The Bayards descended from a sister of Dutch Director-General <a href="/wiki/Peter_Stuyvesant" title="Peter Stuyvesant">Petrus Stuyvesant</a> and came to Bohemia Manor, Cecil County, Maryland in 1698. Bayard was also of French Huguenot and English ancestry as well.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Upon the premature death of his parents, the younger James went to live with his uncle, Colonel <a href="/wiki/John_Bubenheim_Bayard" class="mw-redirect" title="John Bubenheim Bayard">John Bubenheim Bayard</a>, in Philadelphia. He graduated from <a href="/wiki/Princeton_College" class="mw-redirect" title="Princeton College">Princeton College</a> in 1784, studied law under General Joseph Reed and Jared Ingersoll, was admitted to the Delaware Bar in 1787, and began a practice in Wilmington, Delaware. Bayard married February 11, 1795, Ann or Nancy Bassett, the daughter of wealthy Delaware lawyer and U.S. Senator <a href="/wiki/Richard_Bassett_(Delaware_politician)" title="Richard Bassett (Delaware politician)">Richard Bassett</a>. They had six children, <a href="/wiki/Richard_H._Bayard" title="Richard H. Bayard">Richard</a>, Caroline, <a href="/wiki/James_A._Bayard_Jr." title="James A.

While in the U.S. House, "he was distinguished as an orator and constitutional lawyer and became a leader of the party in the house." He especially distinguished himself as one of the <a href="/wiki/Impeachment_manager" title="Impeachment manager">impeachment managers</a> appointed in 1798 in the <a href="/wiki/Federal_impeachment_in_the_United_States" title="Federal impeachment in the United States">impeachment</a> proceedings against <a href="/wiki/William_Blount" title="William Blount">William Blount</a>, a U.S. Senator from Tennessee.<sup id="cite_ref-CongBio_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CongBio-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Blount was accused of inciting the Creeks and Cherokees to help the British take New Orleans from the Spanish. While the U.S. House impeached him, under Bayard's leadership, the United States Senate dropped the charges in 1799 on the grounds that no further action could be taken beyond his dismissal. This set an important precedent for the future with regard to the limitations on actions which could be taken by U.S. Congress against its members and former members. </p><p>Bayard also played an important part in the <a href="/wiki/U.S._presidential_election,_1800" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. presidential election, 1800">U.S. presidential election of 1800</a>. With the vote tied in the Electoral College, it was a group of Federalists led by Bayard who broke the deadlock by agreeing to allow the election of Thomas Jefferson by the House of Representatives.<sup id="cite_ref-TiH_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TiH-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> When it seemed the Federalists were about to vote for <a href="/wiki/Aaron_Burr" title="Aaron Burr">Aaron Burr</a>, Bayard is believed to have followed the advice of <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Hamilton" title="Alexander Hamilton">Alexander Hamilton</a> and persuaded his Federalist colleagues to abstain from voting. It was also believed he struck a deal with the incoming Jefferson, to refrain from the wholesale removal of Federalists from appointed positions. The young Bayard enlisted Representative <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Smith_(Maryland_politician)" title="Samuel Smith (Maryland politician)">Samuel Smith (Maryland politician)</a> to negotiate with Jefferson on Federalist control of the Philadelphia and Wilmington custom offices.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Jefferson subsequently permitted the Federalist officeholders to retain their posts. </p><p>Just before John Adams left office as U.S. President he used the provisions of the <a href="/wiki/Judiciary_Act_of_1801" class="mw-redirect" title="Judiciary Act of 1801">Judiciary Act of 1801</a> to make many "midnight" judicial appointments. Among those was Bayard's father-in-law, Richard Bassett. Resigning as Governor of Delaware, Bassett accepted an appointment as a federal judge but soon was out of work when Jefferson had the act repealed. Bayard himself declined an appointment as Minister to France offered by President John Adams in 1801. </p><p>So effective was Bayard in opposing Jefferson's administration that an all-out effort was made by the Democratic-Republicans to defeat him in his attempt at a fourth term in 1802. <a href="/wiki/Caesar_Augustus_Rodney" title="Caesar Augustus Rodney">Caesar Augustus Rodney</a>, nephew of the Revolutionary President of Delaware <a href="/wiki/Caesar_Rodney" title="Caesar Rodney">Caesar Rodney</a>, defeated Bayard by 15 votes. However, two years later, in 1804, the result was reversed with Bayard besting Rodney. In the best Delaware tradition, the two remained friends throughout their electoral rivalry. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="U.S._Senate_and_Peace_Commissioner">U.S. Senate and Peace Commissioner</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=James_A._Bayard_(politician,_born_1767)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: U.S. Senate and Peace Commissioner"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Although re-elected to the U.S. House in 1804, Bayard never returned there, because before the term began, on November 13, 1804, he was elected by the Delaware General Assembly as U.S. Senator, filling the vacancy caused by the resignation of William H. Wells. He began a term of his own the following March 1805, was reelected six years later in 1810, and served in the Senate until his resignation on March 3, 1813.<sup id="cite_ref-CongBio_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CongBio-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>By his admission, it mattered little who represented Delaware, given the smallness of the state; if the two senators and one representative happened to be all Federalists, all the better, since the party was in a considerable minority by the decade of the 1800s. Like most of his party, Bayard opposed "Mr. Madison's War" as the War of 1812 was sometimes scornfully called, but like the Democratic-Republicans, he was outraged at the British actions on the high seas and recognized the need for action. As the possibility of war became more likely, he urged caution, thinking of the lack of preparedness of the army and navy and especially of the vulnerability of coastal Delaware. On June 17, 1812, he was one of 13 senators to vote against declaring war on Britain. However, once the war began he and all Delaware Federalists wholeheartedly supported the war effort, avoiding the suspicion of treason earned by Federalists in New England. </p><p> Because of that support, he was the only Federalist appointed as one of the peace commissioners who eventually negotiated the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Ghent" title="Treaty of Ghent">Treaty of Ghent</a>. Resigning his Senate seat, he went to Europe and played a major role in the negotiations that ended the War of 1812 when the treaty was signed in December 1814. <a href="/wiki/John_Quincy_Adams" title="John Quincy Adams">John Quincy Adams</a>, head of the American negotiating team, praised Bayard:</p><blockquote><p>Of the five members of the American mission, the Chevalier [Bayard] has the most perfect control of his temper, the most deliberate coolness; and it is the more meritorious because it is real self-command.

During the trip, he developed an inflamed throat and became critically ill. He lived only five days after his return and died at Wilmington.

In 1842 his remains were removed, along with those of his father-in-law, <a href="/wiki/Richard_Bassett_(Delaware_politician)" title="Richard Bassett (Delaware politician)">Richard Bassett</a>, and reburied in the <a href="/wiki/Wilmington_and_Brandywine_Cemetery" title="Wilmington and Brandywine Cemetery">Wilmington and Brandywine Cemetery</a> in Wilmington.
