Stinson, Esq., aud pub lished in the old Chester Palmetto (S. C.) Standard more than-fifty years ago. The heroine of the story has a large number of relatives in this County, and the remains of her father, Rev. John Simpson, who is mentioned in the article, sleep in the Roberts Churchyard. - EDITOR INTELLIGEN CER.] This lady is the daughter of the Rev. John Simpson, who was much distinguished for the zeal with which he espoused the cause of liberty in the earliest period of our struggle. Her mother's family name was Renier. They came from the State of Delaware, and settled on Fishing Creek, in Ches ter District. He was the first regular pastor of Fishing Creek Church. Mr. Simpson had been preceded in the work of planting the Gospel in this then thinly settled and destitute scope of country, by the Rev. Wil liam Richardson, (the maternal uncle of the late Gen. "W. R.-Davie.) who came out as a missionary, and settled in the Waxhaws. In the true spirit of his mission, he preached daily in the different settlements; extending his visits to the distance of often sixty and seventy miles from his home. On these tours he would often be absent from his home *or months at a time. When Mr. Simpson came, he fol lowed in the footsteps of Mr. Richard son, preaching with a like zeal, and laboring as earnestly in the work of spreading the blessings of Gospel light and liberty. Many of the now flourishing congregations of Chester York, and adjacent Districts, were collected and organized by him. In those days the inhabitants thought it no hardship to ride a distance of 15 or 20 miles to hear the Gospel preached ; and that, too, on the days of the week; and in all seasons of weather. Nor had they then the comfortable houses in which their descendants now wor ship, but in the grove, with logs for their seats, and a rude structure of boards for the pulpit, they offered up their meed of devotion to the God of their fathers. The Rev. John Simpson was re garded as the head and adviser of the band of heroes, who had so signally defeated the enemy at Beokhamville and Mobley's; and in the presence of these heroes, did the enemy determine that he should be punished. They made the movement afterwards to the church, where they expected to find him and his congregation assembled; and it was at the time said, and never afterwards contradicted, that they in tended to burn the church', and all that should be in it, as the most ef fectual way of punishing the pastor and .the other disturbers of the King's peace. (On Sabbath morning, 11th June, 1780, whilst Mrs. Simpson was sitting at the breakfast table with her children, she heard the report of a gun, which caused her much alarm, as it was a thing unusual in that com munity. She afterwards learned that it was at the house of William Strong, and that he was killed by the enemy, on their way to the church.) They were, however, disappointed. Mr Simpson, on the Friday previous, had shouldered his rifle, and marched Off in ranks, under the command of Capt. McClure, a youth who, from his in fancy, had b:en reared under his min istry. The brave men of York and Chester were distinguished in every batttle-field. How much was owing the noble example of their pastor ! himself in their ranks, performing the duties of a private soldier, submitting to the rigorous discipline of the camp, and by his council, no less than by his services, stimulating them to the defence of their country! Whilst the enemy were at the church, some of the "sons of Africa," overhearing them express the inten tion to visit Mr. Simpson's house and to "burn the rascal out," hastened and informed Mrs. Simpson, advising her, if she did not hasten away, that she would be burned in the house. She looked out and saw the army com iug down the lane ! Picking up'only a set of silver tea-spoons, which she most prized as a gift from her mother, she took her four children and went out of the back door, and concealed herself in the rear of thc orchard. She was so situated as to bc able to watch their movements without being herself discovered. They rifled the house of everything that was valuable; took out four feather beds, and ripped them open in the yard; gathered up all the clothing, and selected for their own keeping such articles as they fancied; and having exhausted their wits in devising mischief, they finally set fire to thc house, and it was soon burned to the ground. As they were about leaving, they noticed an out house, which was usually occupied by Mr. Simpson as a study-room, and containing a valuable library of books. This they also set fire to. When they left, and were out of sight, she re turned to the house, got into the study-room and took out two aprons full of books. This was all she could save. She was very much, burned, and came near losing lier life, feathers in the yard took fire, succeeded in saving enough for bed. Sho hud then to go Lo the 1 of Mr.-. where she remained after her confinement, which place on that day four weeks. T she recovered, sh? went hack to own place, and tool- up her resid io a small out-house which had esc the tire of the enemy. Here wit! five children, and a youogMiss N she contrived to live; assisted r by the devoted people of her band's charge. Having procured ? cloth out of which to make clot for her children,-for the enemy not left them a single change, had cut it out, and was proceedir make it up, when a company of t( came along and plundered her als these. Upon her complaining, 1 ever, to the leader of the party, were ordered to deliver them u] her. Some of this gang were dre in Mr. Simpson's clothes. Theyw exultingly strut before her and her if they were not better loo! men than her husband, at the s time telling her that they would s day make her a present of her 1 band's scalp! This gang of tories took off the si of cattle. She plead with them leave her but one milk cow for little children; but her request refused. After going about two va further on their way they put the tie in a pen for the night; but large steers of .the flock broke during .the night, and opening the 1 for the rest, the entire flock retur home. During the time that Tarl?ton at White's Mill, three dragoons ci to Mrs. Simpson's. They were drunk; and one of them falling asl in his chair, the others went off ? left him. Miss Neely suggested propriety of killing him, sayi "these fellows have killed our frien if our men were here would they dispatch him? What they would ought not we to do to assist then To this Mrs. Simpson replied, 1 would be extremely wrong. Our a would only take him prisoner, and i change him for some one of our frier who are prisoners at Camden." Tl then thought to bind him fast, a bear him to Charlotte, North Carolii a distance of about forty-five mil but reflecting that they could not cc veniently go with him, the project v finally abandoned. Of the children of Mrs. Simpsc our heroine, Jane Boyd, was t eldest; and at that time was some 8 10 years of age. She is yet li vir and remembers distinctly of seei the red coats, and witnessing t scenes of distress and sufreri through which her mother passe The facts of the foregoing history a gathered from her; many of whi came within her own observatio Her father continued with the aru until the country was rescued fro the power of the enemy, and the tori subdued; and she thinks that he w engaged in most of the battles. After the war Mr. Simpson contii ued in charge of Fishing Creek ar Bethesda churches, occasionally su; plying Catholic, and some other smal er congregations. A few of his hea ers in the surrounding congregatioi had joined the enemy; and, althoug he could from his heart pity and fo give them, yet he could never plac confidence in them. This they sa and felt, and when churches of oth( denominations sprung around then they gladly withdrew from him an joined elsewhere. Between the years 17?? and 1S0C Mr. Simpson moved to the District c Pendleton, where he ended his days He was a clergyman of eminent piety of brilliant talents and worth. A was the case with most clergymen, h possessed7 but little worldly estate yet being au educated man himself he gave his sons and daughters a goot education. Some of these sons be came ornaments to the learned profes sions; and all of them formed alliance; by marriage with our best and mosi respectable families. Dr. Jame? Simpson married a daughter of Col. Jno. Bratton, another of bis sons mar ried a daughter of Cul. Pickens: a third married a daughter of Col. Mof fat: two others married into thc family of Sadler's, who had moved from York to Pendleton. Jane, the sub ject of this notice, was married first to James Neely, of Fishing Creek: and, after an absence of one or two years, returned to the place of her nativity. She had one son, whom she called for her father. John Simp son Neel}'. James Neely died in early life. She afterwards married John Boyd, by whom she had two daugh ters. Ile has been dead over twenty five years. Her son John S. Neely died some ten years ago, leaving a widow and several children. Of her daughters one is married to James Drennan, Esq., and thc other to a Mr. Heid. Mrs. Boyd, as already stated, is yet living, being about SO years of a.?e. She resides with her children, having her grandchildren around her. lu person she is slender: of a sprightly disposition: her countenance indica tive of much energy of character. She possesses a heart full of the kindliest feelings towards her fellow creature.*? ; always ready to render an act of kind ness, and to give her assistance to the neighboring families in sickness. She is called by every one "Aunt Jenny Boyd." In carly life she was in structed in the principles of thc Chris tian religion, and taught not to absent herself from the sanctuary on the Lord's day. This lesson she remem bers in her old age; and unless absent administering to the sick, she may on every Sabbath be found in her seat. What imagination can depict the re flections which course through her mind as. on each returning Sabbath, she takes her place in the house of worship! Here was it that she first heard theglad tidings of Gospel truth from the lips of her venerated father ! Here she meets not indeed those much loved friends and neighbors, who com menced with her the journey of life, and whose songs of praise assended with hers to the throne of the Most High, in times long gone by; but their children,-descendants not only of the first and second generations, but of the the third and fourth, and even of the fifth! bearing the same names, and in the lineaments of their faces recalling vividly to her imagination the features of the friends of her early youth! Where are now those much loved friends? As she treads with silent step through the large grave yard, the tomb stones with their brief inscriptions remind her that they are gone! Here, reposes an aged matron, whom in her youth she loved and venerated, and who was often held up to her as an example of piety! There, has long since mouldered the lovely form of a friend, whose joyous youth promised a length of years equal with hers! Here, reposes an aged sire, whose words of counsel helped to mould her infant character! and there, the once stalwart frame of a brave man, to whose protection she looked in the hour of danger! All, all, have long since died! Their dust has re turned to its kindred dust, and the place which once knew them, knows them no more, forever! The writer of this sketch, not hav ing the opportunity to visit her, re quested a friend to procure from her the incidents of her life. She told him that she would take time, and send it to him in her own handwriting. Shortly afterwards he received the communication, containing the inci dents which he has attempted to detail in this sketch; as also much other highly interesting matter which he has given in some other memoirs. He w;is struck, on receipt of the letter, with its remarkably correct orthogra phy and neatness of penmanship. The hand writing is fine, and such as would undoubtedly entitle any young lady, in a modern female school, to a premium. This is the more remark able from the fact, that for many years she has had no occasion to write, probably a few letters every year to her brothers, while they were living, furnished the only exercise for her pen. Her father gave his children what may be called a substantial edu- s cation, as contra-distinguished from the flimsy superficial education with which parents of the present day are too apt to be content. They were taught to think correctly, and to exercise good taste; and thus were acquired impres sions which have furnished sources of pleasure and happiness even to the latest period of life. The character of this estimable old lady is a fit example for the present day to imitate. Educated in the funda mental principles of knowledge: train ed in youth to think correctly; believ ing with unwavering faith in the truths of Christianity; with industry doing her office of kindness to those around her; respected by every one. and by every one regarded as a friend, she presents a picture challenging our admiration. With the meekness of an umble Christiau she awaits her ap pointed time: trusting her all. both here aud hereafter, to him tfho has promised to pass with her "through the valley aud shadow of death!" How true is it, that the latter end of the righteous is that of peace ! The life of the business woman is not easy. Usually it is a monotonous routine of work, often aggravated by the ill temper or stupidity of others. And when the physical con dition of the wom an keeps her in constant suffering, it makes her lot a hard one. So many women have found entire relief from the ills peculiarly feminine, by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, that it seems almost criminal to neglect the opportunity of a complete cure offered by the use of this medicine. You are invited to consult Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, X. V., either person ally or by letter free of charge. If your case is severe or others have failed to reach it, do not hesitate to write to or go and see Dr. Pierce. Your letter will be read in private, its contents treated as a sacred confidence, and an answer promptly returned in a plain envelope bearing no printing upon it. Write without fear and without fee. "1 hml ticen a prent sufferer from female weak ness for about two years," writes Mrs. Kinma Richardson, of Goss", Wayne Ct).. Ky. "Could not ?lo my work part of the time. I took four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription ami felt as well as r ever did. I have also used Doctor l'ierce's Golden Medical Dis covery for ulceration of the throat with good results and half of one bottle cured my throat when I could scarcely swallow." The permanent benefit to health from the timely use of Dr. Pierce's Pellets is testified to by thousands of women. They regulate the stomach, liver and bowels. Sold by all medicine dealers.
