TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
The notice in your paper few days since, of the
Hon. James A. Bayard recently elected Senator Of the
United States from the State of Delaware contains two
statements which demand some notice.
The first IT, that he is the auth or OF work on the
constitution Of the United States This Is error
the work in question was written by James Bsysrd,
Esq, member Of the Philadelphia bar
Your article further states that the Bayard family
Of Delaware claim to be dssce from the Chevaer
Bsyard Of France the good knight without fear and
without repreach,n as he was called by his contempo
raries Perhaps they do make this claim and perhaps
1t s well founded, for ones ancestors, traced back
few centuries, multiply greatly; but the name proves
nothing Of the hind for the name OF the Chevaer was
Pierre du Terldi and he, added De Bayard, from the
chateau at which he was born, just rs John Smith
might now style himself John Smith, of smithvile.
The life of the Chevalier makes mention Of his being
married The name Of the hayward family Of Scotland
corrupted 10 Baysrd, and from them families
in the United States probably derived To suppose
that the name Bsyard is proof Of descent from the
Chevaler s about reasonable as to conclude that
every Mr.. York Ia descen nded from a Duke Of York.
