The Daily Dispatch: January 24, 1862., [Electronic resource], From Norfolk. (search)
known here and who long since passed away from the busy and exciting scenes of life, has recently taken place. I allude to the widow of the late Judge Robert B. Taylor, of this city, and Mrs. Jane A. Hope, the eldest daughter of the late Commodore James Barron. Gen. Taylor is known to have been distinguished for his ability and surpassing eloquence as a jurist, as well as for his gallantry and soldierly bearing, when in command of the Virginia troops at Norfolk in the war of 1812. TheThe name of Commodore Barron has long since passed into history, and forms some of the most romantic and thrilling chapters among the chronicles of past events. Miss Poole, a true-hearted and intelligent Virginia lady, who was for some time a prisoner at Washington, arrived here yesterday by flag of truce, and is sojourning at the Atlantic Hotel. She thinks, from observation and information gained at the Federal capital, that McClellan is preparing for another "on to Richmond" movement.
