CAPTAIN ARCHIBALD WOODRUFF

WAS born in Elizabethtown, New Jersey, December 25, 1773. He came to Cincinnati in 1818, and died there, January 29, 1845.  During his early life he was a printer in New York City, and afterward joint proprietor of one of the daily newspapers of that city. Subsequently he became a sea captain and shipping merchant from Philadelphia. In 1813 he was illegally captured off the coast of France by two French frigates, under the orders in council of Napoleon Bonaparte, his vessel and cargo burned on the high seas, and himself and son William imprisoned at Brest. On application, and after three years' delay, he was allowed his whole claim by the French Government.

In 1821, and for several years afterward, he traded from Cincinnati with New Orleans and the West Indies, in stock and produce. He was more than six feet in height, of fine constitution, and highly esteemed by his fellow-citizens.
