Francis Scott Key Francis Scott Key was a respected young lawyer living in Georgetown just west of where the modern day Key Bridge crosses the Potomac River (the house was torn down after years of neglect in 1947). He made his home there from 1804 to around 1833 with his wife Mary and their six sons and five daughters. At the time, Georgetown was a thriving town of 5,000 people just a few miles from the Capitol, the White House, and the Federal buildings of Washington. But, after war broke out in 1812 over Britian's attempts to regulate American shipping and other activities while Britain was at war with France, all was not tranquil in Georgetown. The British had entered Chesapeake Bay on August 19th, 1814, and by the evening of the 24th of August, the British had invaded and captured Washington. They set fire to the Capitol and the White House, the flames visible 40 miles away in Baltimore. President James Madison,his wife Dolley, and his Cabinet had already fled to a safer location. Such was their haste to leave that they had had to rip the Stuart portrait of George Washington from the walls without its frame! A thunderstorm at dawn kept the fires from spreading. The next day more buildings were burned and again a thunderstorm dampened the fires. Having done their work the British troops returned to their ships in and around the Chesapeake Bay.

Francis Scott Key (1779-1843) was a well known Washington lawyer and amateur verse writer. He became famous for writing the words of "The Star-Spangled Banner," now the national anthem of the United States. It was wrote as a poem during the War of 1812. When the British retreated from Washington during the war, they took Key's friend William Beanes with them. Key recieved permission from President James Madison to intercede with the British for Beanes' release. Key boarded a prisoner-exchange boat in September 1814. The boat was held in temporary custody by a British warship. From this exciting vantage point in the midst of the enemy, Key witnessed the British fleet's bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor. He watched the shelling with anxiety throughout the night. The next morning, he saw that "our flag was still there" despite the ordeal. His joy inspired him to write a poem about it. Key turned the text over to a Baltimore printer after being released by the British. He borrowed the tune from a popular English drinking song, "To Anacreon in Heaven." Congress adopted his song, "The Star Spangled Banner," as the national anthem of the United States in 1931. Key was born in Frederick County (now Carroll County). He attended St. Johns College in Annapolis. In 1801, he began to practice law in Frederick. He became district attourney of the District of Columbia in 1833 and remained so until 1841. He never took poetry seriously, though he wrote enough to fill a collection

Francis Scott Key Francis Scott Key was born on August 1, 1779, in western Maryland. His family was very wealthy and owned an estate called "Terra Rubra." When Francis was 10 years old, his parents sent him to grammar school in Annapolis. After graduating at the age of 17, he began to study law in Annapolis while working with his uncle's law firm. By 1805, he had a well-established law practice of his own in Georgetown, a suburb of Washington, D.C. By 1814, he had appeared many times before the Supreme Court and had been appointed the United States District Attorney. Francis Scott Key was a deeply religious man. At one time in his life, he almost gave up his law practice to enter the ministry. Instead, he resolved to become involved in the Episcopal Church. Because of his religious beliefs, Key was strongly opposed to the War of 1812. However, due to his deep love for his country, he did serve for a brief time in the Georgetown field artillery in 1813. During the War of 1812, Dr. William Beanes, a close friend of Key's was taken prisoner by the British. Since Key was a well-known lawyer, he was asked to assist in efforts to get Dr. Beanes released. Knowing that the British were in the Chesapeake Bay, Key left for Baltimore. There Key met with Colonel John Skinner, a government agent who arranged for prisoner exchanges. Together, they set out on a small boat to meet the Royal Navy On board the British flagship, the officers were very kind to Key and Skinner. They agreed to release Dr. Beanes. However, the three men were not permitted to return to Baltimore until after the bombardment of Fort McHenry. The three Americans were placed aboard the American ship and waited behind the British fleet. From a distance of approximately eight miles, Key and his friends watched the British bombard Fort McHenry.

Francis Scott Key "Terra Rubra" (Latin for "red land") because of its red clay soil. The plantation covered 3,000 acres of forests, fields, and streams and was a beautiful place to grow up. Francis’s father, John Key, was a judge who traveled from town to town to listen to court cases. Key’s Uncle Philip introduced him to a young woman named Mary Taylor Lloyd. Key nicknamed her "Polly" and enjoyed writing poetry for her. In 1800, Key became a lawyer and set up his practice in Frederick, Maryland. In 1802, he and Polly got married and soon after moved to Washington, D.C., where Uncle Philip had invited Francis to be his law partner. The United States declared war on Great Britain on June 18, 1812, after many arguments about trade during a war between Great Britain and France. After the British defeated France in early1814, they attacked the United States. In August of 1814, British soldiers burned the White House, the Capitol Building, and the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Then they tried to capture Baltimore. During the battle, the three men stayed in the cabin of their boat, except for when Key occasionally emerged to look for the American flag over Fort McHenry. Seeing the flag there meant the Americans were still in control. During the stormy night, Key emerged again to look for the flag. It was wet and drooping, but it was still there. Early the next morning, both the battle and the rain were over when Key looked out again. The American flag was still flying over Ft. McHenry. Against all odds, the United States had won the battle.

8. My American Heroes ~ Francis Scott Key Francis Scott Key 1779 – 1843. Francis Scott Key was an American attorneyand poet. Francis Scott Key witnessed the last enemy fire on Fort McHenry. http://skylinerfan.angelcities.com/page9a.html

Francis Scott Key Francis Scott Key was an American attorney and poet. He witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry in 1814 and was inspired to write a poem about its survival. Set to music, it became known as The Star Spangled Banner. In 1931, it was declared the United States of America's National Anthem. In addition to giving the American Flag another name, "The Star Spangled Banner" altered and gave depth and meaning to the way Americans viewed their flag. National flags, in the early 1800’s, were viewed by Americans and people from other countries, as a military emblem. The song, "The Star Spangled Banner", had become so popular in the 1860’s, and so closely related to the (stirring) events of the Civil War, that the American Flag was elevated and encumbered deep in the hearts of the American people. Today, our American Flag is our primary and paramount symbol of American patriotism. Francis Scott Key left Baltimore, under a truce flag with the intent and purpose of obtaining the release of a friend, who was captured at Marlborough, by the British command. Key went to the mouth of the Patuxent, but was not permitted to return so that the intended attack on Baltimore would not be disclosed. He was brought up the Bay, to the mouth of the Patapsco, where the flag vessel was kept under the guns of a frigate. Key was compelled to witness the bombardment of Fort McHenry, which the Admiral had boasted that would be carried out shortly and that the city must fall.

Francis Scott Key In August 1814 Francis Scott Key, a respected young lawyer living in Georgetown, Virginia, found that his friend, Dr. William Beanes was taken captive by the British army soon after it's departure from Washington. Francis left Georgetown for Baltimore to obtain the services of Colonel John Skinner, the government's prisoner of war exchange agent. The war at Fort McHenry had just begun, and the British had taken American prisoners. Francis and John sailed on a truce ship and met the British fleet. Francis successfully negotiated the doctor's release, but was detained with John Skinner and Dr. Beanes by the British until after the attack on Baltimore. Francis' vessel was eight miles below the fort during the bombardment on Fort McHenry, which was in Baltimore Maryland, under the watchful eye of a British warship. From this site, Francis Scott Key witnessed the British attack on the fort, after which he was inspired to write the words to "The Star Spangled Banner." Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous flight, o'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which breeze o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, in full glory reflected now shines on the stream: 'Tis the Star-Spangled Banner! O long

Francis had one sister, Anne Phoebe Carlton Key, who later married Roger Brooke Taney. In 1789, at the age of ten, Francis was sent to Annapolis to obtain an education. He entered St. John's College, and due to little dormitory space, he lived with his blind grandmother, Ann Ross Key, and his great-aunt and uncle, Dr. and Mrs. Upton Scott. Key's middle name was given to him as a tribute to his great-uncle, Dr. Scott. The Georgian house owned by the Scotts, is on Shipwright Street, and is in pretty much the same condition today as it was in the 1700s. It is said that this is the home of Richard Carvel's grandfather in Winston Churchill's famous Annapolis romance. Dr. Scott originally came to Maryland as the personal physician to Royal Governor Sharpe. Scott fled Maryland for Ireland as a Tory refugee during the American Revolutionary War. Tories were outlawed in Maryland, and many were hanged. Tories were those persons that during the Revolution favored the side of the English.

16. Internet Obituary Network, Obituary For Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald. Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born toan Irish Catholic family in St. Paul Minnesota on September 24, 1896. http://obits.com/keyfs.html

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born to an Irish Catholic family in St. Paul Minnesota on September 24, 1896. His parents named him after a cousin who wrote the national anthem. His father was an unsuccessful wicker furniture manufacturer and Proctor and Gamble salesman. In 1911 Francis went to New Jersey and attended the Newman School, a Catholic prep school. After graduating in 1913, he attended Princeton University, where he wrote for the "Princeton Tiger" humor magazine, and for the "Nassau Literary Magazine." Floundering academically, he joined up with the army in 1917. Soon he became a lieutenant in the infantry. In the war, he wrote "The Romantic Egotist" but publishers refused it. Fitzgerald fell in love with eighteen-year-old Zelda Sayre. The two were soon engaged. But Fitzgerald was refused publication yet again, and his poor financial state displeased Zelda, the youngest daughter of an Alabama Supreme Court judge. She broke off their engagement. Fitzgerald quit his New York job and moved back to St. Paul to revise and rename his novel. "This Side of Paradise" was finally published, by Scribners, in 1920. It describes the hopes and dreams of Amory Blaine. It was an instant success, and Zelda returned to him. The pair were married one week later. Fitzgerald began writing for popular magazines like "The Saturday Evening Post," and he published a second novel, "The Beautiful and the Damned." Zelda gave birth to Frances Scott Fitzgerald in 1921. Fitzgerald wrote a Broadway screenplay, "The Vegetable" in 1922. He moved to Great Neck, Long Island, to be nearer Broadway. Unfortunately, the play flopped, and he began to take to drinking instead of writing. In 1924, the pair left for France, for a quieter place to write. There, he wrote "The Great Gatsby." The novel didn't sell well, but the sale of movie and play rights helped make up for it. He began writing a forth novel, but progress was slow. The Fitzgeralds returned to the U.S. and rented a mansion outside Wilmington, Delaware, in 1927. Progress on the forth novel was still painfully slow.

FRANCIS SCOTT KEY Ever since I was a young boy, sitting on my grandmother's knee or resting in my mother's lap, I have loved the sound of words and poetry. It was the childhood experience of listening to my mother and my grandmother, as they read to me from the Bible and from the sonnets and plays of William Shakespeare, that instilled in me a love of words and poetry. I was born on August 1, 1779 on my father's plantation, Terra Rubra (which is Latin for "red earth",) in what was then still part of Frederick County, Maryland. It is now located in Carroll County. My father, John Ross Key, was a veteran of the Revolutionary War. He fought with General Washington at the battle of Trenton. My mother has a very long name - Anne Phoebe Penn Dagworthy Charlton Key. I have one sister, whose name is also Anne. I am married, and my wife's name is Mary. We have eleven children. We live in Georgetown, near Washington, D.C. where I practice law. In 1814, during the War of 1812, I was asked by President James Madison to negotiate with the British (with whom our country, the United States, was at war) for the release of an American doctor, William Beanes, who had been taken prisoner. I had to sail out on the Chesapeake Bay to do my negotiating. Soon after I obtained Dr. Beanes' release, I witnessed the British bombardment of Fort McHenry. That is what inspired me to write the "Star Spangled Banner.” In later years, I helped to establish a school for poor children in Georgetown, where I was also an active member of the Episcopal Church. In 1833, President Andrew Jackson appointed me to be district attorney for Washington, an important job.
