to their native country last October had all, through the care
of our agent and Richard WILKINSON, the interpreter, reached their

the settlement when the "Fidelity" arrived and their
mutual joy may be imagined more readily than described."
We are further informed of a singular occurance concerning another
of the ten. On their landing at the colony, this man immediately
met a native who had come down from the interior to trade, and
who was the very person who had sold the now liberated man as
a slave. He had captured him in war, and agreeably to custom,
sold him as his own property, and now (as soon as convinced that
the free man disclaimed all intention of revenge) accompanied
him home. Datelined Baltimore Feb. 14.

p.3, Waterford Factory Re-establishing The subscriber has this
establishment so far in operation as to be able to colour, card,
spin and weave pretty extensively, having two good carding machines
completely dressed (with new cards added whenever they were necessary)
and to be attended this season by Mr. HOGELAND, a highly accomplished
hand at the business, who has carded for Mr. John BRADEN the two
last years. The universal satisfaction which Mr. HOGELAND has
rendered to all his customers there affords the best argument
tht can be adduced in his favor, as a master of this branch of
the business; and we flatter ourselves from the qualifications
of our other hands, and the arrangement generally of our establishment
to render general satisfaction to all who may favour us with their
custom. We will either colour, card, spin or weave separately--or
take the wool and return it in cloth, finished in whatever color
or style may be required at prices that shall not be outdone by
any prudent manufacturer in point of cheapness. Any persons having
old wool on hand which they wish to have manufactured or simply
carded, will perhaps do well to bring it in before the time of
shearing the new crop., as we shall not otherwise have full employment
until that time and their work can be done immediately. [Placed

the business he hopes those having wool will favor him with their
custom, who may rely on its being done with despatch and in the
best manner.

5' 6" high or thereabouts--well made and of a dark complexion--can
work in or out of doors--is an excellent plantation hand--had
on when she eloped a striped lindsay [sic] frock with other coarse
clothing--a pair of coarse shoes nailed in the heels and soals
[sic] had a pair of store shoes and some other clothing not known.
I will give in the proportion of 20 dollars for every 50 miles
(not esxceeding 250) at which said girl may be apprehended from
the place of her elopement and all reasonable charges if brought
home, or secured in any jail so that I get her again. [Placed
by] Amos DENHAM N.B. Any gentleman that has any knowledge of said
girl will confer a favor by addressing a letter to Mr. Oliver
DENHAM, Middleburg, Loudoun County. It is supposed she is sculking

June 15, 1824: p.3. Waterford Factory. This establishment in
now in operation and in good order for manufacturing and articles
in our line, consisting principally of superfine, second, and
coarse cloths (woven and dressed either broad or narrow ) casimeres,
casinetts, satinetts, blankets (broad or narrow) linsays [sic],
flannels, etc. etc. all or any of which can be executed agreeable
to directions in the neatest manner and at short notice for any
that may please to favour us with their custom. An extensive fulling
dyeing and finishing establishment which wa originally built as
an appendange to the Waterford Factory, and which has been occupied
for several years past by Mr. JANNEY, situate on the Big Cotoctin
[sic] Creek, has, in order to guard against delays incident to
dry seasons been lately added to the establishment. William MAYNE,
who learned his profession in Leeds (England) and who stands highly
recommended as a cloth finisher, etc. in this country, conducts
this branch. We will receive country cloths to dress, and wool
to manufacture, at the Factory in Waterford or at the Fulling
Mill on the Cotoctin; at John M'CORMICKS store in Leesburg; at
Charles HAMILTON's store at the Cross Roads; at Daniel JANNEY's
Mill, in the Goose Creek neighborhood, at Samuel CLENDENING's
store, Hillsborough; at the store of D. & P. BOLAND, in the Ger-
[sic--end of line] Settlement; at Samuel E. HENDERSONS (formerly
CONRAD's Tavern) between the Cotoctin Mountain and Potomac River;
and at George L. LACKLAND's, near the Seneca Mills, Montgomery
Co, Maryland, and return them promptly when finished, to the above
places respectively. The prices, owing to the great number of
articles to be made, and the variety in each, it would be exceedingly
troublesome to give with exactness; but we simply state that the
best superfine wool manufactured into broad cloth with the most
costly colours, will not exceed three dollars per yard, varying
from this in proportion with the several qualities, down as low
as 50 cents per yard, fulling and dying [sic] included. We are
aware that high charges would operate against ourselves; our prices,
therefore, shall be suited to the time and in order to accomodate
customers[,] wool will be received in payment. We confidently
believe, from the qualfications of the workmen and the zeal apparent
in all, to establish the credit of the Factory that we do and
shall deserve a share of public patrons.

Died on Wednesday last after a few hours illness at his late residence,
Exedra, Loudoun County, Dr. James HEATON, in the 65th year of
his age, highly respected and much regrettedn. Born Sussex County
New Jersey, Jan. 12, 1759, came to Loudoun County in 1786.
July 27, 1824:
p.2: On Thursday last Dr. CLAGGETT was called upon to visit a
lad by the name of FOX who from the carelessness or curiosity
incident to youth, while waiting at WELDON's Mills, had had his
right hand caught and shockingly mangled by some of the machinery
attached to the carding establishment. Upon examination it was
found necessary to amputate the hand which operation was immediately
performed. the boy is a resident of this county and about 11 years
of age.

Jesse TIMMS. [by] Geo. CARTER
July 27, 1824: p.3, The late Dr. James HEATON "With every
healing plant, his grave adorn." It is related of the illustrious
Boerhaave that on his recovery from a dangerous malady, the inhabitants
of Leyden caused all the bells of the city to be rung. If it were
not allowed to the very many who knew and loved the subject of
this notice, who had been healed and comforted by his professional
skill, to rejoice at his recovery, they have given evidence of
affection not less certain than did the people of Leyden in the
anguish which they manifested, the tears that were shed upon the
opposite issuance of his disorder. Born in Sussex Co, West New
Jersey, January 12, 1759, Dr. HEATON emigrated to Loudoun, Virginia
in the year 1786 and engaged in the practice of physic.--The modesty
of his manners soon attracted respect and upon the occurrence
of a severe and fatal epidemic about this time, it was engaged
in practice; and happily, distinguished as he was for his urbanity,
became not less distinguished for skill in his profession. While
this malignant disease (the putrid sore throat) from erroneous
principles and practice was destroying multituded, under the management
of the young stranger it was disarmed of its terrors.--To use
a figure of the illustrious Rush upon a like occasion, "the
destroying angel suddenly threw away his commission and retired
from an unequal contest with this highly favoured member of his
profession." The principles had been inculcated by his preceptor,
Dr. INGHAM, of Pennsylvania; and whilst you listened to the narrative
of grateful remembrances in which he extolled the virtues of his
patron, you were delighted; because it illustrated human nature
and added another master touch to that picture, which the Cynie
had delighted to do. The eclat of success, in the treatment of
this disease, introduced him at once into a considerable practice,
which in a few years became augmented to an extent hitherto unequalled
in this country.---Fortune, fame, gratitude followed; and the
moral excellences of his character seemed to him, in these last,
a little more durable than brass or marble--his monument is in
the hearts of his patients; it stands where they live. ----The
intercourse of Dr. HEATON with his professional brethren was marked
by modesty and politeness. Sincere and generous himself, a friendship
once established, it was not his fault it it did not last to the
end of life. The qualities of Dr. Heaton's mind were not remarkable
for their brilliancy. His distinguishing characteristics were
penetration, judgement and professional tact. In short, whether
he is viewed in the character of husband, father, friend or physician,
he was truly such an one as "we may not look upon his like
again." A FRIEND.

October 5, 1824: p.3, Abiel JENNERS departed this life on first

52 year of his age. He was born at Concord in the state of Massachussetts
and emigrated when a young man to the city of Washington at which
place he married Deborah YOUNG, a native thereof, and removed
with his family to this county in 1802, where he has resided ever
since. He was a very industrious and skilled farmer, a kind neighbor
and useful citizen having served for several years in the station
of a magistrate, with reputation to himself and advantage to the
neighborhood. Sensible as the loss of such a man is felt by a
community, it is in the domestic circle and in the bosom of his
own family that that loss is irreparable. He was a kind husband
and very affectionate father and spared no expense within the
limits of his circumstances (which were not inconsiderable) to
educate and provide for his children. Long will they mourn his
loss; but there is one who has promised to be a husband to the
widow and a father to the fatherless, if they put their trust
in him. Let not therefore, the afflicted mourn as those without
consolation.

His remains were interred in the burial ground belonging to the

attended by his Masonic brethren and a large concourse of citizens.
The deceased was a man of amiable manners and of a benevolent
disposition. He had been for 12 or 15 years a resident of Leesburg
and his skill in the medical profession had long since obtained
him a very extensive practice. He has left a bereaved and amiable
widow with a disconsolate family of small children to mourn their
irreparable loss. As there were few men which could claim a higher
standing in the affections of their fellow citizens, the early
demise of Dr. Wilson is most sensibly felt and deeply regretted
by the community of which he was a member.
November 9, 1824: p.3: Dr. I. Wilson's engagement heretofore
having been such as to preclude his devoting so much of his time

his time exclusively thereto, in all cases wherein his services
may be solicited. "Rosemont."

Wilson a relative of the greatly missed Dr. John T. and why is
it that he has been unable to help people to date?? At any rate,
