The manuscript touches upon home, land, sea, religion, school, romance, etc. A couple of early written lines suggests that Marion Home was in New York.: "Be now apprized, my "Theme is Marion", Not placed on any southern sea, Nor washed by any noted silver sea, Not placed on a far south western plain Where mighty rivers all the region drain, Nor on New England's long extended shore, That echoes far the billows ceaseless soar, Not here is placed my "Sweet Marion Home", Upon whose hills in youth I used to roam but in a fairer region nobly great, It shines a bright star of the "Empire State"..."
