General Meade’s Family Ties and Troy Riot Incident
The text notes General Meade’s mother Margaret Butler from Chester County Pennsylvania near Philadelphia and his father a naval officer who helped acquire Florida from Spain. It recalls Morrissey the prizefighter aiding rioters in Troy during a disturbance, claiming the mob could not seize the black writers as Morrissey claimed the writers had already left.
