  [S5352860288] Old Kent: Eastern Shore, Hanson, George A., (Regional Publishing Co, Baltimore, MD, 1967, Originally pub 1876.). Isaac Freeman Rasin, son of Robert Wilson adn Mary Rebecca Ringgold Rasin, m 4 Mar 1862, Julia Ann Claypool, and had child., viz., Martha Anne Rasin,--Genevieve Ringgold Rasin,--Howard Claypool Rasin,--John Thomas Rasin, and Morris Claypool Rasin. [S8072387512] The Morris family of Philadelphia, descendants of Anthony Morris, born 1654-1721 died, Moon, Robert Charles, (Philadelphia: Moon, 1898-1909.). The following appears in the Sun, Baltimore, March 9, 1907: -- Mr. I Freeman Rasin was one of the most remarkable figures in American politics. His family was of French ancestry. His father, Robert Wilson Rasin, was in early life a farmer in Kent county, but moved to Baltimore, where he engaged in business as a real estate agent. The family is descended from William Rasin, who settled in Kent, in 1669. Mr. Rasin's mother was Mary Rebecca Ringgold Rasin. Born in Kent county, on March 11, 1833, he was educated at Washington College, Chestertown, Maryland. At an early age he moved with his parents to Baltimore and became a drygoods clerk. Later he engaged in business on his own account and successfully conducted it until 1867, when he was elected Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas. He was re-elected in 1873 by a majority of 14,000 and re-elected for the third time in 1879, thus serving 18 consecutive years in this office. In 1886 he was appointed Naval Officer for the port of Baltimore by President Cleveland and served until 1890. Mr. Rasin was Insurance Commissioner from 1892 until 1895, and during Mr. Cleveland's second administration was offered the United States Consulship in Berlin, but declined it. He was the delegate to the National Convention that nominated Cleveland for the third time, and had always been a warm friend and admirer of the ex-President. It is doubtful if any political leader in this country has paralleled the career of Mr. Rasin. For nearly 40 years he had exercised a control over the Democratic Party in this city so absolute and so complete as to amount almost to a dictatorship. His rise to power; his many battles; his methods and his personality present a story of remarkable human interest. It can be written truthfully of him, that he lived the strenuous life and he was always on guard. No other man in the city ever held or wielded the influence and power that were Mr. Rasin's. he had made Mayors, Judges, Governors, United States Senators and Congressmen, to say nothing of scores of councilmen, members of the House of Delegates, State Senators, State's Attorneys, clerks of courts and other officials. Mr. Rasin was one of the most interesting of men. He had a way of talking that impressed what he said on his listener's mind, and the manner in which he said things was original. His devotion to his family and his family's devotion to him were marked. he was wrapped up in his two sons and his sons were equally devoted to him.
