The Herald, Frederick, MD, 18 December 1830
Died, On the 3d inst. Daniel Sheffey, esq. a gentlemean distinguished for his
talents and legal 
acquirements.  He was formerly a member of congress from Virginia, and his
celebrated reply to Mr. 
Randolph, who reproached him with his origin and former pursuits, (he having once
worked at the trade 
of shoe-making in this city) was one of the most eloquent vindications of God
Almighty’s noblemen we 
ever read, and made the “Orator of Roanoke” ashamed of his nobility.
