The Leslie Family
...At what time the family located in Cecil County is unknown, but in 1758 Robert Lasley purchased a farm of about a hundred acres, a mile or two north of the town of North East, from which it seems probable that the family were in the county at that time. This Robert was probably the grandfather of Eliza and Charles Robert Leslie, who were the children of Robert Leslie and Catharine Baker, who were natives of this county. The Leslie homestead was about a mile north of the village of North East, and is described by Eliza as being ÙSover against Bulls Mountain.ÙT
Sometime previous to 1786, Robert Leslie and family removed to Elkton, where he was engaged in clock and watch making for a year or two. The family subsequently removed to Philadelphia, where Eliza was born November 16th, 1787...

Personal Reminiscences of Miss Eliza Leslie, by Alice B. Haven;
..."The first that I recollect her was in 1804, or 1806, when some gentleman friend said: 'I wish to show you some fine drawings of a young lady not more than seventeen years old, who belongs to a family of remarkable genius. They were very well done; and he shortly after brought the artist to see us. It was Eliza Leslie...'
[Autobiographical letter written by Eliza Leslie]
My Dear Friend: I was born in Philadelphis, at the corner of Market and Second streets, on the 15th of November, 1787, and was paptized in Christ Church by Bishop White.
Both my parents were natvies of Cecil County, Maryland, also the birthplace of my grandfather and grandmother, on each side. My great-grandfather, Robert Leslie, was a Scotchman. He came to settle in America about the year 1745 or '46, and bought a farm on Northeast River, nearly opposite to the insulated hill called Malden's Mountain. My maternal great-grandfather was a Swede, named Gonsen; so that I have no English blood in me.
My father was aman of considerable natural genius, and much self-taught knowledge, particularly in natural philosophy and in mechanics. He was also a good draughtsman, and a ready writer on scientific subjects; while, in his familar letters, and in his conversation, there was evidence of a most entertaining vein of humor, with extraordinary powers of description. He had a most excellent ear for music, and whitout any regular instruction,played well on the flute and violin. I remember, at this day, many fine Scottish aris that I have nver seen in print, and which my father had learnt in his boyhood from his Scottish grandsire, who was a good singer.
My mother was a handsome woman, of excellent sense, very amusing, and a first rate housewife.
Soon after their marriage, my parents removed from Elkton to Philadelphia, where my father commenced business as a watchmaker. He had great success. Philadelphia was then the seat of the Federal Government; and he soon obtained the custom of the principal people in the place, including that of Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson; the two last being his warm personal friends. There is a free masonry in men of genius, which makes them find out each other immediately. It was by Mr. Jefferson's recommendation that my father was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society. To Dr. Franklin, he suggested an improvement in lighningrods, that was immediately tested, and afterwards universally adopted. Among my father's familiar visitors were Robert Patterson, long professor of mathematics in the University of Pennsylvania, and afterwards president of the mint; Charles Wilson Peale, who painted the men of the Revolution, and founded the noble museum called by his name; John Vaughn, and Mathew Carey.
When I was about five years old, my father went to England, with the intention of engaging in the exportation of clocks and watches to Philadelphia, having recently taken into partnership Isaac Price, of this city. We arrived in London in June, 1793, after an old fashioned voyage of six weeks. We lived in England about six years and a half, when the death of my father's partner in Philadelphia obliged us to return home. An extraordinary circumstance compelled our ship to go into Lisbon, and detained us there from November till March; and we did not finish our voyage and arrive in Philadelphia till May. The winter we spent in Lisbon lodgings was very uncomfortable, but very amusing. After we came home, my father's health, which had long been precarious, declined rapidly; but he lived till 1803. My mother and her five children (of whom I was the eldest) were left in circumstances which rendered it necessary that she and myself should make immediate exertions for the support of those who were yet too young to assist themselves; as they did afterwards. Our difficulties we kept uncomplainingly to ourselves. We asked no assistance of our friends; we incurred no debts; and we lived on cheerfully, and with much moderate enjoyment as our means afforded; believing in the proverb that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
My two brothers were then, as they still are, sources of happiness to the family; but they both left home at the age of sixteen. Charles, with an extraordinary genius for painting, went to London to cultivate it. He rapidly rose to the front rank of his profession, and maintains a high place among the best artists of Europe. He married in England, and still lives there.
My youngest brother, Thomas Jefferson Leslie, having passed through the regular course of military education in the West Point Acadmey, was commissioned in the engineers, and, with the rank of major, is still attached to the army.
My sister, Anna Leslie, resides in New York. She has several times visited London, where she was instructed in painting by her brother Charles, and has been very successful in copying pictures. My youngest sister, Patty, became the wife of Henry C. Carey, and has left a void that never can be filled to all of us.
To return now, to myself. Fortunate in being gifted with a remarkable memory, I was never, in childhood, much troubled with long lessons to learn, or long exercises to write. My father thought I could acquire sufficient knowledge for a child by simply reading "in book," withougt making any great effort to learn things by heart; and, as this is not the plan usually pursued at shcools, I got nearly all my education at home. I had a French and music master, both coming to give lessons at the house, my father himself teaching me to write, and overlooking my drawings. My mother was fully competent to instruct me in every sort of useful sewing. I went three months to school merely to learn ornamental needle-work. All this was in London. We had a governess in the house for the younger children.

...Charles Robert Leslie, the artist, was born in London, October 19th, 1794. The family subsequently returned to Philadelphia, where young Leslie, who was learning the mercantile business, showed such remarkable talent for drawing that some of his friends sent him to London, that he might have the benefit of the tuition of the great masters of the English metropolis. He became a member of the Royal Academy and one of the most famous historical painters of his times. His autobiography, which is interspersed with many anecdotes of Sir Walter Scott, S. C. Coleridge, and Washington Irving, with each of whom he was on intimate terms, and many of the nobility, and most of the artists of the period in which he lived, is one of the most charming books of modern times. ..
