Gen. A. T. A. Torbert
Was Leading MiIitarist
CONTINUED from page I'D


He married a Milford girl, Miss
Mary Currey, the daughter of Dan
iel Currey. His wife is well remem-
bered for the gracious hospitality
that she dispensed for many years.
In 1869 he entered the consular
service and was appointed Resident
Minister to the Republic of Saliva
dor, and in 1871 became Consul
General in Havana. In 1873 he was
appointed Consul General in Paris,
where he was remarkably popular
and made many friends. When he
and Miss Molly as she was af-
fectiOnately known, returned from
France they brought with them
magnificent furnishings for their
home; ornaments and articles of
virtu that helped make her draw
ing room perhaps the most charm
ing in Milford. Some few are yet
living who remember her hand
some Partisan gowns made by
Worth.
General Torbert's. end was quite
IN keeping with the rest of his
career. He was on the Vera Cruz
when she went down on the coast
of Florida in 1880, and lost his life
the lives of helpless women and
children. 1t was a month before his
body arrived in Milford, and his
funeral is said to have been the

Hill, Md.
AT the close of the Revolution.
Captain Pettigrew, like many others
found himself in somewhat reduced
circumstances. He had about 500
French crowns, 40 slaves, and a sea-
going schooner. In the latter he
sailed to Philadelphia, where he
traded his vessel for the farm la
ter known as the Hezekiah Masten
Farm, and now owned by him. Soon
after establishing his family on this
farm, he received word Of the
death of his uncle, Admiral Petit
grew, of the British Navy, from
whom he inherited some property in
Scotland. He was obliged to go
there to make proof of his identity,
and was detained there two years,
sold his inheritance, returned, and
with the money purchased the
house, then in an unfinished condi-
ton, on North West Front street,
where Charles Windsor now re-
sides.
Captain Pettigrew had three chill
dren: Ann, who married DR.. Mark
Grier; Margaret, who married Dr.
Joseph Sudler, and Leah. who mar
ried James Millechamp.
The present Milford Chapter has
chosen to honor another Delaware
Revolutionary hero, Captain JOna-
than Caldwell, whose name they
bear. Captain Caldwell was born
and lived on a farm near FELTON,,
part of a grant originally known as
"Burberry's Berry"
Captain Caldwell's Company was
part of Colonel John Hazlet's
First Delaware Regiment, which re-
ported for duty in January of 1776.
The Regiment was often referred to
as 1.-The Fighting Delawares," but
early in the conflict earned the title
of "The Blue Hens Chickens" a So
briquet that has come to be proud
ly accepted by all Delawareans.
Tradition says that the term "Blue
Hens Chickens arose from the
fact that when the Regiment was
encamped on Long Island, the men
in Caldwells Company had brought
with them two game cocks, and
greatly enjoyed the spectacle of a
cock fight, then a very common
sport. These had been Matched by
Blue Hen, a breed noted for it's
fighting qualities, so that it was a
popular saying that no cock was a
winner whose mother was not a
Blue Hen. The breed was rather
small, without superfiOus flesh; of
steely blue color, and of variety

City Is Proud

DARCbaPter
Caldwell Unit Is Success
sOr To Original Petit
grew Chapter; Charter
Members Listed.

Milford is very proud of it's ac-
tive d. A. r. Chapter. After the
passing Of many of the original
members of the first (Pettigrew)
Chapter in Milford, the society died
away through lack of membership.
and it is only recently that public
spirited citizens have organized the
present Caldwell Chapter as sue
cessor to the original Pettigrew
Chapter.
The original Chapter in Milford
was founded in 1898 largely
through the efforts of Miss Svrona
Hall, who was a tireless worker in
its behalf and the first Regent.
The charter members were:
Mrs. James SandersOn
Mrs. Ida Sipple Bromley
Miss May Hazard Fisher
Miss Ann p. Grier
Mrs. Kate N. Hardcastle
Mrs. Elizabeth McCallum
Mrs. Anna Y. Prettyman
Miss Lavinia Karsner
Mrs. Ernest PulsfOrd
Miss Virginia Grier Yardley
Mrs. COrnelia Bradley
In 1913 Miss Hall was succeeded
as Regent by Mrs. Anna Y. Pretty
man. In the following years the
chapter dwindled in membership
due to removals and transfers to
other towns and by 1920 or there
aDouts was no longer actice.
The original chapter took its
name from Miss Syrene's ansces-
tor, Revolutionary veteran, Can
tain John Pettigrew, whose father.
James Pettigrew, imIhigrated to
this country from Scotland, and
settled in Virginia. John Pettigrew
married a Miss McNeal of Snow

that is now nearly extinct. Later
when these troops went into action
and fought so herOically, the sol
diers nearby cried out: "See how
the Blue Hens Chickens fight"
The Caldwell Chapter has for its
Regent and able organizer, Miss
Catherine Downing. The society is
now thriving one, and the follow
ing are its charter members:
Mrs. Carlton G. Fooks
Mrs. Mark R. Ulery
Mrs. Douglas Fry
Mrs. John G. Truitt
Mrs. J., Raymond Bennett
Mrs. William v. Sipple, Jr.

Lightning's Chances

According to Westinghouse data.
IN isolated building 100 feet square
and 80 feet high. is likely to be
struck by lightning on the average
OF once every 10 or IS years. By
the seemingly simple precaution
OF putting a mast or lightning rod
% feet high on top of the roof, the
building itself then would be hit
only once in 5000 years. The mast,
however, would be struck every
three years-with no damage re-
sulting.

Col. B. c. Potter Was
Local Philantropist

that day. 1t is his will, however,
that makes him forever memorable
in the annals of the town. He lived
in a day when state relief for the
poor or the aged was unknown, the
single alienation for such cases
being the County Aims House. OF
this remedy, Col. Potter had a sal
utary horror. He thought, and
thought wisely, that there was in
dUstriOus poor, made so by mis-
fortunes of life through no fault
of their own. It was for these un-
fOrtunates that Col. POtter's now
famous will was drawn. He beQuea-
thed hundreds of acres and a num-
Der Of town lots to be held in trust
for the poor white citizens of Kent
County" His desire was to give an
industrious man a new start in life
with a piece of land, firewood, and
a roof. His purpose is clearly sta
ted in his Testament:
Il wish it to be clearly under
stood that no part Of my beQuest
shall be applied to the use or bene-
fit Of any person or persons resfd-
ing within the walls of the poor
house, but to be distributed a
mongst such only of the poor who,
by timely assistance, may be kept
from being carried to the Poor
House and becoming subjects
thereof"
1t must be admitted that Col. Pot
ter's ideas were far ahead of mis-
generation, and that he assumed a
responsibility that has only been
recognized by the State in very re-
cent times. For this reason, his
name will be long remembered by
his fellow citizens.
