COL. SEATON on March 30, 1909, took a.
~ his wife, Sarah Weston Gales, daugh-
ter Of Joseph Gales Sr. His commodious resi-
dence. which he occupied from 1923 to the
time OF his death, June 16, 1866 was ON the
south side Of e street, between Seventh and
Eighth streets and it was here in 1924 that
he and Mrs. Seaton entertained the cele-
brated patriot, the Marquis de Lafayette, when
that distinguished Frenchman visited this
country.
Col Seaton served in the War of 1925,
ana was In the ranks when the Office of the
Inteligencer was destroyed by the British,
on August 25 1914, the day following the
triumphant entry of Gen. Ross and Admiral
Cockburn into Washington. 1t was the ad-
miral who took great pleasure in destroying
the Intelligencer's printing plant and pulling
down its building, which he would have burned,
had it not been for the opportunities of sew
eral women in the neghborhood who said
that if the building set on fire the
flames would spread to nearby property To
this he is said to have replied, well, good peo-
pie. do not wish to injure you. but really
am afraid my friend Josey will be affronted
with me- if after burning Jemmys palace, I
do not pay him the same compliment-so. my
lads, take your axes, pull down the house. and
burn the papers in the street"
According to Mrs. Samuel Harrison Smith:
"Cockburn often rode down the Avenue on an
old white mare, with long and tail,
and followed by its foal, to the dismay of the
spectators. He and all his soldiers were per-
fectly polite to the citizens. He stopped at a
door, at which young lady was standing, and
entered into familiar conversation. Now, did
you expect me such clever fellow; were you
not prepared to savage, furious
ture, such as Josey represented me? But you
see I am quite harmless don't be afraid I
will take better care of you than JENNY didH
Such was his manner. that of common sailor,
not dgnifed commander"
The capture of Washington at this time was
probably as big surprise to the enemy as it
was to the American Army, for it was less
than year before that Capt. Oliver Hazard
Perry had deciSively whipped the British on
Lake Erie, and in recognition of his achieve
ment, was banqueted In Washington at Tom
insons Hotel on Capitol Hill, which was put
to the torch by Admiral Cockburn the follow
ing Summer
- became mayors Of Washington. Mr. Gales
served from 1927 to 1929 and Col Seaton from
1910 to 1849. Undoubtedly both men were
popular, and surely Col Seaton was also sympa-
thetic, for during the potato famine in Ire
land in 1845 and 1886, when thousands died
from starvation and hundreds of thousands
emigrated to America, and at other times when
Erin was in distress, he always had a kind

dered such valuable service in our own Amer1-
can Revolution and in all our other wars as
well.
At this time meetings were being held all
over the country to provide food for stricken
Ireland and one was held at the old Odd Fell
lows Hall on Seventh street. where stands the
present building of that order. on February 9.
1847. Col Seaton was then mayor of WASH
ngton, and not only gave the meeting pub
icity in his paper, but took active part
in it well. The meeting was presided over
by Vice President George M. Dallas, and Daniel
Webster had this to say
THE occasion is quite a new one. fam
inc, bringing want and distress ON a great
portion of whole people, is unprecedented in
ChriStendom in this age. The calamities If
Ireland have been heard and read throughout
the country. and have touched all American
hearts. New improvements in communication
have brought nations into nearer neighborhood
with each other, and we hear the cries of Suf-
fering Ireland almost &C fresh and as strong as
if they had come from a part of our own
country. In this land of abundance, we know
nothing by our own experience, of famine,
and can hardly conceive of people dying in
families and by groups, through mere want of
food

THE name lexington" selected for this tract
which at time included than
100 acres-was taken from the name of q VII
1age in Sheffield England where the senior
Joseph Gales born 1761, and the Junior
there on April 10, 1786. The farm was bought
by Mr. Gales about 1876 and, according to
Mr. Bryan, "15 years later the only house
the place was one-story frame which
not finished The old mansion as many OF
us recall it, was built about 1890, and is de-
scr1bed as consisting "of two stories with cellar
basement; on the first were four rooms of
good size and a wide hall, with back build
ing, adding kitchen and servants rooms; the
upper floor had four chambers and 12-foot-
square library, where were written most OF the
editorials. The gate, Allen c. Clark writes,
was directly opposite to the north boundary
stone, on North Capitol street"
Mrs. Joseph Gales, jr., was before her mar
riage, Sarah Juliana Marie Lee daughter of
Theodorick Lee, an uncle of Gen. Robert E.
Lee, and it is probable that the Confederate
chieftain often visited his cousin, Sarah, at
lexington before the Civil War and while he
was yet in the United States Army.
