🎉🎊Happy birthday to the Chancellor! 🎉🎊

Happy birthday to the Chancellor! 235 years ago on this day, the Original owner of our house was born!! After doing tons of research about him, it truly feels like I know him. From all that I have read about him, he seemed to be a good person and really valued fairness and justice. He was an abolitionist who publicly denounced slavery and an advocate for alcoholism as a mental disorder. Throughout his law career he worked his way up the ranks to becoming a judge of the Supreme Court and also formally known as “The Chancellor”. He is a truly fascinating person.

Coincidentally the chancellor little brother was be born ten years later on the exact same day in 1797. His name was Sidney. The Chancellor was a ten year old boy when Sidney was born. My admins and I have done tons of research about him but we were not able to find any information about Sidney(no painting of him either). The only information we found about him was that he passed away on September 25, 1813 at the age of 17. This must have been devastating for the family. Although We don’t know much about Sidney, I believe the chancellor and Sidney were very close despite the ten year age gap. The reason I believe they were close is because later on in the chancellor life, when he turned 28 years old he had his first son and named him Sidney! Was this his way of remembering his little brother? I think so. Anyway, Happy birthday the original owner of our house and to his brother!
