 Among those (he observed who form. ed a part Of the settlement during the re-
 vOlntiouary struggles was q poor widow,
 who. having buried her husband was left in poverty, with the task upon her hands of taising three sons. Of these. the two eldest. ere long, fell in the cause of their country. and she struggled on with the youngest aa best she could. Alter the fall of Charleston and the disastrous de feat Of Col. Buford. of tho State of Yir. ginia. by Tarlton. permission Wan given to some four or five American females to carry necessaries and provisions. and ad, minister some relief to the prisoners on board the prison ship and in the jails al Charleston. This widow was one of the. volunteers upon this errand of mercy. She was admitted within the city, and. braving the horrors of pestilence, em ployed herself to the extent of her hum. ble means in alleYiating the deplorabls snffsrings of her countfymen. She knew what she had to, encounter; but, not withstanding, went bravely on. Her mission of humanity having been fulfilled she left Charleston on her return but alas her exposure to inc presidential at mospbefe she had been obliged to breathe liad planted in her system the seeds ol fatal disease; and ese she reached he, home, she sank under analtack of prison lever, 2 brave martyr to the cause of hus manity and patriotism. The dying mo. ther. who now rests in an unknoWn grave thus left her only son. the sole survivor of his family, 10 the world charity butI little did she dream. as death closed her eyes, the future of that orphan boy. The son became President of this free Repnb. lic--for that widow was the mother of Andrew Jackson."
