Biography from Encarta Encyclopedia: Clay, Henry (1777-1852), American statesman, who was secretary of state under John Quincy Adams and an unsuccessful candidate for the presidency in 1824, 1832, and 1844. He was one of the most popular and influential political leaders in American history. His genius in the art of compromise three times resolved bitter political conflicts that threatened to tear the nation apart, winning him the title The Great Pacificator. Clay was born on April 12, 1777, in Hanover County, Virginia, to a middle-class family. After studying for the bar with the eminent George Wythe, Clay, at the age of 20, moved to Lexington, Kentucky, where he developed a thriving practice. He was blessed with a quick mind, a flair for oratory, and an ability to charm both sexes with his easy, attractive manner. That he loved to drink and gamble was no drawback in an age that admired both vices. Clay, ambitious for worldly success, married into a wealthy and socially prominent family and soon gained entry into Kentucky's most influential circles. While still in his 20s, he was elected to the state legislature, in which he served for six years, until 1809. Congressman Clay established his great reputation in the United States House of Representatives, where he served intermittently from 1811 to 1825. In his first term, he became one of the leading "War Hawks"-the young men whose clamor for hostilities with England helped bring about the War of 1812. Clay was selected as one of the commissioners who in 1814 negotiated the Treaty of Ghent, ending that war. In 1820-21 it was Clay above all who engineered the Missouri Compromise, quieting the harsh controversy that had erupted by maintaining an equal balance between free and slave states. Although he himself was a slave owner, Clay's views on slavery-as on most other issues-were moderate. He was thus able to command the support of men fearful of extremism. In the presidential election of 1824, after his own candidacy had failed, Clay threw his support to John Quincy Adams, whom the House early in 1825 elected as the sixth president. When Adams named Clay secretary of state, his Jacksonian opponents charged "corrupt bargain!" The charge was unfair, but Clay was haunted by it throughout his subsequent career. Although Clay was a practical politician of flexible rather than rigid beliefs, he did emerge as the great champion of the "American System." He called for a protective tariff in support of home manufactures, internal improvements (federal aid to local road and canal projects), a strong national bank, and distribution of the proceeds of federal land sales to the states. Whig Leader Elected to the U.S. Senate in 1831, Clay served in that body until 1842 and again from 1849 until his death. In 1833 he devised a compromise tariff that resolved the crisis brought on by South Carolina's attempt to "nullify" the prevailing tariff set by Congress. In the same period he became a leader of the new Whig Party that emerged to oppose Andrew Jackson's administration. Perhaps the most heartbreaking event of Clay's career was his close defeat in the presidential contest of 1844, when his reluctance to back the annexation of Texas cost him support in the South. Many believe that his greatest service to the nation came in 1850, when he helped win acceptance for a compromise that ended, at least temporarily, the threat of civil war over the issue of slavery in the new territories. He died in Washington, D.C., on June 29, 1852. Contributed By: Edward Pessen "Clay, Henry," Microsoft(R) Encarta(R) 98 Encyclopedia. (c) 1993-1997 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Her obituary from the Lexington Intelligencer: DIED, very suddenly, on Thursday evening last, at The Woodlands, the seat of James Erwin, Esq., his amiable consort, Mrs. ANN B. ERWIN, the last surviving daughter of the Hon. Henry Clay, in the 29th year of her age. Her death, which was almost instantaneous, is supposed to have been caused by the rupture of a blood vessel. The funeral service was performed by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Smith, on Saturday morning; and her remains were conveyed to the vault, attended by a numerous train of citizens, which attested her worth, as well as the general sympathy and regret experienced on the occasion. She has left her honored parents and five children, with a heart-bleeding husband, and numerous other friends, to lament her untimely death. It is with our friends, as with our health, and a thousand other blessings - we rarely appreciate them as we ought, till we are taught their value, by a painful deprivation. Hence, when we are near relations and intimate connections are taken away, we are often led to exaggerate their virtues by posthumous praise. Hence the fulsome eulogy, which sometimes crowds the obituary column, or exhibits the vanity of the survivor, instead of the character of the deceased, on the marble monument. But this must not prevent departed merit from receiving the tributary notice, which is justly due. In the death of Mrs. Erwin, society has sustained no ordinary loss. With a mind highly cultivated and improved, with a taste which left nothing it touched unadorned, with a temper always cheerful, amiable and kind, with a deportment dignified and decided, yet simple, artless and condescending, in the unlimited enjoyment of all that wealth and affluence could bestow, she was yet not unmindful of that better part which could never be taken from her. Several years since, she became hopefully pious, and a communicant in the Protestant Episcopal Church, of which had since lived an exemplary member. In short, possessed of everything which could render life desirable to herself or her friends, she has been suddenly torn away, by a Wisdom which we dare not presume to scan, and is gone to reap the rich rewards which await "the good and faithful servant," in another and a brighter world. "The Woodlands" are still there. The stately mansion - the hospitable board - the spacious gardens, the tasteful walks, the extensive pleasure grounds - the trees, the shrubs and the flowers - but where is the spirit that animated the whole? Gone, alas, forever! - and the once brilliant scene is now shrouded, not only in the gloom of winter, but in the habiliments of woe. Spring will, indeed, soon return - "the Woodlands" will again be decked in green - the flowers will again bloom, in all their wonted fragrance and beauty - and the gay tenants of the grove will again be warbling "their native woodnotes wild" - but where will be the Taste that contrived, the Hand that planted, and the Eye that enjoyed and gladdened this wilderness of sweets! - Where the lovely Form, that gave life, and interest and beauty, and song, and sentiment, to the whole? The heart-broken husband may be there, but he will be alone. The darling little ones, the prattling infants, may be there; but no maternal bosom on which to rest - to soothe their sorrows, or to participate in their joys. The fond and doting parents may call, but no daughter to embrace and welcome and them in. But we forbear. While our society deplores the painful event, by which it has been thus suddenly deprived of one of its brightest ornaments, we cannot but mingle our tears, with those of the bereaved relations, to whom the loss is irreparable. No event of this kind, in this city, could be more deeply felt, or more powerfully impress us with the serious truth that, In the midst of life we are in death; or, with the solemn admonition, "Be ye also ready!"
