Excerpt from Reports of Cases Argued and Determined in the Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana, Vol. 10The most natural introduction to what I have to say on the life and character of Judge Mathews, will be to lay before you such particulars of his parentage, early life and private fortunes as on inquiry I have been able to procure.The subject of our discourse was born on the 2lst September, 1774, a few miles below Staunton, in Augusta County, State of Virginia.At the time of his birth, his father was absent on that memorable expedition which was terminated by the battle at the mouth of the Great Kenbawa, on the loth October, of the same year. He was called George, (the name of his father) by his mother, who doubted the return of her husband.From his birth until the age of ten years, all the education and instruction he received was from his mother, a lady distinguished for her excellent mind and other qualities-his father being absent the greatest portion of that time in the service of his country.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
