Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annual Report of the American Historical Association for the Year 1913, Vol. 2 of 2 Such a collection of papers as is here presented derives its value both from the importance of the era with which it deals and from the relation of its central figure to the events of that era. In the present case there can be no question concerning the significance of the period. The apt phrase "the critical period" might well have been applied to the years 1796-1815 when the Republic was still struggling to find herself, to adjust her relations to European countries, and to gain recognition from them as an independent nation. Nor can there be doubt of the importance of Bayard´s relation to all this. Entering Congress as a member of the dominant party, he continued his service after that party´s downfall and indeed, partly because of local conditions and family connections but largely because of his own character, rendered his most valuable service after the removal of the Federalists from power. Though few families in our history have contributed so many men to public life as has the Bayard family yet little from the pens of its members or concerning them has found its way into print. The history of the Bayards in America carries us back to 1647, when there came from Holland to New Amsterdam with Peter Stuyvesant, his sister Anna, widow of Samuel Bayard, bringing with her three sons and one daughter. The James A. Bayard of the present volume was descended from the oldest of these sons, Petrus, who accumulated land in both New York and Maryland and who was for a time identified with the Labadists of Bohemia Manor. Samuel, the oldest son of Petrus, returned to Bohemia Manor, where his father had remained but a short time, and there married, first, Elizabeth Sluyter, and later, Susanne Bouchelle, and built the home which for many years remained the Bayard home. Here his son James brought his wife Mary Ashton (as the name was then spelled) and here the first James Ashton Bayard was born, August 11, 1738. Of this James A. Bayard little is recorded; he became a surgeon, he married in 1760 Agnes Hodge, ten years later he died, leaving three children, John Hodge, James Asheton, and Jane.
