Outstanding Pennsylvania Romance
“There has been no more romantic
episode in Pennsylvania than that
of Justice Hugh Henry Bracken-
ridge, of the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court, and Sabina Wolfe, the Penn-
sylvania Dutch farm girl,” says
Henry W. Shoemaker, President of
the Pennsylvania Folk Lore Society,
State Museum, Harrisburg.
“Of Scottish origin, brought up
on the York county Barrens, Judge
Brackenridge went to Princeton
and tutored other students to pay
his way, completing his education
at the head of his class at the Uni-
versity, and was the author of
the first romantic novel in Pennsyl-
vania, ‘Modern Chivalry’, which
President Witherspoon of Princeton
styled, ‘the Pennsylvania Don Quix-
ote which sets a high standard
for American authorship’.
“In the Whiskey Resurrection of
1794, together with Albert Gallatin,
Brackenridge, with his strategy of
digging ‘underground’, prevented a
nation-wide civil war. Openly sid-
ing with the rebels, and becoming
their chiefs, Gallatin and Bracken-
ridge led them to a peaceful solu-
tion of the difficulties, despite the
fact that General George Washing-
ton and his army were on the
march to Pittsburgh.
“Later elected to the Pennsyl-
vania Supreme bench, Judge Brack-
enridge was famous for the lucidity
of his decisions, Said James Ross,
patriarch of the Pittsburgh bar who
ran for governor against Simon
Snyder, ‘A Brackenridge decision is
never reversed.’
“Brackenridge was a lonely man,
living with his law books and lit-
erary abstractions. One day when
he was riding from ‘Little Washing-
ton’ to Pittsburgh, he stopped at a
remote tavern, kept by Aaron
Wolfe, a Revolutionary War "vet-
eran. During the evening - meal,
he noted the polite attentions of
the hotel keeper's beautiful daugh-
ter, Sabina, who waited on the
table. She was of the old fashioned
dark Pennsylvania Dutch type so
different from his own long, lean
ruddiness, and he said to himself,
‘Is she Latin, Semetic or Indian?
Probably some of each,’ he con-
cluded. That night he kept dream-
ing of the lovely eighteen-year-old
\ brunette.

“Next morning, declining help in
Dianne have returned to their home | the stable, he went there to saddle
and bridle his horse, but though he
got the saddle on, the mettlesome
animal would not take the bit into
its teeth. Sabina, working in the
nearby kitchen garden, noticed his
difficulties, and placing one small
hand on the top rail of the inter-
vening fence sprang nimbly into
the farm yard. ‘It must be a Dutch
horse,” she said, laughing, and after
she whispered a few words of that
vernacular into its ear, it stood rig-

idly while the Judge bitted it. He
offered her a couple of ‘shillings’
which she courteously declined and
shaking her hand, the Judge
mounted and started on his way to
Pittsburgh.
“He had not gone a half mile be-
fore he began regretting his de-
parture and at the end of 10 miles,
he made up his mind to return for
Sabina and to claim her as his
bride. Upon his return, he tied
\ Scureman
his horse at the rail and sought out;
the grim old innkeeper and asked
for his daughter in marriage. The
grizzled old man stood silent for a
moment. ‘That would cost you two
hundred dollars,” he said, ‘She is a
fineworker and I could not get
another in her place for less than
that’. ‘Agreed’, said the Judge,
“Old Aaron took the money and
called his daughter. The Judge
explained the transaction to her
and she, smilingly, accepted the sit-
uation and left to gather her few
possessions together for her depart-
ure. Brackenridge bought her fav-
orite saddle beast, as her ‘dower
present’, for fifty dollars.
“What this strangely assorted but
not uncongenial couple discussed
on the ride %o Iron City no one
can know. They were married at
the Presbyterian Manse at Squirrel
Hill. The learned bridegroom, soon
after the cermony, put Sabina to
work, not at housework, but at
learning Greek, Latin, higher mathe-
matics, including calculus and conic
sections. In all of these she became
proficient and the three children |
born of the marriage are all said |
to have spoken Latin by the time
they were three years old.
“Sabina’s name frequently can be
noted in the social colunins of old
Pittsburgh newspapers, and she was
a model wife. Judge Brackenridge
lost his eldest daughter, Helen Lee,
a beautiful girl of sixteen, at Car-
lisle, while he was holding court
there in 1811. This was a great sor-
row as she was as talented as she
was lovely to look at, and when
he passed on in 1816, he asked to
be laid beside her in the old ceme-
tery at Carlisle, close to the grave
of Mary Ludwig (Molly Pitcher),
anether Pennsylvania Dutch girl
whose life had been almost as ro-
mantic and varied as Sabina
Wolfe's.”
