Tues., Aug. 20, 1805, Wilmington Gazette
   DIED, at Washington, N. C., on the 18th ult., in consequence of a fall from 
a mule, which his misfortunes reconciled him to, RICHARD BLACKLEDGE, ESQ. of 
Beaufort County. He was one of the first settlers of this town; and his 
mercantile enterprise and industry, was a principal cause of so rapid an 
improvement in this place, that in less than 17 years from its first 
establishment as a town, this part of Washington owned more tons of shipping 
than any other port in the State. His perseverance and industry has no equal: 
his philanthropy knew no bounds. He was a loving and kind husband, a dutiful 
son, an affectionate brother, and a sincere friend.
