Narrative of Maria Edwards, daughter of John B. Seawell and Maria Henry Tyler.

My grandfather, after his marriage, continued to live with his parents at their seat (Gloucester Place), which at their death he inherited. My grandfather was a vestryman of Abingdon church. He died at forty-six years of age, leaving my father and his old friend, Benjamin Dabney, his exors. He left a very large estate, lands and negroes. My father went first to the grammar school, and then to the college of William and Mary. His father said he regretted having sent him to William and Mary because he came home a Democrat, he being a Federalist. I heard my father say that after he was married it was proposed at a large dinner party at Belle Farm (Col. Lewis' residence) that his father should be brought out as a candidate for the Legislature, and the votes of those present were taken on the proposition. When father's turn came to vote he said he would not vote for him, when his father immediately declined the proposition, saying he could not consent to run if his own son would oppose him.
