"With his dying breath he greeted his beloved wife (Ruth, daughter of the Hon. Nicoll Floyd,
and sister of General William Floyd, one of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence;
she was born in February 1732, and died in the year 1822.), and then calmly directed that the needs
of the American prisoners, then in an almost starving condition, should he supplied by his wife with
money and provisions. With these words of noble self-forgetfulness upon his lips, the spirit of Nathaniel
Woodhull took its flight."
