Family Wedding in 1892


Outerbridge Horsey was married to Eliza Lee, one of Mary Digges Lee's relations. The November, 1962 issue of Time magazine mentioned this about one of the descendants: "On his way to Prague as the new U.S. Ambassador to Czechoslovakia was Career Diplomat Outerbridge Horsey, of the Maryland Horseys, whose grandfather was the founder of the "Old Horsey" rye distillery. Said Ambassador Horsey, who previously was No. 2 man in Rome: "I am the sixth Outerbridge Horsey and my unhappy son is the seventh. In fact, the only trouble with any new post is explaining the name to people."
