back to Lexington, Kentucky for burial at Ashland. Henry
Clay was in Washington at the time of his daughter's
death and unable to attend her funeral with the rest of the
family.
James Erwin wrote the following letter to his father-in-law: "The Woodlands, December 15, 1835 My Dear Sir, I feel myself scarcely equal to the task which my duty imposes, that of writing you at this time, and speaking of the late dreadful calamity with which it has pleased God to afflict us -- by which, at the same fatal blow, has been taken from your daughter, unequaled in filial devotion and love, and from me a wife, the most devoted kind, and virtuous, with which man was ever blessed. "Other friends have, I learn, given you the particulars of this sad event, which will spare me the pain of presenting to you the heart-rending scene which was so unexpectantly produced by the hadn of Providence. "My home, lately the happoest, which I have shared for years with a beloved wife, who returned my affection with a devotion almost unknown, who whether I was worthy or not, honored me with a love and confidence which I would not have exchanged for the whole world beside, that home is now to me insuppertable. Every object that presents itself -- each tree and flower, once so dear when objects of her care -- now serve only to make known to me my loss and my misery. The beloved object who gave life and animation to all, has left me to lament ever my wretched fate. "You, my dear sir, I am fully sensible, can and will extend to me more sympathy than any other human being -- you who best knew her exalted worth, who have daily witnessed our happiness, not surpassed, I vainly believe, in the annals of wedded life -- you who shared our pleasures and our joy, who bestowed upon me the choicest gift of heaven, can feel for me, but who, I fear, will require for yourself all the sympathy of your friends, and all thephilosophy with which you are endowed, to support you under this sad nereavement. Mrs. Clay, although in reality scarcely able to support herself under this sever trial, has suppressed, as far as she was able, her own feelings, intent only in rendering to me and my dear children every kindness which her judgement and affection could suggest. She has abondoned her own home and remained with me, exerting herslef to preserve the babe which has cost us all so dear. My children now ten-fold more dear to me than before, afford me much consolation, yet they are the objects of my greatestsolocitude; for me to remain here is impossible, and to part from any of them, at this moment, will be equally trying. Mrs. Clay at once kindly proposed taking charge of all of them, and to have Miss Brulard remove to Ashland, for the present, and teach them as before. Miss B. wishes to return South, and the plan now is, to leave the three youngest at Ashland, the babe with Lotty and a wet nurse under Mrs. Clay's care, and for the boys, Henry and James, to accompany me. "I expect to leave for New Orleans two days hence. My boys will be important to me, and I shall take care not to let any feeling prevent their having the best means for their improvement afforded them. "I shall hope to hear from you very soon after I reach New Orleans.", at age 28.1,3,4 |

| James
Erwin Jr.
was born in 1828. He was the son of James Patton Erwin and Ann Brown Clay.
James Erwin Jr. died in 1848 at New Orleans, Plaquemines
Parish, Louisiana; "In 1848, during the early summer
there was a family tragedy that is not mentioned in any
family records: James Erwin, Jr., committed suicide in the
St. Charles Hotel in New Orleans. The family scuttled the
facts in the case to such a degree that there is no
documented evidence available, either to the act or the
motives behind it. James II is buried in Lexinton near his
father, and not far from Anne."
Margaret Johnson Erwin (his step-mother) wrote: "The tragedy is unexplained. It was not gambling and it was not drinking for he had not been doing much of that of late. Two friends had been with him and one was there when he heard the shot. No apparent reason. J. Jr. was always a complex, remote boy. James, Sr. has not been the same since the affair in the hotel in New Orleans. He was always perplexed by J. Jr. but always felt some kindred concern -- closer than father and son. He is most depressed and goes north next week." A. Trinickett writes: "James Erwin, Esq., grandson of Mr. Clay, shot himself at the St. Charles in New Orleans morning of the 3rd inst. Mr. E. resided in Ky."1,2 |

Margaret died on 19 August 1863,, The last years of
Margaret's life were filled with personal tragedy. She
did not live to enjoy Mount Holly. Her step-son Andrew
Eugene Erwin was killed during the War Between the States,
and several others of her children and many members of her
family died. Dr. Dudley was an amiable, handsome, but lazy
aimless man, seldom dpoing more than read or ride over the
plantation between juleps. Margaret wrote a friend.
"Charlie has distinguished himself by being more
inebriated at two in the afternoon than he usually is at
two in the morning" In July 1863, she wrote, "I
fear heredity so much. My misteak may yet be visited on my
last child. I rejoice that Dr. Ben will never know the
truth about his son. But appearances must still be kept up
in this God-forsaken part of our land. The amenities of our
once-happy life are being taken away from us; not all the
money in the world can buy them back. . .gold has a hollow
sound"
She died of yellow fever, a lonely woman. Only her son, Johnson Erwin, her husband and their son Charles, Jr. were present. Most of her estranged family attended the brief ceremony that took place in the family cemetery near Chatham, Mississippi. "Now even the small cemetery containing her grave is gone -- washed into the oblivion of Margaret's dear Lake Washington by the great flood of 1927.", at Lake Washington, Washington Co., Mississippi, at age 42.4,6 |
