The actual work was t done by a gifted daughter of the Cun- 1 ingham family of Rosemont, :Miss Ann I Pamicla Cuningham, but to her mo- E ther, Mrs. Louisa Cuningham, belongs c the distinguished honor of having sug- t gested and made the first effort to- 1 wards the organization of the Mount S Vernon association. This lady was . the daughter of Col. William Bird of tL Birdsborough, Pa. He moved to Geor- 1 gia in 1796. 'Mrs. Cuningham was six t years old when her father moved to 1 Georgia, she having been -born in 0 Allexandria, Va., in 1790, at the home a of her grandfather, Col. Dalton. It a was her mother's eldest sister, who I died young, who had the honor of win- , ling the heart and refusing the hand a of the great Washington, when lie -was I surveying lands for Lord Fairfax and 'l only 17 years old. c Mrs. Louisa Cuningham, one of the r daughters of 'Col. Bird, was the wife r of Capt. Robert Cuningham, distin- 1 guished for his wealth, culture and s noble hospitality. lie lived at Rose- t mont in baronial style, surrounded by r all the luxuries which fortune can t give. His great home was the frequent resort of his friends and acquaint- 11 ances, embracing the most noted pub- I lic men of the day, and the hospitable P .wclcome they received insured for the I house a large number of visitors at I all seasons. Caipt. Cuninghan was a gentleman of great public spirit and i charity, as well as hospitality and , friendship. )uring the War of 1812 1 he ralsed a volunteer company and I entered the service of his cointry. t Vhen, as will ;be taken uip later, one t considcrs the fact that the Cunign- - hams were loyal to the crown during I the Revolution, this fact, raising al company to fight the 'liritish in 1812, 1 shows that the family had with becom- .1 .ng grace btecome entirely loyal to the I new order of things. And how re- I markable it is, too, that it should have t .cen from a descendant of this fain fly that the ;first suggestion of p-e- I serving the home of the "father of lls country came. ti is another strongt link in the chain of the family's loyal- I ty.

In support of his view is the state lent made to the same effect 'by Gen. IcCrady. When Patrick Cunilngham decided o build his home, it 'was his inteition o build a pretentious frame house, , nd in order to get the lumber saiwed to had his blacks cut the timber out of is forests and raft the logs down the ,aluda to Charleston, where they mld -be sawed. Arriving there with le trees, so the family tradition goes, ic found it impossible to get them awed. There were several English hips in the harbor looking about for allast and he offered his logs as bal ast, to .be carried to 10ngland and here sawed and fashioned for the touse he .wanted to build. Tradition iso says that his offer -was accepted -nd the timbers used in the house were etually sawed and fashioned in 1Nng fnd. The nails, every one of them, eere made -by hand in a blacksmith 1op on the spot, as were also the inges used on the doors and blinds.?t "ho brick used in the house, it Is laimed, were made by 10nglish work ien on the grounds. The blinds were made in -1England, and although they re today 177 years old they are in a liendid state of preservation and hold. heir shape 'better than some made owadays which are some 1.15 years heir junior. The frame 'work of the house is as lumb -today as can be, the chimneys re as solid and erect as one could vish. Time, with its iron tooth, has ilade many marks oil the old house, uit it is in a wonderful state of pres rvation. it is two stories high, with ride collars underneath, and a large I ttic. The famous old wing cellar is ised today by '.\iaj. Robert N. Cunling kam, the owner and sole occupant of lie place, to store lime in. The iint Lges of '76 or '81 no longer have their biding place there, After the levo ution South 'Carolina confiscated Zosemont and the land belonging to t, but alterwards an act was Iassed )y the legislatu re restoring to the amily their ancestral acres. As stated above, Rosemnont reached. lie zenith of its fame under its later nistress, Mrs. Louisa Cupingliani, thel nother of Miss Pamela Cuningham, Ind of the father of Maj. Robert N. uningham, who now lives there. Of 61rs. Louisa Cuningham, Gov. 1. F.,' lerry wrote: ".She .was not only beau iful herself, but she had a love and aste for the beautiful.
