Whore She Died.

WIZ 70 ~ N.ef'
Whore She Died.
The story of the destruction Of Robin,
son Cruesoe's island and its subsequent
denial brings to mind the fact that the
niece Of Daniel DeFoe lived at Calvert,
Cecil county, where she married and
died. The name Of DeFoe's niece was
Elizabeth Maxwell. She was IS years
of age when she left her uncle's home
in London. The cause for her departure
Is said to have been on account OF the
attentions of a young man of whom her
mother and uncle disapproved. The
young lady is said to have been de-
termined girl, and boarding a vessel
she agreed to be sold for a term of years
to pay her passage to the new world.
She reached Philadelphia in the autumn
of IT'S and was sold with several others
who had been brought over on the YES
sci. Her purchaser was Andrew Job,
of Brick Meeting house, now Calvert,
Md
In 1926 Miss Elizabeth was married
in the old meeting house to Thomas
Job, son of the old Quaker who bought
her. After the wedding she wrote her
uncle and informed him of her wherea-
bouts and circumstances. DeFoe re-
piled that her mother was dead, but
SOME property had been willed to her.
The author expressed great desire that
his niece take good care Of the effects
that had been left her, as they had de-
seconded 10 the family from their Elem
ish ancestors, who sought refuge under
Queen Elizabeth from the tyranny OF
Philip, Of Spain.
Several pieces Of the furniture are
still in the keeping Of descendants In
Cecil county, among them two chairs
owned by Hannah Grifflth, both COM
ing from DeFoe's study. One Is in its
original condition. 1t Is heavy chair.
with oalsen seat and carved legs and
back. Daniel DeFoe Job, one of Eliza
beth Jobs grandsons, describes his
grandmother as little old woman, pas
sionately fond of flowers, and retain
ing her activity of mind and body until
the end of her life, in 1872, aged So years.
Another grandson, Andrew Job, the
hermit of Nottingham Forest, died in
the 92d year Of his age. The sole de-
scendantbearingt heJob name is Haines
