Mother: Susanna GRAY |
"while Mr. Clay was Secretary of State, she lost two lovely
daughters, Eliza, who died en route to Washington, and Mrs.
Duralde, who died with yellow fever in New Orleans.
At the end of President Adams' administration she returned to
Ashland, never to leave it again. Another, and her last
daughter, Mrs. Erwin, died, and Theodore, her eldest son, was
hopelessly insane. From these sorrows she never recovered, and
spent her time in the seclusion of her family, receiving only
her most intimate friends."
"Lucretia Hart Clay - Kentucky. Was born in Hagerstown, MD.,
March 18, 1781. Was the youngest daughter of Colonel Thomas HART
(Benjamin HART's brother) and Susanna GRAY. She married Henry
CLAY, who had a political career and was U. S. Diplomat, U. S.
Congressman, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Secretary
of State, U. S. Senator and Presidential Candidate. Contributed
by Larry Jordan, "All About Hart" Web site."
http://www.airtanker.com/mcnally/hart/index.html
In Lucretia's great granddaughter's journal, it is noted, "Henry
Clay, a young lawyer, came to Lexington in 1797. Although
penniless and almost friendless in the midst of a distiguised
Bar, he was full of courage and of hope. Very soon he was a
constant and welcome visitor at the hospitable home of Colonel
Hart where two charming unmarried daughters and the first piano
brought to Lexington, made an attractive social center; and when
young people gathered at her home, Lucretia played for them to
dance. Two time-stained piedes of music, The Lexington Grand
Waltz and The Ashland Quadrilles, dedicated to Mrs. Henry Clay
by Professor Wilhelm Iucho, are tributes to her musical
ability." (Simpson, Letter to)
"Clay surely did not choose Lucretia because of her 'good face,
form, or personal appearance' since she, like her husband,
lacked physical beauty. Far more important were her amiable
disposition and family connections, for the marriage placed Clay
among the best and most influential economic and political
circles in Kentucky. He now had impeccable connections that
allied him to some of the most eminent families in the state. He
married as well as his highest expectations could have demanded.
Dark-eyed and dark-haired, lively and plain-looking indeed, 'a
very plain and unadmired woman' by eastern standards - she
nonetheless captured Clay's fancy. In describing her, all
observers, even the most sophisticated and cynical in
Washington, said she was 'kind,' 'good,' and 'above all
discreet.' During the many years she lived in the capital it was
reported that she never made a single enemy." (Remini)
"After a brief courtship Lucretia agreed to marry young Henry
Clay. She was eighteen at the time of her marriage, and the
wedding took place in her home on Mill Street in Lexington. It
proved to be a successful marriage, and Lucretia made a dutiful
and loving wife. A spirited woman, she nonetheless tolerated her
husband's swearing and his periodic gambling and drinking bouts.
In fact, she was once asked if she minded her husband's habitual
gambling. 'Doesn't it distress you,' sniffed a Boston matron,
'to have Mr. Clay gamble?' Lucretia looked surprised at the
question. 'Oh! dear, no!' she replied very innocently, 'he most
always wins.'"(Remini)
"Lucretia also proved to be a most competent manager and
businesswoman, selling milk, butter, and cured hams to earn
additional money when necessary. Because of her husband's
frequent absences from home, she necessarily took over the
management of their property. She made a practical study of
agriculture when they later moved to a plantation. She
supervised the overseer and became something of an 'oracle'
among farmers in the vicinity where they lived. It was reported
that every time Clay left home he gave her a large check with
which to manage their home. Upon his return she invariable
returned the check to him with the remark that she had found no
use for it. Lucretia loved her home and all the domestic chores
associated with running it. She hated the social whirl in
Washington that so attracted her husband later on."(Remini)
Lucretia Hart Clay: Lucretia was an adoring mother of the eleven
children she bore her husband. "Henrietta, the oldest child died
when she was still a little girl. Theodore, the oldest son, was
injured when he was a boy and had to live in an asylum. Thomas
Hart married Marie Mentelle and was a farmer. They lived at a
beautiful place called 'Mansfield' on part of Ashland farm.
Susan Hart, Mrs. Martin Duralde, died as a young married woman
of twenty-one. Ann Brown married James Erwin and died when her
child was born. They lived at the 'Woodlands' (then a part of
Ashland farm, now a part of Woodland Park).
Lucretia Hart died at fourteen, and Eliza died at the age of
twelve while on the way to Washington with her family. Another
daughter, Laura, died at the age of three months. Henry Clay,
Jr., married Julia Prather after graduating at West Point. Their
home was called 'Maplewood'. Henry Clay, Jr., was killed at the
battle of Buena Vista during the war with Mexico. At the time of
his death, he was leading a charge of his troops. James Brown
Clay married Susan Jacob of Louisville and became a lawyer and
congressman. They lived at 'Clay Villa', now in Bell Court.
After fighting in the Confederate Army, he died in Canada. John
Morrison Clay married Mrs. Josephine Russell Erwin, the widow of
Henry Clay's grandson.
It was very sad for Henry and Lucretia to lose all their
daughters when they were young. In fact, of the eleven children,
only four sons lived longer than their father. But while they
lived, they had gay times in Ashland. It was a great event when
their father came home from Washington, often bringing important
guests with him. Among those were James Monroe, Aaron Burr,
Martin Van Buren, Daniel Webster, Lafayette and Lord Morpeth.
When the members of the family were separated, they kept up a
lively correspondence." (Simpson, The Cat)"
