1der General Nathaniel Green. A.

under General Nathaniel Green. AS
such, at the battle of Eutaw, he led
the bayonet charge that, swept the
field and secured victory for the
patriots. For this he was brevetted
brigadier-general. Then. near the
close of the war, General Greene
sent him to Congress with dispatches,
and that body promoted him to the
rank of brigadier-general.
After the close of the war, Will
liams settled at Baltimore and the
Governor of Maryland appointed
him collector of the Port of Balti-
more, which position was later ex-
tended by our first President, Wash
ington. During the time that he
filled this position, Williams bought
two tracts of land in Washington
County; one near the mouth of the
Conococheague, and the Springfield
estate. In the year 1877 he laid out
the town of Williamsport on the
Conococheague tract.
There are few interesting details
in connection with one of the family
names mentioned above, the Fitz-
hughs. 1t seems that this family had
close connection with the Royal line
in Britain, and several were signers
of the Magma Charta. One Fitzhugh
name is to be found on the roll of
the Battle Abbey. The family of
Fitzhughs that were from the 'Rav-
ellsworth Castle" were also prom
inent leaders in the Crusades. This
same family took active part for the
Lancasters in the war of the Roses.
But to me, one of the most inter
esting things is found concerning
one Col William Fitzhugh, of the
British army, at the time of the
American Revolution. He refused
to fight against the American Colon
les, and voluntarily gave us his COM
mission, and was actually detained
as a prisoner for the duration of the
War.
The Fitzhughs of this area, and all
of America, are supposedly descend
ed from one immigrant, named Will
liam Fitzhugh, and there is no doubt
but that this one and the British
Colonel were related.

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

Back to the War of 1776 again.
An interesting detail, hidden among
the volumes of happenings, which
had its ending near Hagerstown, if
not detected and wiped out, could
have had serious consequences and
changed at least several pages of
history. This was surely good
illustration of ga stitch in time saw
ing nine"
This incident had to do with man
by the name of DR.. John Connolly,
from Pennsylvania, and labeled
''Tory." This man had received
commission from Lord Dunmore to
go to the frontier section and there
stir up support for the British. Per
haps it was thought that the more
recent arrivals from that country
would more readily give allegiance
to the old country. And then he was
to march a force of men back
through Frederick County (this sec
ton was then included in that
county, and thus separate the
American forces by cutting off COM
munications between the North and
the South
DR.. Connolly had gathered group
of men to go to the western border
and was on his way there when he
was arrested near Elizabeth Town.
He had written copies of his COM
mission so well hidden on his per-
son, or in his supplies, that they
were never found. But the fright
that accompanied his arrest was so
great that he confessed his entire
proposed course of action. He and
his party were sent to Philadelphia,
which was then headquarters for the
American effort, and that is the last
we heard about them.
Last week this column told about
two companies of men who marched
and took part in the Revolution, men
from this valley part of Maryland.
We are told that this section also
furnished considerable quantities of
supplies for the war needs, and that
there were always purchasing agents
buying from the local farmers. Dur
ing the winter of 1778 Hagerstown
was the winter quarters for num-
Der of soldiers, and in the line of
direct war materials, cannon were
cast in the furnaces of Daniel and
James Hughes, located in the An
tietam Iron Works, near Sharpsburg.
AS there were numerous powder fac
tories later, it is also likely that some
of these were in existence at that
time and were manufacturing pow
der which helped to win our indie
pendence. There were also numer-
GUS smaller makers of wooden goods,
which supplied the Army with
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1950-07-27

blankets. And in another way this
section felt the actual presence of
the conflict, when British prisoners
of war were detained at Fort Fred
erick.
Here are few more names of men
who did outstanding service in that
great struggle, besides those men
toned as leaders of the companies
which marched early in the war.
Captain Morgan mustered company
from around Shepherdstown and
Captain William Heyser later led
another company from Elizabeth
Town, these in addition to the two
companies led by Cressap and Price.
Others who distinguished themselves
were Captain John Hughes, Peri
CRIME and William Fitzhugh, Perry
Benson, Col. Henry Gather and the
young lieutenant of Captain Prices
Company, Ohio Holland Williams.
This man has been referred to as
one of the most distinguished and
brilliant officers of the Revolution.
His family had reached Maryland
in the very early days of the Prov
ince, his parents being Joseph and
Prudence Holland Williams. Both
parents died while he was only 10
and he was soon hired in the clerks
office of the local County, then Fred
erick
When the two early companies of
men reached Boston, the captain of
the second, Captain Price, was pro-
NOTED, and Ohio Williams became
the Companies captain In the bat
tie for Fort Washington on the Hud-
son River, Williams had to assume
command of the entire regiment, for
the colonel was absent, and the
lieutenant colonel, Rawlings, was
wounded. In this battle, the Amer
leans were out-numbered and final
ly had to surrender. So for the next
fifteen months, Williams, along with
many of his friends from this sec
ton, was a prisoner. For part of
this time they were confined to a
sugar warehouse" Conditions and
the treatment were severe, with
many resulting deaths to prisoners.
But in spite of this, and wounds re-
ceived in the battle, he survived.
In 1778 he became the subject of
an exchange of prisoners and was
actually exchanged for a British
officer friend of his, one Major Ack-
land. Out of prison, and back in
service, he was given full command
of the Sixth Maryland Regiment.
Subsequently, Williams was dep
uty acknowledgement of the army
under General Horatio Gates, taking
part in the battle of Camden. Then
he was appointed adiutant- general

A NEW WHITE HOPES
A COMING

Ever since Joe Louis became
heavyweight champion of the
world, some Is years ago, certain
elements in the boxing world have
been seeking in vain a white hope
"a nice way of saying a white
man to prove his superiority to the
world.
Because Louis was so good, that
became an impossibility-except
for Billy Conn once. In fact a
black hope, ancient Jersey Joe Wal
colt came too close to stopping
Louis. After Louis retired Ezzard
Charles was declared champion.
Since Charles has become vulner-
able to what is called a heart
something, the desire for a white
hope has become greater. Such
nondescripts as Lee Oma, Lee
Savold, Joey Maxim, and Bruce
Woodcock, however, have proven
to be very unacceptable.
In Chicago, however, there seems
to be a prospect of a real white
hope young Earl Suddeth of
Rockford, Illinois, doomed as the
greatest Golden Gloves prospect
since Joe Louis more than Is
years ago.
Suddeth reared through the
tournament with a series of one
round kayoes that had every sports
writer's typewriter banging away
about his future. Wednesday night
he pummelled European champion
Degl 'Inocenti of France for three
rounds in the international Golden
Gloves battle
If Suddeth gets a good manager,
who will not consider money above
the boys personal interests and
development, he should go a long
way-financially and in the hearts
of the fans. He is the n really
good fighter to appear in this
years Golden Gloves meet.
If he stays in the boxing game,
in a few years you should see the
name of Earl Suddeth as one of the
top heavyweights of the day. In
fact from this corner, he is the
one white hope" with a future.

hits. Hank got two hits for four
times at bat.
Other batting honors were shared
