    • 1853, William Wallace Warden, Pen and Pencil, volume I, S.I, page 761:
      The time was, when every musical young gentleman breathed forth his wishes in dulcet strains to "be carried back to Old Virginia's shore," or related to the history and most wonderful exploits of that good old colored individual, "Uncle Nedward;" but we suppose this superannuated colored person has been superseded by the still more popular "Uncle Tom," of Mrs. Stowe celebrity.
