BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY
Bayard, James Ash(e)ton (July 28, 1767 - Aug. 6, 1815), statesman and diplomat, was a leader among the Federalists of the United States during the first quarter-century. Of old Huguenot stock, he was descended from Petrus Bayard, whose mother Anna, widow of Samuel Bayard and sister of Peter Stuyvesant, came with three children on The Princess to New Amsterdam, May 11, 1647. Petrus obtained land in New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, and his son Samuel in 1698 chose Bohemia Manor, Md., for his home. Here James, of the third generation, brought Mary Ashton, his wife, and here on Aug. 11, 1738, the first James Ashton Bayard was born. He was a surgeon in Philadelphia until his death in Charleston, S. C., Jan. 8, 1770. In 1760 he married Agnes Hodge, who on July 28, 1767, gave him a second son, James Ashton (as the name was originally spelled, although custom has fixed the modern spelling as Asheton).

At the death of his father, James Ashton Bayard was placed under the guardianship of his father's twin brother, John Bayard [q.v.] of Philadelphia, which continued until James's graduation from Princeton College, Sept. 29, 1784. During these fourteen years, and especially after the death of his mother in 1774, his immediate surroundings did much to determine the young man's future. His education was essentially conservative, whether at Piqua in Lancaster County from his uncle, at Princeton, or in the circle of Pennsylvania society in which he moved. Upon the completion of his college work he studied law with Joseph Reed and after 1785 with Jared Ingersoll, each of whom strengthened the conservative tone of his earlier training. When, therefore, he was admitted to the New Castle bar in August 1787, and at Philadelphia in September, and began the practise of his profession at Wilmington the same year, he was welcomed as a useful member of the Federalist party. And when on Feb. 11, 1795, he married Ann, daughter of Chief Justice Richard Bassett [q.v.] of Delaware, he acquired an important political and social position among the Federalist leaders.

The election of 1796 demonstrated Bayard's vote-getting ability in Delaware, sending him to the House of Representatives, which he entered May 15, 1797. An excellent opportunity to demonstrate his strength came soon after he had taken his seat. On July 3, 1797, Adams sent Congress a message and papers disclosing a plan of certain United States citizens to aid Britain in seizing Spanish territory in Louisiana. Earlier fears of a British attack in this section had been brought to the notice of Timothy Pickering, secretary of state since Dec. 10, 1795, by the Spanish, but such intentions had been denied by the British minister. Now a letter of William Blount [q.v.], senator from Tennessee, to James Carey, interpreter to the Cherokee Indians, dated Apr. 21, 1797, had come to light, involving the British minister and Blount himself in the plan. The manuscripts were laid before Congress and Blount's guilt seemed plain. No one claimed his innocence, but Gallatin and other Republicans declared that as a senator he was exempt from impeachment. The real criminal, continued Gallatin, was Robert Liston, the British minister, or President Adams, who had had "improper understandings" with him. In this crisis Bayard managed the case against Blount so ably that the latter was expelled from the Senate in July 1797.

Bayard played a decisive part in the disputed presidential election of 1800 when the decision between Jefferson and Burr, both Republicans, was thrown into the House of Representatives. The Federalists, on the principle that anyone was preferable to Jefferson, supported Burr for thirty-five inconclusive ballots. Then their leaders decided to shift to Jefferson if they could obtain from him certain assurances as to the future. Bayard's position as the most important Federalist in a border state, as well as his work for Federalist financial measures, 1798-1800, made him the most fitting negotiator for that impartial treatment desired by business interests as well as by officeholders in the National Government, His first approach was through John Nicholas, representative from Virginia and a particular friend of Jefferson. To him Bayard stated that "if certain points of the future administration could be understood and arranged with Mr. Jefferson ... three states would withdraw from any opposition to his election." They sought only assurance of support for the public credit, the maintenance of the naval system, and security for minor officeholders in their government positions. "I explained," continued Bayard, "that I considered it not only reasonable but necessary, that offices of high discretion and confidence should be filled by men of Mr. Jefferson's choice." In the latter group he placed cabinet officers, and as examples of the former he mentioned collectors at ports of entry. He was assured by Nicholas that the points seemed reasonable, and that Jefferson with the men about him would undoubtedly be of the same opinion. Bayard replied that he "wanted an engagement," and if this were conceded by Jefferson, "the election should be ended." He was unable to obtain a direct promise from Nicholas, but in his deposition of Apr. 3, 1806 (Bayard Papers, pp. 128-29), he states that Gen. Samuel Smith took the same three points to the Virginian and was authorized by Jefferson "to say that they corresponded with his views and intentions and that we might confide in him accordingly." Although no Federalist voted for Jefferson, by absence or refusing to vote "the opposition of Vermont, Maryland, South Carolina and Delaware was immediately withdrawn and Mr. Jefferson was made President by the votes of ten states" on the thirty-sixth ballot (Bayard's letter of Feb. 17, 1801, pub. in Niles' Weekly Register, Nov. 16, 1822). Shortly afterward, Bayard wrote to President Adams declining the proffered ministry to France as he would have to hold it during Jefferson's term to make it worth while, and if he did so he would be accused of having made an agreement with him.

In the discussions of "the judiciary reform measure" of 1801 and its repeal, Bayard ably defended the Federalist position. The fact that his father-in-law, Richard Bassett, was one of the new judges involved, was unnecessarily invoked to explain his stand. The personal factor may have added vigor to his words, but Bayard's belief in the need for the law and in the increased importance it gave to Delaware (Bayard to Bassett, Jan. 25, 1800), as well as his conviction that the repeal was "a most flagrant violation of the Constitution" and "prostrated the independence of the judicial power," were in all probability quite genuine.

Bayard's work in the Senate began Jan. 15, 1805, and continued until May 3, 1813. Much of his time was occupied with legal business, for while he disagreed thoroughly with the administration which "distinguishes itself only by its weakness and hypocrisy," he was equally certain that "no Federal prescription" would ever be taken to end the "political malady" of the period (to Andrew Bayard, Apr. 2, 1805; Jan. 30, 1806; Bayard Papers, pp. 164-65). Sane and moderate in his views, Bayard strove to uphold the dignity of his country against Britain or France as readily as he opposed the fitting out of the Miranda Expedition against Spain in 1806. A stanch believer in the superior abilities of an educated leadership, he was willing to subordinate himself if he could thereby be useful. An excellent illustration of Bayard's position was his national service under a hostile administration before and during the War of 1812. In 1808 he was willing to give Gallatin the credit of securing the renewal of the charter of the United States Bank expiring in 1811, or to join in obtaining a charter for a new one. The former was his preference, but during 1810-11 when renewal seemed impossible Bayard willingly served as chairman of the committee to secure a charter for a new institution. Defeated at this time by the vote of Vice-President Clinton, Bayard sought to keep the nation from the war into which she seemed to be drifting. He had little confidence in Napoleon's promises and saw clearly that Britain could not be coerced by commercial regulations (Bayard to Andrew Bayard, July 3, 1809; Mar. 5, 1810; to Wells, Jan. 12, 1812; Bayard Papers, pp. 177, 179, 188). He therefore joined Adams in urging that United States vessels be allowed to defend themselves and was pleased when our warships did so in the skirmishes with the Barbary States. He advised Federalist agreement in defensive measures and earnest support for all acts strengthening the army and navy. As late as May 2, 1812, he hoped the fear of additional free states from conquered Canada might induce the South to favor a naval war with Britain rather than land campaigns, a hope which had an unexpected measure of fulfilment in the war which followed. During this war Bayard is said to have "helped with his own hands to build a fort almost on the site of Fort Christina," the old Swedish fortress of 1638. Meanwhile necessity compelled the Republican leaders to abandon many of the methods used by Jefferson to obtain popularity. This brought Bayard and the President more in harmony as to the means of carrying on the war. A careful and judicious man devoted to his nation as well as to family and friends, Bayard was regarded as representing at this time both Federalist and Republican sentiment. The death of his sister Jane, Sept. 30, 1809, after serious mental derangement requiring much care from Bayard, allowed him more time for national service in those trying years, while his wife, who survived him until 1854, helped her husband during the war period by assuming many of the family cares.

With the European crisis of 1813 and the ability of the United States to maintain her rights upon the sea demonstrated, both Britain and the United States wished peace. Adams, Bayard, and Albert Gallatin, from different sections of the country, were appointed by President Madison to represent the United States. Bayard sailed from New Castle, Del., on May 9, 1813. By August 1814 when the representatives of the two nations met at Ghent, Napoleon had been captured, three armies had been sent to America, and Castlereagh, British foreign secretary, was willing to show the contempt he felt for the United States. A description of the negotiations is out of place here. Suffice it to say that eventually a treaty resulted, giving to neither party what it proposed but securing for the United States the control of the Mississippi River, eliminating from discussion certain questions which time alone could settle and others which the war itself had decided. In Bayard's opinion no power in Europe would soon disturb America again (Papers, pp. 366-67). On Feb. 27, 1815, Bayard was nominated minister to Russia, but he declined the position as he considered his services at that court unnecessary. His diplomatic ability was recognized in 1814-15, when he was chosen to continue with Adams, Clay, and Gallatin in negotiations for a treaty of commerce with Great Britain. Ill health prevented the completion of this mission, and on June 18, 1815, Bayard sailed from England for Wilmington, where he died six days after his arrival.

Colonel John Bubenheim Bayard (he dropped the name Bubenheim) was born in the Great House, Bohemia Manor, Cecil Co., Maryland, on August 11, 1738, and died in New Brunswick, N. J., on January 7,1807. He was one of the most distinguished members of this ancient family, holding many positions of importance.

He signed the non-importation agreement Oct. 25,1765; was delegate to Provincial Convention, July 15.1774; on Committee of Safety and Council of Safety. He had also quite a military career and was a gallant officer. In 1775 he was a Major of the Second Battalion and then Colonel of Associators and served during a period of two years. He was in the battle of Princeton and was personally thanked by General Washington for services rendered. He was also in the battles of Germantown, Brandywine and Valley Forge. He appears to have served in a military capacity and as a member of the State Board of War until after Dec. 4, 1777.

He had a seat on the Supreme Executive Council, Oct. 31, 1781; was Judge of High Court of Appeals, March 15, 1783; member of Continental Congress 1785; removed from Philadelphia, Pa., to New Brunswick, N. J., and became Mayor of that town in 1790, and Judge of Court of Common Pleas. We thus see what a distinguished gentleman he was: Patriot, soldier, and statesman.

Bayard practiced law chiefly in Wilmington and served for one year (1853-54) as U.S. attorney for Delaware, an office that his father had held some years earlier. During the sectional crisis of 1860-61 he was instrumental in keeping Delaware in the Union. He served in the U.S. Senate (1869-85), succeeding his father, and was secretary of state in the first administration of President Grover Cleveland. In 1893 Bayard was appointed ambassador to Great Britain.

Kentmere Parkway

By Susan Mulchahey Chase

From the Summer 2001 Newsletter

At the northwest end of Brandywine Park, a thread of lawn links the park to Kentmere Parkway. After following a straight course for several hundred yards, the broad boulevard curves gently to the west until it ends at Rockford Grove, which is the start of Rockford Park. Measuring just under a half-mile long, the parkway's green median is planted with mature trees and flanked on either side by substantial homes that are set well back from the roadway.

Kentmere Parkway, the green link between Brandywine Park to its neighbor Rockford Park, can claim close ties to the ideas of Frederick Law Olmsted, renowned designer of New York's Central Park. In 1883, Olmsted's endorsement of the riverside site persuaded the Board of Park Commissioners to acquire the land that became Brandywine Park. In less than a decade, F. L. Olmsted and Company would play a role in the creation of Kentmere Parkway.

In 1885, William M. Field and his wife, Jennie Riddle Field, offered a 100-foot right of way from Rattlesnake Run to what would become Rockford Park. The right of way included the path that Kentmere Parkway now follows. In his offer, Field indicated that he wanted the land to be a parkway called Kentmere Avenue. It took the Park Commissioners until 1889 to accept Field's offer because they wanted to consult with designers in Olmsted's practice about the thoroughfare's layout and about what restrictions would be needed to maintain it as a greensward through the developing residential neighborhood. J. C. Olmsted, Frederick Law Olmsted's nephew, and Park Commissioner William Poole Bancroft collaborated on plans for the roadway. Begun in 1891 and completed early in 1892, the parkway followed a curvilinear grading plan rather than Field's suggested straight path. Its gently curving route provided an important contrast to the rigid grid of the surrounding older urban neighborhoods.

At the Rockford Park end, Kentmere Parkway provides the setting for the Thomas F. Bayard Memorial statue. Thomas F. Bayard [1828-1898] served the nation, the state, and his native city in various capacities. During 1853-1854, he was the United States District Attorney for Delaware. Beginning with his election in 1869 to the United States Senate, he served three terms as one of Delaware's Senators. In 1885, President Grover Cleveland named him U. S. Secretary of State, a post he filled until 1889. Bayard's service to the nation took him abroad in 1893 when President Cleveland appointed him the first American Ambassador to the Court of St. James, making him the first U.S. ambassador to Great Britain. Prior to his appointment, America had sent ministers rather than ambassadors as representatives to foreign countries. Bayard returned to America in 1897 and died the following year.

Scholars assessing Bayard's influence on American history often credit him with forging the first strong links between the United States and England. He undertook this challenge when relations were strained as both America and England sought to extend their power around the world, America pursuing a policy of "manifest destiny" and Britain set on a course of empire building. Bayard found success in his efforts by focusing on the common heritage of language and history as the basis of collaboration.

Bayard's link with Wilmington's parks dates from 1869, when he served on a five-man committee that investigated and reported to City Council on the possibility of a park along the Brandywine. Lack of funds for nearly two decades made further action toward the creation of a park impossible, but, when the original Board of Park Commissioners convened in 1883, he took a place on the Board, a position he held until his death in 1898. Bayard was the Commissioner who suggested consulting with Frederick Law Olmsted about the purchase of the first parkland along the Brandywine, a recommendation that eventually provided the impetus to launch the city's park system.

On 22 June 1907, five thousand people turned out to honor Thomas Francis Bayard's memory when the memorial was dedicated. The statue originated in England, the work of Effie Stillman Richie, who sculpted the model for the statue and J. W. Singer and Son, Ltd., the firm that cast the bronze version. Bayard, shown in clothing typical of his lifetime, holds what contemporary news accounts called "a characteristic pose, with his cloak thrown over one arm."

It is interesting to reflect on the "firsts" that are represented by Kentmere Parkway. The roadway itself was the first link in what has developed as Wilmington's greenway system, Thomas Francis Bayard was America's first ambassador to England, and Frederick Law Olmsted, one of the nation's premier landscape architects, played a significant part in guiding the design of the parkway.
