Descriptive Summary

Howard Papers, 1662-1919(Part 1/4)

MS.469

Maryland Historical Society

Baltimore MD 21201-4674

*Note*: Collection listed in four parts

 

Scope and Content

Though diverse, these manuscripts form four groups, three of which are singularly self-contained: the John Eager Howard papers, those of Benjamin Chew Howard, a sole letter to Charles Howard, and sundry items more or less tangential to Col. Howard and his son Benjamin. And it is perhaps its very diffusion that makes this collection an early port-of-call for the researcher.

The temper of most of the letters to Howard the Patriot is greatly judicial and mercantile, though the biographical value of some of the others is no doubt more explicit in delineating his character. A letter from President Washington, for example, reveals Howard in the less-than-revolutionary act of political patronage, but also implies his ethics of reward and sense of family when Washington sees fit to note for him the financial plight and lineage of Capt. John Kilty to whom he is offering a sinecure on Howard's advice. More obvious is Howard's very stature as recipient of the letter, a stature manifest again in Col. Paul Bentalou's questioning of him for details of the 1777 campaign in which he served with inspired valor. More than merely heroic, his stature is again highlighted as a man of ecclesiastical and civic influence when Rev. Joseph Bend appeals for exoneration of his own alleged disrespect for the Vestry at St. Paul's and when John Davidge et al. appeal to him to fix a later date of payment for the land that he sold to the Maryland College of Medicine. Howard's own letters to Professor Benjamin Silliman of Yale in regard to finding an able principal for their school and to the Commissioners of Baltimore on their inaccuracy in fixing the corner of Charles and Camden Streets illustrate a union of idealism and precision, two virtues rarely found together.

From the second group of papers, the Benjamin Chew Howard that emerges is a man wholly grounded in practical - and topical - affairs, whether political, legal, or commercial. His notes of the Congressional debate raging about the Ohio-Michigan boundary dispute reveal an exacting-to-tedious man. Papers on his conducting a suit for his uncle against Arthur Tilghman Jones again suggest a penchant for complete compilation of evidence and minute attention to detail. Land papers, surveyors' estimates and calculations, city-planning manuscripts and the like are all freighted with the writer's knowledge of Benjamin's exactitude and power of memory. Even Jacob Small, apparently a petty court official recently chastized by an out-of-temper Col. Bentalou for the courtroom's chaotic appearance, writes Howard to ask just how the room was arranged during the last session.

One manuscript only forms the corpus of the third group. This is a letter from George Elder to Charles Howard, son of the Patriot, requesting a deed in order to transfer title of some Illinois land sold by the estate of Cornelius Howard. Its inclusion is indeed conjectural.

The last group of papers are panoramic in scope and disparate in content. Not even a rank and senseless rage for order could discern any unity among them. Yet single items are provocatively salient. There is a blank Cincinnati certificate signed by Washington, a land assignation

signed by Governor Randolph of Virginia, an 1815 list of the grades of sundry Baltimore streets, notes of the 1801 U.S. Senate proceedings on the Convention with France, and fragments of a constellation of testimony that revolved about the alleged theft and sale of Continental horses by a Maryland veteran of the Revolution, Edward Hamilton.

Biographical Note

Roger Brooke Taney was born March 17, 1777, into a well-established Federalist Tidewater Maryland family in Calvert County. He graduated from Dickinson College in 1795, studied law in Annapolis under Judge Jeremiah T. Chase of the Maryland General Court, and passed the bar in 1799. In 1801 Taney moved to Frederick to practice law. In 1806 he married Anne Phebe Charlton Key of Frederick, sister of Francis Scott Key. During his Frederick years, until 1823, when he moved to Baltimore, Taney took part in most of the important litigation in Frederick County and became recognized as the leading lawyer of Western Maryland.

In the decisive election of 1824, Taney left the dying Federalist party and supported Jackson, who was elected in 1828. Taney rose to national prominence due to his participation in Jackson's bank war of the 1830's. He was appointed Attorney General in 1831 and, when Secretary of the Treasury William T. Duane refused to remove government deposits from the Bank, Jackson replaced him with Taney.

In 1836, Taney succeeded Marshall as Chief Justice to preside over the Supreme Court for twenty-eight years, during the most trying times of the young country's history. The dignity and the warmth that he displayed in his personal relations toward family and friends extended to his professional relationships and led to a greater unity on the Court than might otherwise have been the case. Vital cases concerning slavery, states' rights, the rights of individuals during wartime came before the Court. He was a Constitutionalist in a much stricter sense than Marshall.

He is most often remembered for his opinion in the Dred Scott Case (1857), that Congress lacked the power to prohibit slavery in the territories. This opinion is often held to have helped precipitate the Civil War by foreclosing one avenue of compromise. Although his opinions frequently forced him into opposition with the government at war, he never relinquished his principles and has had a lasting influence on the development and the content of our constitutional law.
