Years elapsed, & Mary his granddaughter, the child of Capt. James Lawrence, as heir, claimed its restoration. The case was carried before King William the Fourth, in Council. On being told, he said: "She is the daughter of a brave sailor, let her take it." [The quote is recorded by Lorenzo Sabine, but where did he locate it? -PJA.]
