Chapter 2:

 [Family history] Marmaduke Temple's Quaker ancestor had emigrated to 

Pennsylvania, but his sons soon lost the family money. Marmaduke's father, however, had 

revived the family fortunes and given his son a good education. At school Marmaduke became 

friends with one Edward Effingham, wealthy son of Major Oliver Effingham of the British 

Army. Marmaduke entered into successful business, with Edward as his silent partner. When the 

Revolution broke out, Edward became Colonel of a Loyalist regiment, and turned over his 

money and papers to Marmaduke for safe keeping; Marmaduke was a patriot but did not join the 

Continental Army. After the Revolution Marmaduke became wealthy by buying up at low prices 

the confiscated properties of Loyalists in upstate New York, and then travelled to New York 

State to settle the properties he had bought. When a new county was formed, he became its first 

Judge.
