With Esq. missing at the end of George’s name, it is hard to tell if this letter was addressed to him or his wife, Mary Ann (Mansfield) Vickers (c1805-1895).
George Vickers (1801-1979) was an attorney in Maryland with a law practice in downtown Chestertown on Court Street. His farm was located around three miles outside of Chestertown in the Quaker Neck area of the county.
He established himself prominently in the years preceding the Civil War. In 1852, he was elected as a delegate to the Whig National Convention. His prominence within the state led him to being appointed a Major-General within the State militia during the Civil War. In 1866, he was one of the vice-presidents of the Union Convention. Then, from 1866 to 1867 he was a member of the State Senate. This would ultimately lead to him being elected a U.S. Senator for the term that ended on March 3, 1873.
