- He was a U.S. congressman fro Maryland.
A family story: during the war, apparently, when he was a congressman in D.C., he was approached by two men who said they were Confederates who asked him for a sandwich. He gave one to them. They were, however, spies, and he was arrested and jailed for the war. He was re-elected after the war.
