General Notes for Child Mary Branford
"How far the character of my good grandmother Shubrick wa s moulded on this counsel of her father I was too young t o be able to judge. But I always knew her as a professing m ember of the Circular (Independent, or Congregational) Chur ch of Charleston; & used to attend worship with her there e very now & then, when she always seemed to take a devout in terest in its services, though going generally alone; for m y grandfather, while respecting her attachment to it, & a ffording her every facility for attending there, had the ir children all baptized into the Protestant Episcopal Chur ch & habituated from Childhood to its ways, thus renderin g his wife's constancy to her own hereditary persuasion onl y the more remarkable. To me she was rendered dear chiefl y by her unvarying kindness in supplying my juvenile want s with her ever-ready stores of "creature comforts" in my early childhood, by her liberal gifts of mo ney as I grew older, & always by her inexhaustible stock o f revolutionary lore in shape of anecdotes of stirring adve ntures, of gallant exploit of hairbreadth escapes, of patri otic sacrifice, stirring the spirit of my brother & myself , & of my sisters too, as we would sit by the hour at her f eet, & drink in the love of country & the hatred of oppress ion. Some of the grotesque old songs with which she would a muse us linger still in my memory--with the tones of the vo ice which gave them such sweetness to our ears; & the vivac ity wherewith to an advanced age she would sing them & reco unt her marvels of Whig Biography were proof to us that th e "Spirit of '76" had not yet died out from even her failin g frame. The only child of a deceased son, (my uncle Temple r) deserted by an unnatural mother, was left to her care , & it was touching to witness the tenderness, not always t empered by sufficient firmness, with which she watched ove r her charge.

General Notes for Child John Templer Shubrick
The subject of our sketch is the eldest of four brothers w ho have served with credit and reputation in the navy, sinc e the commencement of the present century. Of these brothe rs John, the oldest, never rose higher in rank than to b e a lieutenant commandant; William Branford, the second i n seniority, is the present Commodore Shubrick; Edward Rutl edge, the third, died quite recently, a captain, on his pas sage between the Brazil and the Mediterranean stations, i n command of the Columbia 44; while Irvine, the fourth an d youngest, is a commander of the promotion of 1841. It i s seldom, indeed, that so many members of a single family a re found in the same profession, serving equally with credi t to themselves and advantages to their country.
The family of Shubrick belongs to South Carolina, in wh ich state it has long been connected with many of the mos t distinguished names. We have only to mention those of Dra yton, Hayne, Heyward, Hamilton, Pinckney, Horry, Trapier, & c., &c, to show the character of its connections. Col. Thomas Shubrick, the father of. the four sons just me ntioned, was an officer of the Revolution, having served wi th distinction in the army of Gen. Greene during the celeb rated southern campaign. He was with the latter, in the ca pacity of an aid, at the battle of Eutaw Springs. This gen tleman was born late in 1755, and was consequently quite yo ung at the commencement of the great struggle for nationa l independence. He was the seventh child and the third so n of Thomas Shubrick and Sarah Motte, both of Charleston; t he latter being of the connection of that noble woman who f urnished Lee with the implements to set fire to her own hou se, in order to subdue a British garrison.. . . .
Young Shubrick was taught in the schools of Charleston , in the manner usual to boys of his class in life, until t he year 1801, when he was sent to the care of the Rev.Thoma s Thatcher, of Dedham, Massachusetts, accompanied by his ne xt brother, William, the present Commodore Shubrick. Unde r the instruction of this truly kind and excellent guide an d friend, he remained until the spring of 1804, when he ret urned to Charleston, and commenced the study of the law, i n the office of his kinsman, Col. Drayton, so well known t o the country for his probity and public services. During t he time young Shubrick remained occupied in this pursuit, h is progress created the most sanguine hopes of his future s uccess, though his disposition strongly tempted him to enga ge in more active and stirring scenes than those likely t o attend the career of a barrister. By the persuasion of f riends, however, as well as a sense of duty, the young ma n persevered for two years, when his father yielded to th e wishes of two of his sons, and procured for them midshipm enÂ’s appointments. The warrants of the two Shubricks were o f the same date, August 19th, 1806, though there were mor e than two years differences in their ages. This placed Joh n, the elder of the two, and the subject of our sketch, i n the navy when he was little more than eighteen years old . With many minds and temperaments, this would have been co mmencing the profession somewhat too late, perhaps, thoug h the education previously obtained was of great advantag e to one so much disposed to acquire all useful knowledge a s this youth. By some mistake of the Department, the warran ts were ante-dated, appearing as if issued June 20th. Th e circumstance was of little moment nor do we know that i t bad any influence on the subsequent promotions of eithe r of the young gentlemen interested.
From the very commencement of his service, John Shubr ick's career was marked by that species of fortune that see med ever to lead him where hard knocks were to be given an d taken. So marked, indeed, was his career in this respect , that, in the end, it began to be thought that his luck wo uld,give any ship a chance for a fight on board which he mi ght happen to serve. The first vessel to which the young m an was attached was the Chesapeake 36, Capt.Gordon, which v essel he joined at Washington, while fitting for the Medite rranean station, to carry the broad pennant of Commodore Ja mes Barron. In this ship he dropped down to Norfolk, remai ned there until she sailed, and was in her at the time of t he memorable attack that was made on her by the Leopard 50 , Capt. Humphreys. In this affair, those on board the Ches apeake were probably more exposed than had they been i n a regular engagement in which both parties were prepared , and contended under equal advantages. On the occasion of his first hearing a shot fired in anger , Shubrick was one of the midshipmen in the division of Lie ut. Wm. H. Allen, he who was so long Decatur's first lieute nant, and who was subsequently killed in command of the Arg us. Allen was third lieutenant of the Chesapeake, a rank t hat gave him the midship division on the gun-deck, a bert h that is usually called the slaughter-house, from the circ umstance that the fire is generally concentrated on the cen tre of the ship. The division was particularly lumbered, bu t great activity was manifested in clearing it. It is gener ally known that the Chesapeake could not discharge her gun s for want of powderhorns to prime them with, as well as th e want of matches, or heated loggerheads. But for this unpr epared condition of the ship, one broadside might have bee n fired, though it is probable a second could not. As it w as, the only gun discharged was in the division to which Mr . Shubrick belonged. Two powderhorns were received from be low, after the Leopard had opened some time, when three o f the guns were primed, being otherwise ready. Mr. Allen h imself got a loggerhead from the galley, and applied it t o the priming of one of these guns, but it was not yet war m enough to cause the powder to explode. He then ran to th e galley, procured a coal, and with that he succeeded in di scharging one gun. It is doubtful whether this was before o r after the order had been given to haul down the colors, t he two things occurring almost at the same instant. Allen a nd his officers were about to discharge the other two guns , when an order was issued to fire no more. The officers w orked as well as the men, in these critical circumstances ; and the breeching of one of the guns of the second divis ion was middled principally by Allen himself, Shubrick, an d the present Commodore Wadsworth, who was the senior midsh ipman of the division. But two of the crew appear to have b een at that gun in consequence of the rest being wounded o r absent.
This was a rude encounter for so young an adventurer t o meet, almost in the first hour after he got to sea. Th e Chesapeake suffered much less than might have been expect ed, when it is remembered that she lay near a quarter of a n hour, and in smooth water, virtually unresisting, under t he broadside of a fifty gun ship. Still she suffered; havi ng had no less than between twenty and thirty of her peopl e killed and wounded. Of this loss, a fair proportion occu rred in the division to which Shubrick belonged.
Shubrick remained in the Chesapeake after she was given t o Decatur. Late in 1808, however, he was transferred to th e brig Argus, in which vessel he remained, cruising on th e coast, under three several commanders Capts. Wederstrandt , Evans, and Jones, until early in 1810. As this was a ver y active little cruiser, the time passed in her was of grea t service to our young officer, as, indeed was that under D ecatur, in the Chesapeake. After remaining in the Argus ne ar twenty months, Shubrick was ordered to join the United S tates 44, which was just fitted out to carry Decatur's pen nant. He continued but a few months, however, in this fin e frigate, being compelled to quit her in consequence o f a misunderstanding with another officer, which was near p roducing a duel. Shubrick gave the challenge, conceiving hi mself the injured party, and all the arrangements were mad e for the meeting, when the affair reached the ears of th e commodore. Decatur sent for the gentlemen, and demande d a pledge from each that the affair should go no farther . This pledge Shubrick refused to give, as the challenger , and Decatur found himself rather awkwardly placed in hi s character of a mediator. It would not do to suffer disci pline to be browbeaten, on the one hand, while his own natu re was opposed to punishing a young officer for having sens itive feelings on the subject of his honor, even though tho se feelings might be a little exaggerated. In this dilemma , he decided on ordering young Shubrick to quit his ship, t aking care to send him on board another vessel of his squad ron, with the acting appointment of lieutenant! There wa s a slight semblance of punishment in sending a midshipma n from the finest vessel under his orders, to the smalles t and least desirable craft he had among his cruisers, bu t it was a punishment any midshipman in the service would h ave been rejoiced to receive.
The vessel to which Shubrick was now sent was the Viper , probably the smallest sea-going craft in the navy, at tha t time. He joined her at midsummer, 1810, and it may be re marked in passing, that William Shubrick was made acting i n the Wasp, by Lawrence, about the same time. As John Shub rick was born in 1788, he got this important step in his pr ofession when in his twenty-second year, and after havin g been only four years in the service. This seems extraord inary preferment in days like these, when a young gentlema n is compelled to pass six years as a midshipman before h e can even be examined, and frequently as many more as a pa ssed midshipman before he gets his lieutenantÂ’s commission . The service requires an entirely new arrangement of its g rades, as well as the establishment of some that are new, i n order to impart to it fresh life and hope. About the tim e of which we are now writing, Cornmodore Stewart sent a ne phew of his, the present Capt. McCauley, late of the Delawa re 80, with a letter of introduction to Decatur, who had ju st hoisted his pennant in the United States. Young McCaule y had been made a midshipman a short time previously, and h ad been ordered to join the frigate. As Decatur and Stewar t were close friends, the former felt the propriety of sayi ng a few encouraging words to the kinsman of the latter, o n his introduction to naval life. After a few general remar ks, the commodore added, "Every thing depends on yourself , young gentleman. You see my pennant aloft, there; well , I joined this very ship myself, only twelve years since,, a midshipman, like yourself, and you see I now carry a broa d pennant in her." All this was very true, but Mr. McCaule y, when he related to us this anecdote, had been a lieutena nt as long as Decatur had then been in the navy.
In addition to the pleasure of receiving this acting Lie utenancy, Shubrick had the satisfaction of being put unde r the orders of a townsman, in Lieut.Com. Gadsden, the offi cer who commanded the Viper. The schooner cruised along th e coast south, touching at Charleston, and passing into th e Gulf of Mexico. At New Orleans, Lieut. Joseph Bainbridg e took charge of the Viper.
In 1811, Shubrick was transferred to the Siren 16, Capt . Gordon, one of the medium sized brigs, that had done so m uch service before the town of Tripoli. So attentive had th e young man been to his duty, and so great was his improvem ent in his profession, that he was soon intrusted with th e duties of the first lieutenant of this brig. It is tru e he was not commissioned as a lieutenant at all, but in th at day it was no unusual thing for a majority of the ward-r oom officers of even frigates to be merely acting.
An unpleasant affair occurred while Mr. Shubrick was doi ng first lieutenant's duty in this brig. Some rope was mak ing for the vessel, and Shubrick had occasion to attend a t the walk, with a gang of hands. The Superintendent of th e rope-walk was an Englishman, and, in the course of the du ty, he abused the seamen, and ended by grossly insulting th eir officer. Shubrick was armed, but, unwilling to draw hi s sword on such an opponent, he caught up a stick and bega n to thresh him with it. It seems that the Englishman carri ed a pistol, which he leveled at Shubrick's head and fired. . At the moment, the latter had the stick grasped with bot h hands, and was in the act of repeating the blow. His thu mbs were crossed, and the ball injured them so badly that b oth were amputated. Notwithstanding this outrage, and the f act that the man had provoked and merited the chastisemen t he received, Shubrick refused to proceed against him, say ing he could not take the satisfaction that was customary a mong gentlemen, and he would not resort to any other mode o f atonement.
Toward the close of the year 1811, the Siren came north , and Shubrick still remained in her. Early in 1812, he re ceived his commission. as a lieutenant, having now been nea rly six years in the service, and having reached his twenty -fourth year.
Lieut. Shubrick was now ordered to join the Constitutio n 44, Capt. Hull, which ship had just returned from Europe , and was receiving a new crew, together with many new offi cers. War was declared a few days later, and every nerve w as strained to get the ship ready for sea as soon. as possi ble. So hurried were the equipments that one hundred of th e ship's people joined her only the night previously to th e day on which she sailed from Annapolis. The Constitutio n was exceedingly well officered. For her first lieutenan t she had Charles Morris, now Commodore Morris, one of th e very ablest men the American marine ever possessed. Eve n in that day, this gentleman enjoyed a reputation very unu sual for one of his rank; while, at the present time, afte r filling many places of high responsibility, no officer co mmands more of the confidence and respect both of the servi ce and the country. The Constitution had, for her second l ieutenant, Alexander S. Wadsworth, an officer of great resp ectability, a brother of the gentleman who was blown up wit h Somers in the Intrepid, and the present Commodore Wadswor th. The third lieutenant was George Campbell Read, the pres ent Commodore Read, who has always ranked high in the servi ce; the fourth lieutenant was Beekman Verplank Hoffman, wh o died a captain a few years since, and who was thought t o be one of the best, if not the very best division office r in the navy; the fifth lieutenant was Shubrick, and ther e was an acting sixth, in Charles Morgan, the present Commo dore Morgan, who was then young as an officer, but of ver y excellent materials.
The Constitution lifted her anchor on the 12th of July , 1812. On the 17th, she fell in with an English squadro n of five vessels, including one ship of the line and fou r frigates. The memorable chase that succeeded will be rel ated in detail elsewhere, though it has already passed int o history, as one or the most brilliant things of its kin d on record. At one time the Constitution was so hard press ed as to escape only by kedging. This was done out of sigh t of land, and it occasioned no little surprise among the E nglish when they discovered the fact. On the side of the en emy, the boats of five ships were put upon two, in order t o tow them up, in the calm, and no alternative remained t o the Constitution but the expedient so successfully adopte d.
It will not be difficult to fancy the fatigue and trial s of a chase of this character, which lasted altogether thr ee days and nights. The officers, as soon as relieved, thre w themselves on the quarterdeck, sleeping in the best spo t they could select, no one thinking of undressing, or of q uitting duty a moment longer than was absolutely necessary . Shubrick had his full share of the work, being employed i n the boats as well as in the ship, as belonged to his rank . In a struggle of this nature, in which all may be said t o have done well, no particular praise, however, can be acc orded to any individual. Hull himself generously attribute d much of his extraordinary success to Morris and his othe r officers, which was probably well deserved, though Hull h imself was a prime seaman, and well fitted for such a scene.
The Constitution cruised a short time after this escape , and went into Boston. Bainbridge had claimed the ship, a s due to his rank and there was a strong prospect of his ge tting her, but Hull profited by some delay and uncertaint y and got to sea again on the 2nd of August. This was th e cruise in which the Constitution captured the Guerriere . In that engagement, Shubrick, as fifth lieutenant, comman ded the quarter-deck guns, and was of course in the midst o f the active scene that occurred in that portion of the shi p, when the Constitution got a stern board and came foul o f her adversary. He escaped without a wound, and had the g ratification of seeing the first British frigate lower he r flag, that struck in that war. He was sent on board the p rize, before she was abandoned, and otherwise was usefull y employed.
Shubrick had now been in the navy but little more than s ix years, and he had actually been present at the three mos t important events which had then occurred, since the peac e with Tripoli, viz. the attack on the Chesapeake, the chas e of the Constitution, and the capture of the Guerriere! B ut his good fortune did not end here. Bainbridge now got t he ship, and Parker, succeeded Morris as his first lieutena nt. Wadsworth left her also, with Morris, who had been, prom oted to the Adams, as his first lieutenant. Shubrick and H offman remained in the frigate, the latter becoming her sec ond lieutenant, and the former her third.. Alwyn, who ha d been master in the late engagement, was also promoted t o a lieutenancy, and became the junior of the ship.
Bainbridge sailed from Boston on his cruise, October 26t h, 1812, having the Hornet 18, Capt. Lawrence, in company . . The Essex was to leave the Delaware about the same time , and to join the commodore at Port Praya. This function w as never effected, however, and the Constitution stood acro ss to the coast of Brazil, reaching St. Salvadore Decembe r 13th. Here the Hornet was left to blockade an English sl oop of war, that was carrying specie, while the Constitutio n cruised to the southward. On the 29th she fell in with a nd captured the enemy's frigate, the Java, after a bloody c ombat of near two hours' duration; the particulars of whic h are to be found in our sketch of BainbridgeÂ’s life. Afte r destroying his prize, the commodore went into Salvador, w here he landed his prisoners on parole.
In this battle, Shubrick was stationed on the gundeck wh ere he did his duty, as usual. His customary good fortune a ttended him, for he was not injured, though the loss of th e ship was considerable. Alwyn died of his wounds, and Bain bridge himself was hurt seriously, though the danger was fo rtunately subdued. This made the third of ShubrickÂ’s comba ts, without speaking of the celebrated chase.
It would seem, now, that Shubrick's luck began to be rat ed against that of the Constitution herself. Lieut., now C om. Ballard, was desirous of getting into the frigate, i n the hope that she might have another fight, while Lawrenc e was willing to take Shubrick in exchange, trusting he wou ld bring his good fortune, and certain he would bring his g ood conduct, with him. The exchange was effected according ly, and the Constitution sailed for home, January 6, 1813 , leaving the Hornet still blockading the Bonne Citoyenne . After remaining off the port alone, eighteen days, Lawren ce was chased into the harbor by the Montague 74, and the n running out to sea, he made sail to the northward. On th e 24th of February, the Hornet fell in with, engaged, an d captured the British sloop of war Peacock 18, Capt. Peake , after a close and warm combat of only fifteen minutes. Th e result is well known; the prize sinking, while Lieut., no w Com. Conner, and Midshipman, now Capt. Cooper, were on bo ard of her. These gentlemen, and most of their men, were s aved in the Peacock's launch, but several of their companio ns, as, well is a good many of the English, went down in th e brig. In this engagement Shubrick acted as the Hornet's first lie utenant. Mr. Walter Stewart, of Philadelphia, was on boar d and his senior,but that gentleman was ill in his berth, a nd unable to do duty. Lawrence commended the conduct of hi s new officer, and every, one who witnessed it spoke of i t in the same terms. Of course Shubrick remained in the Hor net until she reached home, carrying with him a reputatio n for good fortune, as well as good conduct, that was ver y enviable in an officer of his rank. He had now been fou r times in action; three times successfully within the las t eight months, or within the seven months he had been at s ea. In addition to this, he was in the ConstitutionÂ’s chas e, an exploit worth a victory any day. These were some comp ensation for the attack of the Leopard, and so did Mr. Shub rick not alone feel them to be, for they were thus regarde d by the service and the country.
Shubrick continued attached to the Hornet for some tim e after her return, and sailed in her, under Capt. Biddl e when Com. Decatur's squadron was chased into New London . Previously to this, however, an amusing instance of th e influence of his fortunes on the minds of his brother off icers occurred. A report was circulated that an enemyÂ’s br ig was cruising close in with the eastern outlet of the Sou nd, and the Argus went out to look for it. Shubrick went . in her, as a volunteer, hoping,that his usual good fortun e might bring on a combat The enemy's cruiser was not met, , however, and the Argus returned to sail on her cruise und er Allen. Finding that there was little chance of getting out in th e Hornet, Shubrick got transferred to the United States, th us joining the ship of his old commander, Decatur, once mor e. Under this distinguished officer he continued to serv e until near the close of his own career.
The summer that Com. Decatur's squadron was blockaded i n the Thames, Lieut. Shubrick was married to Elizabeth Mat ilda Ludlow, a young lady of one of the old and respectabl e families of New York. This new connection was formed in t he height of a war, but could not lead our young officer f rom the obligations of duty. When Decatur left the United S tates and Macedonian lying in the river, where they continu ed until the peace, in order to take the President, Lieut . Shubrick, in conjunction with most of his officers, wa s transferred along with him. Shubrick ranked as the secon d lieutenant of this fine frigate, having Warrington, and s ubsequently Fitz Henry Babbitt, as the first. Babbitt was b ut a year or two older in service than he was himself, and , they had already been shipmates once before, in the unfor tunate Chesapeake. In that frigate, Babbitt had been one o f the oldest of the midshipmen, and Shubrick one of the you ngest
The President did not get to sea until January 14th, 18 15. That very night, she fell in with an English squadron c onsisting of the Majestic, razee, Endymion, Nymphe, and Ten edos frigates. As resisting such a force was out of the qu estion, a long chase ensued, during which the Endymion, a h eavy frigate,succeeded in getting so near as to compel Deca tur to engage, in order to avoid the hazard of being crippl ed by her chase guns. A long and bloody action ensued, duri ng which both ships suffered severely, the American more pa rticularly in officers and men. Shubrick, as second lieute nant, commanded the forward division of the gun-deck. But M r. Babbitt falling early in the engagement, by being hit i n the knee by a round shot, the,commodore sent for Shubric k to supply his place, and he was virtually the first lieut enant of the ship during the remainder of the trying scene s of that day and night. After crippling and quitting the E ndymion, the President endeavored to escape from the remain der of the squadron, which now drew near. The attempt was u seless, however, and the Tenedos and Nymphe having closed a nd commenced a fire, the colors were hauled down. This was the second time that Shubrick had seen the Americ an ensign lowered to the English, but it now occurred unde r circumstances that rather added lustre, than the reverse , to the national flag. If he had seen the ensign in whic h he took so much pride twice lowered, he had the conscious ness of having seen it compel that of the enemy to yield th ree times, in actions of ship to ship. In this bloody battle no less than three of the President' s lieutenants were killed, viz. Babbitt, Hamilton, and Howe ll. Decatur himself was injured but, as usual, Shubrick es caped unharmed. He was carried a prisoner to Bermuda, bu t was shortly after released by the peace. Irvine Shubrick , the youngest of the four brothers, was on board the Presi dent, as a midshipman, on this occasion, and on his first c ruise.
Although the country, substantially, had a release fro m the pains and penalties of war, in 1815, it was not so wi th the subject of this sketch. Algiers had begun her depre dations on American commerce shortly after the Dey fancie d the English power would leave him without any grounds o f apprehension from the little marine that had made so dee p an impression on the Barbary States, in its conflict wit h Tripoli. It remained, therefore, to smash this treacherou s aggression, which had no other motive than a wish to plun der. Decatur was offered a squadron for this purpose the mo ment he got home, and he hoisted his pennant in the Guerrie re 44, a new frigate that had been built during the Englis h war, and which had never been to sea. The Commodore ha d become too sensible of the merits of Shubrick to leave hi m behind, and the latter was immediately attached to the Gu erriere, as her first lieutenant.
Decatur sailed from New York, May 21st, for the Mediterra nean, having under his orders three frigates, and seven slo ops, brigs and schooners, or ten sail in all. The Guerrier e reached Tangiers, June 15th, and communicated with the co nsul. From this gentleman the commodore ascertained that t he Algerine admiral had been off the port only the day befo re, and that he had sailed for Cartagena, in Spain, at whic h port he intended to touch. The squadron made sail immedi ately, and, without touching at Gibraltar, it entered the M editerranean. Decatur called out by signal, however, in pas sing, three of his vessels that had separated in heavy weat her, and rendezvoused at the Rock, by instructions. On th e 17th, the Americans came up with and engaged the Algerin e admiral, in a frigate, chasing a large brig, that was i n company, on shore at the same time. The Constellation wa s the first to engage, but Decatur soon shoved the Guerrier e in between the combatants, driving the enemy from his gun s by his broadsides. In making this discharge, one of Guerr iere's guns bursted, blew up the spar-deck, and killed or w ounded from thirty to forty-five men. A large fragment of t he breech of this gun passed so near Shubrick as to hit hi s hat; and still he escaped without a wound. Shortly after , the Algerine struck, after suffering a fearful loss.
Decatur got off the brig, which was also captured, and s ending his prizes into Cartagena, he proceeded to Algiers , off which place he arrived on the 28th. Here he dictate d the terms of a just treaty with the regency, both partie s signing it on the 30th June; or just forty days after th e squadron had left America!
This rapid success put it in the power of Decatur to giv e Shubrick a high proof of the respect and confidence in wh ich he held his character. Capt. Lewis, of the Guerriere, h ad been married a very short time before he sailed, and, no w the war was so soon and so honorably terminated, he fel t a natural wish to return to his bride. Lieut. B.J. Neale , of the Constellation, was in the same situation, he and C apt. Lewis having married sisters. These two gentlemen go t leave of absence, as soon as the treaty was signed, wit h a view to return to America. This enabled the commodore t o order Capt. Downes, of the Epervier, to his own ship, an d to give the former vessel, with an acting appointment, t o Shubrick, who was directed to sail immediately for the ne arest American port. It is understood that Shubrick himsel f was also selected to bear the treaty; a high distinctio n under the circumstances.
The Epervier sailed from Algiers early in July, 1815, an d is known to have passed the Straits of Gibraltar, about t he 10th of the month; since which time no certain informati

"Of my mother's two sisters, the elder, Mary, did not marr y till middle age, but spent her youth & early womanhood a t home. She had a large share of the beauty, which distingu ished the family & was quiet & amiable with less of vivacit y & imagination than either of her sisters, but of a practi cal matter-of-fact disposition, & very attentive to her dev otional duties. She was addressed by Mr. Elias Horry, a wid ower with a son & two daughters. I remember his formal visi ts to Belvedere in his handsome coach with outriders, his s tately walk upstairs with his gold headed cane, & his punct uality of arrival & departure. In due time, & after the com pletion of regular approaches, he carried his point, was ac cepted, & married, & took her to his home in the ancestra l Mansion, the solid substantial rough cast house at the corner of Meeting & Tradd Sts, Char leston, where she spent the rest of her days, surviving him , & two of her children, a son & daughter, t v leaving a da ughter & three sons. She was a brave woman, & in the days o f Nullification shewed her readiness to meet danger in th e spirit of her forefathers. She mingled little in society , but lived for & among her children, to whose welfare sh e gave herself up with entire self-sacrifice, &, though no t always with the dearest perception of what would be for t heir highest good, yet with a sincere desire for the promot ion of their best interests in this world& in the next.

General Notes for Child Decima Cecilia Shubrick
My Aunt Decima, the youngest of the daughters & older onl y than Uncle Irvine, was the pet of the family in my earl y childhood. As I first remember her she was just growing u p, in vigorous health, of finely developed form, & of a com mending style of beauty. I thought her then the most lovel y of human beings, & indeed she was very striking in appear ance with her fine bust, her magnificent dark & full eyes , her nose slightly Roman,her chiselled lips & chin, her vo ice of silvery clearness. She was an exquisite reader of po etry & we all used often to listen to her with great pleasu re as she recited choice passages from favourite authors in her own superior style. Scarcely was she grown up when sh e was addressed by Mr. James Heyward, son of Judge Thomas H ayward, a kind-hearted man but in no way worthy of her, wh o nevertheless was successful in his suit & they were marr ied. He soon lived through his fortune & his health & she w as left a widow with a daughter and a son, in hope of suppo rting whom more adequately she removed, to Wilmington, Dela ware, & spent the remaining years of the lives of her child ren, both at whom married & have left families, but have be en lost sight of by me for several years, so that I do no t know now whether she, or which, if any, of them, is aliv e still.
