Text Appearing Before Image:
(p.197) Didier's History, page 167, states that "Madam Bonaparte sailed from Europe (France) July 15, 1824 and arrived in New York harbor at the end of August. She was met by her son and she accompanied him to Lancaster, Massachusetts. She returned in November and her son accompanied her (from Lancaster, near Fitchburg) to Hartford, where she took the steamer for New York on her way to Baltimore." The route was undoubtedly through Springfield, as this was the regular highway.

Miss Elizabeth Patterson, after her marriage in 1803, called herself Mrs. Jerome Bonaparte until she obtained a divorce from the Legislature of Maryland in 1814 with permission to resume her maiden name. From that time onward she always signed herself "Elizabeth Patterson", but was very generally known and rather frequently addressed as "Madame Bonaparte".

(p.198) Note.— Probably the best account published of the Bonaparte-Patterson episode is to be found in the book entitled, "The Bonaparte-Patterson Marriage, 1803 and the Secret Correspondence on the Subject," by W. T. R. Saffell. 12 mo. 254 pages. Portrait. Published in 1873.

Note.—Our Bath, England, agents report that they examined all the records of the Public Record Office, London, for vessels sailing from England to Salem for the years 1630-1634 and that every available document must have been "unearthed," but no trace of the vessel in which Jacob Barney (Salem 1634) sailed could be found.
