Died at “Academy Hill,” Upper Marlboro, October 12, 1823, without issue. It was the imprisonment of his friend, Dr. Beanes, on board an English ship in the Bay, 1814, that led Key to go aboard and seek his release, and thus gave occasion and inspiration for our national song. He was an accomplished scholar and a popular gentleman.
