Benjamin Stoddert -- born in 1751 in Charles County, Md. --  served as a captain in the Pennsylvania cavalry from 1777 to 1779. In 1779, he took up the post of secretary to the Board of War. On 6 February 1781, he resigned from that post to begin what was to become an astonishingly successful mercantile trade out of Georgetown, then located within the jurisdiction of the state of Maryland. General George Washington employed Benjamin Stoddert's keen business wisdom to good advantage in the first delicate moves to establish the Federal capital. Acting singly, or jointly with others, Stoddert purchased important tracts and sites that were later ceded to the Federal government at great savings after the boundaries of the District of Columbia were established. His mercantile experience and staunch Federalism led to his appointment as the first Secretary of the Navy, tendered by President John Adams on 18 May 1798 and confirmed three days later. This proved a most fortunate appointment at a critical time when the United States Navy was very weak, and the nation was on the verge of a war with France over depredations committed against American merchant shipping by French privateers. Through great effort, he acquired 50 ships in the next two years, forming a fleet under celebrated officers that gave protection to expanding American commerce, so vital to the growth and well being of the nation. During the Naval War with France, Stoddert received Congressional authorization for a new Navy of 13 frigates and 12 74-gun warships. Acting on the advice of Joshua Humphreys and using the need for space to build the larger 74-gun ships, he acquired property for the development of navy yards in Portsmouth and Kittery, Maine; Washington, Boston, Gosport, Va., New York, and Philadelphia. He also drafted the important bill for the government of the United States Marine Corps and commenced the construction of the United States Navy Hospital at Newport, R.I. At the request of President Thomas Jefferson, Stoddert stayed on as Secretary of the Navy until April 1801, then resumed his commercial activities. He died on 13 December 1813.
