Notes |
- From a document written by a Brian Whitfield that is posted on the Internet, dated 8/1/2008
In the year 1813, when Thomas was about 14 years old, he went to London to visit his father. His father received him very kindly. One morning, he took him over to Windsor Castle to present him to the Prince Regent. They were received in the private reception room of the prince. When the Prince came in, he wore a long dressing gown indicating that he had just come from his sleeping room. He placed his hand on the head of the boy and speaking to the father said "Whitfield, is this the boy that you were speaking to me of?" The father replied in the affirmative, and there followed a long conversation in which the father was urging the Prince to do something for his son. Just what it was the boy did not understand, but he understood that finally the Prince agreed to do it and the father in high spirits took the son and bade the Prince good-bye and went away greatly elated.
On their return home, the father showed the son all over his house, calling his attention continually to the various things the house contained. Among other things, he showed him a cash-box full of gold coins. After he showed him everything, he said "Now my boy come and live with me and I will make a gentleman out of you." To which, Thomas replied, "my mother will take care of me, Sir!".
This so angered the father that he turned away from the boy, and had nothing more to say to him, and soon after the boy went back to his mother and never saw his father again.
