Key, Francis Scott (1779–1843)

On August 24, 1814, a British army occupied Washington and burned many of its public buildings and the Washington Navy Yard before withdrawing. As British forces withdrew through Upper Marlboro, Maryland, on August 26, they took Dr. William Beanes, a prominent physician and friend of Francis Scott Key, as prisoner. Friends of Beanes asked Key to seek his release, which he did with Colonel J. S. Skinner, but they had to wait with the fleet while the British carried out an attack on Baltimore.
