The
Electioneering contest is very warm in some of the counties in the state of
Maryland; and the public meetings for discussing the merits of the candidates,
and the political questions on which the election hinges, are frequent, and
numerous Lee attended. Sometimes, as will happen when people are excited by the
occasion, and a little heated by what they have drank [sic], quarrels ensue.
One of these took place at a muster of Col. Crauford's regiment in Prince
George's county {sic], last Thursday; when a person of the name of Richardson
was killed by a kick or a blow from another man.[1]

David Crauford, III Kingston in Upper Marlboro,
Maryland
Kingston, or Sasscer's House,
is a 1 1⁄2-story historic home located in Upper Marlboro, Prince George's
County, Marylands. It is believed to be the oldest building remaining in the
town of Upper Marlboro and may have been built, at least in part, before 1730.
Many alterations and additions made to it in the Victorian era, including
"gingerbread" details typical of this era. The Craufurd family
cemetery is located in the woods northwest of the house. Kingston was listed on
the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
