  "...one of Hon. Robert Wright's best speeches was the one welcoming General LaFayette to Annapolis. The visit of this distinguished French soldier and statesman to America was a matter of great public interest to the citizens of Queen Anne's county, especially to the old soldiers who had fought with him in the Revolutionary war, among whom was ex-Governor Wright, the Hon. Robert Wright, Peregrine Wilmer, Esq., and P. B. Hopper, who were appointed to wait on General LaFayette."
  From: Emory, Mary Bourke. Colonial Families and Their Descendants. Press of the Sun Printing Office. Baltimore. 1900.
  "Judge Hopper, at the time I refer to, lived near Centreville. His home was always open to ministers of his church. Rev. Mr. Stockton was his guest on this particular occasion, a very talented, but a sensational preacher. Mr. Stockton had just preached a very flowery sermon on the resurrection, when "Gabriel's trumpet would sound, and all would arise." Mr. William T. Wright got Henry R. Pratt to join him to play the joke successfully. They procured a loud-sounding, shrill, tin horn, such as was used at camp-meetings to call to preaching." They selected a dark night for their fun. The Judge's house was only a short distance from the public road, and being a narrow, single house, with the blinds raised, these gentlemen could see them when they went to prayers. They gave three toots of their ponderous horn, a little distance down the road. When they halted "opposite" the house, they gave another, and repeated it as far, down the public highway as they could be heard, the sound dying away gradually. They were mounted on fleet steeds and did not apprehend being caught. This was more than the Judge and "Brother" Stockton could stand, being but a few days after the "stirring" sermon delivered in Centreville. The Judge "jumped" from prayers and exclaimed vehemently. "Brother Stockton! Brother Stockton! that's Gabriel's trumpet."
