SEVENTH GENERATION.

SEVENTH GENERATION.

1. VII. 2. Loiiisa Lee [Thomas 1. VI. 1], probably bom in Salem,
baptized there Dec. 13, 1772, died in Cambridge, Mass.

I\[rs. Watorhouse was tall, with a commanding presence. A long
obituary notice published in the Christian Register of Saturday, Dec. 12,
1863, tells us more of her husband. Dr. Waterhouse, than of herself; but
it speaks of her as being amiable and charitable. She was bm-ied at Mount
Auburn.

In her will she made the following bequests : To Harvard College, the
portraits of her husband and of her kinsman, Dr. Benjamin Colman. To
the Boston Athenreum, the picture of her kinsman, Sir Charles Hobby.
To her kinsman Benjamin Colman Ward, the portraits of his and her great-
gi-andfather and great-grandmother. To the Newport Public Library,
R. I, the painting of the head and bust of her late husband, Benjamin
Waterhouse, in Quaker dress, and the painting of the head of Gilbert Stuart,
both by Stuart. To John Fothergill Waterhouse Ware, Allston's picture
of his uncle, Andrew Waterhouse, when a boy.

1. VII. 2. Benjamin JVaterhoiise, the husband of Louisa Lee, bom
in Newport, R. I., died in Cambridge, Mass. A physician and author.
Residence : Cambridge.

Dr. Waterhouse, having received the groundwork of a good classical
and medical education, was encouraged by his famous kinsman, Dr
Fothergill, to go abroad and further pursue his studies. He arrived in
London in April, 1775, and entered the University of Edinburgh in the
ensuing autumn. The next season, he returned to London, re-entered the
hospitals, and joined the anatomical, surgical, chemical, and medical classes
of the most celebrated lecturers. It was a great advantage to him that he

SEVENTH GEXERATION. 289

lived with so eminent a man as Dr. Fothergill, whose house was the resort
of the most distinguished naturalists and pliysicians. Dr. Waterhouse did
not confine his attention strictly to medical lectures, but was deeply inter-
ested in discourses on experimental philosophy, mineralogy, and botany.
After having been three years in Great Britain, he was sent by Dr. Fother-
gill to the University of Leyden. Here he spent four academical years,
travelling during the vacations. He took his degree in April, 1780, and
remained one session longer at Leyden, attending lectures not immediately
connected with medicine. After leaving Leyden, he spent some time in
travelling, and made a jom-ney to the West India Islands. He then re-
turned to his native country, arriving there in June, 1782.

Immediately after his arrival. Harvard University offered him the
position of Professor of the Theory and Practice of Physic, which he
accepted.

In 1786, the College of Rhode Island bestowed upon him the title of
Professor of Natm-al History.

In 1788, the Corporation of Harvard College requested him to give,
annually, a course of lectures on Natural History, — a subject in which
instruction had not previously been given. Dr. Waterhouse had to exert
all his energies to excite a taste for this branch of science, and it was seven
years before the number of students in that department exceeded a dozen.
It should be remembered that Dr. Waterhouse worked alone and without
the countenance of any congenial spirit on this side of the Atlantic. In
the meantime he undertook, in co-operation with Dr. Lettsom, to make a
collection of minerals. The splendid cabinet at Cambridge was the result
of his efforts in this department.

Dr. Waterhouse made himself famous by introducing vaccination into
this country. He has been called the Jenner of xVmerica. His publica-
tions on vaccination have been recognized in England as standard works.
His high reputation at Cambridge was promptly achieved by his lectures
on Natural History, wliich secured for him the honor of being the
founder of the study of Natural History and Botany in Harvard Univer-
sity. He wrote much, and was a member of numerous scientific bodies in
the United States and in Europe.

290 THE PICKERING GENE.ILOGY.

He married bis fii'st wile, Elizabeth Oliver, in June, 1788. Their son,

John Fotheegiu. Waterhouse, M. D., the physician, naturalist, and orator, was

born Aug. 1, 1791, and died at Charleston,
S. C, May 18, 1817.'

Dr. Benjamin Waterhouse was a son of Timothy and Hannali (Proud)
Waterhouse. His ancestry includes the following families: Waterhouse,
Fernald, Moses, Proud, Fothergill. See -V-vcestey Tables Y-

I. Vn. 3. George Gardner Lee [Thomas 1. YI. 1], probably bom
in Salem, baptized there Dec. 11, 1774, died in Boston. A merchant.
Eesideuce: Boston.

Mr. Lee, H. C. 1792, was commissioned a lieutenant in the United
States Navy on Dec. 2, 1799. He served on board the frigate Essex as
third heutenant. He left the serv-ice March 6, 1805, but contmued to go
to sea for one or two voyages more. In 1812, and for several years after-
ward, he was colonel of the Cadets.

He lived for a time in Salem ; but he afterwards removed to Boston,
and went into business there as a merchant. He often represented the
town in the General Court, and had just been re-elected, when, early one
morning, he was found dead in his bed.

Mr. Lee was a Tellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
He possessed a great deal of mechanical ingenuity.^ The followung is an
extract from his obituary which was printed in the Colimabian Centinel of
Wednesday, May 15, 1816.

" He was a citizen who ha3 sustained numerous offices with honor to himself and
usefulness to the community. He attended Divine service on Sunday and was a
corpse on Monday morning."

His funeral sermon was preached by Dr. Channing, who held Mr. Lee
in high esteem.

Lee, born in Newport, R. I.,' died in Cambridge, Mass. A merchant.
Residence : Cambridge.

In early life Captain Carpenter moved to Salem, and followed the
sea for the greater part of thirty years. As he was a tory, he left Salem,
at the beginning of the Revohition, and went to England, where he and
his wife lived at Brampton Court. He applied, unsuccessfully, to the
British Government for a pension. On the failure of his appHcation, he
returned to Salem, and engaged in privateering against the British. He
joined the crew of the Oliver Cromwell, Captain Benjamin Cole, comman-
der, and afterwards commanded the first cartel sent to England with
captured British officers. After the Revolution, he devoted himself to
commercial pursuits, and was one of the pioneers of the East India trade.
He is said to have been the first to cai-iy the stars and stripes around the
Cape of Good Hope after the peace of 1783, and to have exhibited them as
a cmiosity at St. Helena. He was one of the two or tliree sea-captains who
founded the Museum of the East India Marine Society. He was an original
member, when the Museum was founded in 1799 ; a member of the
committee of observation from 1799 to 1806 ; and president in 1806, 1808,
1811, and 1812.2

The portrait of him, from which the accompanpng heliotype was taken,
is now in the possession of the East India ]\larine Society in Salem. It
was bequeathed to this society by his widow, Deborah. A portrait of his
first wife, a companion picture to his own portrait, and evidently painted by
the same artist, is now in the possession of Francis H. Lee [1. IX. 9], of
Salem.

* The inscription attached to his portrait states that he was born in Medford, while
his obituary says in Xewport, K. I.

1. VII. 6. Joseph Lee [Joseph 1-2. VI. 2], born in Beverly, Mass.,
died in Boston. A merchant. Itesidence : Boston.

Joseph Lee was a student at Phillips Academy, Andover, in 1779. In
his early life Mr. Lee was interested, with his brother Henry Lee, in
the East India trade. He had a remarkable talent for naval architecture,
as a large fleet of vessels designed by him testified. He retired from busi-
ness at an early age, and led a nomadic life as a bachelor. He was widely
known as a humorous, and somewhat eccentric man, and many anecdotes
are told illustrative of his peculiarities. He was very social, and it is said
of him that he could do more talking and less work than any other man.
A farm which he ovmed at Chestnut Hill is now divided up among the
descendants of his brothers.

The following description of Joseph Lee and his brothers is taken from
a Memorial of John Clarke Lee [1. VIII. 11] : —

" All, sons and daughters, inherited their father's masculine strength of mind and
simplicity of heart ; only two, Mr. Joseph and Capt. George Lee, his talent for naval
architecture which they exercised. Commodore Downes informed the writer that in
the war of 1812 the ' Lee model ' was the favorite model in the Navy. None of them
had his precision and love of order, and ability to regulate the details of family and
business affairs for which he was eminent ; all shared his love of nature and skill in
gardening, and like their father, the sons were sagacious enterprising merchants.

SEVENTH GENERATION. 295

"Father and sons shunned display, declined public office, findinf^ resources in their
books, their gardens and the constant society of a large circle of family and
friends.

" But while unwilling to take office, or te appear in public, they were interested in
all political movements, awake to all public claims to which they responded liberally.

" The children were of a more mercurial temperament than their father, had
remarkable powers of conversation, full of wit and humor and a corresponding liability
to depression ; their perceptive faculties were keen, they were alive to all the
phenomena of nature, to all the qualities good and bad of their fellowmen, and their
frank utterances were not alway relished.

" President Kirkland, who for a time kept bachelors' hall with three of the Lee
brothers, used to say ' that the Lee gentlemen were certainly hypocrites, for they took
great pains to conceal their good qualities,' and this habit, due partly to shyness,
partly to dread of effusiveness, conduced to a misunderstanding of their character
beneath the assumed hardness or bantering." ^

The heliotype of Joseph Lee is from the portrait painted about the year
1838, by John Pope. It is novv in the possession of his niece, Mrs. Samuel
T. Morse, of Boston.

Mr. Lee, H. C. 1791, was a student at Phillips Academy, Andover, in
1779. He was a merchant of sagacity, probity, and punctuality, highly
esteemed as a man and highly respected as a merchant. He stood well
among his contemporaries, and counted among his friends the most respect-
able men in the community. In the winter of 1805-6, he went to the Island
of Barbados for his health, and died there.'

He left a handsome estate. His house was in what was then called
Tremont Place, opposite King's Chapel, Boston.

brothers. The larger part of his life, however, he spent on shore in great
retirement, giving himself up to shooting, fishing, and the care of his
garden. He was a large and powerful man, very bashful, of great
simplicity of character, a fmgal liver and a bountiful giver.^ See the
description of the Lee family, on pages 294-295.

highest honors of his class, stiidied law under Theophilus Parsons, and was
admitted to practice in the County of Essex in 1796. He rapidly rose to
eminence in his profession. In 1803, he removed to Boston, where
he attained the highest rank at the bar, although such men as James

Otis, Samuel Dexter, and "William Sullivan were his associates and competi-
tors. He went into j^ai-tnersliip with the lion. Samuel Hubbard, and
acquired probably the most lucrative practice that had ever been known in
Massachusetts. In 1813, Governor Strong appointed him Judge of the
Supreme Court. He discharged the duties of his office with eminent
fidelity until 1823, when he resigned on account of ill health, and went to
Europe.

In 1820, he was a member of the convention for revising the
constitution of the State. In 1832, Governor Lincoln appointed three
commissioners to re%-ise the General Statutes of Massachusetts. The chief
place on this board was given to Judge Jackson. Besides filling- a number
of other positions of trust, the judge was a member of the Corporation of
Harvard College, and represented Boston in the General Court, in 1808,
1809, and 1812. His learning and legal capacity stand recorded in his
reported judgments and in his text-book upon a difficult and profound
branch of the Law.^ By the united testimony of all who remember him
upon the Bench, he possessed every quality of a great judge.^

Dec. 31, 1809, Charles Jackson married his second wife, Frances Cabot,
who was born Jan. 9, 1780, and died Feb. 15, 1868. She was a daughter

graduating. In 1SG6, however, he received a degree.

Following his tastes, which were in the line of mercantile pursuits, he
went into the counting-room of AVilliam Gray, the noted merchant, and, in
the course of time, engaged in business on his own account. Having
acquired a moderate fortune, while he was still a young man, he retired,
and devoted the remainder of his life to books, friends, and the embellish-
ment of his country-seat at Brookline, which he made a model of landscape
gardening.^ He passed a portion of each year at his town house in Boston,
and used his wealth to promote the interests of many worthy objects.

In 1865, he presented to the city of Boston the granite statue of Alex-
ander Hamilton, by Dr. Rimmer, which stands on Commonwealth Avenue.
He also gave to the city a monument in the form of a fountain, which stands
in the Public Gai'den. This monument is inscribed as follows : —

"THE GIFT OF THOMAS LEE

Mr. Lee was simple, generous, courteous, and independent, with a mind
so vigorous that age seemed hardly to weaken it, and with a strength of
integrity which no modern fallacies of political or business expediency
could deceive. He combined, to an unusual degree, marked individuality of
opinion and unostentatious public spirit. His great interest in politics was
shown by his large and frequent contnbutions to his party. He gave
thirty-five thousand dollars to Harvard College, thirty thousand dollars
to the city of Boston for statues, and to his servants forty-three thousand
five hundred dollars. His nephews and nieces received the bulk of his
estate.^

2. VII. 14. Henry Lee [Joseph 1-2. VI. 2], born in Beverly, Mass.,

Henry Lee was educated at Phillips Academy, Andover. He became
a Boston merchant, and carried on an extensive trade with Calcutta, Madi-as,
and Bombay. The goods which he received from these places he ex-
ported to almost every considerable European port, and to the chief cities
of the United States. From 1812 to 1815, he was in Calcutta, where he
acquired the friendship of the great Enghsh houses in that city ; and such
was their trust in him that, before the Barings furnished American merchants
with letters of credit in India, all the young and some of the old and estab-
lished merchants depended on a letter from iVIi-. Lee to substantiate their
pecuniary responsibility.

But it is as a collector and writer of commercial statistics, and as a zealous
student of political economy, that Henry Lee is best known. His writings
on these subjects were highly esteemed in England, where he was recognized
as an authority by such economists as McCuUock, Tooke, and Villiers. He

porters of the so-called American system. He was a frequent contributor
to the " Free Trade Advocate," of Philadelphia, and became widely known
through his "■ Boston Report " as one of a " Committee of citizens of Boston
and vicinity opposed to a further increase of duties on importations." The
" Boston Report'' was published in Boston in 1827. It passed through four
editions, and is considered one of the most masterly vindications of the
pjinciples of free trade that has ever appeared in print. It was highly
praised in the ro\"iews at the time of its appearance.

At the "Free Trade Convention," in 1831, Henry Lee was associated
with Alljort Giilla'.iu in preparing the memorial and statistical exposition of
the etlects of the tariff. In 1&32, he was nominated for Vice-President of
the United States by South Carolina, not because he had any sympathy
w^ith mdlification, but as an expression of gratitude for his opposition to the
high tariff. He was intensely interested in politics, and a commentator on
all proposed measures ; but his extreme shyness prevented him from assum-
ing any public position. His simplicity, his integrity, his cordiality, his
eloquence in conversation, and his general information, contributed to place
him in friendly relations with the whole community, and to win the respect
and affection of all.^

On June 2, 1794, he was commissioned captain of the First United States
Artillerists and Engineers, and was honorably discharged June 1, 1802.
This commission is still in the possession of his descendants. They say that
it is dated Dec. 2G, 1704, and signed by Washington. He at one time was
stationed at Salem where he superintended the building of Fort Pickering,
of which he was afterwards commandant. In 1812, he was the first com-
mandant of Fort Jay on Governor's Island, N. Y. His granddaughter,
Mrs. Ilanford Lyon, of Bridgeport, Conn., writes : " We have the com-
mission of Capt. Frederick Frye, appointing him to the command of
Governor's Island, signed by Col. Rochefontaine, 1798." During the
War of 1812, he was stationed at West Point. He was also at Fort
Mifflin in Pennsylvania, at Sullivan's Island, North Carolina, and at
Fort Mackensie. He endured great hardships in some of these positions.
After spending some time in travelling, he settled down at Andover in the
old homestead in which he was bora. Here he became a magistrate and
a prominent citizen. After his wife's death, the old homestead was sold out
of the family, and he removed to Montgomery, N. Y. A picture of the
house is on page 132 of the History of Andover. It is a very old house,
and the north end of it is siipposed to have been the original house built
by James Frye, a son of John Frye, the original settler.^

Frederick Frye was a son of Colonel James and Sarah (Cheever) Frye.^

SEVENTH GENEEATION. 309

Mr. Dabney k-ft liis home when he was a young man atid went to
Pennsylvania, where he spent a year or more in travelling through the State,
his headquarters being at Pittsburg. During one winter he taught school
at Somerset, boarding at the house of a former named Keifer, whose
daughter Mary he afterwards married. Sometime before 1797, lie started
with a man from Pittsburg to settle in Ohio. On their arrival, they selected
a large tract of land suitable for town lots, with the intention of laying out
a town. Their plan was that Mr. Dabney should keep the store, and his
partner the hotel ; but before they had carried out their plans the partner
died, and Youngstown was laid out by a Mr. Young, on adjoining land. As
the widow of his jnirtner did not wish to retain her interest in the land, Mr.
Dabney was left with a large tract of laud on his hands, without the slightest
knowledge of farming. He, however, concluded to settle there, and went
back to Pennsylvania, got married, and returned to Ohio, finally settling
on his land in 1797.

The Yoimgstown Daily Register, of June 18, 1881, contains an account
of this property and of tlie house built on it. The agreement to build the
house was made Feb. 10, 1S03, and may be interesting as showing the
character of the houses of that period.

The house was to be 28x24 feet upon the ground, two stories high, the
lower one to be nine feet and the upper one eight feet. It was to be
built of logs hewn on four sides, and made square, to be laid within three
inches of each other. "Wlien raised, all of the logs put up to be ten inches
on the face at the smallest end. There were to be nine sleepers of a suitable
size, and eleven joists between the two stories, to be hewn nine inches by four
and a half, and to be let in on the inside of the fair plates. There were to
be eleven pairs of rafters in the roof, and as many joists for them to rest
upon. The pitch of the roof was to be as Mr. Dabney might direct, and the
house was to be covered with rough boards laid close, and upon them good
chestnut joint shingles were to be well nailed on. The gable ends were to
be well clapboarded so as to keep out storms. This pioneer log-house was
for more than half a century a prominent landmark on the north side of the
"Warren Road, and in the western part of what is now the city of Youngs-
town. Mr. Dabney owned large tracts of land on both sides of tlie road to

310 THE PICKERING GENEALOGY.

"Warren, and hh farm extended west to near the Eagle Furnaee, and sonth
to the Mahoning' River.

Physically, Mr. Dabney was weak, but mentally he was perhaps stronger
than any one else in the settlement. He was considered by his neighbors as
a very wise and just man. Matters in dispute were usually referred to him,
and his decisions generally gave satisfaction. He took a great interest in
the early training- and education of his children. At the time of his death,
he was preparing to return to the East on a visit to his mother, with his
eldest daughter, whom he intended to leave there to fmish her education. He
died of quick consumption, after an illness of but six weeks.

Mrs. Gardner was a woman of slight build, but she was strong and
healthy. She had many difficulties to contend with incident to a new
settlement ; but she kept her children together, and gave them the best
advantages that Youngstown afforded. They grew to be men and women '
of character.

She was the daughter of a Pennsylvania farmer with whom her husband
boarded while he was teaching school in Somerset of that State.'

In his youth Captain Bndge; wished to study medicine : but being
opposed by his steptathtr. he left home at an early aye and went to sea.
As captain of various mercliant ships, he visited nearly all the ports of
Europe, Africa, and the East Indies. He Avas a member of the East India
Society, and contributed largely to the Salem ^luscum. Captain Bridges
was an excellent example of the best type of shipmasters. Ilis frame was
muscular ; and he was such a noble man, morally and intellectually, that
he won the esteem of all who sailed under him. He was also a person
of artistic tastes, and some delicate bits of carving which he did in his
leisure hours at sea are still in the possession of his descendants.

In 1838, through the failure of a firm to whom he had intrusted
funds, Captain Bridges lost his money and the money of his half-sister,
Elizabeth Stevens, which had been intrusted to him. In consequence
of this loss, he was obliged to sell " "Wire Hill " at Andover, which
was a valuable portion of the estate he had iidierited from his grand-
father. This he did to restore to his half-sister the money he had
invested for her.^

Worcester Count}' Mutual Insurance Company. From the time of his
taking up his permanent abode in Worcester, he was for the remainder of
his life actively interested in its local affairs. He was a member of the first
board of overseers of schools in 1823, and one of the selectmen of Worces-
ter from 1827 to 1831, and for most of the time from 1838 to 1849, when
the town was chartered as a city. Pie was an assessor of taxes for the town
most of the time from 1829 to 1848, and his judgment as to the value of
real estate was considered excellent. He represented the town in the
General Court in 1829.

Mr. Paine early manifested an interest in horticulture, and his garden
on Lincoln Street was famous for its fruit and flowers. He was an active
and influential member of the Worcester County Horticultural Society for
many years, and during most of this time he was the treasurer. The
Horticultural Society fully appreciated his services, and showed its regard
by having his portrait painted for the Society Library. Mr. Paine was
also a valuable member of the American Antiquarian Society, contribut-
ing largely to its library, and serving as one of its councillors. He was
also treasurer of the Worcester County Athenaeum. He was a man of
literary tastes, and spent much of his time in reading. He had the faculty
of mastering the contents of a book by skinmiing through its pages, and up
to the time of his death kept himself thoroughly informed in contemporary
literature. He had a most retentive memory, and was an authority in dates
and historical events. At the time of his death his library was considered
one of the largest private collections in the State. It numbered several
thousand volumes, representing nearly every department of literature.
When but fourteen years old he was employed to correct the proof-sheets
of the first Greek Testament published in North America, which was issued
from the press by Isaiah Thomas.

Mr. Paine labored with untiring zeal to promote the best interests of
Worcester, and but very few of its citizens can be compared to him in the
solid service he performed. In his personal character he was honorable, and
scrupulously honest in his dealings.^

The baptism of Mrs. Paine was performed by the Rev. Dr. Jeremy
Belknap, pastor of the Federal Street Church, Boston, who wrote Belknap's
History of New Hampshire. Dr. Belknap died June 16, 1798, and it is
thought to be an interesting and somewhat remarkable fact that a person
who had lived into the nineties of tlie nineteenth century should have been
baptized by liim.

Mrs. Paine died at the old homestead on the summit of Lincoln Street
Hill, where she had lived for seventy years. She was married in Boston,
it being the first marriage ceremony performed there after it became a city.

On his marriage, in 1842, he gave up going to sea, and settled on

was laid out in 1647, by his ancestor, James Green, in what was then called
Mystic Fields. The house standing on the estate in 1842 was built early

was a representative in the General Court in l.'^41. 1^43, 1846, 1853, and
1854. In 1846, when Canibridg-e was made a city, 3Ir. Green was chosen
the first mayor. He was re-elected to that oOIce in 1S47, also in 1853,
18G0, and 1861. Ilis manag-enicut of the city all'airs was noted for its
economy and general honesty. During his public life in Cambridge he
devoted his whole time to the interests of the city, and personally superin-
tended each dei)artment, even gv.ing- so far as to exaniine and audit all the
accounts, scrutinizinj^ each bill and item of expenditure with a minute
attention, his unerring- eye detecting- at once all errors and overcharges.
In all his dealings, public and private, during a long and eminently useful
life, he maintained a character noted for its uncompromising honesty ; and
to his wise counsels, practical sense, and thorough judgment, the citizens ot
Cambridge were largely indebted, not only during the early days of the
municipality, but up to the time when he relinquished all active business
pursuits.

For many years ]\Ir. Green -n'rote much and ably upon a vnriety of topics.
He was a frequent contributor to our standard reviews. In 1849, he deliv-
ered the oration on the celebration of the two hundredth anniversary ot
the town of Maiden. His powers of oratory were of no mean order, and
the address which he then delivered gave a broad and general view of the
subject, and its value did not pass away with the occasion. He had given
much attention to the records and traditions of the town, and had hoped to
write its history. He was much interested in antiquarian pursuits, and
prepared and presented to the Xew England Historic-Genealogical Society,
of which he was a member, a large manuscript volume containing the records
and memorials of his famil-v from his ancestor James Green, do-miward.

By nature, Mr. Green was positive, botli in his thoughts and his dealings
with the world. His mind and conscience demanded of him that his every
act and thought should be just and right to the extremest possilde point;
hence, he demanded of all men that they too should be just and honest in
the smallest detail. He had a fine scorn of shams, aiul an uncompromising
hostility to that which was WTong. When interested in conversation, he

Dr. Green, 11. C. 1817, received his preparatory training for college at
the academy of Dr. Homans, in Jledford, ilass. During his college course
he paid particular attention to tlieological studies, with the design of enter-
ing the ministry, but afterwards abandoned the idea. x\fter graduating, he
was for one year the principal of the Latin School at Castine, Me. He then
studied medicine with Dr. Edward Reynolds, of Boston. Having attended
the lectures at the Harvard Medical School, he received his degree of M. D.
from that institution in 1822, and at once settled as a physician in the town
of East Chelmsford, which afterwards became Lowell. Here he continued
to live for the remainder of his long life, with the exception of a visit to
Europe in 1847. He grew up with the place, and was intimately connected
with many of its most important public and social interests. For more than
fifty years he was vice-president of the Lowell Institution for Savings ; and
he was afterwards its president. For fifteen years he was a member of the
school-committee, and for nine years was its chairman, and wrote its reports.
He was president of the Lowell Bank, and also of the Old Residents Associa-
tion, in which he took a deep interest. He served the city as alderman and
as health commissioner. He was president of the Middlesex District ^ledical
Society, was made a councillor of the Massachusetts Medical Society in 1841,
and was appointed its orator in 1847. He was a contributor to the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal, and to the American Journal of Medical
Science. For many years he was senior warden of St. Anne's Episcopal
Church, Lowell.

Dr. Green's name is associated with the name of Colburn and Edson in
the early struggle for educational reform, which they maintained with per-
sistency against a fierce opposition, and which laid the foundation of the
present public-school system of Lowell. In 1870, he delivered the address
at the dedication of the Green School in Lowell, which was named in his
honor.

Dr. Green was a man of integrity, of intelligence, and of persevering
industry, and always held a high position as a gentleman, citizen, and
physician. He performed his professional labors almost uninterruptedly,

17. VII. lOo. Williatn Ward, the husband of Martha Proctor, prob-
ably born in Salem, died in Medford, Mass. A banker. Residence:
Me'dford.i

The life of "William Ward covered an eventful period of our history.
Fie saw the beginning and the ending of both the Revolution, and the
War of 1812. An autobiograpliical sketch of his exploits during the
Revolutionary War has been preserved, and is now in the possession of
his great-grandson, Thomas AYren Ward, of New York. It is from this
paper chat the following abstract is made.

When William Ward was but six years old, his father, who was called
the " peace and good will of the family," died. The family was a numer-
ous one, and hardly ten dollars was spent on William's education.

As a boy, he early showed an adventurous spirit, and, in 1775, he ran
away to the Battle of Lexington, where he saw the flash of guns. After
the Battle of Bunker Hill, he found his way into the camp, but he soon
came home. Finally, in 177C, with the spirit of adventure still unsubdued,
he shipped on board of a vessel bound for France to get government stores ;
and from this time forth he ever depended upon himself. On returning
home from this voyage, he served on board several privateers. He was
with Captain Jonathan Ilaradcn [9. VI. ^i?'], on a cruise in a vessel belonging
to the State of Massachusetts ; then he sailed with Captain Sanmel Ingersoll
in the Brig Monmouth, and took several prizes. He again enlisted in the
" Harlequin," Captain Dennis, commander, taking several more prizes.
The next cruise he made was in the " Lion," Captain Carnes, commander.
They took but one prize, and were wrecked in trying to escape. Finally,
he joined with thirty-nine other men and bought a vessel called the
" Modesty." She started on a cruise, but was captured by an English
man-of-war. The prisoners thus taken \verc exchanged in three weeks.

After making a voyage to Hispaniola he embarked again in privateer-
ing. This time he went in tlie " Harlequin," Captain Cleves, commander.
The vessel was captured, and the prisoners were taken to Quebec, where

* The date of his death is given as May 9, 1S27, in Hssex Institute Historical
Collections, Vol. V. p. 212, and by other authorities ; while the same work, Vol. III. p. 175,

they were put aboard a transport and taken to England. lie was im-
prisoned at Gosport for a year, and during that time was very ill. He
was, however, much assisted by a philanthropic Dr. Wren, who helped
prisoners. He appears to have become much attached to Dr. Wren, and
having been asked by him to name a son hi his honor, he did so. Hence the
name of Thomas Wren Ward. Much of his time in prison was spent by him
in study. Finally, he was exchanged, but found that his friend Edmunds, to
whom he had intrusted his money, in a venture, had been captured, and
the money lost. He went to Grenada, and was again captured and taken
to Bernuida. At that time Colonel William Browne, formerly of Salem,
was governor of Bermuda. He treated young Ward kindly, and induced
him to enter the " flag service." ^

At the close of the war he was twenty-two years old, and penniless.
He obtained command of a vessel, went to England, where he found that
his friend Dr. Wren had died. He continued in command of vessels, making
many voyages to the West Indies, principally to Mauritius. He also sailed
to India, and his last voyage was to China.

Captain Ward moved from Salem to Medford, ^lass. He became presi-
dent of the State Bank in Boston. His second wife was Joanna Chipman.
They were raarned Nov. 14, 1790. She was baptized July 5, 1761, and
was a daughter of John Chipman, Esq., barrister-at-law.^ Her sister Eliza-
beth man-ied the Hon. William Gray, and her brother, the Hon. Ward
Chipman (H. C. 1770), became a loyalist, and went to New Brunswick,
where he became distinguished. By his second wife, Joanna, William
Ward had the following children : —

Lucy Ajsn Ward, baptized in Salem April 9, 1797, and died in Danvers, jVfass.,
June 28, IS.oS. She married, in Boston, Charles Lawrence
(H. C. ISlo), born in Salem, Oct. 7, 1795, and died in Danvers,

» Colonel William Browne (H. C. l"")-".) was colonel of the Essex Regiment and a
judge of the Supreme Court. He felt it his duty to adhere to tlie government even at the
expense of his great landed estate, all of which was confiscated. He was governor of
Bermuda from 17S1 to 1790. His son William was an oificer in the British Army. See
Journal and Letters of the late Samuel Curwen, by George A. Ward, pp. 500-501.

An obituary notice of Captain Ward of some length appeared in the
Columbian Centinel of ifay 12, 1S27, which says: —

" To great integrity, disinterestedness and untiring zeal for the moral and
religious improvement of society he united that benevolence, candor, and forbear-
ance so necessary to the happiness of social intercourse. Property he considered
as a talent confided to his care for use, and sparing only on himself, he answered
liberally all the demands of an enlightened sense of pu))lic and private duty."

Salem.

Dr. Treadwell, II. C. ITSS, studied medicine \^ith Dr. Edward A.
Holyoke. For two or tlu-ee years he practised in Marblchead, and then
he moved to Salein, wlicre he continued to practise his profession until his
death, attaining- considerable celebrity.

He was pre-eminent in the science and erudition of his profession,
thoroughly read in the ethical and mental philosophy of the ancients, as
well as of the moderns, and particularly learned in all branches of knowl-
edge connected with philology and the criticism of the Old and New
Testament.

Dr. Treadwell was a man of strong individuality and earnestness of char-
acter. His frank and forcible remarks as he moved about among the fami-
lies of his extensive practice were both suggestive and stimulating. His
uncommon medical skill and his remarkable tenderness and attention to his
patients will occasion his memory to be cherished long and affectionately.^

The following interesting account of Dr. Treadwell gives a very good
picture of the peculiarities of his character : " —

" The eminent physician, Dr. Treadwell, wouhl have a crowd at his heels if he
should reappear in that high-crowned hat, suit of black, knee-breeches and square-
toed shoes, -worn as he plodded from house to bouse on his daily round of visits.
Nature endowed liiui with oddity ; a kind and clear head kept tlie display of it within
bounds ; his quick perception and dry humor made him an amusing friend in his
professional capacity, whenever he foiuid a patient who could appreciate these quali-
ties, and he enjoyed serious discourse with any one interested in matters -worth talking
about. He hid deep and tender feelincrs under the crusty manner in which he some-
times, not always, indulged ; he would growl like a bear at anything that did not
please him, and shed tears of sorrow over the little cliildron who, in his homely
plirase, slipped through his fingers. He has slammed the door in the face of the
tailor sent bj a bereaved family to take his measure for a mourning suit, with a

Dr. Trcadwell was a son of the Hon. and Eev. Jolni and Meliitable

Jonathan Goodhue was sent abroad as a supercargo.

In November, 1S07, he removed to New York City. On his arrival he

Europe, the East Indies, Mexico, and South America.

In 180'), he formed his first partnership, which was with Mr. Swett, under
the style of Goodhue & Swett. He afterwards formed a partnership with
Pelatiah Porit, under the name of Goodhue & Co., for the pm-pose of doing
a general commission and commercial business. Their place of business
was at No. 04 South Street. The growth of the house of Goodhue & Co.
was slow but sure. Clerks of the firm who went out to distant parts of the
world and formed coraraercial houses would first open a con-espondence
with the firm of Goodhue & Co. As the firm did a strictly commission
business, feting as .'igents for commercial firms in all parts of the world, it
ran no risks. " It never deviated from its course, never speculated, and
consequently stood firm as the rock of Gibraltar." After the death of Mr.
Goodhue, the business was continued by his son.

The public demonstration of gi-ief on the occasion of Mr. Goodhue's
death was what might liave been expected from the feeling of soitow which
pervaded the whole community. The shipping in New York harbor dis-
played their colors at half-mast, and at a special meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce and of merchants appropriate resolutions were adopted. Mr.
Goodhue was a man of extensive reading, a Federalist in politics, an
advocate of free-trade, and was liberal in his religious views. He was a
very benevolent man, and of unspotted integrity. He was fond of children,
and retained the playfulness and simplicity of a boy. The following
account of his funeral is taken from " Tact, Push, and Principle," by ^yilliam
M. Thayer : —

" Wlien Jonathan Goodhue died the din of traffic was hushed in the streets, com-
merce felt the loss keenly, and merchants and artisans crowded around his bier at the
funeral. The ^Ma^yor and other officials were there. Jlcrchant-princes were there.
The poor and unfortunate were there too. None were so high and none so lowly as
not to do him reverence. His character drew them there. The speaker said on that
occasion, ' It is the recognized worth of private character which has extorted this
homage. It is the man himself — the pure, the high-uiinded, righteous man who
adorned our nature, who dignified the mercantile profession, who was superior to his
station, his riches, his exposures, and made the common virtues more respected and
venerated than shining talents or public honors, who vindicated the dignity of common

recognize something inviohilile and awful even in tlio piirate conscience, and tlms
gave sanctity and value to our commuii humanity. This was the power, this the
attraction, tins the value of Jonatiiun Goodhue's life. He has made men believe in
virtue. He has made them honor character more than station or wealth. He has
illustrated the possiljle purity, disinterestedness, and elevation of a mercantile life.
He has shown that a rich man can enter the kingdom of heaven. He stands up by
acclamaiiun as the model Cliristian merchant.'"

Jlr. Goodhue took considerable interest in his family history, and wrote
out an account of his ancestors from the first settlement of the country to
his own time. This account abouTids in personal reminiscences of his own
parents and children. It was intended for private use only, and is now in
the possession of the widow of his son, Charles Clarkson Goodhue, of New
York. Mrs. Goodhue also has a portrait of Jonathan Goodhue, painted by
Waldo about the year 1817. A heliotype of it is here given. There is also
a painting of him at the Essex Institute in Salem. After his death, a marble
bust of him was presented by the merchants of New York to the New York
Chamber of Commerce.^

Son. In 1800, he was in the ship-chandlery business, at number 56 State

State of I\lHine, acting as agent for his father's lands in that State. At a
later period, from 1810 to 1812, the business connected with these lands

at Camden, Maine, removing there with his family. From 1812 to 1814, he
was Secretary of the Board of War of Massachusetts. In June, 1816, he was
appointed Clerk of the Municipal Court. He held this position till 1830,

acting as the agent for prosecuting the claims of Massachusetts against the
national government for the State ex[)enses incurred during the War of 1812.
His family during this visit were the recipients of much social attention,
and his five daughters attracted a great deal of notice by their beauty.

In 1828, he was chosen into the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati,
to succeed his father, but omitted to qualify himself by making the usual
declarations. He was always much interested in military affairs. In 1791,
he was appointed ensign of the Second Regiment of the United States Army,
but declined the appointment. lie commanded the Independent Corps of
Cadets, with the rank of major, and Avas an aide-de-camp of Governor
Brooks, of Governor Strong, and of two other governors.

from after leaving New York.

He was in possession of several interesting family miniatures and poi--
traits. Among them was a fine Stuart of his grandfather, Colonel Thomas
Dawes. The miniatures he took South with him, and left them with his son
Constantius. He also had a Family Bible which bears the imprint of Boston,
1824. It is now in the possession of his great-grandson, Hamilton McKee
Peirce, of New Orleans. It contains numerous records in his own hand-
writing of the Peirces, Hardys, Cordises, and Pobinsons, with accounts of
weddings and noteworthy events, etc. The Bible is now much worn, and
many of its leaves missing, but those containing the records are all intact.

The heliotype of Major Peirce was taken from a water-color portrait,
painted about the year 1800. It is in the possession of his great-grandson,
Hamilton McKee Peirce, of New Orleans. There is a fine silhouette of him
taken later in life by Doyle, which is now owned by his granddaughter, Mrs.
Harrison Ellery.^

very beautiful women. Mrs. Pierce was about five and a half feet in
height ; her complexion was fair ; and she had blue eyes and light brown
hair. A fine silhouette of her, by Doyle, is in the possession of her grand-
daughter, Mrs. Hamson Ellery. A beautiful miniature of her was burned
at her grandson's residence, in Baton Rouge, La., during the late civil war.

Mrs. Peirce was a daughter of Joseph and Rebecca (Russell) Cordis, of
Charlestown. Belecca liussell Lowdl [53. VI. lOl] was her second cousin.
The father of Mrs. Peirce was a mercliant, and a prominent citizen of
Charlestown, and afterwards of Reading, ^Mass. He was a justice of the
peace, justice of the Court of Sessions, moderator of the town-meetings, and
filled a number of other offices. He was a man of dignified presence, of
intelligence, and of judgment, and made an excellent presiding officer.-

The following obituary of Mr. "Ward is taken from the Salem Register
of April 28, 1842 : —

"Mr. Ward, at the time of his death, was a member of the Common Council, it
being the second year of Iiis election to that board. Ho was also a representative
from this city in the Legislature of 1839, and in the discharge of the duties of both
of these offices, he was remarkable for his punctuality and diligence. He was the
representative, of whom it was related, that being asked [upon making up the pay
roll] how much he had been absent, he replied with characteristic promptness ' not
a day, not an hour, not a minute.' Previous to his being sent as a representative, it
is believed that he never passed a night away from Salem ; and for upwards of thirty-
six years he worked in the same shop, and most of the time with the same employers.
In his youth, and for many years afterwards, he was subject to fits ; but at the time
of the great explosion of rockets on Salem Common on the evening of the 4th of Julv,
1823, when so many were dreadfully injured, Mr. Ward was severely wounded in
the thigh, and had never had a recurrence of his former attacks since that period.

" Mr. W. has ever been considered a very worthy man and a good citizen. As a
politician he was an ardent, unwavering, and active Whig. Fond of reading and
possessed of a memory remarkably retentive and accurate, he was particularly well
versed in all matters relating to politics, and was always consulted with entire con-
fidence in reference to the many and varied facts, dates, and statistics laid up in his
well-stored mind. Indeed, he was a living, political manual, ready at all times to
impart the fund of information he had acquired, to his numerous friends, who were
ever eager to avail themselves of his knowledge and sound judgment. He will be
strangely missed in the places where he has been accustomed to resort for so long
a series of years, and his loss will be seriously fiilt. This is the second death that has
occurred in the present City Council."

The childhood of Solomon Towne was passed on liis father's farm in
Boxford ; but farming was distastefid to him, and he resolved to find some
more congenial occupation. Having obtained the consent of his parents, he
left home at an early age for Salem, where he found employment with
"William Gray, the great merchant. On entering Mr. Gray's service, he
made up his mind that it should be no fault of his if he did not advance in
Mr. Gray's esteem. Beginning as a cabin boy, he rose through the various
grades until lie was master and supercargo of one of the finest of Mr. Gray's
ships tliat was employed in the East Indian trade. Captain Towne made
most of his voyages in the employ of ^Ir. Gray, and won his entire confi-
dence, — a favor enjoyed only by the most deserving. He lived in the house
still standing on Chestnut Street, Salem, where five of his children were
born, and whence he removed to Boston while they were quite young. His
last voyage was made from Boston in the brig Congress, belonging to
"William Goddard. He died on this voyage on the coast of Sumatra, and
the vessel was brought home by his son, Joshua Towne, who was with

During tlie "War of 1812, Samuel Gooch served as an officer on board
the United States Brig Enterprise. He was taken prisoner and subjected
to many hardships. On the return of peace, Mr. Gooch engaged in trade
between Boston and portions of ]Maine. Subsequently, he was engaged for
several years in the cooperage, fish, and pork business. But his heart was
never in trade except as a necessary means to an end. After a time his
earnest longings were satisfied, and he entered the ministry. He was an
acti%-e co-worker with the Rev. Dr. Tuckerman in establishing new schools,
and visiting the sick and destitute in the neglected wards of the city of
Boston. He felt a deep sympathy for the colored race, and on Aug. 3, 1833,
wrote the letter to the Liberator in behalf of the African Church in Belknap
Street, Boston, which was the first public suggestion of a national concert
of prayer for the abolition of slavery. In this noble letter the master and
the slave are both recognized with equal kindness and charity. " Open thy
mouth for the dumb," and " Woe unto me if I preach not the gospel," were
passages frequently on his lips, and were the controlling sentiments of his
life. He was a man of uncommon physical endurance, and his muscular
feats in early life were surprising.^

372 TEE PICKERIXG GEXEALOGY.

Mr. Goodale was brought up in tlie counting-room of William Gray,
the famous Salem merchant, and was afterwards a book-keeper for Sec-
comb & Williams, of Salem, large dealers in drugs, groceries, &c. Early
in life he went to New Orleans, where he became, in the course of time, a
suo-ar-refiner on a large scale, his works covering a square in the suburbs
of that city. In the latter part of his life, however, his business was ruined
by the civil war, and he became poor.

Mr. Goodale was for many years a member of the Fu-st Presbyterian
Church in New Orleans, and afterwards a member, elder, and trustee of the
Lafayette Presbyterian Church in the same city. His pastor, the Rev. Dr.
T. R. Markham, wrote a long obituary of him, which was printed in the
Southwestern Presbyterian. It consisted of an analysis of his high
Christian character. The following are extracts from it. He was " a godly
man whose views and habits were shaped and toned by the strict training
of his youth, but in whom the hardness of that old austere type was
softened and relieved by the presence and power of a grace in which he
stood pre-eminent, — a very Saul among his brethren." " In the gi'ace of
giving he ' abounded,' in its continued and unfailing manifestation exceed-
ing any man whom the writer has ever known. Appeals for aid from
every quarter met a ready response, and, above all, the poor were never
sent empty away, hearing only the words ' be ye warmed and filled.'
Indeed his spirit and manner impressed me, as one of the almoners of his

his readiness to help, that his friend of more than half a century remarked,

attachineiit to the old Federal partv was very marked ; and to his latest
days he professed the greatest admiration for the men and principles that
distinguished it.

Mr. Chapman held many oftices of trust, and was so much in public
life, and so active in his habits, that few citizens of Salem were as generally
known as he. lie served as a private in the War of 1812. In 1838 and in
1839, he was a member of the common council of Salem, and in 1842 and
in 1843, he was a representative to tlie General Court. From 1847 to
1<849, he was a member of the governor's council; and for the six years
from 18G1 to 1807, lu^ was the ])ostmaster of Salem. He was an original
member of tlie Salem Cliaritable 3Icchanio Association, which was organized
in 1817; and for thirty-two years he was its treasurer. For forty-three
years, he was clerk of the proin-ietors of the South Jleeting House. He
was also one of the vice-presidents of the Five Cent Savings Bank, and
held other responsible offices, into all of which he carried his chai-acteristic
energy and efficiency.

In the year 1823, he was admitted to membership in the South Church;
and for half a centiu'v no one was a more constant attendant than he at all
of its religious services. His health was so remarkable that he was never
obliged to have a doctor but once, and his vigor and activity were often
the subject of comment. He was a man of sterling integrity, of strong
personal convictions, but was without obstinacy. He was loyal to the
right, but ever ready to be convinced if he was wrong'. He could be
neither frightened nor bought. lie was ever ready to relieve distress, and
never failed to utter his testimony against the use of tobacco and intoxicat-
ing liquors.

His funeral services were attended by the mayor and members of the
city government, representatives of the press, and citizens and friends from
almost every walk in life. The Rev. E. S. At wood made an address which
was a high tribute to Mr. Chapman's character.'

Mr. Peirce graduated at Harvard College, in 1801, with the highest
honors of his class. His own inclination would perhaps have led him to
one of the learned professions ; but circumstances induced him to enter
business with his father. His love of letters continued throughout his life,
and when reverses in business came he was very willing to connect himself
with the university. His familiarity with classic English literature well
fitted him for the position of Librarian of Harvard College, to which he was
appointed in 1826, and which he filled with ability and fidelity.

He prepared a catalogue of the university library, which was published
in four volumes. In addition to this work, he wrote a history of the college,
which was published in 1833. A sketch of Mr. Peirce's life is appended to
this history.

Dming his residence in Salem, he represented the town several
years in the General Court, and in 1811 he was elected senator for
Essex County.

Mr. Peirce was a man of the strictest integrity and of a high moral
character.^

the West India trade with Captain Benjamin Hodges. For a year George
Nichols was a clerk in their counting-room ; but, desiring to see more of the
world, he went to sea, and continued in this pursuit for several years,
making prosperous voyages as supercargo and master. He finally retired
from the sea, and went into business with his brother-in-law, Benjamin
Peirce, besides being interested with his father in the " Active " for several
voyages. His business prospered, and when the War of 1812 broke out, he
was worth at least forty thousand dollars. The war, however, proved
disastrous to him, for every vessel in which he was concerned was captured,
and he lost nearly a half of liis property. At the close of the war, he
engaged in commerce again with Benjamin Peirce and others, and for
several years with success ; but disasters and ruinous voyages took place,
and in 1826, he found himself bankrupt, as was the case with his father-in-
law and his father-in-law's two sons. With nothing but his own resources
to rely upon, Mr. Nichols went into the auction and commission business,
and in about fifteen years was able to pay his creditors about ten thousand
dollars.^

Mr. Nichols was for many years treasurer and agent of the South
Building Corporation (no^v known as Hamilton Hall). As an old man he
was said to have been rather severe in his bearing.

mained the sole pastor of the church. He discharged his duties with great
ability, and very acceptably to the society. When at last he resigned his
charge on account of feeble health, the church would not accept his resig-
nation, and he remained nominally its pastor until his death, although
relieved from all the duties of the otlice. \yhen he moved to Cambridge,
the Rev. Horatio Stebbins was installed as his colleague. The installation
service took place Jan. 31, 1855.

Dr. Nichols was highly esteemed as a preacher and as a profound
theologian. In 1831, he published " A Catechism of Natural Theology "
which is considered a classic. He was the author of "Hours with the
Evangelists," which contains an engraving of him. In 1821, he received
the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Bowdoin College, of which he was
vice-president ; and in 1831, ho received the same degree from Harvard
College. He was \'ice-president of the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences. He took an active part in the philanthropic and reformatory
movements of the day, and was a devoted friend of the temperance cause,
of the Bible Society, of the Sunday-school, and of all benevolent
institutions.

Dr. Nichols was a scholarly man, and kept abreast with the times, both
in theological and scientific matters. Nothing in the way of discovery
escaped his observation. He was gifted in conversation, and few surpassed
him in this respect. No one could be in his society, even for a brief time,
without being deeply impressed with the extent and variety of his knowl-
edge and with his ease in communicating it. And yet, with these rare
powers, he was perfectly simple, unaflFected, and impretending. There are
several portraits of him. One of them hangs in Channing Hall, in the
building of the American Unitarian Association, Boston.^

The engraving here given is from a plate in possession of the
family.

Hasket Derby, and while in his employ he made several voyages to
Calcutta. He finally removed from Salem to Boston, where he was
associated in partnersliip with Colonel Benjamin Pickman and his son.
At one time he was in partnership with Thomas "Wren "Ward [17. VIII.
183], the style of the firm being Ropes & '\\"ard ; he then went into business
with :\Ir. B. T. Reed, as Ropes, Reed, & Co. Having met with business
reverses, he went to St. Petersburg in 1829, via Cuba, in the ship Courser.
There he made satisfactory business arrangements, and then returned to
Boston. In 1832, he returned to St. Petersburg, taking with him his
second wife and four of his children, where he established the firm of
W. Ropes & Co. In 1842, the firm was transferred to Boston, with a
branch house in St. Petersburg. In 1853, his son-in-law, Charles Hooper
Trask, was admitted to the firm, and a branch office was opened in New
York. Another branch was afterwards opened in London, under the style
of "W. H. Ropes. A few years after the business w\as established in St.
Petersburg, :\Ir. Ropes's eldest son, "William Hooper Ropes, became a part-

of the tirin was Mr. luipes's grandson, William Hall Kopes, who had
represented the firm at St. Petersburg up \o the time of his return to New-
York in the fall of IS'j-J. At that time the firm oonsisted of Joseph Samuel
Ropes, Charles Hooper Trask, and AVilliaiu Hall Ropes, with offices in
London, St. Petersburg, and New York City. The Boston office has been
discontinued. The firm is one of the few shipping- houses which kept their
ships under the American flag throughout the civil war. It has maintained
its mercantile credit without iuterru^.tion more tlian sixty years.

In 1842, having spent five }-eors in St. Petersburg, and nearly five
years in London, Mr. Ropes returned to Boston with his family.

After he became prosperous, he paid all the debts he had incurred by his
failure, in man}- cases with interest. He was an early and warm adherent
of the old Republican party, and gave liberally towards its support, and
towards the upholding of the cause of the Union during the civil war.
He was also an active promoter and a generous benefactor of philanthropic
and religious enterprises. He had a warm and healthful interest in the
young, and in the atTairs of the day, a great love for active life, and a great
deal of pride in being a merchant. In his early life he was a parishioner of
the Rev. Dr. Chainiing ; but he sided Avith the Trinitarians in the Unitarian
controversy. He was for many years connected with the Central Congre-
gational Church, but in his later years was an attendant at Trinity Church.
Whatever his creed, he was a man of a catholic spirit.

There are two portraits of ^^Ir. Ropes belonging to his son, John Codman
Ropes. One was painted in 1S19, by "Bally, eleve de David,'' one by
Bass Otis, about the year 1825, and there are portraits of him by Alex-

died in Boston. A minister. Residence : Boston.

Mr. Green, 11. C. ISIG, Avhen fifteen years of age, became an apprentice
to a mason and bricklayer, clioosing- this trade because it would give him
the long winters fi:>r study. After graduating, he studied theology for a term
at the Andovor Theological Seminary, and finished his preparatory divinity
com-se in 1819, while he was a tutor at Bowdoin College. He was ordained
third pastor of the Old South Church in Reading, Mass., Sept. 20, 1820.
His ministry in Reading was short, but successful. In Xovember, 1822,
the Union Church of Essex Street, Boston, gave him a call, and, though
the Reading Churcli refused to give him up, a renewal of the call prevailed,
and he was installed pastor of the Union Church, March 2G, 1823. For ten
years he labored there with great energy and success. His constant and
untii-ing devotion to his duties was too great a tax on his strength, and lie
was at last obliged to take a trip to Europe to regain his health. In this
he was unsuccessful, and he returned home only to die. He was a simple,
earnest, and holy man, and an impressive preacher.

Several of ]Mr. G-reen's sermons were printed. The principal ones were,
a sermon before the Massachusetts Society for Promoting Christian Knowl-
edge, 1827; A Memorial Sermon at Plymouth, Dec. 22, 1828, and More
Than One Hundred Arguments in Proof of the Supreme Divinity of
Jesus Christ.^

He was a son of Thomas and Anna (Knight) Green, of Stoneham, Mass.
His father was a farmer and carpenter of small property and was much
respected for his industry and integrity. Mr. Green was a brother of the

" There is very little to say about my fatlier's business. He was a mechanic of
hmited means, leading a very quiet life in a very quiet little villa.r^e nestled among the
green hills of Vermont, on the banks of the Connecticut. When I was about three or
four years old lie started West to seek his fortune — went as far as the State of Ohio,
which in those days was considered a long, tedious journey, and almost out of the
world. But, to the great relief of my mother, he returned disgusted with the western
country, and settled down to work again in his cabinet shop, making furniture, which
he sold often times for pay at the store, or the products of the farm. There was
very little money to be had in those days.

" There were many Scotch farmers living in the country round, and especially
in Ryegate, the town adjoining N. on the north ; and occasionally there was a
daughter to be married off, and the old red sleigh would cnmo into town, bringing the
farmer and the daughter, and perhaps the mother or a sister to assist her in selecting
her outfit. Then my father always expected to get at least half money for his wares,
for many of tliosc Scotch farmers were ' well to do,' though they lived in a very plain
way.

" My father and mother were both members of the Congregational Church in
Newbury, Yt., and the old Meeting House, built in 1790, stood right across the
street. ... It was a great diversion to us children, on a Sabbath morning, to stand

The family eiubarkt'd in tlie ship "'Alert," bound for Baltimore, but
owing to a leak in the vessel she was obliged to put into Boston, Sept. 1,
1807. Here his father met Captain Pinel, of Salem, to whom he had
brought letters of introduction, and who advised him to settle in Salem.
He acted on this advice, and made Salem his home.

John Bertram was sent to Master Hacker's school to finish his educa-
tion. In 180I>, lie It-t't school to assist his fallier, but the work did not
prove congenial. He had a strong desire to go to sea, and in December,
1812, being then sixteen years old, he shipped o;i board tlie ship " Hazard,"
bound for xUexandria and Lisbon. His next voyage was on the private
armed schooner '* ]\[orikey," Captain Glover. She sailed for Charleston,
Nov. 27, 1813, but was hardly out of Salem harbor, when she was pm-sued
by the enemy and chased into Gloucester, where she laid for several days.
She finally started on her voyage, was again pursued, but succeeded in
reaching her destination. Receiving his discharge, he shipped at Charles-
ton, I\rarch 1, 1814, on board the privateer "Herald,'' a vessel of three
hundred tons and carrying one luindred and twenty-five men and nine
guns. Dnring hur crui^^e she capt\ired a British packet, and Mr. Bertram
was put on board of her as one <.)f tlie prize crew. But they, in tum, were
captured and carried to Berniuihi, where they were coniined in a prison
ship, and finally sent to England ; but they arrived there too late to be
sent to ])artmoor, peace having taken place. On returning to Salem, he
resumed his sea-faring life, and, rising through the various grades, finallv
became master of a vessel. After making many voyages which carried
him over the greater i)a.rt of the world, he became a merchant, and a very
successful one. He was about three years on the coast of Patagonia, and
carried on trade in various ports of South America, at the Cape of Good
Hope, at Zanzibar, at Mocha, and at Madagascar. He was extensively
engaged ivi the rubber business at Para, and in the earlier California trade.
To the day of his death, his house took the lead hi the imports from Mada-
gascar, Zanzibar, and Mocha. In 18.5'^, he became interested in railroads.

vice-president at the tune of his death. He carried into this new business
the energy, caution, and foresight whicli had characterized him in his com-
mercial enterprise, and he met with success.

In 1827, he became a member of the Essex Lodge of Freemasons ; in
May, 1829, of the Old Salem Marine Society, and in January, 1830, of
the East India ^Marine Society. He kept up his membership in all the
organizations until the time of his death.

As a citizen. Captain Ixntram was without reproach. Although deeply
interested in the prosperity of his adopted city, he was averse to holding
ofHce, and several times declined to be a candidate for mayor of Salem.
He did, however, serve in the Common Council in 1837 and 1838, and re-
presented Salem in the General Court in 1857 and 18G3.

He left a very lai-ge fortune. He was a very liberal man, and during
his life every praiseworthy object was sure of his generous support. His
two great gifts to the public were the Salem City Hospital and the Old
Men's Home. On the first of December, 1887, his heirs offered to the city
of Salem his fine residence on Essex Street, to be used as a public library.
The offer was accepted. Ilis widow and daughters also gave the library
a portrait of Captain Bertram painted by F. P. Vinton, of Boston. In
private intercourse he was a genial and companionable man, and his
reminiscences were both interesting and instructive.

His first wife, whom he married Oct. 19, 1823, was :\rary C. Smith,
who was born about the year 1800, and died April 18, 1837. By her he

his partner in manufacturing table cutlery. He superintended the practical
part of the business, first at Saccarappa, Maine, and then at Meriden, Conn.,
to which place tlio establishment was removed after the death of George
Ropes. In ^It-riden, David Ropes brought his goods to a high degree of
excellence, and competed successfully with foreign manufacturers. But a
tempting offer caused him to dispose of his Meriden interest, and he became
a partner in tlie firm of Po})penhusen & Co., of New York, large manufac-
turers of rubber goods.

From Meriden, ]\Ir. Ropes removed to Orange, N. J., where he became
one of its leading citizens. He served in the city government as council-
man and alderman, and was finally elected mayor. He invested largely in
vacant lands, through which he laid out streets, and these streets are now
constantlv being lined with dwellings. He was also instrumental in grad-
ing and macadamizing the old streets, and added in many other ways to
the attractiveness of the city. The high esteem in which he was held was
expressed at his death by the eulogistic resolutions of public and other
organizations. The New England Society of Orange, of which he was
president for two years, say of him, in a long tribute to his memory, that
few men have lived and died among us leaving a record of a purer and
more useful life. He was the energetic man of business, the uncompromising
advocate of tlie right, the friend of the slave, tlie helper of the needy, and
the wise counsellor in matters of public policy and public welfare. In all
the relations of public and private life he acted well his part, and in depart-

408 THE PICKERING GENEALOGY.

48. \I1. 202. Joiin Higginson Cabot [Aun 4S. \l. 80], probably
bora in Salem, baptized tliere Aug-. 18, 1782, died in Marseilles,
France.

In 1803 and 1804, when Mr. Cabot was about twenty-one years old, he
was established at the Isle of I'rancc as a merchant consifrnee, and as agent
for Salem merchants. In 1S08, while he was on board the ship Creole,
bound for Boston, John Williams, owner, tlie vessel was seized by the
British, and 31 r. Cabot was taken off and carried to Fort St. George,
Poonamallce, and was detained there as a prisoner of Avar for several months.
No reason was assigned tor this high-handed proceeding; but, presumably
he was supposed to have some connection with the French. His corres-
pondence with the British authorities about his detention shows ability,
coolness, and determination, and finally resulted in his release. He after-
wards resided at Marseilles on account of ill health.

He was a mail of high character and sound judgment. His wit, con-
versational powers, and elegant manners made his society sought for
by the most intelligent and cultivated people wherever he happened to
be. Ho kept a diary, which is now in the possession of his nephew, John
Higginson Cabot, to whom we are indebted for most of the material for
this sketch.

daily duties and minute concerns of life. He was very prudent and pacific
in his actions. His conduct was uniform and consistent, and his disposition
peculiarly amiable. There was a perfection, completeness, and symmetry
to his nature which made him one of the most estimable of men.

firm in his religious sentiments, he was liberal toward those who differed
from him, and continued to exchange with the Unitarians, after many of
his brethren had refused to do so.

Dr. Gile never manifested any fondness for pirblic life ; but he performed

community. He was called to preach before the Foreign Mission Society
of Boston and vicinity, the Norfolk Education Society, the Society for
Promoting Christian Knowledge, the Society for Propagating the Gospel,

the crisis. To him we are indebted for the planting of trees on Boston
Common which, before his time, with the exception of the malls, contained
no trees.

On his retirement from office, he witlidrew to jjrivate life. lie bad be-
come the owner of the beautiful estate of Governor Gore, at AYaltbam ; but
he gave up this place after bis life's death, and bought an estate in Brook-
line, formerly owned by the Hon. Jonathan Mason. It is one of the largest
and most beautiful places in the vicinity of Boston, and is famous for its
fine avenue and lawn.

General Lyman was an active member of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society, and left a bequest to it in his will. He interested himself much
in the public charities of Boston, and gave his time and attention to improv-
ing the condition of the suffering classes. He v\-as president and a trustee
of the Boston Asylum and Farm vSchool for Indigent Boys, to \\hicb institu-
tion be left a liberal bequest. His great work, however, was the foundation
of the State Refonn School at "Wes tborough, to which he gave at different
times very large sums of money.

General Lyman was fond of books, and collected a valuable library.
When the Boston Athena}um was removed from Pearl Street, be took a
leading part in its arrangement and decoration. He was the author of
" Three Weeks in Paris" [Boston, ISU] ; "The Political State of Italy"

[1S20] ; " Account of the Ilartfurd Coin eiitiou " [1823] ; " The Diplumacy
of the United States with Foreiiru Nations" [1820 and 1828].

He was a pei'son of hiyhly pulislied manners, great evenness of temper,
exeraphiry in all the relations of life, and exact in all its duties.' General
Lyman in his youno^er days appears to have been very fond of dress, and
the following-, taken from a family book, is interesting as showing to what
extent the dressing of the neck was carried: —

" Theodore's passion for dress is in a degree worn off, still we have had to tie his
cravat in various ways before the proper plait, alias Pliiladeliiliia fashion, could be
imilatcJ. Three hi'ooclies are worn by some to keep tliis neck stiffeuer in place."

A note added to this says : —

"Mrs. Sam. Cabot tells me her husband used to wear two neckcloths of muslin,
each \\ yards square." -

His portrait, painted by Gerard of Paris, in 1818, has been engraved for
volume three, page two hundred and thirty-seven, of the ilemorial History
of Boston. A heliotype taken directly from the portrait is here given.

b2.\ll.27S. Samuel Ath-lns Eliot, her hiishand, Ldiu in Boston,
died iu Caiubridg-e, ]\Iass, Residences : Boston and Xaliant, Mass.^

Mr. Eliot was fitted for college at the Boston Public Latin School, and
graduated at Harvard College, with high honors, in 1817. He at once
entered the Pivinity Sl-1ioo1 at Cambridge, and studied theology, but did
not enter ujxtu tlie clerical profession. He was a gentleman of great
personal worth, and of eminent public spirit.

In 1831-35, ho was an alderman of Boston, a member of the school
committee, and largely etlicient in the introduction of singing into the public
schools. For many years he was president of the Boston Academy of Music.

In 1837, 1838, and 1830, he was mayor of Boston, and suppressed with
great promptness the Broad Street Riot, — a disturbance of threatening
dimensions. He also re-organized the Boston Fire Department. In IS-tS,
he was a State senator, and, in 1850—51, a member of Congress. From
18-42 to 1853, he was treasurer of Harvard College. For a long time he
was an active member of the Prison Discipline Society, and took a strong
interest in many of the charities of Boston. He was for many years a
warden of King's Chapel, and also had charge of the choir.

In 1853, he joined tlie firm of Charles H. Mills & Co., a connection dis-
solved by the failure of that firm in 1857. The fortitude and cheerfulness
with which ]\Ir. Eliot met the loss of his whole property were a lesson to all
who saw him. In 1856, he was chosen president of the Boston Gas Light
Company.

His unblemished moral character, his refined and intellectual tastes, his
active temperament, and his incorruptible fidelity led his fellow-citizens to
call him often to their service. The fluctuations of his popularity were many ;
but he was always believed to be faithful to his highest conviction of right."

* The date of his death is given as Jan. 29, 18G2, by several authorities; while it is
given as Jan. 26, 1862, in the Dictionary of American Biography, by Francis S. Drake,
and in the History of the Wingate Family, by Charles E. L. Wlngate, p. 194. Jan. 29 is
undoubtedly correct.

instrumental in establishing the works of the Boston Chemical Company at
Waltham, in which he was interested until the demolition of the buildings
and the suspension of the business a few years ago. He was a large share-

in Boston, died in Brookline, Mass. A merchant. Residences : Boston
and Brookline.

Mr. Gardner, H. C. 1821, was a Boston Latin School scholar,
and entered college at the age of thirteen. After graduating, he
went into the office of the mercantile firm of Ropes & Ward. He subse-
quently owned manv ships and was laigely interested in foreign trade.
He later turned nnich of his attentioi^ and capital to real estate in Boston.
He was wise, careful, and courageous in business matters, and was regarded
as one of the ablest and most successful merchants in Boston. "When a
young man, he was captain of the "Rifle Rangers" militia company,
president of the Tremont Club, and a trustee of the Humane Society. He
was natin-allv of a retiring disposition, and avoided public or political
prominence. His character and will were strong, with great amiability and
tact, and he was ver}- much respected and beloved by his family and friends.
At the time of his death, he was president of the ^^Fassachusetts Hospital
Life Insurance Company. He was much attached to his place in Brookline,
where he passed his summers ; and for many years its care and cultivation
were one of his "-reatest interests. He was a liberal man, and made many

circle.^

bZ.Wl. 303. Caflifn-lne EJixahrtli Peahodn, the wife of Jolin
Lowell Gardner, born in Salem, died in Brookline, ]\Iass.

^Irs. Gardner was endowed with a rLinarkable union of qualities which
prepared her equally for the wider and the narrower sphere of duty. The
only daughtt-r of parents v.'ho could anticipate her every wish, and, through
life, possessed of all the privileges of worldly prosperity, she was yet free
from self-adulation, untouched by worldliness. She fulfilled with sincerity
and grace the duties which wealth imposes, and accepted its cares. She did
not allow it to restrict for her the enjoyments it cannot bestow. The
refined luxury of the house over which she presided did not render it the
less a home. Its brilliant hospitalities were consistent with sedulous and
tender watchfulness over her children, with considerate judgment in their
training, and with personal aid in their instruction. No view, however
limited, of Mrs. Gardner's character and influence can fail to include her
piety, always earnest and pervading, and never austere."

Mrs. Gardner Avas a daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Smith) Peabody,
of Salem. Joseph Augustus Pcahodij [54. VII. 309'] was her brother ; Eliza
Endicott Pealodi/ [53. VIII. G141 was her niece ; Samuel Endicott Peahody

Mr. Putnam, H. C. 1S15, chose a mercantile rather than a professional
life, and entered the counting-room of Pickering Dodge [59. VI. 123], of
Salem, of whom he spoke with great respect, and with whom he served an
apprenticeship.

He made several voyages to the East Indies as supercargo. For many
years he was engaged in business in Europe, particularly in the city of
Antwerp, where he established a house, and had as a partner an Englishman
named Alfred BaiTOw. He conducted his business with skilful enterprise and
success. He finally returned to Boston, where he continued as a merchant.

His interest in the education of his children led him, in 1851, to return
to Europe, where he remained more than seven years, living chiefly in
France, Italy, and Germany. His prolonged stay in Europe was made
chiefly on account of his children, and their progress was an ample source
of happiness. But he also found in it pleasures and congenial occupations
of his own. He studied the histones of the countries he visited and their
actual condition. His love of art found continual gratification; and in the
summer journeys made in the children's vacations, he enjoyed with them
the pleasiu'es of natural scenerv, of which he was very susceptible. He
returned to Boston in the autumn of 1858. Mr. Putnam was deeply inter-

ested in the questions then agitating the country, his judgment and his
sympathies being always on the side of freedom and right. He was a man
of elevated character, of noble views, in conduct just, generous, compas-
sionate, and indulgent.^

i\Irs. Putnam, witli her husband and children, passed more than seven
years in Europe, Laving Boston for Liverpool in 1851, and returning
thither in 1858. Since that time she has made several visits to Europe.

She has always been interested in the study of philology, and is
acquainted with many languages, several of which she speaks with fluency.

Mrs. Putnam has published anonymously, " Records of an Obscure
Man" [1861]; "Tragedy of Errors" [1862]; "Tragedy of Success"
[1862]; "Fifteen Days" [1866]. She has written a memoir of her son,
William Lowell Putnam ; a memoir of her father, the Rev. Charles Lowell,
D.D., for the Memorial Biographies of the New England Historic-Genea-
logical Society [1885]; " Guepin of Nantes, a French Republican,"
printed by the soldiers of tlie National Militar}- Home, Ohio [1874]. She
has conti-ibuted to the North American Review articles on the literature of
Poland and of Hungary, and to the Christian Examiner articles on the
history of Hungary.

Of late years ^Irs. Putnam has taken quite an interest in genealogical
studies, and has made, personally, and through others, many investigations
in England. Through her efforts the Russell and Pitt pedigrees have been
extended and verified, and a pedigree of the latter has been made by the
Heralds College, showing the connection of ^laud Pitt, wife of Richard
Russell, with the family of the Earl of Chatham. Her home is on Beacon

a great many facts and make observations to be connnunicatod to others
and worked up by them for the benefit of the profession." ^Modest and
silent, even shy in general society, he had a great sense of humor, and was
capable of a righteous indignation ut anything he believed to be unjust.
His chosen motto was, " Fiat justitia, ruat caelum ! " Too busy to take
much share in public affairs, he Nvarmly espoused any cause that seemed to
him to need support, and strongly advocated the claims of Dr. Morton,
whose share in the discovery of ether he believed to be undervalued. His
love of music was keen, and in his early life he sang bass in the choir of
the Xorth Church in Salem. His absolute unselfishness, and his expectation
that his children would maintain an equally high standaixl, was a well

White with the gathering snow-tiakes, who faced the storm so long."

The first twenty years of ^Irs. Donaldson's life were spent in Boston
with lier relatives, where she knew many young people Avho afterwards
attained distinction, notalily, Dr. Holmes, Longfellow, Charles Sumner, and
others. She once saw Aaron Burr; and she heard John Randolph, of
Roanoke, talk after his return from the Russian Embassy, with his eccen-
tricities something akin to madness. Her home, Edgewood, ^^ here she has
always exercised a simple hospitality, stands on a few acres of her grand-
father Dorsey's land in Howard County, near the boundary line of Baltimore
County.

Mrs. Donaldson is gifted in conversation, and her vivid memory of people
and events are particularly interesting. She and her husband were first
cousins.

58. VII. 33G. llioiHiis JDonaldson, her husband, born in Baltimore,
Md., died at Edgewood, Elkridge, Howard County, ]Md. A lawyer. Resi-
dence : Edgewood, Elkridg-e, near Baltimore.

Mr. Donaldson was fitted for college at Round Hill School, Northampton,
Mass., graduated at Harvard College in lS3i, and began the btudy of law in
Baltimore. Failing health, however, mndt,' him choose the more active duties
of a civil engineer, and he was employed in the construction of various rail-

roads. On the re-establislunent of his liealth, he resumed tlio study of the
law, was admitted to tlie Bar in 1843, and as a lawyer attained distinction. In
1847 and in 1848, he was a member of the Maryland House of Delegates,
serving' as chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means. He also took a
determined stand against the pending measures of repudiation, and did more
than any other man to defeat the scheme. In 1847, he had the satisfaction
of seeing Maryland place herself among the solvent States of the Union.
He took an active j)art in the Constitutional Convention called in 1850 to
make a new constitution tor the State of Maryland.

About the year 1843. he purchased several acres in a tract of land called
Elkridge, eight miles from Baltimore. This place, which he made his home,
lie called Edgewood.

From tlie year 1851 to 18(U, Mr. Donaldson was actively engaged in
the duties of his profession, and took no pai't in politics. In 1854, he was
chosen director and also one of the counsel of the Philadelphia, "Wilming-
ton, and Baltimore Railroad Company, and he held both of these offices as
long as he lived. He was elected a member of the Board of Trustees of the
Peabody Institute of the city of Baltimore, some time after its establish-
ment, and took an active interest in its affairs until his death.

During the war for the preservation of the Union, Mr. Donaldson was
an avowed Union man. In November, ISGl, he was elected a member from
Howard County to the House of Delegates of Maryland, and, on the fourth
of December, he took his seat at the extra session of the General Assembly
called by Governor Hicks. On the seventeenth of the month, he submitted
a series of joint resolutions which expressed his opinions on the political
questions of the day. These resolutions were adopted by the House of
Delegates, but were very materially altered in the Senate.

Mr. Donaldson was a diligent reader to the end of his life. The great
poets were his especial favorites, and their works were indelibly engraved on
his memory. High tributes to his learning, culture, and character were paid
him in the Evening Bulletin, and in the Baltimore American, by S. Teackle
Wallis, and by George William I'rown, both of whom were his early friends
and professional brethren.

Mr. Wallis speaks of the excellence of his individual and personal quali-

obHg-iition, no matter how much it mig-ht entail of patient industry and
labor; the amiable frankness of his temper, and the cordial kindness of his
intercourse and manners. Chief Justice Ih-own speaks of him as dying in
the maturity of his powers, with a still more distinguished cai'eer lying-
immediately before him, and says that in Howard County, where he resided,
he was universally beloved and honored, that he was the leader of the Bar,
and was engaged in every import;uit case.

Mr. Donaldson was the eldest son of John Johnston and Caroline
(Dorsey) Donaldson. Ilainmond Borscij \')>^. VI. US'] was his uncle. His

partnership. For forty -four years he was a member of the Salem East
India Marine Society, of which he was secretary from 183-1: to 1836.

^iv. Allen is best known, however, by bis devotion to horticulture in its
higher branches, especially to the culture of the grape, of which he raised
several new varieties. His published treatise on this fruit is regarded as an
authorit}-, and has passed through three editions. His success in raising
the Victoria Kegia, and his splendid monograph on that gorgeous flower,
are well kuo-wn. He was an original member of the Essex Institute, and
was for several years one of the curators of horticulture. He was also a
vice-president of that institution from 1864 to 1807. He published the
following works : "A Practical Trentise on the Culture and Treatment of
the Grape Vine," New York, C. M. Saxton, 2d edition, 1848 ; 3d edition,

held more firmly their confidence and regard. To aid and cheer the poor
and discouraged, was her delight, and she was widely known for her broad
charity and noble work for the poor.

Mrs. Silsbee was of a joyous nature, had a most original mind, and
witty tongue, and was an ideal hostess, — charming and entertaining. She

59. \l\. 347^- John Itobinson, the first husbuiul of Lucy P. Stone,
born in North Andover, Mass., died in Salem. A merchant. Residence :
Salem.

Mr. Robinson was born at the homestead of his mother's family near the
Shawsheen River. He was educated in the old Franklin xVcademy at
Andover ; but while yet a boy he went to Salem, where he became a clerk
in stores and oilice-s. By the advice of his uncle, Nathan Robinson, a mer-
chant of Salem, he went to sea. His first voyage was in the ship "Two
Brothers," Captain Gilchrist, commander, for whom he was a clerk. She
sailed from Salem, visiting Batavia and Antwerp, and returned to Salem
after an absence of over two }-ears. This voyage was repeated during the
following years ; and he afterwards continued to make voyages as super-
cargo in several vessels. He finally closed his foreign career by a residence
of considerable length in Canton, China, as factor for the firm of Bryant &
Sturgis, of Boston.

He retm-ned to Salem in 1839, and became treasurer of the New-
market Manufacturing Company, which position he occupied until his
death.

Mr. Robinson's character was rather reserved, and his business success
was from thouglitful conservative action rather than boldness. In all
capacities, he labored to serve faithfully those in whose employ he was,
and the interests of those associated with him. During his long voyages he
devoted his time to i-eading, when not otherwise engaged, and possessed
considerable knowledge of such foreign languages as were required in his
business relations.

A summary of his life between his first and last voyage, found in a care-
fully written journal, gives an excellent idea of the character of the times,
and the almost universal tendency in those days toward a life abroad.
The follo\\ing memoranda are from his journal : —

" At sea from Feb. 2, 1817, to Feb. 24, 1839, 3470 days, or 9 \-ears and 6 months.

I^Ir. Robinson's portrait was painted by Osg-ood, and is now owned by
Ills son, John Kobinson. A lieliotype of it is here given. Mr. Robinson

John Robinson was a son of Aaron, and Sarah (Poor) Robinson, of
i\ndo".'er. His pute^'nal ancestors were all successful farmers, and had lived
fi,ir several generations iuxVndover and Boxfurd, near where the line between
the town passes nortli of the Croat Pond. His grandfatlier, ]Major John
Robinson, was one of the niiruite-meu of the Revolutionary "War. He
served under Vrashington, and was in the battles of Trenton and Brandy-
wine. During the terrible winter at Valley Forge, he held the position of
captain, and was instrumental in maintaining order amoug the troops.
These services were recognized by the Commander-in-Chief, who presented
him ^vith a sword, which is now in the possession of his great-grandson, in
Salem, who bears his name.' The ancestry of John Robinson includes the

Dr. Johnson, H. C 1814, studied medicine with Dr. Thomas Kittredge,
of North Andover, and settled in practice in Salem, where he was a leading
physician from 1818 to 18G0. During this period he had a most extensive

jMrs. Silsbee was one of tlie most striking and interesting of Salem's
ffiatrons, gifted in conversation, with much originality, and possessed of a
fund of anecdotes. She had a taste for writing, and wrote many "occa-
sional verses " which were never collected. At the time of the Taylor
Campaign, she wmte many campaign songs which enjoved considerable
popularity. Slie used often to tell laughingly how one day on coming fronr
Salem, where her life had lieen spent until the year 18G2, she was surprised
to hear a fire couipany singing one of tlicse songs in front of the Eevere
House. She compiled a book of poems under the title of " Memory and
Hope," which was published by Ticknor, Reed, & Fields, Boston, 1851.
She edited " Willie Winkle's Nursery Songs of Scotland," published by
Ticknor & Fields, Boston, 1859. These intense Scotch dialect songs were
in fact translations by her. At the age of seventy -five she published a
book, written and finished within the yeai-, " A Half Century in Salem,"
which had run through four editions befo]-e her death, the last one contain-
ing some few additions. It was published in Boston and New York,
Houghton, Miftlin & Co., 1887.

With her grandchildren Mi's. Silsbee was full of reminiscences, and
talked much of her grandmother, Lucia (Pickering) Dodge.

Her mother died while she was still a child, and some of her letters,
which Mrs. Silsbee kept through her long life, and which are still in exist-
ence, were the material from which one of the most interesting chapters in
her book was written.

On Saturday, Nov. 8, 1879 (the real anniversary was the following day),
she and her husband celebrated their golden wedding at their Boston home.

Her portrait was painted by Nichols, about 1844, and represents a beau-
tiful woman. It is in the possession of her son, William E. Silsbee, of
Boston.*

Mr. Pickering was a high type of the patient, practical, determined,
self-made man, and his history illustrates forcibly the fact that everything
yields to honest earnestness and persistent industry. At the early age
of fourteen, he made the acquaintance of John Prentiss, editor of the
New Hampshire Sentinel, and from him he imbibed the early taste for
journalism which caused him subsequently to adopt that calling. In
1832, he went West, with a view of settling there. He was a clerk in
stores in Xew Orleans, Louisville, and St. Louis, and I'eturned to New
Hampshire after an absence of a year or two. He married, and, taking
with him his }'Oung wife and infant child, he again went West, settling
at Hennepin, in Illhiois, where, for a time, he engaged in mercantile-
pursuits. He so<;)n, however, engaged in jom-nalism, and published the
Hennephi Journal. In 18-10, he was appointed postmaster of the town.
Four or five years later, he sold out his business, and went to St. Louis.
He joined with others and purchased two newspapers at St. Louis, called

SEVENTH GENEUATIOX. 489

tlio lieporter and Missouriaii. These [lapers were the re])reseiitative3 of
the two wings of the Democracy, ^ir. Pickering was at this time an
e.irnest Democrat, and was well-known throughout the West. It Avas
largely through his efforts that the rival factions united, and that a news-
paper called the St. Louis Union was produced by the consolidation of
tlio other two. Jlr. Pickering became one of the owners, and the chief
editor of this j)a})er, and his prominent position in the State led to his
election, by the legislature, as one of the directors of the State Bank.
After meeting with success for several years, Mr. Pickering was obliged
to make an assignment, nnd he started across the phuus for California.
lie reached California in the fall of 18-19, prepared to begin life anew.
For a while he lived Avith his delicate wife in a tent. Early in 1850, he
went to Illinoistown in Placer County, and established a store. Here he
continued until past midsummer, when he returned to Sacramento, and
purchased an interest in the Placer Times, his partner being Joseph

E. Lawrence. In 1851, this newspaper was consolidated with the
Transcript. The latter was owned by George K. Fitch and Martin

F. Grove, and here began the long partnership of Mr. Pickering and
Mr. Fitch. Their business at once became prosperous, and, in 1852,
Pickering, Fitch, and Lawrence bought j\Ir. Grove's interest in the
paper, and moved the paper to San Francisco, where it became still
more profitable. In 1853, they sold it, and i\Ir. Pickering established
with Mr. Fitch a banking and stock-brokerage business. In two years,
however, they closed out their venture and purchased the Alta California,
which they sold in 1S5G, after nine months' trial. Mr. Pickering was
a member of the Vigilance Committee of that year, and, after the sub-
sidence of that troublesome period, he took a trip to Europe. He
remained abroad four j'ears, for the most time living in Paris, where he
studied the French language and the customs of tlie people. In 18(10,
he returned to San Francisco. During his absence Jlr. Fitch had pur-
chased an interest in the Evening Bulletin, and, in 1861, Mr. Picker-
ing took an interest in that paper. From that time, ^Ir. Pickering was
engaged in active work, interrupted only by short intervals devoted to
travel.

490 THE PICKEIUXG GENEALOGY.

Althuugh all his lifu a Deiiiocrat, Jlr. Pickering believed, at the break-
ing out of the war, that, to save tlie Union, democracy must be abandoned.
To the cause of the Union, therefore, he devoted his best abilities. There
was no more devoted Union man than he throughout the -war, and, when
the conflict ended, his feelings left him a stanch Ifepublican, with which
party he ever afterwards acted.

About 1867, ho acquired an interest in tlio Morning Call, and its
direction a ad control fell almost eiitirtly upon him. ]5otli the I'lulletin and
the Call have been papers above the petty prejudices of politics, and they
worked assiduously lor the general welfare.

If the various articles %vritten by Mr. Pickering were collected and
published in book form, the volumes would form a library of no small
proportions. These articles show that his voice was never raised except
for the public good, and that his courage and patience were inexhaustible.
His influence was one of the powerful factors in the government of the
city and State. Being incorruptible, and having high ideas of life and
morals, his judgment and motives v.-ere respected, and carried with them
great weiglit.

When a young man, ho possessed a handsome figure. He was nearly
six feet tall, and carried himself with military erectncss. In later years, he
was still a fine-looking man. Among all who knew him, he was highly
esteemed and venerated. To his employes, he was most kind and con-
siderate, and his acts of kindness to tliose who had been disabled or grown
old in his service were proverbial. Ills honesty is shown in the payment
of every dollar of his early liabilities in St. Louis, after he had grown
prosperous.

IMr. Pickering was a member of the Society of California Pioneers,
a member of the Masonic fraternity, and a Past Grand Master in the Odd
Fellows. Tlie Templar Lodge No. 17, I. 0. 0. F. passed appropriate reso-
lutions to his memory, and the Campaign Committee of the Citizens Non-
partisan party of San Francisco did tlie same.^

tlie Hon. Jolm Lotlu'op ^Nfotlov, at the time of liis death, wrote a waiTn
tribute to his memory, which is too extended for this sketch, and wliich
speaks of him as surrounded by all which makes life desirable ; as prosper-
ous, honored, beloved ; happy in all his social relations, gifted with a sweet
and sunny temper, with a keen sense of enjoyment, with a merry heart
wliose outpourings were so sparkling that he was not only happy himself
but was the couse of happiness in others.

His mind was no common one. It was quick, healthy, robust, accurate,
sagacious. It had been cultivated by an excellent education, improved by
much travel and intercourse -with the world, and imbued with a love of
literature and v/ith an unaffected but refined and appreciating love of art.

As he was a bold and manly thinker, so was he prompt, courageous,
and resolute in action, and emphatically one of those who impress them-
selves indelibly upon his fellow-men. He was a man of unsullied
integrity and steadfast truth, of lofty principles and pure character, a brave
spirit in a loyal breast.^

1, VIII. 11. John Clarke Lee [Nathaniel C. 1. VII. 7], born in
Boston, died in Salem. A merchant. Residence : Salem.

Islr. Lee, H. C. 1823, studied law for a time in the office of John
Pickering [.58. VI. 109], but subsequently engaged in commercial busi-
ness in Boston, being, from 182(3 to 1830, of the firm of i^Ierrick & Lee,
wholesale dry-goods dealers. In 1848, with George Higginson [2. VIII.
lf\, he founded the house of Lee, Higginson, & Co., bankers and
brokers.

Having lost both of his parents at the age of five years, when he was
seven years old he went to Salem to live with his great-grandmother,
Sarah (Pickering) Clarke. He also spent some time in ministers' families
for educational advantages and care. Judge Charles Jackson, his uncle
by marriafi'e, and who was his guardian, made a proposition to Mr. John
Pickering, a kinsman of young Lee, that the latter should enter his
family. ^Iv. Pickering accepted Judge Jackson's proposition, and accord-
ingly John Clarke Lee, when he was twelve years old, took up his
residence with ^Ir. Pickering.

Here he remained dtn-ing his minority, attending a private classical
school, and receiving the same care and attention from Mr. and Mrs.
Pickering as was bestowed on their own children. The interest and
attachment growing out of these associations continued throughout his
life, and he often refen-ed with pleasure and gratitude to the advantages
of home education and training which he received from them.

Early in his married life he settled in Salem, devoting himself largely

organization of the Essex County Natural History Society, now embraced

in the Essex Institute, and was also a prominent member and officer of

the latter institution, being chairman of the tinanee committee from its

formation to the day of his death. ]\Ir. Lee was an active mover in

forming the Harmony Grove Cemetery Association, of wliich he was

! a trustee. He was a member of the American Academy of Arts and

I Sciences, and for many years its treasurer. ]\Ir. Lee was of a singularly

I independent character, but nevertheless he was held in the highest esti-

' mation by those who knew him best. His abilities were of no ordinary

i kind. He was a wide and intelligent reader, and on all tinancial c|uestious

i he was thoroughly informed, and a safe and reliable guide.'

' A portrait of him was painted by Chester Harding, about 1836, and

one in later life by K. M. Staigg. Both of those pictures are in the family

Mr. llig-ginson \vith(h'e\v tVoni tlie firm, and devoted himself to the care

gifts with great kindness and hberaUty.

He was a trustee hi the Provident Institution for Savings, a director
in the Massachusetts Hospital Life Insurance Company, and a director
in the Calumet and Ilecla Alining Company. For many years he was
a vestryman of King's Chapel. He never took an active part in politics,
and never held a political otllce. Daring the late war, hoAvever, he was
intensely interested in the cause of the Union, and was a liberal contributor
to, and for some time treasurer of, the Sanitary Commission.

Jlr. Higginson was of a kind and generous nature. He was pre-
eminent in those qualities which entitle a man to love and respect. He
had been tried by adversity and prosperity, and subdued by neither.
He was liberal with his money, and also with his time. He took the same
generous view of his social, as of his pecuniary obligations ; and whether
as father, friend, trustee, almoner, citizen, or patriot, his duties were
rigidly and cheerfully discharged. His habit of living, like his habit of
giving, was liberal and unostentatious. Au old-fashioned simplicity, in
which he had been bred, he maintained through life, combined with an
unbounded hospitality.^

2. VIII. 15. Henry Lee [Henry 2. VII. 14], born in Bostou. A
banker. Residence : Brookline, Mass.

Colonel Ll'u, IT. C. 183(1, iuinieJiately after g-raduating, went into his
father's counting-room, the firm being Ikillard & Leo, in tlie East India
and the South American trade. After remaining in this business a number
of years, he, in 1851, joined the banking house of Lee, Higginson, & Co.,
of Boston, of which he is now the head. Some thirty years ago he orig-
inated the first safe deposit vault in Boston, of which he is manager, under
the name of the Union Safe Deposit Vaults. Colonel Lee is connected,
as director and otherwise, with many of the financial in.stitutions of Boston,
among them the Provident Institution for Savings, of which he is
president.

During the Rebellion, he was one of those citizens of Boston who
were especially distinguished for conspicuous and consistent loyalty. He
was lieutenant-colonel and aide-de-camp on the staff of Governor Andrew,
from January 12, 1861, to June 9, ISGI, and was distinguished for earnest
service in the formation of regiments in 1861, and for lielpfulness through-
out the war. He is a member of the third class of the Militaiy Order of
the Loyal Legion of the United States, having been elected Sept. 1,
1868.

Colonel Lee is a rare combination of business ability and highly culti-
vated tastes, and is one of the best-kno'^\Ti men in the business and social
life of Boston. He is a member of the Massachusetts Historical Society;
for twenty-eight years he has been one of the overseers of Harvard College ;
for twenty years has been treasurer of tlie Old South Preservation Fund ; for
some years a director of the Bunker Hill Association, and was one of the
founders of the Union Club of Boston, of which he is president.

Colonel Lee has a decided taste for historical and genealogical studies,
and is always one of the foremost in defending the liistorical moimments
of his native city from the encroachment of the inconoclast.

Although not inclined to hold public office, there are few such disin-
terested and public-spirited citizens as he. He represents, in a marked
degree, many of the strong characteristics of the two noted families from
which he descends — the Jacksons and the Lees. He is the fortunate

way of dealing with tliem, and he was a great aid in equipping and officer-
ing regiments for the field.

Essex Historical Society became uniteil as tlie E5;sex Institute. To
the building up of the Essex Institute, he untiringly gave up his life, and
was at his deatli its president, Avhicli position he had held a number of
years. During the latter part of his life he gave less attention to natural
history, devoting hims.lf to local history and genealogy, and was one
of the leading antiquaries of Essex County.

He labored witli rare intelligence, in season and out of season, and
gave tlie impetus to that marked scientific activity for which Salem has
been noted, lie liad drawn about him from time to time, during tlie last
forty years, groups (if studious and ambitious young men, many of whom
he stimulated and promoted, and some of whom have become distinguished
in the scientific -^vorld.

Dr. ^^'^heatland was a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences; one of the oldest members of the Massachusetts Historical
Society ; an original trustee and secretary of the Board of the Peabody
Museum of Archaeology and Etliuology at Cambridge ; a fellow and
auditor for many years of the American Association for the Advancement
of Science; one of the original trustees and vice-president of the Peabody
Academ^'of Science in Salem ; and was connected with other organizations
literary and scientilic.^

Dr. Wheatland had a decided taste for genealogy, and had collected
a large amount of matter relating to the Salem families, concerning the
history of which he was considered an authority. With his material he was
always generous, and was frequently aljle, with his remarkable memory, to
give one's line of descent from the primitive settler down to the present gen-
eration, lie was one of those most interested in the progress of this work,
and to him, more than to any other person, are we indelited for assistance.

On Dec. 28, 1800, he was stricken with paralysis ; but, in spite of this
affliction, he was a remarkable example of cheerfulness and patience. The
heliotype of Dr. Wheatland is taken from his portrait painted by Vinton,
in the possession of the Essex Institute.

His number in direct descent is [17. VIII. 189].

alterations, that he was instrumental in introducing, is to this day used in subordinate
lodges. A man of good bearing and intellectual attainments was rare among the

of his day in his jurisdiction have him to thank for the energy he put into his -nork."

Jliss Mack was a woman of !?;ontle. and ongaghiy manners, and her hos-
pitality was cordial and gi'acefnl. She was philanthropic, and was qnick to
discover and to relieve the needy. She looked below the mere surface of
things, and worked for remote, as well as immediate results, and sought to
apply correctives to poverty, ignorance, idleness, and vice. She gave time
and thought to the promotion of industrial education, and lent sympathetic
aid to whatever measures and methods of social reform that gave the best
promise of raising the standard of individual character.^

Miss i\rack left tlie bulk of her estate to her brother, William ^^lack, dur-
ing his lii't:-, and at his death the sum of thirty-five thousand dollars was to
be given to the xbncricau Unitarian Association, in order to carry out the
wishes of her late sister, Harriet 0. ]\Iack, who, dying intestate, requested that
at the decease of her Itrother and sister seventy thousand dollars of her prop-
erty should be given to said association for the purpose of the ditfnsion of
liberal Clu-istianity, it being the intention of her brother William to make
over to the said association for the same purpose the remaining thirty-five
thousand dollars required to make up the seventy thousand dollars afore-
said. Miss Mack desired that tlie bequest be made in the name of her
sister, Harriet 0. Mack. She gave to her brotlier William her portion of
the estate in North Salem known as "Ledge Hill," trusting that he would
bequeath said estate to the city of Salem for public grounds. She also pro-
vided, after her brother's death, foi- the establishing in Salem of an indus-
trial school for femnles ; but if a similar school should be established in
Salem, then a " Children's Mission to the Children of the Destitute."

Mr. Browne's energetic and active business capacity and prominence in
political and business circles caused his loss to be greatly felt in the com-

into requisition by the national government, which he had served in the
Kavy Agency and other positions in Boston, San Fi-ancisco, and other
places. He was made the Collector of Internal Revenue for the district ot
Salem, on the establishment of that office. His mercantile education was
of the first order, and it enabled him to till with usefulness nnd the highest
acceptance to the government everv office in which he was employed.
The occasional abruptness of his manners, and his palpable detestation of
hypocrisy, not infrequently gave offence to those with whom he was

and twenty years later he became its casliier, a position he held at the time
of his deatli.

He was a man of a retiring- disposition, which always led him to undei'-
rate his own ability in the lines of literary and scientific pursuits. He
became at an early period interested in the study of natural history, and
was a co-laborer with T3r. Wheatland in the Essex County Natural History
Society. He was officially connected with the Essex Institute ever since
its formation, and was one of its most earnest workons. Especially inter-
ested ill botany, he generally made that the topic of his talks at the Field
Meetings of the Institute, and liaving the happy faculty of expressing
himself simply, with as few technical terms as ])ossible, ho was always
interesting and instructive. He wrote for the Essex Institute Bulletin
several papers, one being the result of a short \-isit to Texas, giving a
description of the flora of that State. This paper met with a flattering
reception from those experts who were most qualitied to judge of its merits.
Mr. Phippen was always interested in floriculture, and his garden in Salem
liad for many years more than a local fame. It became a favorite resort of
lovers of flowers, and has been pictured as "an old-fashioned garden " by
artists, its wildness and wealth of bloom and rich coloring making it an
ideal sul^ject for the brush.

Mr. Phippen's interest in local historical research naturally included a
taste for genealogy. His manuscript Phij^pen Genealogy, the work of his
leisure time, is beautifully engrossed and illuminated with coats of arms, etc.
It was the basis of that portion of the Pickei'ing Sheets which relates to the
Phippens. He also has several other genealogies which relate to his own
descent, and he prepared a Saltonstall Pedigree which was printed.

Mr. Phippen was an interesting talker and writer. He never held public
office outside of histoiical and scientific .societies, and in connection with the
Tabernacle Cliurch, of which society he had always been a prominent
member. Mr. and ]\Irs. Phippen celebrated their golden wedding in 1890.^

27). YIII. 255. Marcia Peirce [Joseph H. 25-2G. VIT. 143], born
in Boston, died in Boston.

Mrs. Blanchard was an intelligent woman of much business capacity,
and was of great assistance to her husband, whose life was to a great extent
absorbed in his inventions. See the account of the Misses Peirce under
[25. YIII. 254] pages 575-57G.

25. VIII. 2o6. Thomas Blanchai'd, her husband, born in Sutton,
Mass., died in Boston. An inventor. Residence: Boston.

Mr. Blanchard was undoubtedly one of the most remarkable inventors
which this counti-y has produced. Others have made single inventions
which have attracted more public notice than any one of his, but probably
no other inventor has produced so many different labor-saving machines
that have contributed largely to the common necessities of litV. There is
not an armor\' in this country or in England where guns are made, hardly
a human being who wears boots or shoes, scarcely a vessel that sails upon
the ocean, not a school where slates are used, not a caiiiet laid down, that
does not owe tribute to the genius of Thomas Blanchard. The same may
be said of innumerable other articles in common use.

He was brought up on his father's farm, and he was not considered a
very promising youth by his neighbors, owing possibly to his habit of
staiinneriiig-. When he was thirteen years old he showed some signs of his
genius by inventing an apple-parer. When he was eighteen years old he
entered his brother Stejihen's tack factory at West ^Millljurv. Here he was
put to heading tacks by liand. But this method was too slow for him, and

578 THE FICKERING GENEALOGY.

in a few months lie luul invented a machine that made tacks at one motion.
So perfect was this macliine in design and constrnction that it was operated
over twenty years ; and no essential imjirovemcnt has since been made
upon it. This invention drew towards him the attention of Asa "Waters,
whose armory ^vorks were bnt a few miles distant, and who was then engaged
in improving the English mode of making gun-barrels. He had succeeded
in turning them so far as they were round, but to turn the irregular shape
of the butt batlied him. At length he sent to Blanchard to come to his
ai-mory. His unprepossessing appearance did not create a favorable im-
pression on those present. He was shown the machine, however, and told
what was wanted. Glancing his eye over it, ho very soon suggested an
additional cam-motion, simple, but wholly original, which, on being applied,
was found to relieve the difficulty, and which proved a perfect success. Mr
Waters was delighted, and, turning to him, said: ""Well, Thomas, I don't
know what you won't do next. I would not be surprised if you turned a
gunstock," naming that as the most impossible thing in mechanics he could
think of. Blanchard stammeringly answered: " W^ell, I'll try that,'' which
caused a loud laugh from the workmen assembled. This cam-motion was
introduced into all the armories in the United States, and has been in use
ever since, and saves at least a half a dollar on everv gun made. So far as
can be learned, Blanchard never gained much profit from this invention.

The germ of the stocking machine foi- making gunstocks lay in that cam-
motion ; and it was then, as he afterwards said, that the idea of his world-
renowned machine for turning irregular forms first flashed through his mind,
although it required some months to elaborate it. Blanchard was soon
called to tlie Springfield armory to adjust similar cam-motions, and it was
on his return, when alone in his carriage, that the perfection of his machine
dawned upon him, and he was heard by passers-by to exclaim, " I 've got it '
1 've got it ! I 've got it ! " He sold his tack machine for five thousand dol-
lars, built a shop, filled it with tools, and kept himself locked in it for two
years. At last he emerged and brought to the armory at ilillbury a min-
iature model of his machine for making gunstocks. A full-sized working
machine was made in Millbury. and set up in the armory, Avhere it con-
tinued in operation about twenty years. One was built ami set up at the

EIGHTH GEXLRATIOX. 579

Xational Armory at Spriiintiuld ; and .several of the niacliincs were ordered
bv the Briti.s]i goveniment. and continued in succes-sful operation for many
voars. Bkmchard was somu requested by the "War Department to take the
whole supervision of stocking tlio g-uns at the Springfield armory. He pro-
ceeded to make contrivances for mortising into the stock each part of the
gun. To mortise in the lock by a machine was declared an impossibility;
but he accomplished it. The contrivance he made was a marvel of in-
genuity, especially the cutter. The number of uses now made of this
contrivance in making impressions to any given model in die-sinking, etc.,
is legion.

llis lathe was soon brought into use for all irregular form. At the
Exhibition Universelle in Paris, in 1857, he exhibited his machine ; and
nothing in the whole exhibition excited more sui-prise than the use he put
it to in turning out marble busts of life-size, or any size, of the nobilities of
France. Like most inventors, he was continually harassed by infringe-
ments of his patent, and all Europe was scoured by the counsel of the
infringers to find evidence of a similar motion. But in no age, and in no
country, could a trace be found of a revolving cutter working to any given
models like Blanchard's.

Having mastered the job of stocking guns wholly by machinery, he left
the armory and devoted himself to other inventions. He invented a new
construction of steamboats to tide over rapids and shallow waters, by means
of which hundreds of miles were added to the navigable waters of our
AVestern rivers. He then removed to Boston, and bought the house on Tre-
mont Street formerly occupied by Judge Story, where he spent the
remainder of his days. He devised a process to bend heavy timber for
•ship-building. He attained such a perfection in this machine that it would
bend a shingle to a right angle and leave it as strong at the angle as in any
])art. He invented the oval slate-frame now in common use. He intro-
duced a mode of making tlie handles of shovels by steam-bending-, which
saved just one half the timber and made a far more durable handle. The
eccentric lathe proved to be far more than the invention of a simple machine
for a single purpose, as is the reaper and the sewing-machine ; for it had a
general and unlimited application. It was really a discovery of a new prin-

ciplc ill niccliaiiifs, \\ iiL-rcb}' the iiiaclunc works out a clesign of any given
model, be it round or square, straight or crooked, and reproduces the origi-
nal form in every case. All of the work done by his machines bad perfect
uniformity ; and, after their introduction into the national armory, they led
to an entirely new system of manufacture called the "uniformity system."
This system has since been adopted by the several watch companies. An
expert of long- experience in patent cases writes, '• It wtndd be difficult, and,
so far as I know, entirely impracticable to make small arms ... to have
their parts interchange without Blanchard's invention," and this view is cor-
roborated by the fact that tliev are iVmnd in every establishment wdiere
such arms are made. For some of his contrivances, such as mortising the
locks, no substitute has ever been found.

Eventually the impediment of his speech was overcome, and, by the aid
of books and social intercourse, the disadvantages of his early education
were surmounted.^

Mrs. Holland's childhood and early married life were passed in her
native city. Having lost their property, she and her husband moved to
New York City ; but, after liis death, she returned with her children to
Boston. Here she continued to live until the month of August, 1844, when
she removed to Chelsea, and slie continued to reside there in the same
house until her death, a period of nearly half a century.

Mrs. Holland was a notable housekeeper, and she had great fondness for
gardening as v/ell as for animals. She was hospitable, and loved to be
surrounded by her kindred and friends : and they all loved to be near her,
for she had an tmcommon power of attracting and pleasing. This power
was felt by those in the hmnblest as well as by those in the highest walks
of life. She vi-as never idle. When not engaged in the management of her
household aifairs, she was either employed wntli her needle, with which she
was very skilful, in reading, or in writing to abswit kindred or friends.
Her correspondence was continued up to the last week of her life, and the
number of letters she wrote was surprising.

Mrs. Holland had remarkable powers of observation, and these, com-
bined witli an excellent memory, made her a very entertaining companion.
Her reminiscences of old Boston were very interesting. She was a constant
reader of the Boston Evening Transcript, and took great pleastire in occa-

Physically, ^Irs. Holland ^vas a very strong woman, and was perfectlv
erect until within a few years of her death. She was tall and of command-
ing presence, embodying in an unusual degree the old time dignity and
grace. She never lost hur charm of manner, her beautv, or the rare sweet-
ness of her disposition. All these seemed to increase with age. Ikit age was
never associated with her in the minds of her friends, for her interest in
passing events, aiul in the young-, added to by her bright, buovant spirit,
never ceased. The dignity and strength of her character were felt by all
who came into her presence.

Mrs. Holland passed through life uncomplainingly, and bore its vicissi-
tudes witb.out a murmur. She never under any circumstance lost her self-
respect, and her heroic spirit was admired by all.^

in trade witli the natives. For tliree and a half years the Griftbn continued
her trading among tlie harbors, ishinds, and straits along the coast of British
Columbia and Alaska. During this voyage he made a careful study of the
natives, and of the natural resources, climate, etc., of the countries which
he visited. On her return to Honolulu, young Peirce left the vessel, and
entered the niercantlle house of James Ilunnewell, of Honolulu, as clerk.
In 1830, Mr. Hiuinewell returned home to Charlestou-n, Mass., and Mr.
Peirce continued the business upon liis own account for many years, and
with great profit. In December, 1835, a co-partnership was formed by Mr.
Peirce and Captain Charles Brewer, who had commanded Mr. Peirce's ves-
sels in their voyages to China and the Russian possessions. The firm of
Peirce & Brewer conducted a general merchandise and commission business
at Honolulu until the year 1843, when Mr. Peirce retired with an accumu-
lation of one hundred thousand dollars, being then but thirty-five 3'ears old.
He returned to Boston, and from 1842 to 1849 he was largely engaged in
foreign ti-ade in that city. He afterwards entered into a partnership with
James Hunnewell and Charles Brewer, and engaged in the Honolulu and
San Francisco trade. The partnership continued four years. The begin-
ning of the civil war, in 1861, found Mr. Peirce with a fleet of ships scat-
tered upon every sea. Subsequent disaster to this class of property aft\-cted
his financial affairs. During the civil war he assisted Go^■ernor Andrew
and others in recruiting several regiments and in sending them into the
field. Among these regiments may be named the Ninth, Twelfth, Four-
teenth, and Fiftv-third, and the Fifty-fourth, colored.

Despairing of recovering his fin-tune in mercantile business, and anxious
to demonstrate the jiracticability of the free labor of the emancipated colored
people of the South, he, in company with his old friends, R. B. Forbes and
John P. Cushing, of Boston, bought a plantation in Mississippi; but the
venture was not successful.

In 1837, Mr. Peirce was appointed, b}' the Govermnent of Peru, Peruvian
Consul at Honolulu. This position he held until 1841. From 1856 to
1869, he was consul of the Hawaiian Kingdom at the ports of Boston,
Portsmouth, X. H., and Portland, Elaine. In May, 1869, he was appointed
United States Minister, resident at the Hawaiian Islands. His official resi-

Mr. Peirce retained his otlice of minister in Honolulu until October,

the change of climate told upon his health, and he soon returned to San
Francisco, where, with tlie exception of several visits Ivist, he contiiuied to
reside until his death.

IMr. Peirce made a visit to Europe in 184-1. In 185(), he succeeded his
father as a mendjer of the Ma-sachi;setts Society of the Cincinnati, and was

"When quite young, Jlr. Kettell went with his father on several voyage??,
wliicli enlarged his views of the operations of general commerce. On leav-
ing school, he entered the wholesale hardware store of J. & E. Phillips, of
Boston, where he continued for many years, until his desire for a more
extended business induced him to visit Europe. After visiting most of the
capitals of Europe in the irivestigatio'.i of the course and general operations
of international commerce, with a view to reconcile the practical workings
of trade with the principles of the economist, he returned and settled in
New York. It was a time when his natural qualities, enlarged and matured
by extensive observation and untiring research, enabled him to appreciate
with great accuracv the position of financial atTairs throughout the world,
and particularly the unhealthy state of affairs which existed in this country.
At this tune he began a series of articles in the New York Herald upon
the monetary atfairs of the comitry. These displayed an ability that soon
attracted general attention, not only throughout the United States, but in all
the commercial cities of the world ; and during six 5-ears, down to the close
of 1843, they acquired an almost oracular authority. The clearness of his
dictiiin, the accuracy of his views, and the sagacity of his remarks, fully
and promptly sustained by events as they transpired, tixed the attention of

ner the late Deacon Moses Grant. About 18-10, he removed to Chelsea,

regularly appeared with them at the annual fall paiades, until within four
years of his deatli. On these occasions his appearance in the i-anks, with firm
step, erect and vigorous, was one of the most striking features of the parade.

In the early part of the War of 1S12, he was on board one of the Salem
privateers which had an engagement with the eneniy. On his return from
privateering, he resumed his connection with the Cadets, and was frequently
drafted or detailed for coast-guard dut}-, to which the militia were then
subject.

Mr. Bosson was one of the oldest admitted momliors of St. Peters Epis-
copal Church, Salem, but he afterwards became identified with the Baptist
Church.

]\Ir. Hunt's early life was spent at sea. lie was one of the cyoay of the
famous ship " George," a vessel from which so many of Salem's shipmasters
graduated. He afterwards cugaged in the New Orleans, Liverpool, Russian,
African, and East India trade. He entered the employ of A. A. Low, and
was chief officer under Captain N. B. Palmer, of the ship Hongua, on her
first voyage to Canton, China. His ship was one of the earliest of the clip-
per ships. In l.'^42, he left the Hongua and started an express boat for
carrying de^-})atches between Canton and its i)ort, Wliampoa, a distance of
some twebe miles on the river. The river was thickly invested with
pirates, and the ordinary ship's boats were attacked and robbed. ^Mr.
Hunt won the conildence of the mercantile comnmnity, and by his
fearlessness and tireless energy, condjined vv'ith his tact in dealing with
the natives, he soon gained such a I'eputatlon tlir.t his boats were seldom
attacked either night or day. From this beginning, he entered into the
ship-chandlery business, with hulks for storage, and packet boats between
Hong Kong, Whamjioa, and Canton. About 1851, he returned home
with an ample foi'tune, having sold his business to James llridges Endi-
cott [5. VITT. 37] and J. P. Cook, both from Salem. Following the
example of many who made their wealth in the Orient, he lost a large
portion of it at home. He returned to China in iNaO-lSGO, and entered
into the employ of Augustine Heard tt Co., at Hong Kong. After re-
maining there three years, he returned to Salem, making but one more
visit to China, and that for pleasure, a year or two previous to his death.
i\Ir. Hunt was a man of marked characteristics. He had an active mind
and keen perceptions, and overcame the want of his early educational
advantages by wide reading, and b}- his interest in all the progressive
movements in the political and sociological \vorIi|. His warm and hearty
nature endeared him to his friends, and to all who came in r(~intact with
him. He held no public office except as marshal of the United States
Consulate at Canton.^

The following- obituary of 3Ir. Dowst is taken from the Salera Register
of July 6, 1885. It was copied from a California pajier: —

"Mr. Wesley Barton Dowst, a native of Salem, died at Merced, California, on
Thursday morning, June 18, after suffering for montlis with rheumatism, ilr. Dowst
was a pioneer stage-driver of the Yosemite Stage Company, and during his long
experience lie made the acquaintance of many celebrities from all parts of the world,
and tourists visiting the Yosemite for the second time would frequently send woid
in advance, requesting that Jlr. Dowst should take them through. He was genial
in temperament, travelled with his eyes open, had an almost inexhaustible fund of
illustrative anecdote, and knew how to tell a story. His retentive memory of mcTi
and incidents made him a sort of standard in matters of local liistory, and he was
often appealed to in order to settle questions in doubt as to historical matters relative
to the Yosemite region ; and nobody thought of doubting any statement received
from him. He could tell of the distinguished parties he had conducted, and relate
what they had said of their impressions of the famous valley and its approaches,
and give quantity of entertaining stories of C}iisoJes which had come within his
exjierience or oliservation."

Mr. Dowst went to California in 1849, and is probably the "Wesley
Dowst" who is named in an article on the "Strong Men of Salem in the
Past," printed in the Salem Observer of Aug. 4, 1877. In that article an
account is given of the great strength of his granduncle William Dowst.
Of W^esley Dowst, it states that he lives in Stockton, Cah, and measures

graduation, he entered the Newton Theological School, and remained there
until 1848. lie then accepted an invitation to sup})ly the pulpit of the
Baptist Church of Salisbu.rv and Aniesburv. Ilis services gave so nutch
satisfoction, that he received from the society an unanimous vote to become

Professor Peirce, PI. C. 1829, devoted himself deeply to mathematics
while in college, carr\-ing his study far beyond the then narrow limits of
the college course. He attended the lectures of Francis Grand in the
higher mathematics; and he frequently visited Dr. Bowditch, from whom
he received most valuable instruction in geometry and analysis, as well as
important direction in the development of his scientific powers. At this
lime Dr. Bowditch employed the young scholar to read the ])ro<ifs of his
translation of La Place's "Mecanicjue Celeste," and predicted that he would
l>ecome the iirst mathematician of his age. It was said that in the class-
room he not infrequently gave demonstrations that were not in the text-
book, but were more direct, summary, or pin-ely scientific than those in the

he was appointed to that chair, which he held until his death. At tliat
time he had been connected \\\\\\ the university for a longer period tlian
any other person except Ilenr}' Flynt, whose term of otifice was fifty-five
years, — his beinir nearly fifty years.

The pursuit ('f niatheinatics as a living science was the ambition of his
life. lie was frequeiuly called upon to assist in niatters connected with the
United States coast siu'vey. In 1850, on the foundation of the American
Ephemeris and Xautical Almanac, by the United States Government, he
was made the director of the theoretical department of tliat work, with the
title of consulting astronomer. This positioti he lield until 1867. From
1852 to 18G7, he had the direction of the longitude determination of the
United States coast survey. In 186 7, he was appointed to the oflice of
superintendent, and in 1874, he resigned, vrhen he was appointed consulting
geometer to the survey.

Trigonometry" [1836]. publislied in a single volume in later editions;
" Elementary- Treatise on Sound " [1836] ; '' Elementary Treatise on Plane

44. Vill. -;:'6''5. Jonathan Iiif/crsoU Jioicdlfc/i, her husband, born

Mr. Bowditch iidierited, more ampl)' than any other member of his
family, his father's love and aptness for mathematical science ; but after his
school days were over, he entered upon a mercantile career, which for
many yean left him scanty leisure for scientific pursuits, except when at
sea, and then, of course, with limhed access to books and none to teachers.

On or about the time of the removal of the famil}' from Salem to Boston,
in 1823, he began business as a clerk in the counting-room of ^Messrs. Ropes
& Ward, East India merchants, and iii their service he made several
voyages as supercargo. During these voyages }>h\ I'^owditch made diligent
iise of his father's '' Practical Navigator," taking observations and keeping
the shi})'s reckoning. At the same time, bv well chosen books and well
directed courses of reading, he supjdied in no small degree what in his
earlier culture fell short of a liberal education.

In 1836, he became president of the American Insurance Company in
Boston, and held that office until Jan. 1, 1SG4, retaining his place on the

boanl of directors until 1884. lie was a member of the Massacluisotts
Hospital Lite Insiu'anco Company, a member of its finance conunittee, and
at times acted as its actuary. Of this company, liis fatlier had been one of
the founders and its first actuary.

]\Ir. I'owditch was distinL;-ui.-hed as a man of business, not only by integ-
rity (if the most ri^id tyjje, but diually by promptness, energy, efficiency,
and a practical wisdom closely akin to intuition. For these qualities his
services were sought as a director in institutions of all kinds, financial,
industrial, and charitable; and, mimerous as were the trusts thus devolved
upon him, lie never sul'lered one of them to be a sinecure, though very
many of them involved the gratuitous bestowal of a large amount of time
and labor. In addition to all these public interests, Mr. Bowditch for
many years had tlie management of large and important private trusts,
and especiallv of estates of widows and orphans.

After his father's death, ^iv. Bowditch assumed the editorship of frequent
successive editions of the " Practical Xavigator," making such corrections
and new calculations as were needed, until the copyright was purchased by
the United States Government, and so became public property. He erected
a private astronomical observatory at his sunnner residence at Canton, and
early interested himself in the Observatory of Harvard College, and ren-
dered important aid to its administration. He also took an active mterest
in various other departments of tlie university, — in the erection of Memo-
rial Hall, and in the ^fedical and I'ivinity Schools. Tlie university recog-
nized Mr. hiowditch's long and varied services, and his claim to high regard
for scholarly and scientific attainments, by conferring on him the degree of
blaster of Arts in 1849, and that of Doctor of Laws on its two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary, in 1887.

^Ir. Bowditch was a member of the Corporation of the iNlassachusetts
Institute of Technology, and a member of its ilnancial committee. He was
deeply interested in the Boston Asylum and Farm School, and served botli
as its president and treasurer. During the Irish famine of 184(1 and 1847,
ho was a very active member of the relief committee, and its treasurer. Ihu

Honor and p\irity were always manifested in his relations with society and

Bishop Kniglit entered Burlington Ccdloge, N. J., in January, 1850,
where he thruw two years' work into one, enlering v/ith special interest upon
the study of languages, for which he had much taste and aptitude. In
1851, he entered the General Theological Seminary, New York. He
graduated in ls54, and was ordained deacon, July 2, of the same year, in
Trinity Church, New York, b}' the Bight Bev. Bishop Y7ainwright. He
spent some time as assistant to tlie Rev. Dr. Rodney, of St. Luke's Church,
Germantown, Pa., and was oi'dained there to the priesthood by the Eight
Eev. Bishop Alonzo Potter, in ISuo. Soon after this, he went to England,
travelling there and on the continent, and attending several courses of
lectures at Oxford. Yddle in England, he was offered a living by the
then Duke of Northumberland, who, with his duchess, extended to him
marked courtesies. On his return to America, in 1857, he became rector of
St. Mark's Clmrch, Boston, after some service at the Cluirch of the Advent.
E[e found St, ^Marie's in a decayed condition, but his energy, taste, and
skill soon accomplished a much needed reform. A new chiuxdi Avas in
time built, VN-hicli he was able to leave, at the end of his rectorship, unen-
cumbered by debt.

A noticeable feature of his character was the conti'ast between his minute
care as to the accessories of Avorship and his apparel, and his perfect indif-
ference to dress on secular occasions. No care was too great when he was
to serve in the chancel, but on other occasions he cared little whether his
dress was threadbare or not.

In the year 1870, Mr. Knight accepted the rectorship of the parish of
the Incarnation (now that of St. James), in Hartford, Conn. Here he made

years as a member of the committee of finance in that bodv. lie was
twice sent as a representative of the American Chnrch to the Canadian
Svuod. In ISiiO, he was made Master of Arts by Ihshops' College,
Canada, and, in 1885, Doctor of Civil Law by the same college. The
degree of Doctor of Saci'ed Tlieolog}- ^vas conferred up.in him 1j\- t^vo
American colleges.

Bishop Knight was distinguished for his zeal and ability in the
advancement of the Episcopal Chnrch in America ; and in Church
liistory, or ecclesiastical law, there was very little which he did not fully
understand.

In person. Bishop Knight was not over middle height. His features
were singularlv well chiselled. His eyes were dark blue, sparkling with
kindliness, or, as was very often the case, lighted up v.ith humor, v/hile
his voice had remarkable richness and snK)Ot]iness, and there was much
magnetic power in it.^

Having lost both of jici- parents in early childhood, Mrs. Winthrop was
brought up in the family of h.er granduncle, and guardian, S;unuel Picker-
ing Gardner, of Boston.

Tlio following is quoted from an obituary notice of Mrs. Winthrop
which was printed in the Boston Daily Advertiser of June 17, 1842:

" Mrs. Winthrop possessed an intellect of uncommon clearness and brightness, an
acuteness of perception, a decision of purpose, and a correctness of judgment that are
rarely found united; and \\-ithal there was a vivacity of manner and a brilliancy of
thought which rendered lior an object of extreme interest to all who have listened to
her i-ieh and varied conversation."

A miniature of Jlrs. "Winthroj), b}' Hill, is in the possession of her
family.

48. VIII. oSJf- Itohevt Charles Winthrop, her husband, born in
Boston. Hesidcnces : Boston and Brookline, Z\Iass.

Mr. "Winthrop was educated at the Boston Latiii School and at Harvard
College, where he graduated, with high honors, in 1828. After studying
law with Ihmiel Webster, he was admitted to the bar in 1831, but .soon
after, he entered public life. He n-as much interested in the Massachusetts
Militia, and served as the commander of the Boston Light Infantry, as an
ofHcer of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, and as aide-de-
camp of Governors D:ivis, Armstrong, and Everett. From 1835 to 1840,
he was a member of the I^Iassachusetts House of Representatives, and
during the last three years he was chosen its speaker. In 1840, he was
elected to Congress from Boston (then a single district), whicli he continued
to represent until 1850, with the exception of a few months in l.'^42, when

a family alllictiuii caufttjd him tenipttrarily to rutire. He was Speaker of
tlie ThirtiL'th Congress (1847-1 >^ti)j, but failed of a re-election after a pro-
tnioted contest. In July, 1S.VJ, he succeeded Welister in the United States
Senate, but he lost his seat in that body the following- year, owing- to a
coalition of Democrats and Free-soilers in the .Massachusetts Legislature
which sent Charles Sumner in his place. In the autumn of 1851, he was
the Whig candidate for governor, and received a large plurality of the
popular vote, but the constitution then requiring a majoi-ity over all other
candidates, the election was thrown into the Legislature, where Mr. "\Vin-
throp was defeated by the same coalition. In 1852, he was cliairman of
the Electoral College which cast the vote of Massachusetts for General
Scott. He declined to be again a candidate foi' governor or senator, thoun-h
both offices were subsequently within his reach. Upon the dissolution of
the "Whig party, he })referred to retire permanentlv from public life, and
devote himself to historical, philanthropic, educational, and religious under-
takings. In the presidential campaign of ISGO and 18C4, however, ho
actively supported John Bell and General McClellan ; but after that time
he took no part in politics.

Asa representative of ^lassachusetts in Washington, he was opposed to
the extension of slavery, and supported the right of petition to Congress.
But valuing the Union of the United States above all things, not believing
in the Free Soil views, he could not bring himself to support the Repub-
lican partv, when that partv came into existence. He was naturally a con-
servative, and, exempt as he wa.s from Impulses which carry men on untried
paths, he deplored the breach between the North and the South which
ended in the civil war.

For thirty years ]\Ir. Winthrop was president of the Massachusetts His-
torical Society, for twenty-iive years president of the Boston Provident
Association, for eight years president of the Alumni of Harvard College,
besides serving as an overseer of the university, as chairman of the Over-
seers of the Poor of Boston, and in many other posts of dignity and useful-
ness. He was the chosen counsellor of the late George Peabody In several
of his public benefactions, and was, iVom Its foundation, at the head of the
great Peabody Trust for Southern Education, and of the Peabody Museum

ofArcluToloyy and JLtliuoloyy at Canibrid-e. Mr. Wintlirop early acquired
a reputation I'or eloquence, and was long- associated in the public mind as a
favorite orator on great historical anniversaries. Among the most admired
of his productions were, his address on laying the corner-stone of the
National Monxunent at Wasliington, in 1848, and one on the completion of
the same moniuncnt. in 1885; his oration on the 250th Anniversary of the
Landing of the Pilgrims, delivered at Plyniontli, in 1870; his Boston
Centennial Oration, July 4, 187G ; his address on unveihng the statue of
Colonel ^yilliam Pi'escott at Puid^er Hill, in ISSl, and in the same year his
orntion on the anniversary of the surrender of Co'nwaliis at Yorktown,
delivered by invitation of Congress. He also excelled in shorter and less
formal utterances, and a patriotic hymn anonymously printed by him during
the war obtained a wide circulation. lie was the author of four volumes
of Addresses and Speeches [1S52-18SG], of two volumes of the Life
and Letters of John Winthrop [18G4-18G7]. of '-Washington, Bowdoin,
and Franklin" [1S7G], and of numerous occasional productions, some of
wliich are printed in the Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical
Society. The degree of LL.D. was conferred on ^Ir. Winthrop by Boav-
doin College in 1840, by Harvard College in 1855, and by the University
of Cambridge, England, in 1874.

He married, for his second wife, Nov. 6, 1849, Elizabeth Laura "Welles,
widow of Arnold F. Welles, of Boston, and daughter of John and Eleanor
(Coflin) Derb}-, of Salem. She was born in Salem, Feb. 0. 1811, and died
in Boston, April 26, 1861. His third wife, whom he married Nov. 15, 1865,
was Cornelia Adeline Thayer, widow of John Eliot Thayer, of Boston, and
daughter of tlie Hon. Francis Granger, of Canandaigua, N. Y. She died at
Brookline, June 16, 1892. He had issue by his iirst marriage only.

EIGHTH GENERATION. 689

Mr. I'ox, Dartnioulh Colk-ge, 1.^31, was fiUol Ibr colleg-e al the Frauces-
tf)\vn Academy, ami under the j)rivate tuition of" the Kev. Arehiljald
I'uir^-oss, of Ilancoel;, N. H. On h^aviny colh^-^'e he at once entered u[)on
the study of the hiw, and was admitted to tlic bar in JSepteudjcr, 1831.
'I'he hist year of prejiaration for liis profession ^vas passed at Xaslma, in the
olliee of the Hon. Daniel Abhott, whose daughter he afterwards married.
Mi became Mr. Abbott's partner iu 1834, and continued as such until he
died.

^Iv. Fox was count_y solicitor tVom 1835 to 1844; a representative in
tlie l^cg'islature in 1S37, and one of a commitLee to revise ihe New Ilamp-
sliire statutes in 18 11 and 1842. He -was also li-easurer of the Nashua and
Lowell Railroad, and a connnissiorjer of bankruptcy. His name, in fact, is
connected with all tlie pttblic improvements of his State at tliat time. He
was an earnest friend of popular education, and employed his i)en and voice
assiduously in its behalf. The asylum for the iiisanc at Concord owes as
much to him for its success as to any n^an in the Stale. He was much
interested in the condition of criminals and the modes of treaiing- them, and
availed himself of his experience as county solicitor to collect facts upon
prison discipline, and especially to urge the importance of providing-
ajjpropriato places for juvenile offenders, ai)ai't from the society of men
hardened in crime. The first railroad of the State was indebted much to
him for his zeal in i-emoving- obstacles to its completion, and fidelity in dis-
charging the duty of one of the most important of its offices. The revising
the laws of Xew Hampshire was an arduous task, the burden of which fell
upon the two junior commissioners, and ^Ir. Fox perforiued his portion
witli faithfulness and ability.

lu connection with the Rev. Samuel Osgood, minister of the Unitarian
Church at Nashua, he undertook the compilatic.n of the ''New Hampshire
liook," wliich was intended to give specimens of the literature of that
^iatc. Mr. Fox sliowed great research in the materia'i which he furnished
l"r this volume. It was published in 1842. He wrote the "History of
the Old Township of Dunstal4e," which was published iu 1S4G, and was
the autlior of the " 'i'own Officer."

Mr. I-'ox intellectually was remarkable for his accuracy and for the

(190 Tin: riCKERixG gexealogy.

breadth of his infonnation. He was a man of extensive learning, ahke in
legal lore and in elegant literature. Few young men were better veised in
the old English poets than he, and he wrote many poems. His religious
convictions were very decided. He was for years the earnest teacher of a
class of youths of advanced age in the Sunday school, and after they had
left the school, he watched over their course with great interest.^

Mr. Fox was a son of Jedediah and Sarah (^Yheekn■) Fox, of Antrim,
N. H. His ancestry includes the followhig families : Fox, Stone, Merriam,
Dudley, Wheeler, Brooks, Butlertield. See Axcestey Tables {™-^u

and was prepared for college at the age of ten years, but waited till he w as

admitted to the bar in 1818. In 1819, he went to Arkansas, and remained
there for some time. From 18'J6 to 1831, he was clerk of the Senate of
New Hampshire. For manv j'ears he was cashier of tlie Ashuehit Bank of
Keene. In 18-19, he was elected governor of Ne\v Hampshire, and was

office of governor three terms.

Governor Dinsmoor was of a pccidiarlv genial temperament, and his
society was sought by the cultivated and thoughtful."

that she ignored; no person, however humble, who apjilicd to her, but
received Iter sympathy and help. Her manifold charities were not formal
duties to be hurried over, l)ut \vero occasions of ministering to tlie weari-
ness of the spirit, as vrell as the necessities of the bodj-. A gentle courtesy
and a disinclination for controversy hid in some degree a strong character,

]5o3ton and Ivoxbnry, ^las.s.

Lieutenant Putnam went to Europe, when ele\en years old, for his
education, and remained, there more tliiin seven years, passed chiefly in
France, Germany, and Italy, with occa:^ional jouniL'^'s into other countries.

Announcing- his death to his friends in France, \h-. Guepin, of Nantes,
thus writes of him : —

"Lowell Piiliiaiu was tiiirteeu years olJ wheri we saw liiui for the first time. lit-
was channing iti person, I'u!! of life, and of so remarkable a loyalty tluit lie did not
think falsehood possible. . . . We made a tour thruugii JJi-ittany with William and
his parents. During the whole excursion, ho inspired us with the liveliest interest.
. . . One asked which would at last take the ascendancy in him, love of art, or the
sjiirit of investigation, imagination or philosophy. ... Ho left France for Germany,
very well prepared; already knowing several languages, and acquainted with tlie
origin of the European peoples, and their migrations. His studies in Germany and
Italy wei'e serious, llis letters to us from this latter country, u])on the Etruscans,
ujion Rome and the Campagna, upon Naples, were much beyond his years."

His knovrlodge of Etruscan art was perhaps not excelled by any
Aiuerican scliolar.

After his return to the United States in the autumn of ISoS, lio applied
hiiuself to acquirino- a knowledge of his own land, witli the same zeal and
method with which he had studied foreign countries. After two years
spent in study and travel, he began reading hnv, ;ind, in ^Farch, ISGl,
entered the Harvard Law School.

On the breaking out of the civil war, lie volunteered his services, and
was conuuissionod second lieutenaiU of the Tweutieth IJegiment of .Uassa-
chusetls Volunteers, July 10, 1861. He fell in the battle of Ball's Tduff,
Va., Oct. 21, 1S61. In the official report of tlie battle. Adjutant-General
Scliouler records his death in these words : " Lieut. Putnam, 'the ye^'ung,
the beautiful, and the bi'ave,' was killed."^

Professor Pickering graduated in the civil engineering course of the
Lawrence Scientific School in J8G5, and from 18G5 to 18C7 he taught
mathematics in the same sciiool. From 1SG8 to 187T, lie was professor
of jdiysics in the Massachusetts Institute of TecIinolog\-. In 18T6, ho
Avas appointed Director and Philli]is Professor of Astronomy in the
Astronomical Observatory of Harvard College; and, in 1S87, lie Avas
apjpointed Director and Paine Professor in the Observator)', a position
which he still holds. Professor Pickering devised plans foi' the physical
laboratory in the Institute of Teclnmlogv, and introduced the experi-
mental methods of teaching ph\sics, at a time when this mode of instruc-
tion had not been adopted elsewhere. His scientiiic AMok while there
consisted largely of researclics in physics, chiefly in the jiolarization of
light and the laws of its reflection and dispersion. He also described a
new form of sp>,-ctrum telescope, and, in IS TO, invented a sound-
receiver which he exhibited at one of a course of eighteen lectures on
Sound, which he delivered in the Lowell Free Course at the Institute
of Technology, during the winter of 1860-1870. He ol>served the total

Coast Survey Expedition \o Spain to observe the ei-lipse of the sun in
LSTO. lie went to Europe in 18S3 to attend the meeting of the Astrono-
mische Gesellschaft in Vienna, and to visit observatories. While under his
management, tlie Abtroi^miical Observatur}' at Cambridge has become one
of tlie foremost in the world. Its endowment and income has quadrujded,
and Professor Pickering now has forty assistants under his direction. His
principal work since his connection -with the Observatory has been the
determination of the bnghtness of the stars, and the .successful application
of pliotography to astronomical research. He has prepared catalogues
giving the brightness of about thirty-eight thousand stars. He has also
made photometric measurements of Jupiter's satellites, and of the sat-
ellites of Mars. Professor Pickering has also interested himself in deter-
mining the height of mountains, the i-esult of which have in part been
contributed to the Appalachian Club, of which he was president in 1877
and in 1882. He has received five gold medals, viz. : one from the Massa-
chusetts Charitable Mechanic Association for great progress in stellar pho-
tometry; one, in 1886, from the Roval Astronomical Society of London for
a catalogue on " Lights of Stars," which was the work of three years ; one,
in 1887, from the Photographic Congre.ss of Vienna; in 1887, the Draper
Medal from the National Academy of Science, for his work on astronomi-
cal physics; and, in 1891, the Piumford 3Iedal from the American Academy
of Arts and Sciences. Professor Pick:rii;g's .scientitl': writings are numer-
ous and valuable, "Elements of Physical Manipulation" [1ST3-187G],
being among them.

He received the honorar}- degree of A.^I. from Harvard College in
1880, and that of LL.D. from the University of California in ISSC, and
from the University of Michigan in 1887. He is a fellow of the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences ; a mendjer of the X;itional Academy of
Science ; of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, of
which he was elected vice-president in 187G; and an honoraiy member
of the Pioyal Astronomical Society of London, and of other foreign and
American scientific societies.^

deal of attention to the study of mountains, publishing the most complete
map of the M'ount Washington Range ever issued. Since his connection
with the Observator}', he has made great advances in this science. His
work has been pa-Incipally in connection v/ith the Pioyden Fund for the
establishment of observatories at high altitudes. He h.as devoted himself
more particularly to studies of the planets, and to the application of
photography to astronomy, and takes a verv high stand in that branch of
science. In 1878, he observed the total solar eclipse in Coloi-ado ; in 188G,

59. VIIT. 743. Jolm Robinson [Lncy P. 59. YII. 347], liorn in
Salem. Residence : Salem.

Mr. Robinson received his education in the public schools of Salera and
under a private tutoi'. After leaving school, he spent several years as clerk
in a bushiess office in Boston, but Jibandoned this situation to accept a
position more in line \\h]\ his tastes. While yet a lad he became interested
in the v,-ork of the Essrx Institute, and perhaps he is one of the best
examples of (he influence exercised by the late Dr. Wheatland [17. VIII.
189] in leading- young men to take up scientific and histoi-ical pursuits.
Ijegbming- as a youtlifnl collector of coins and articles of local historical
interest, he became interested in the study of botany, and soon became
prominent in this line of research. His papers, prepared for the Institute,
niade his name known outside of Essex County ; and his volume on the

EIGHTH GEXERATIOX. 745

Flora of Essex County, \\\\\\q stiU fuithti- eniiancing his reputation, became
a model on wliich nian_y other siniihir puLlicatioiis have since been fovmcd.
lie attended lectures at Cambridg-e by IVofes,?or.s Gray, Goodale, and
Farlow, and received some laboratory instruction. He was an assistant to
Charles Sprag-ue Sarp-ent at the Arnold Arlioretum, and for some 3-ears
devoted himself to the scientific study of trees and the arrangiuL;- of cabinet
specimens. He left tlie Arboretum, and accepted the treasurership of the
board of trustees of the Peabody Academy of Science, of wliich board lie
was a member, and as'-nuncd charge of its museum and collections. Coming
to this work as he iliu with the exporionco gained by his connection vrith
the Institute and its methods, and without any of the prejudices and limita-
tions whicii are the natural outcome of the work of a specialist, he pro-
ceeded to entirely rearrange the collection of this museum, and to change
the character of its woik, so that from being a place where a few specialists
could pursue their investigations, it became a great edu.calional establisli-
ment for the public. In a surprisingly short space of tinie, he, with tlie
hearty co-operation of Professor E. S. ]\Iorse, the scientific liead of the Acad-
emy, brought this institution into touch with the people, ^■.•it]lout in any way
lowering' its standing from a scientific point of view. This has been done
by the introduction of lectures at low prices, by the establishment of
classes on special subjects, and by the exhibition of objeels in which there
may be special local interest.

Mr. Robinson's taste and happy faculty, in tlie arrangements of speci-
m6n.s for public exhibilion, make the additions of this nniseum particularly
attractive, and tliis is increased by a simple form of lalielling, so that per-
sons not gifted with a kno\v]edge of scientific terms can still know wluit
tliey are looking at, and can see wliat books to consult at the Public
Library, if they -wish to pursue any further i-esearch.

For fifteen years Islw Robinson was Professor of l<otany and Vegetable
Physiology of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. I'or two j-ears he
Avas a trustee of the Essex Agricultural Society, and iV)r one year of the
Salem Ifosj.iital. For several years he v>-as treasurer and mendoer of the
Boston Xumismatic Society. For three years he has been vice-ipresident of

(v.-ho achieved fame as colonel in the war of the Tvohcllion) as solicitor
and promoter of patents, and had a large interest in an estahlislnncnt for
nianufactnring stamp machines. I'he panic of 1857, however, was dis-
astrous to the enterprise, and he retiu-ned East, and engaged in book-heop-
ing- until the breaking out of the war. In Chicago, General Devereux
joined the National Guard Battalion, and v^-as appointed sergeant-major.
He afterwards became adjutant, and in this position he -svas put in charge
of the bod}- of young men ^vho afterwards traversed the country previous
to the war, as the famous " Ellsworth Zouaves.'' He had the entire choige
of their instruction and discipline. On his return to ^lassachusetts. he vras
elected, one year before the Eebellion, to the conunand of the Salem Light
lufo.ntry. Here he pursued the same course of discipline and instruction as
he had in Chicago, usiiig his own manual and tactics. This company
became famous for its proficiency, and was known as " Deverenx's Salem
Zouaves."

On the breaking out of the civil war. Governor Andrew transferred him
to the Eighth Regiment, wdn'ch, with the Sixth Regiment, were the first
troops in the country to start for the defence of Washington. After three
months' service, he was commissioned lieutenant-colonel of the Nineteenth
Eegiment. Under General Devereux the Nineteenth Regiment became
famous for its drill, discipline, and cliaracter, and was constantly engaged
in a succession of conflicts. At the Second Bull Run Battle, General
Devereux was wounded in the left knee, which has since caused him
much suffering. At Antietam his hoi'se was shot, and when on foot he
was shot in the arm. At Gettyslnirg also he was in conunand of liis
regiment. During this battle the Nineteenth maintained its reputation for
high soldiership and discipline, and at its conclusion General Deveieux
carried on his arm the four colors of Armistead's Brigade, the Eifty-seventh,
Fifty-third, Fourteenth, and Nineteenth Virginia, all captured by his own
regiment. On tliis battletield a bronze tablet to General Devereux lias
been raised by ^Massachusetts, inscribed with tlio quotation from Hancock's
