  Notes	He was the eldest, never married. He was afflicted with Rheumatism. Notwithstanding he had a good mind, which he cultivated, had a great deal of firmness, and unyielding will and untiring energy, persevering in all his undertakings - a right disciplinarian loved to command but was not overbearing. He was always cheerful and delighted with the society of refined women. He was well formed, had black hair, fair skin and blue eyes. He was handsome, intelligent, prudent, cheerful, and strictly moral, and was a general favorite among all, especially the women. He never engaged in anything but that he succeeded. My oldest brother departed from the propisten faicto of the country, that "ignorance is bliss," and obtained a totally fair English education. In this respect he was my only exemplar and although I was a mere child I observed the wisdom of his course and resolved then that I too would have an education., [1]
