Notes

"Their son, Thomas Roderick Dew, born December 5, 1802, became the thirteenth President of William & Mary College. "He was graduated at William and Mary in 1820, and afterward traveled two years in Europe. In 1827 he was appointed professor of history, metaphysics, and political economy in William and Mary, of which college he was made president in 1836.

His published works are: The Policy of the Government ( 1829 ); An Essay in Favor of Slavery, ( 1833) which produced an extraordinary effect upon the public mind,and for a while set at rest the subject of emancipation inVirginia; A Digest of the Laws, Customs, Manners, and Institutions of Ancient and Modern Nations. This is a treatise on the history of the world from its earliest peroid to the French Revolution. He also published Lectures, on Usury, History, The Characteristic Difference of Man and Woman, and contributed to the Southern Literary Messenger." His correspondence with his editor, now preseved in the Emmet Collection, New York Public Library discloses that his writings were taught in William and Mary College.

The same year he was elected President of William and Mary College a shadow crossed the path of his mother in the loss of her only surviving daughter, Mary Ellen, wife of the Hon.Thomas Gresham, of Woodlawn, King and Queen County. The writer is indebted to Miss Eva Dew Gresham, of Tappahannock, Virginia, for the dates copied by her from the tombstones at Dewsville and also for permission to reproduce the daguerrotype of her great-grandmother, Mrs.Lucy ( Gatewood ) Dew and the following letter of Dr. Thomas Roderick Dew to his brother-in-law, the Hon. Thomas Greshamon the occasion of the death of his wife, Mrs. Ellen ( Dew) Gresham: Wm. & Mary College March 1-36

My Dear Friend:I have received to day the most melancholy tidings of my poor sister's death, & feel a sorrow which I am incapable of describing, in the loss of an only, a beloved, & an affectionate sister. My heart for some time past was drawn closer to her, not only for her virtues & her warm attachments, but because she was my only sister. I felt proud & thankful that I had still one affectionate, one amiable sister left. But alas the Mandate of heaven has taken her away too! My dear friend I know the irreparable loss that you have sustained--I know the mouring & destress which now visit you in your bereaved family! Would to God that this cruel stroke could have been averted. But how vain are all human wishes! You must bear with fortitude your afflictions. I wish I could see you now--My heart most deeply sympathises with you in your awful distresses. Suffer not your situation to depress you too much--You must remember the delicacy of your own constitution and the importance of your life & exertions for your children, thus early bereaved of a loving mother's care. I wish most cordially that the 4th of July were at hand that I might visit you. Adieu my dear friend & receive the fervent wishes for your welfare of one who will always be your sincere friend T. R. Dew Be sure you write to me.

Dr. Dew married in 1845, Nathalie Hay, daughter of a physician of Clarke County, Virginia, and the following summer while traveling in Europe on a wedding tour died in Paris.Through the influence of Dr. John Stewart Bryan, President of William and Mary College and the co-operation of relatives of President Dew his ashes after ninety-three years were removed from Montmartre Cemetery in Paris and re-interred in the Crypt in the Sir Christopher Wren Building, William and Mary College, Williamsburg, Virginia. At the Memorial Service the simple and impressive rites of the Protestant Episcopal Church were conducted by the Right Reverend William A. Brown of the Diocese of Virginia, and a wreath was laid upon the tomb by Mrs. Alfred I. DuPont, of Nemours, Wilmington, Delaware, a great-great-granddaughter of Captain Thomas and Lucy ( Gatewood ) Dew. Dr. Bryan, in his address, delivered before a representative group of educators, government officials and others gathered for the service said that during the ten years Dr. Dew held the Presidency he "met the challenge of his age and in so doing achieved endless fame."
