3. MUDD_120526_086.JPG: Dr. Samuel A. Mudd Treating an Assassin John Wilkes Booth -- Escape of an Assassin This house was the home of Dr. Samuel Alexander Mudd and his wife, Sarah Frances Dyer. Early on the morning of April 15, 1865, John Wilkes Booth arrived here with a companion, David E. Herold, and asked Mudd to set Booth's broken leg. Afterward, as Booth rested in an upstairs bedroom, Mudd rode into Bryantown, then returned home late in the afternoon to find his visitors departing. Questioned later by U.S. authorities, Mudd claimed he did not recognize Booth or know that he was being sought, and only learned of President Abraham Lincoln's assassination in Bryantown. Other witnesses stated, however, that late in 1864, Booth had met Mudd at St. Mary's Catholic Church, below Bryantown, while visiting Charles County ostensibly to purchase real estate. He then came here, spent the night, and bought a horse from Mudd's neighbor. Mudd allegedly accompanied Booth into Bryantown and introduced him to a friend, Confederate agent Thomas Harbin. A few days later, a witness stated, Mudd met Booth again in Washington and introduced him to John H. Surratt. Charged with conspiring with Booth from the beginning, Mudd claimed that the earlier meetings were innocent, Booth had been disguised on April 15, and he had only done his duty as a physician. Convicted and sentenced to life in prison at Fort Jefferson in the Florida Keys, Mudd distinguished himself treating sick prisoners and guards alike during a deadly 1867 yellow fever epidemic. President Andrew Johnson pardoned him in 1869. Mudd died here on January 10, 1883.

Wikipedia Description: Samuel Mudd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samuel Alexander Mudd, I (December 20, 1833 – January 10, 1883) was a Maryland physician implicated and imprisoned for aiding and conspiring with John Wilkes Booth, in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.

Early years:

Born in Charles County, Maryland, he was the fourth of ten children of Henry Lowe Mudd and his wife, Sarah Ann Reeves. His father owned a large plantation called "Oak Hill," which was approximately 30 miles (48 kilometres) from downtown Washington, DC.

The Mudd family valued education highly. At 15, after several years of home-schooling, Sam Mudd attended boarding school at St. John’s College in Frederick City, Maryland. After two years, he attended Georgetown College in Washington, D.C. He then studied medicine as a student in the University of Maryland Medical Department, in Baltimore. He wrote his graduation thesis on dysentery. Upon graduation in 1856, he returned to his Charles County home to practice medicine. The following year in 1857 he married his childhood sweetheart Sarah Frances Dyer Mudd, who was known by family and friends as “Frankie” or “Frank”.

As a wedding present, Dr. Mudd's father, Henry Lowe Mudd, gave his son 218 acres of his best farmland, known as St. Catherine’s, and built a new house for his son on the property. While the house was being built, Dr. and Mrs. Mudd lived with Jeremiah Dyer, Mrs. Mudd’s bachelor brother. In 1859, Dr. and Mrs. Mudd moved into their new home. They had the following children:

* Andrew Jerome Mudd (1858-1882)
* Lillian Augusta "Sissie" Mudd (1860-1940)
* Thomas Dyer Mudd (1862-1929)
* Samuel Alexander Mudd, II (1864-1930)
* Henry Mudd (born 1870, died at eight months)
* Stella Marie Mudd (1871-1952)
* Edward Joseph Mudd (1873-1946)
* Rose De Lima "Emie" Mudd (1875-1943)
* Mary Eleanor "Nettie" Mudd (1878-1943)

2012 photos: Equipment this year: My mainstays were the Fuji S100fs, Nikon D7000, and the new Fuji X-S1. I also used an underwater Fuji XP50 and a Nikon D600. The first three cameras all broke this year and had to be repaired. Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Shepherdstown, WV, Richmond, VA, and Williamsburg, VA), a week-long family reunion cruise of the Caribbean, another week-long family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with lots of in-transit time in Ohio and Indiana), and my 7th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including side trips to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. I had a photograph of the George Segal San Francisco Holocaust memorial used as the cover of Quebec Francais (issue 165). Not being able to read French, I'm not entirely sure what the article is about but, hey! And I guess what could be considered to be a positive thing, my site is now established enough that spammers have noticed it and I had to block 17,000 file description postings for Viagra and whatever else.. Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
