Newspaper clipping: National Intelligencer, January 27, 1820
Newspaper clipping from the *National Intelligencer*, published in Washington, D.C. on January 27, 1820. The clipping contains a detailed report from Albany, NY (dated January 20, 1820) concerning Mordecai Manuel Noah's proposal to establish a settlement for foreign Jews on Grand Island (near Buffalo). The editorial expresses sympathy for Noah's plan. Also included is an obituary of Starr Barrett of Charleston, South Carolina, reprinted from the *Southern Patriot* of January 14, 1820. The obituary describes Barrett as being over 120 years old, a claim that seems highly improbable given the detail provided.
