Washington is also a sreat-great-granddaughter of Chas. Fran- cis Joseph, Count de Felchir, who served in the revolutionary war, and afterward changed the spelling of his name to the “United States” way and wrote it “Fletch- er.” Miss Washington is No. 1 in ths lineage book. “And these are the generations of the founders of the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution,” to paraphrase the first genealogical book on record, the Bible. The nedals designed for the found-rs of the order will be presented to them publiciy tomorrow evening before the congr>ss, and a reception in honor of the four ladies will follow. The Daughters have arranged to make the presentation one to remember and it will be surrounded by all the dig- nity that the distinguished Mneage and an- cestry of the recipients demand. CANDIDATES BUSY. The Aspi = for Pos! dent Genera The candidates for president general are working like beavers, or their friends are, which amounts to the same thing. There are a great Many followers of Mrs. Rose Brackett in the congress. She has given all her energies to the work of the organiza- tion almost since its formation, and has been without doubt the very best presiding officer the congress has ever had. If rec- ords of husbands count for anything, then Mrs. Brackett yields to none. Col. Albert G. Brackett gave forty years of his life in hard service for his country, and bore upon his body the scars of two wounds received in battle. The records of the War Depart- ment show on almost every page for a long period the story of his devotion to the na- tion’s honor. Mrs. Brackett’s leniage is clean cut and perfect as a daughter. She is a Kentuckian. Mrs. Donald McLean comes of fighting biood from away back, and shows it. If it comes to a point of distinguished an- cestry between the candidates for presi- dent general, she is fully able to hold her own. Her great-grandfather, her grand- father, a great uncle and an uncle were ail successively on the supreme bench of the state of Maryland. Her great uncle, Joha elson, was one of the most distinguished attorney generals the United States éver had, he was also the United States minister to Italy under Van Buren. And if the hus- bands of the candidates are to figure in the contest—dead or living—the record of Mr. McLean's ancestry will bear inspection. His granfather was first commissary general of the state of New York and an intimate friend of Governor Clinton. His uncle, John McLean, was the first judge of Steu- ben county, New York. His father served as a volunteer and regular through the Mexican and late wars. Mr. McLean him- self was appointed by President Harrison general appraiser of the port of New York, and held that position during the Harrison administration. Mrs. Daniel Manning, who is one of the twenty vice presidents general, is a com- manding figure in the congress, and cari lineage in every line of her face and figur She is Holland Dutch on her fathér's side. for many generations back. Her maiden name was Margaretta Fryer. On her mother’s side she can trace her ancestry from Robert Livingston, first lord of the manor of Livingston, to whom was given the original grant. Among her famous an- cestors are Philip Livingston, the second lord, and Robert, the third lord; Col. Peter R. Livingston, Gov. Rip Van Dam. Abra- ham de Peyster, Olaff Stevenson van Court- landt and Col. Peter Schuyler, to whom a monument is about to be erected in Albany Mrs. Manning has been upon the conti- tal hall committee for some time, and has done excellent work. Her friends are quite confident of her election. At the present time honors are even among the candidates. Ope hour Mrs. Mc- Lean is ahead, the next Mis. Manning, and Mrs. Brackett steadily gaining. If it is found that Mrs. McLean cannot be elected, her votes are more than likely to go to Mrs, Brackett than to anybody else. ‘The Man- ning delegates do not contemplate a second choice. ———_. _ THE BOSTON DELEGATION.
