ONE OF OUR ( *J.I'J[ ,lf. J. '?"'I',,! L'.'J President -, Roosevelt <3reo3 Savannah Mc Pr?vient Theodore Boosove?t, Pres* ident of tho United fitstes of Ameri ca, hao good Georgie blood in his veins. That he is wei! aware of this, and is doubtless proud of "'it, is evi dent from ?hs feet that throaghhia ?Georgia ancestry President ?ooaevelt is * member of the Georgia Society of the SOOB of the Revolution. Jin fact, through his mother, Martha Ballooh, thc sew Pfe?iutm? ia amply supplied with Revolutionary ancestry. JNot only was bis great-grandfather, Archibald Bullooh, a' member of the i\?Mt Continental Congress, asd the ?rat President of, the Provincial Con gress of Georgia, tat the other .grand father on the mother's side, Gen. Daniel Stewart, wss a famous Revo lutionary hero of Georgia. In addi tion to this his grandfather, James jBuIlooh, was commissioned a captain in the Virginia State ga~v;aon troops .et fl4*years of age, and sewed as such until the oloso of the war. The Bullooh family occupied, a ?diotingiohisbed placo in the an nals of . Georgia and Saran nah. ?Coming to ?*v?snah with ibis parents when . a boy from their home in South Carolina ? ? 1750, Ar ohibald Bullooh studied here, was ad mitted to the Bar and rapidly rose ito .prominence, iHo was elected a mern bor .cf .ibo, General Assembly in VI$8 .and was appointed a member of the .committee to correspond with Benja min Franklin, the agent of the colony in London. In 1771 he was elee ted ."Speaker of the Assembly at an excit ing time,?Governorflaberaham having declined to recognize Dr. Noble Wy m 'berley Jones, who had been three .times chosen-Speaker of the Assembly. The minutes of the Assembly with reference to this matter were distaste ful to the (Governor, abd because the Assembly firmly but respectfully de clined to amend them -abe body was poiotnptorily dissolved. Mr. Bullooh continued to take an ac ti ve jp uii in, publie affairs, .actively .espousing the cause of the colonists against the home-Government, and on the assembling of the Provincial Con gress of Georgia, July 4,17Z5, .he was unanimously chosen President of that body. With Johp^fiouston, Koble WV Jones, D. Lyman Hall and the Rev. Dr. .ZubJy he waB elected a delegate to the Continental Congress afc Piula do lp h in. . Among ?he relics ?f the Georgia Historical Society is a oarofally pre served document, the* original of a resolution adopted by >vhe Contioeotal Congress, JNjbvemb?r 9,17?5, imposing secrecy upon all the members of the Congress aa to it8 ?eta and discussions To thia is appended. the name, of Archibald Bullooh, with probably 109 others, including the members from Georgia. In January, 1776, Mr. Bul lew h was again elected President of the Provin cial Congress, with the added tide of . commander-in-chief,Re was also . named as one of tbe delegates to the Continental Congress, but bia duties . aa h?sd ef the heme go?6r??jcai pre vented his ?iteBdaace ai Philadelphia . and hence his name ia not attached to .the historic domines! ido^?sd st Phirade?phia Jaiy 4, 1776. Such was tthe jwse tried condition ?y the times (and-so precarious ware the affairs of Abe colony that the whole executive powers of government were entrusted to Pr?sident ?Pulloc.h by a resolution of abe Provincial Congress, with a couoeil of five parsons cf his own se lection. , In February, 1777,^President or Governor pollock . died suddenly at. bis homer' io Savannah. Hia death was a great blow to tho struggling .Commonwealth and may account for part of the tai?fortuoes whioh be fell Georgia during the remainder of the war. * The largest portrait of tba several tn tho possession of tho.Georgia His torical Society ia that of Governor Bullooh and his family.

There were three children by each marriage, Hartha Bullock, who married Theo dore Roosevelt,, the elder, in New York, in 1853, was a daughter by the second marriage, .and .gavo >bitth -to .the soo who yesterday became Presi dent. If President Roosevelt has splendid Revolutionary anoestry he also had -some good -Confederate relatives. His .mother's half-brother, Capt. James B. Buiiooh, sta? the .agent of the Confed erate Government in london and won (fame for himself by the able mannerie which he rendered aid to his govern ment. It was largely through his efforts that the Alabama and other cruisers which did auch damage ?to ^Northern commerce were fitted ont. A full brother of Mrs. Roosevelt, Irvine 8. Buiiooh, was -Bailing master aboard the Alabama, ^participated as such in the disastrous encounter with . the Kearsarge, and was later commis oioneu a lieutenant in the Confederate .hayy.jDonbtlese President ?Roosevelt had .ninny other ?relatives in. the Con federate service, as the Buiiooh family connection throughout the South was .very large. Martha Buiiooh became acquain ted with the elder Roosevelt on one of her?frequent visits .10. NewV&ork, and falling in love with the thrifty Dutoh tAmerican-for such die was-rshe sub sequently became his wife. Shortly after the formation of this happy union the younger Roosevelt, who was ?destined in later years to become one .ofitha foremost figures in public life, was ushered into existence. Chere are hundreds of people in Georgia who .remember the President's mother well, and -who cherish many pleasant recol l?e tiona of iher.
