Notes for Judge Tristam Burges:
US Congressman. Great-great uncle to Theodore Francis Green. Born to a farmer who joined the
Revolutionary Army in 1775 but had to return home due to illness. He was the youngest of 3 boys
all of whom worked the farm and were apprenticed as coopers. He received very little formal
education until his 20's. He was taught to read by his older sister and his father taught him some
math and writing. In April of 1791 he entered the academy run by Reverend William Williams in
Wrentham Mass. He was there only a short time before he returned home due to illness. His return
to school in October was cut short by the death of his father. Although he spoke well in normal
conversation he soon found that he stuttered when speaking in public. He conquered his speech
impediment and became such a good orator that he was selected to give the valedictory speech. In
September 1793 he was admitted to Rhode Island College (Brown University). His meager funds
lasted nearly till the end of his studies. The graduates, according to the importance of their
commencement contribution, absorbed the cost of graduation. Giving the valedictory speech was a
great honor and came with a price tag of $100. He exhausted all prospects to raise the money and
graduate till an old man lent him the money at 6% interest. After graduating he operated a day
school for young ladies and concurrently read law books. He encountered a stroke of good luck
when he was pressed into buying a lottery ticket. Not having the five dollars he gave his IOU. He
won and received $2000, which enabled him to study law full time. He was admitted to the bar in
1799 and commenced practice in Providence. In 1811 he was elected as a representative from
Providence to the General Assembly. In 1817 he was appointed to be the Chief Justice of the
Rhode Island Supreme Court. When a new party came into power the next year he was removed
from his post. In 1825 he was elected to the US Congress and to the 4 succeeding Congresses.
He was also a Professor of Oratory and Belles Letters at Brown University. When school president
Francis Wayland ordered that all professors live in rooms on campus several professors objected.
When he offered to resume his duties without compensation he was told his services were no
longer needed. Ran unsuccessfully for Governor as a Whig. Argued cases before the US Supreme
Court. Died at his estate Watchemoket Farm. (bio by: Matthew Fatale)
