Synopsis
Excerpt from Raphael Semmes
Raphael Semmes, of french-american descent, and of Catholic family, was born in Charles County, Maryland, on September 27, 1809, just seven months and two weeks after the birth of Abraham Lincoln, the most towering personality in that same titanic upheaval in which Semmes won his fame. The father of Raphael Semmes was Richard Thompson Semmes, according to the best authority fifth in descent from the first American ancestor, Benedict Joseph Semmes, of Normandy, France, who came over with Lord Baltimore in in the Ark and Dove. Raphael's mother was Catherine Hooe Middleton, a descendant of Arthur Middleton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
