I Tin- following article was written by Daniel G. Stinson, Ksq., an?l pub lished in thc old Chester Palmetto i (S. C.) Standard more tuan fifty years j ago. The heroine of the ??tory has a j large number of relative- in this County, and the remains of her father, Kev. .John Simpson, who is mentioned in the article, sleep in tho lloberts Churchyard. - Kum ut INTELLU?KN- | (.'KU. This lady is the daughter of the Kev. .John .Simpson, who was much distinguished for the zeal with which he espoused the cause of liberty tu thc earliest period of our struggle. Her mother's family name was Berner. They came from the State of Delaware, and settled OD Fishing Creek, tu Ches ter District. Ile was tho first regular pastor of Fishing Creek Church. Mr. .Simpson had been preceded in the work of planting the Cospel in this then thinly settled and destitute scope of country, by the Kev. Wil liam Richardson, (the maternal uncle of the late fien. W. K. Davie.) who came out as a missionary, and settled in tho Waxhaws. In thc true spirit of his mission, he preached daily in thc different settlements; extending his visits to the distance of often sixty and seventy miles from his home. On these tours he would often bc absent from his home 4'or mouths at a lime. 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 thc 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 thc inhabitants thought it no hardship to ride a distance of 15 or 20 miles to hear tho 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 Kev. John Simpson was re garded as the head and adviser of the band of heroes, who had so signally defeated the enemy at Beckhamville and Mobley's; and in the presence of those heroes, did the enemy determino that he should bc 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 aud?he other disturbers of the King's peace. (On Sabbath morning, 11th June, 17S0, 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 ?ff in ranks, under the command of Capt. McClure, a youth who, from his in fancy, had b;en reared under his min istry. The bravo mcu of York and Chester were distinguished in every batttle-ficld. 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 disciplino of the camp, and b ia council, no lesa 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 rasoal out," hastened and informed Mrs. Simpson, advising her, if she did not hasten away, that she would bc burned in the house. She looked out and saw the army com ing 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 thc rear of the orchard. She was so situated as to bo 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 thom 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, tfc?y 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 callie ?ear losing her iii"'.'. Thc feather-in thc- yard tool; lire, - he succeeded in saving enough for one ! Lcd. >'!.<. had then to u-j to the house : j of Mr. -. where she remained until : j after her confinement, which tuok i place ou that day four weeks. When i she recovered, she went hack to her I own place, and tool- up her residence j in a small out house which had escaped ! the tire of the enemy. Here with her j live children, and a young Miss Neely, she contrived to live; assisted much by the devoted people of her hus I band's charge. Having procured some cloth out of which to mike clothing for her children,-for the enemy hail not left them a single change,-she had cut it out, and was proceeding to make it up, when a company of tories came along and plundered her also of these. Upon her complaining, how ever, to the leader of the party, they were ordered to deliver them up to her. Some of this gang were dressed in Mr. Simpson's clothes. They would exultingly strut before her and ask her if they were not better looking men than her husband, at the same lime telling her that they would some day make her a present of her hus band's scalp! This gang of tories took off the stock of cattle. She plead with them to leave her but one milk cow for her little children; but her request was refused. After going about two miles further on their way they put the cat tle in a pen for thc night; but two large steers of ?the Hock broke out during.the night, and opening the way for the rest, the entire Hock returned home. During the time that Tarleton lay at White's Mill, three dragoons came to Mrs. Simpson's. They were all drunk; and one of them falling asleep in his chair, the others went off and left him. Miss Neely suggested the propriety of killing him, saying, ''these fellows have killed our friends; if our men were here would they not dispatch him? What they would do ought uot we to do to assist them?" To this Mrs. Simpson replied, "It would be extremely wrong. Our men would only take him prisoner, and ex change him for some one of our friends who arc prisoners at Camden." They then thought to bind him fast, and bear him to Charlotte, North Carolina, a distance of about forty-five miles; but reflecting that they could not con veniently go with him, the project was finally abandoned. Of the children of Mrs. Simpson, our heroine, Jane Boyd, was the eldest; and at that time was some 8 or 10 years of age. She is yet living, and remembers distinctly of seeing the red coats, and witnessing the scenes of distress and suffering, through which her mother passed! The facts of the foregoing history are gathered from her; many of which came within her own observation. Her father continued with the army until the country was rescued from the power of the enemy, and tho tories subdued; and she thinks that he was engaged in most of the battles. After the war Mr. Simpson contin ued in charge of Fishing Creek and Bethesda churches, occasionally sup plying Catholic, and some other small er congregations. A few of his hear ers in the surrounding congregations had joined the enemy; and, although he could from his heart pity and for give them, yet he could never place confidence in them. This they saw and felt, and when churches of other denominations sprung around them, they gladly withdrew from him and joined elsewhere. Between the years 1700 and 1800, Mr. Simpson moved to the District of Pendleton, where he ended his days. He was a clergyman of eminent piety, of brilliant talents and worth. As was the case with most clergymen, he possessed'but little worldly estate; yet being an educated man himself, he gave his sons and daughters a good education. Some of these sons be came ornaments to the learned profes sions; and all of them formed alliances by marriage with our best and most respectable families. Dr. James Simpson married a daughter of Col. Jno. Bratton, another of his sons mar ried a daughter of Col. Pickens; a third married a daughter of Col. Mof fat; two others married into the 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 Ker father, John Simp son Neely. James Neely died in early life. She afterwards married John Boyd, by whom she had two daugh ters. He has been dead over twenty five years. Her son John S. Neely died some ten years ago, leaving a widow and several children. Qf her daughters one is married to James Drennan, Bbq., and the other to a Mr. Reid. Mrs. Boyd, as already stated, is yet living, being about 80 years of age. She resides with her children, having her grandchildren around her. In person she is slender; of a sprightly disposition; her countenance indica tive of much energy of eharaoter. She possesses a heart full of the kindliest feelings towards her fellow creatures ; always ready to render an act of kind ness, and to give lier assistance tu the neighboring families in sickness. She i.- called by every one "Aunt Jenny Boyd." In early life she was in structed in thc principles of the 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 ie flections which course through her mind as, on each returning Sabbath, she takes her place in the house of worship! Herc 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 asaended with hers to the throne of the Moat 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 thc friends of her early youth! Where are now those much loved friends? As she treada 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 iu 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 infaut 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 baa 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 iug 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 thc 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 waa struck, on receipt of the letter, with its remarkably correct orthogra phy and neatness of penmanship. The hand writing is fine, and such ar 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 aubstantial edu 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 trutha of Chriatianrty; with industry doing her office of kindnesa to those around her; reapected by every one, | and by every one regarded as a friend, she presents a picture challenging our admiration. With the meekness of an umble Chriatian she awaits her ap^ pointed time; trusting her all, both here and hereafter, to him \ffho has promiaed to pass with her "through the valley and 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. Usu/dly it is a monotonous tontine of work, often aggravated by the in 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. Tierce'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, N. Y., 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 coo fide nee, and an answer promptly returned in a plain envelope bearing no printing upon it. . Write without fear and without fee. - " X had been a great sufferer from female weak ness for about two years," write* Mrs. Emma Richardson, of Goss, Wayne Co., ?Cv. "Could not do my work part of the time. X took four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and felt as well as I ever did. I have also used Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery for ulceration of the throat with good results and half of one bottle cured m j' throat when I could scarcely Kvrallow.'' The permanent benefit to health from the timely use of Dr. Pierce's Pellets is testified to by thous.-'.ids of women. They regulate the stomach, liver and bowels. Sold by all medicine dealers.
