Observation-Disclosures AND Roor Some weeks
ago, paragraph, publishedin letter from Hudson,
in the Ncw York Herald, gave a biographical sketch
of the celebrated DR.. Boughton, lately convicted in
Columbia county, in which it was stated among
other things, that he resided while at Delhi till the
breaking out of the Patriot war in Canada, when he
enlisted under General Van Rensselaer,, at Albany,
together with Gen. Roots son, who was then Ca
Diet at West Point, and went to help the Patriots.
The like statement, we are informed, has been re-
published In other papers. We are assured by
friend OF Gen. Root that the statement far as re-
laes to his son is entirely erroneous. He never had
but two sons-the eldest of whom was Mldship-
man in the Navy, and died in 1928; and the other
was commissioned Lieutenant in the Army Of the
United States in the early part Of Mr.. Van Buren's
administrations and is still in service in the 9Th regl-
ment of infantry now in Texas
