Documentation from that purchase states that the CDV and flag wereacquired from a direct descendent of Captain Driver. Driver, a Salem, Mass. sea captain, is said to have been given the flag in1831 before embarking on a round the world voyage, and was so impressed by the flag as it was hoisted and unfurled that hecalled it "Old Glory." The flag was used by Driver throughout his career at sea and taken with him when he retired to Nashville,Tennessee. When Gen. William Nelson's wing of the U.S. Army captured Nashville in 1862, Driver loaned it to the army to flyabove the Tennessee State Capitol. After the Civil War, Driver had the flag repaired and, according to Sykes and Flanders, sentthis fragment, and others, to his family in Salem.
