1790, Jul 81808-18221822, Nov
a Lieutenant in the United States navy, and a native of the city of Hudson. While a child, he was sent to school in London, England, but returned to Hudson only a year later, where he attended the Hudson Academy for boys before moving to the seminary in Doylestown, Pa., where he completed the remainder of his education. Quick, intelligent, and driven to achieve, he was appointed to midshipman in the United States navy in 1808. In 1811, his hard work earned him the commission of second lieutenant, and afterwards assigned to duty on the USS Argus.
