Narrative of Maria Edwards, daughter of John B. Seawell and Maria Henry Tyler.

His brother John, who was my great grandfather, built on the adjoining tract. He built first on Timber Neck creek, the place called the "White-house," which still bears the name. Here there was a handsome house. As a child, my father took me there to get cherries and English walnuts. This house was burned down, just after all the furniture had been imported; mirrors thrown out of the windows, etc. This was told me by an old servant, who followed his young master, one of the Cleaver family, to Braddock's defeat. My great-grandfather then build the house in which I was born, Gloucester Place. I forget the date, but before the Revolution. His wife when he married her, was a widow Thornton. My father remembered her, and said she was handsome, with expressive black eyes. He bore her maiden name, Boswell, as his middle name.

My great-grandfather was an importing merchant, and the "war" interfered sadly with his business. The American and French troops at one time camped in the field on the left hand side as you go up to the house called the Wind-mill field, and fed to their horses, and destroyed a fine crop of corn. Many years afterwards my uncle John Tyler found, in an old "day-book" a full account of it, in which my great-grandfather stated his grievances, and thought my father should have put it in his hands while he was in Congress.
