Here rest Noble and thoughtful men, who boldly urged O'er the unfathomed main their slender keel, To cast amid the rocks a nation's seed, Guarding its infant life from 'whelming blast, And the red Indian's ambush. Here repose The Cecrops = of this Athens, — and a band * Who on its first foundations toiled, and fell, Nor saw its glory even from such far heights As to the prophet's glance, on Pisgah's cliff, Revealed the promised land, and Israel's tribes In peace rejoicing. * See Notes, p. 189. 10 3&infl*s Cfcapel aSurCal^flrounU. Seer and sage are here, The head of honored rulers, and the heart That left no record, save the common throb Of this our taxed and frail humanity. They sleep as in the acorn sleeps the oak, Or in the depth of some untroubled lake The lily's germ, whose fresh, green, lustrous leaf, And fragrant flower, shall clothe its breast with pride. Like these they wake, but not like these shall fade: For to the trees of heaven there comes no frost, No sere decay, nor time to cast the leaf. Then o'er this gate of funeral sorrow plant The banner-staff of immortality, And on its scroll inscribe His Name, who said The dead shall rise again. Methinks I hear A low, sweet whisper from each mouldering bed, " Yea ! we shall rise again. The trump shall sound, The sown in weakness shall be raised in power." So mourn ye not the holy dead, but lift The hymn of praise for life that cannot die. L. H. SIGOURNEY. Hartford, April 6, 1852. Sntrnirttrttntt- FOR the facts relating to the early history of the Chapel Burying-ground, we are indebted to Dr. N. B. Shurtleff, a gentleman distinguished for his general antiquarian lore, and who, in regard to this particular subject, has a more accurate and thorough information, probably, than any or all other persons among us. As is well known, this was the first ground set apart for the burial of the dead, in the town of Boston. But at what time it was first enclosed and dedicated to its present use, can probably never be with ascertained. certainty Though the attention of many of those interested in the ancient .relics and landmarks of the first settlers has been directed to this point, so far as can be discovered, no written or printed evidence has been preserved, and no tradition possessing any degree of plausibility has been transmitted, which would warrant any confident statement in regard to it. A tradition has been current which connects the formation of this burial-ground with the death of Isaac Johnson, the excellent friend and patron of the Massa- 12 ftutrofcucUon. chusetts colonists. It has been commonly supposed that he lies buried within the walls of the cemetery; and a grave-stone, not long ago, was to be seen near the southwest corner, which was pointed out to strangers as his. This tradition was adopted by Hutchinson, who informs us that Mr. Johnson " was buried, at his own request, in part of the ground upon Tri-montain or Boston, which he had chosen for his lot, the square between Schoolstreet and Queen-street." He also says that " he may be said to have been the idol of the people, for they ordered their bodies, as they died, to be buried round him; and this was the reason of appropriating, for a place of burial, what is now called the old buryingplace, adjoining to King's Chapel." But, notwithstanding this confident and unqualified declaration of Hutchinson, there is great reason to question its correctness. The journalist on whose authority he undoubtedly relied did not commence his jottings until more than forty years after the event is supposed to have taken place which he records. There is no evi- dence whatever that Mr. Johnson ever owned land in Boston, or had a dwelling-house there. The grave- stone, referred to above, was a thin slate stone. It was of the second kind used in the order of time,—the older ones being of a species of porphyritic greenstone, — and could never have been designed to mark the last restingplace of the most valued man among the first settlers. Kntrouuctioit. 13 There are other considerations which would point to another place of sepulture. His wife, the Lady Arbella Johnson, whose death occurred only a month before his own, was buried in Salem. tember 30, 1630. Mr. Johnson died Sep- On the 28th of the same month, just two days previous, the Court of Assistants, of which he was a member, commenced a session at Charlestown ; and it was not until the nineteenth of the next month that, in accordance with a change determined upon some weeks previously, the General Court of the colony was held in Boston. It was between these two meetings that the removal to Boston took place. It is quite as probable that Johnson was in Charlestown, at the time of his death, as in Boston. If he died in Charlestown, in lack of any other information on the subject, it would seem to be more reasonable to suppose that his remains would have been carried to Salem, to be laid beside those of a wife so dearly beloved and so recently dead, rather than have been placed in a neighboring and unsettled town. It is with great reluctance that we throw doubt on a tradition of this kind, but we fear that there is not sufficient authority to warrant our receiving it as well founded. The first known burial in Boston is thus mentioned by Gov. Winthrop, under the date of the 18th of February, 1630-1: " Captain Welden, a hopeful young gentleman, and an experienced soldier, died at Charles2 14 SntroDuction. town of a consumption, and was buried at Boston with a military funeral." Governor Dudley, in his letter to the Countess of Lincoln, uses the following language in relation to the same event: " Amongst others who dyed about this time, was Mr. Robert Welden, who, in the time of his sickness, we had chosen to be captain of 100 foot, but before he took possession of his place, he dyed, the sixteenth of this February, and was buried as a souldier, with three vollyes of shott." The burial-ground, according to its present limits, is nearly square, and is situated in the most central part of the peninsula which forms the city proper, being bounded on the west by Tremont-street, and separated from School-street on the south by King's Chapel. Its principal entrance is from Tremont-street, although there is a gate on the easterly end of the Chapel, chiefly used as an approach to the twenty-one vaults beneath the chapel. Exclusive of these last, there are about seventy-nine tombs within the yard, making one hundred connected with the cemetery. On entering this abode of the dead from the main entrance, the first object that meets the eye is a marble monument, erected in the early part of the present century, to the memory of a venerable and useful citizen, Hon. Thomas Dawes, who was for many years identified with the mechanical interests of the town. On turning to the left, or north-west corner of the yard, will be per- fintvoDuction. 15 ceived the Winthrop tomb, within which have mouldered the mortal remains of three distinguished individuals, father, son and grandson, each, in his turn, well known, in our historical annals, as Governor John Winthrop. John Winthrop, Gov. of Massachusetts, died 26 March, 1649, se. 61. John Winthrop, Gov. of Conn., died 5 April, 1676, £6.70. John Winthrop, Gov. of Conn., died 27 Nov., 1707, se. 68. Not far from this sepulchre of a family thus distinguished through successive generations, is a broad upright tablet, containing inscriptions of the decease of four of the early pastors of the first church of Boston, Cotton, Davenport, Oxenbridge and Bridge ; and a little aside from this memorial are the very modest and now obscure graves of Sarah, the widow of the beloved John Cotton and excellent Richard Mather, and of Elizabeth, the widow of Davenport; the former of whom died on the 27th of May, 1676, aged 75, and the latter on the 15th of the next September, aged 76. In the immediate neighborhood, were buried many of those who held office in the management of the same church. Proceeding a little further on the northern side of the yard, we meet with the oldest sepulchral tablet in the fintronucttoiu 16 cemetery. It is that of Jacob Sheafe, an opulent mer- chant of his day, and bears the following inscription : HERE LYETH INTERD THE BODY OF IACOB SHEAFE OF BOSTON WHO TIME LIVED AT FOR SVME CRAilBROCK IN KENT IN OVLD INGLAND HEE DECEASED THE 22 OF MARCH 1658 AGED 58 YEARS. The next tomb, as we advance, is that of the Brattle family; and in the next were deposited the remains of Lady Andross, wife of the notorious Sir Edmund, Having proceeded thus far, we arrive at the north-east corner, where is situated the charnel-house, and in the vicinity of which is the grave-stone of Beacon William Faddy, one of the early settlers of the Plymouth colony, and subsequently of Boston. This last-mentioned gravestone is of greenstone, and is the oldest upright stone in the yard. In 1830, while some workmen were em- ployed in removing the earth from the north side of the old building at the head of State-street, most generally known as the Old State House, this was found several feet under the surface. Several bones and pieces of wood were taken from the same place, which the incredulous readily believed to be remnants of the skeleton and coffin of Mr. Paddy. to be such. They, however, did not prove The stone was placed where it now stands, Xntvofcuction* 17 without any reference to the place where it was orginally erected. As the grave-stones of Mrs. Paddy, the widow, and of several of her children, are to be found in the chapel-yard, it is fair to infer that the remains of the deacon are also in the same yard; and that the stone, having been removed for the purpose of covering a drain, — a not uncommon occurrence, — has, after the lapse of many years, been restored to very nearly its proper position. Not far from the south-easterly corner, though not in its original situation, can be seen the grave-stone of Capt. Roger Clap, another of the ancient worthies. In the neighborhood of the south-western angle is the tomb of Major Thomas Savage, ancestor of the learned commentator of Winthrop. By a singular caprice of a former superintendent of burials, many of the grave-stones in this burial-place have been removed from their original locations and placed in rows ; an act which it is very desirable should never be repeated. Within a recent period, a feeling, and no doubt a wellfounded one, of opposition to intramural burials, has been gaining strength. But there are few persons who would be willing to see this ground, where are the sepulchres of the fathers, disturbed. It is almost the sole visible memorial which remains of them. Their homes have crumbled, the churches in which they worshipped have been replaced by more recent struc2* 18 acntroDuction. tures, the open hills from which they looked out on the sea and the forest have been discrowned, and almost levelled into the valleys, and the winding pathways of the new settlement have become the streets of an overcrowded city. Since the earlier monuments were erected, successive generations have come and gone; the aborigines have disappeared from the wilderness, and the wilderness itself has shrunk away before the advance of civilized man. One war after another has shaken the land; the feeble colony has become a commonwealth; and, sundered from the parent country, a new empire has extended itself over the continent to whose dreary solitudes the first settlers fled as fugitives. Nothing remains the same, but the burial-places of the dead. Were it only that, like a narrow peninsula, it connects the world that now is with the world that was, one would be glad to have the place remain undisturbed. Among the persons interred here, were a large number of those most distinguished in the early history of the town. As one pauses beside their graves, he is reminded of the power of the individual life and character. We attribute many of our chief advantages to the institutions under which we live. had their origin with men. But these institutions Had the fathers who here lie buried been men of a less generous, upright and highminded class, — had they been of a sordid and narrow 19 KntroOu c U o n . temper, — the institutions and the character of the place would, to this day, have been on a lower level. The advantages which we enjoy are owing, in no small degree, to their intelligence, rectitude and piety. They still live in their influence, a perennial source of good to their descendants. Among those buried here were those who on earth were widely divided from each other in their religious convictions. From these silent graves come lessons of charity and tolerance. They who would not worship together in the same temple, and who denounced each other's creeds and forms, have left their bodies side by side in the grave, while they have ascended together, we may hope, to meet the acceptance of the same allmerciful Judge. Were our eyes opened to look in on immortal scenes, we might behold those who on earth thought that they were serving their Maker by being each other's enemies, now together worshipping the same God. The strifes of the earth are passed away, in the clearer light of a higher life. It may not be that this silent enclosure, half walled out from the public gaze, can exert any powerful influence ' on the throngs of the living. And yet, it shall sometimes awaken a more serious thought. It remains unchanged in the centre of this Maelstrom of busy and fevered life which whirls around it. It says to the rest- less and toiling multitude. Here soon shall be your home. 20 Kntrofcuction. Between these graves, pride and ambition, pleasure and selfishness and worldliness, shall sometimes walk, and have the mind raised to higher and better thoughts. The burial-place of the dead, so far as it has any influence, is on the side of virtue and religion. associated with hallowed and affectionate It is memories. Its voice is one of perpetual rebuke to folly and sin. It warns men to serve God in lives of usefulness and righteousness and piety, while it directs the thoughts to that tribunal before which each man shall give account of the deeds done in the body. As we look upon the grave, no doubt it is sad and dreary. How many swelling hearts have gone down into this realm of sleep ! For two hundred years, day after day, the gates have been opened for the entrance of those who were bearing some dear friend to his last earthly resting-place. What bitter tears have been shed around these tombs, as the bodies of the departed were laid away in their sides! A little time passed, and they who thus wept were followed to the same place by another company of mourners, If this were the end, — if all hope and affection and memory went down into the ! grave to be extinguished forever, — who would dare to enter what would be a place of annihilation and despair ? But, thanks be to God, this is not the end! By the side of every open grave the believing heart hears the promise of Him who is the Resurrection and the Life. Xntro a u c t i o n . 21 Thanks be unto God that with the memories of the past are blended still better and holier hopes of the future. If all that is saddest in the past seems to col- lect in cloud and shadow around the tomb, so also above it, in God's providence, is permitted to rise, clear and distinct, the brightest and most blessed hope. " When by a good man's grave I muse alone, Metliinks an angel sits upon the stone, — Like those of old, on that thrice-hallowed night, Who sat and watched in raiment heavenly bright,— And, with a voice inspiring joy, not fear, Says, pointing upward, that he is not here, That he is risen !

TTassall Monument, SACRED to the Memory of SAMUEL VASSALL, Esq., of LONDON, Merchant, one of the original proprietors of the lands of this Country; a steady and undaunted asserter of the Liberties of ENGLAND, in 1628, He was the first who boldly refused to submit to the tax of Tonnage and Poundage, an unconstitutional claim of the Crown arbitrarily imposed: For which (to the ruin of his family) his goods were seized and his person imprisoned by the Star Chamber Court. He was chosen to represent the City of LONDON J; u s c v f j)t i o i t s . 139 in two successive Parliaments, which met Apr. 13 and Nov. 3, 1640. The Parliament in July, 1641, voted him £10445. 12. 2 for his damages, and resolved that he should be further considered for his personal sufferings ; But the rage of the times and the neglect of proper applications since, have left to his family only the honour of that Vote and Resolution. He was one of the largest subscribers to raise money against the Rebels in IRELAND. All these facts may be seen in the Journal of the House of Commons. He was the Son of the gallant JOHN VASSALL, who in 1588 at his own expense fitted out and commanded two Ships of War, with which he joined the Royal Navy to oppose the SPANISH ARMADA. This monument was erected by his great grandson, FLORENTIUS VASSALL, ESQ., of the Island of JAMAICA, now residing in ENGLAND, May, 1766. 140 Btiifls <£ jj a p e i PAUL D. EICHARDS. TOMB.

I t appears he went to Rhode Island, where he was President between 1647 and 1663, and Governor in 1666, 1667 and 1668. He died at Newport, 1674. " To him, it is not improbable, was granted, anno 1658, the large and beautiful tract of land on Merrimack river, in N". H „ long known by 17 194 2Hinfl's 11 b c r W E tnritll. Capt. George Lane, 1797, and subsequently, in 1806, General Arnold Welles. She died in 1819. Gen. Welles was many years president of the Mass. Fire and Marine Insurance Company, and commanded the Boston brigade during the last Avar with England. Three other children of Mr. Brown died in childhood; one daughter, however, Harriet, born 1784, survived him. and died, unmarried, 1797. Her ashes rest in the same tomb. E. H. D. HON. OLIVER WENDELL, (p. 144.) Judge Oliver Wendell, whose name this tomb bears, was the son of Hon. Jacob Wendell. He was bora in Boston, March 5, 1733, and died at Cambridge, January 15, 1818. After finishing his education at Harvard College, he entered into mercantile business with his father, from whose experience and counsels he may have derived no less benefit than from his stock in trade. He was in the consultations of the early patriots of the American Revolution, and contributed to the acquisition and maintenance of the liberty and independence of the commonwealth and country. After the constitution was settled, he was often a member of the senate and of the council, in the government of the commonwealth. During his public life, he was judge of probate for the county of Suffolk; president of Union Bank ; a fellow of the corporation of Harvard College; president of the Society for propagating the Gospel among the Indians and others in North America; and a trustee of Phillips Academy, Andover. Retiring from the city, he spent several of his last years in Cambridge, where he died, January 15, 1818, aged 85. His remains were deposited in the family tomb, in the Chapel Burial-ground, in Boston. To the public notice of his death was annexed the"following sketch of his character, written in the council-chamber at the state-house, on the reception of the intelligence of his death, by a highly respected friend (President Quincy),who, by long ffl o u . © I i b e v m z ntoe I i 205 intercourse with him, in public and private life, was a competent judge of his character. " I n all relations of life, as a man, citizen, and magistrate, Judge Wendell was distinguished for uncommon urbanity of manners, and unimpeachable integrity of conduct. During the course of a long life, he had been successively called to fill many high and responsible offices. The punctuality and precision with which he fulfilled all the duties connected with them were highly exemplary. Full of years, he has descended to the grave, regretted and beloved by all who knew him ; happy in the consciousness of a life well spent, and rejoicing in the prospect of felicity in a future state, of which a firm faith in his Redeemer gave him the assurance." Judge Wendell married, in 1762, Mary, a daughter of Edward Jackson, who graduated at Harvard College 1726, married Dorothy Quincy, and was a merchant of Boston. (He was the son of Jonathan Jackson, who was a brazier and nailmaker, and married Mary Salter, March 26, 1700 ; lived in Boston, and left quite a large estate. He was the son of Jonathan, who married Elizabeth , and settled in Boston. He was born in England, and was the son of Edward, born in 1602, who emigrated from White Chapel, a parish in London, to this country, about 1642, took tho freeman's oath, May 1645, and in 1646 purchased of Gov. Bradstreet a farm of five hundred acres of land in that part of Cambridge which is now Newton, for £140. For his second wife he married, March 14, 1648, Elizabeth Oliver, widow of Rev. John Oliver, the first minister of Rumney Marsh (Chelsea), and daughter of John Newgate, of Boston. He was one of the most respectable men of the colony, and was much engaged in public life. He died July 17, 1681, aged 79.) Judge Wendell had several children, most of whom died young. Oliver and Edward never married, and have deceased. Sarah married the Rev. Dr. Abiel Holmes, of Cambridge, by whom she had five children, namely : 1, Mary Jackson, who married Usher Parsons, M. D., of Providence, R. I . ; 2. Ann Susan, who married Rev. 236 Won. ©UberSiE/entoeli. Charles W . Upham, of Salem; 3. Sarah Lathrop, who died 1812, aged six years; 4. Oliver Wendell Holmes, M. D., of Boston, the poet, who married Amelia Lee Jackson, daughter of Hon. Charles Jackson, of Boston; and, 5. John Holmes, an attorney at law, living in Cambridge. The Wendell family is of German origin. EVERT JANSEN WENDELL came from Embden, in East Friesland, in Hanover, about 1645, and settled in Albany, State of New York, where he died, 1709, 8e. 88 years. He left two children, one of whom died without issue ; the other, JOHN WENDELL (who died in Albany, November 1691, se. 44), married, first, Marilla Jel/ese, by whom he had two children, Elsee Wendell and Mary Wendell; by his second wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Major Abraham STAATS, he had nine children, all born in Albany. 1st.

He died September 7, 1761, at his house in School-street, opposite King's Chapel, and yet standing. This Hon. Jacob Wendell married, " at the house of Mr. John Mico, in Boston, August 12, 1714," Miss Sarah Oliver (born at Cambridge, September 4, 1696, died in Boston, July 22, 1762).

We will add that Evert Jansen Wendell, the first-named progenitor of the family, was, A. D. 1656, the Regerendo Dijaken of the Dutch Church in Albany; and his arms, as given on page 144, a ship riding at her two anchors, were stained on nine panes of glass in the east window of the church. The "Albany A r g u s " of July 29, 1823, contained a sketch of this family, which still exists at Albany, numerous and wealthy. Our plate of the arms is taken from one executed for Hon. Jacob Wendell, who impaled them with those of his wife, being an heiress, Sarah Oliver. h w. P. Kofle* ffilaj). 239 ROGER CLAP. (p. 64.) The coat of arms on page 64 is supposed to belong to all the early settlers of Massachusetts by the name of Clap. The following was written about 1731, by James Blake, Jr., a man remarkably well acquainted with Roger Clap and his family. Capt. Roger Clap was born in Salcom in the County of Devon, on the 6th Day of April, Anno Domini 1609, of pious and creditable Parents; whose religious Education God was pleased to accompany with the early Strivings and Convictions of his Holy Spirit, that ended in his happy Conversion. In his younger Years, while he was under the immediate Government of his Father, he had such a Love to the Word of God and the most eminent Preachers of i t ; that he obtained leave of his Father to live in the City of Exon, under the Ministry of the Rev. Mr. John Warham, with whom he afterwards came to New-England. In the Year 1629, when many of the most godly Ministers and People were driven out of the Kingdom for their conscientious Nonconformity to the Established Way of Worship, and Mr. Warham and Mr. Maverick, (who were afterwards Colleague Pastors of the Church of Dorchester in New-England) and with them a considerable Number of pious Persons were preparing for a Remove into this Country; Mr. Clap found in himself a strong Inclination to go with those good People, and cast in his Lot with them. He had taken a great liking unto the Ministry of the Rev. Mr. Warham, and was not willing to be left behind, when He was to go; and therefore having with some Difficulty obtained his Father's Consent, he set himself to assist in the great and good Work the People of God then had in hand. He with those good People that came over 210 iHoijcv Clap, with him, (who were the first Inhabitants of Dorchester) set sail from Plymouth in England the 20th Day of March 1629,30 ; and after a comfortable (tho' long) Passage of Ten Weeks, they arrived at Hull the 30th of May 1630. This was the First Company that settled on this side Salem: and therefore besure they met with Trials and Difficulties enough, which did not at all dishearten Mr. Clap ; for his Heart was so taken off from temporal Things, and set upon serving and glorifying God, and finding here such Advantages and Opportunities therefor, beyond what he had in England, that he could not forbear crying out in a sort of Extasy of Joy, Blessed be God that brought me here! In the same Year that He came over here, He joined himself a Member of the Church in Dorchester, where he lived, and continued a Member of this Church for the space of Sixty Years; being a useful Instrument both in Church and Town. When he had been about Two Years and half in the Country, in the Year 1633, Novemb. 6th in the 25th Year of his Age, he married the vertuous Mrs. Johanna Ford, Daughter of Mr. Thomas Ford of Dorchester in England, when she was but in the 17th Year of her Age : who with her Parents came over in the same Ship with himself, and settled also here in Dorchester ; with whom he lived in the Conjugal Relation for the space of 57 Years. She was a godly and exemplary Woman, given to Hospitality; She abounded in Acts of Charity; so that when proper Objects of Pity and Charity came to her Knowledge, she never failed to relieve them herself, or procure them Relief from others : Thus the Blessing of those that were ready to Perish came upon her. Among the Blessings wherewith it pleased God to Bless this pious Couple, the Blessings of the Breasts and of the Womb were not the least; for they had Fourteen Children, Ten Sons and Four Daughters. But God was pleased to prove these his Servants with Afflictions also, as well as Mercies ; for Five of their Children Died in their Infancy; their Son Thomas died at 15 Years of Age, and their Son Unite at 7 Years. And in &oget €Iap. 241 the Year 1686, their Son Supply, a hopefull young Man in the Flower and Prime of his Age, was suddenly taken out of the World, by the Accidental Firing a Gun at the Castle; where his Father was then the Captain, and himself an Officer, in the 23d Year of his Age. The rest of their Children, being Four Sons and Two Daughters, lived to fulfill the ordinary Course of Nature, and were great Blessings in their Generations. Mr. Clap being thus settled as he himself expresseth it, in God's House and among his People, he set himself to serve God and his Generation according to the Will of God. His Qualifications were quickly observed by the People of Dorchester ; and they early Improved him in the Affairs of their new Plantation. He sustained both Civil and Military Offices in the Town ; being Captain of the Militia, Representative for the Town, and Authorized to Join Persons in Marriage. And on the 10th of August 1665, the General Court appointed him Captain of the Castle (the principal Fortress in the Province) upon the Death of Capt. Davenport, who was kill'd with Lightning the Month before. Capt. Clap having now the Command of the Castle, discharged that Trust with great Fidelity ; and was therein serviceable to the whole Province, and universally Respected and Honoured. He continued in that Command for the space of 21 Years, even until the Year 1686 ; when by the Loss of our Charier there was a Change of Government, and some things were required of Him that were grievous to his pious Soul; and foreseeing a Storm of Troubles coming on the Country, and he now in his old Age, voluntarily resigned his Command. There is another Instance that shows what an Interest Capt. Clap had in the Hearts of God's People, and what an extensive Blessing they accounted h i m : it is this; In the Year 1672, he being then Captain of the Castle, it pleased God to visit him with a Fit of Sickness ; and the good People of Dorchester, unto which Church he belonged, kept a Day of Fasting and Prayer, to beg his Life of God : And God was pleased 21 242 3X ofie v <£ I a p . to hear and answer their Prayers ; and when he was restored to Health, they kept a Day of Thanksgiving. When he commanded the Castle, he resided there with his Family; and a well-ordered Family it was: Capt. Clap and his Wife were Examples of Piety: their Light shone before others, to the Glory of their heavenly Father. He was a very Prayerful Man, and was observed to retire often for Secret Duties: And in his Family (unto which all the Souldiers under his Command also belonged) he daily offered up the Sacrifices of Prayer and Thanksgiving ; in which, if he understood his Prolixity were disagreeable to any, he would be Troubled thereat. He with his Family were constant Hearers of the word preached; going (I think) commonly to Dorchester Meeting, when the Weather -permitted, and sometimes to Boston. He bear a universal Love and Respect to Godly Ministers, Honouring them for their Works sake : and also he bare an endeared Love to all the People of God; so that the very Indians whom he thought to be Fearers of God were welcome to him, and he would instruct them in the Principles of Religion. He constantly attended the Lectures in the Towns of Dorchester and Boston ; particularly the Lecture at Boston; concerning which, if any of the Souldiers or young People asked, Whose Lecture it was? intimating thereby (as Capt. Clap very well knew) that they thought some were not so excellent preachers as others, and so had less Inclination to hear them ; He would answer, Let the Preacher be ivho he will, if he Preach the Word of God I will go and hear him. His Eyes were upon the Faithful of the Land, that they might dwell with him : He chose those to serve him that walked in a perfect way; and He would entertain none in his Service, but those that He could reduce to good Orders. He would often recommend to his young People the Example of his pious Gunner, Mr. Baxter, when he was absent, saying, The Walls of the Castle would testify how many Prayers that good Man made to God in Secret. In his time it might be seen, that Religious and well disposed Men might take upon them the calling of a looser Clap* 243 Souldier, without danger of hurting their Morals or their good Name, or lessning their Advantages and Opportunities for the Services of Religion. He had a great Aversion to Idleness, would warn his Family against it, and made Conscience of imploying himself and all about him in some lawful Business. He was a hearty Lover of his Country, a well wisher to it, one that Prayed often for it, being chiefly concerned that pure & undemed Religion might flourish here : and was a good Instrument in his Place and Station to promote and encourage that which was Good, and to discountenance Evil, and keep out Error and Heresy. He was a meek & humble Man, of a very quiet and peaceable Spirit, not apt to resent Injuries ; but where he thought the Honour of God was concerned, or just and lawful Authority opposed, he was forward enough to exert himself. His Parts as well as his Piety, and his Knowledge of the Word of God and the true Christian Religion, may be seen in the foregoing Discourse; which is only the (Substance of those verbal Counsels, Warnings and Exhortations which he frequently Inculcated on his Children, committed to Writing: Which Discourse is doubtless worthy any serious Man's Perusal, and especially those of his Posterity. As to his natural Temper, it is said, He was of a chearful & pleasant Disposition, courteous and kind in his Behaviour, free and familiar in his Conversation, yet attended with a proper Reservedness; & he had a Gravity & Presence that commanded Respect from others. When he left the Castle, which was in the Year 1686, he removed to the South End of Boston, and Associated with the South Church there; where he lived about Four Years, and after about a Fortnight's Sickness, in which he often repeated Words to this purpose, \\The Lord Reigns; blessed be the Name of the Lord; The Lord sitteth upon the Flood; yea the Lord || I suppose in the joyful Contemplation of the late wonderful REVOLUTION. 244 llofler Clap. silteth King forever ; Blessed be his holy Name : He there departed this Life, Feb. 2. 1690,91, in the 82d Year of his Age. He was buried in the old Burying Place in Boston ; the Military Officers going before the Corps; and next to the Relations, the Governour and the whole General Court following after; and the Guns firing at the Castle at the same time. Mrs. Clap, who was bora June 8th, 1617, lived his Widow between 4 & 5 Years, and died at Boston in June 1695, being about 78 Years old, and was Interred by her Husband. Capt. Clap (as was said before) had six Children that lived to old Age, and were Blessings in their Generation. Their Names and the Order of their Birth is as follows, Samuel, Elizabeth, Preserved, Hopestill, Wait and Desire. 1. Mr. Samuel Clap wTas born the 11th Day of Octob. 1634, when his Mother was but in the 18th Year of her Age. He was a wise and prudent Man, partaking of the choice Spirit of his Father, treading in his Steps, and making good his Ground: He was eminent for Religion, and of a blameless and unspotted Conversation. He was early and constantly imployed in Publick Affairs : He was Captain of the Military Company, Representative for the Town; and the seven last Years of his Life a Ruling Elder of the Church of Dorchester where he lived. He Married Mrs. Hannah Leeds, Daughter of Mr. Richard Leeds of Dorchester. They had Two Sons & Two Daughters that lived to be grown up. He Died about Eight Days after his Wife, on Oct. 16th 1708, being about 74 Years old. His eldest Son Samuel deceased in his middle Age, a very pious useful Man also. He was chosen one of the Deacons of the Church in Dorchester, where he lived, and was Lieutenant of a Military Company in the Town. His other Son died a hopeful young Man. 2. Mrs. Elizabeth Clap was Born June 22d 1638. She married Mr. Joseph Holmes. She was a vertuous and prudent Woman. They had Five Children that lived to be grown up. She Died at Boston, Dec. 25th 1711, in the 74th Year of her Age ; and was buried by her Parents. a&oflet&lap. 245 3. Mr. Preserved Clap was Born Nov. 23d 1643. He was a good Instrument and a great Blessing to the Town of Northampton where he lived. He was Captain of the Town, and their Representative in the General Court, and Ruling Elder in the Church. He married Mrs. Sarah Newbery of Windsor. They had Seven Children that Lived to be grown up. He died at Northampton, Sept. 20th 1720, Aged about 77 Years. 4. Mr. Hopestill Clap was Born Nov. 6. 1647. He was a very gracious Man, endowed with a great measure of Meekness and Patience ; studied & practiced those Things that make for Peace. He was first a Deacon of the Church of Dorchester, where he lived; and afterwards in the Year 1709 he was Chosen and Ordained a Ruling Elder in the same Church : He Represented the Town in the General Court for the space of Fifteen Years. He was much honoured & respected by those that had a value for vital Piety. He married Mrs. Susanna Swift. They had Two Sons and Four Daughters that lived to be grown up. One of his Sons died a Young Man, the other is now living in Dorchester. Elder Hopestill Clap died at Dorchester, Sept. 2d 1719, in the 72d Year of his Age. Upon his Grave-Stone is written by his Pastor as follows. His Dust waits till the Jubillee: Shall then shine brighter than the Sky; Shall meet and joyn to part no more, His Soul that's glorifyed before. Pastors and Churches happy be With Ruling Elders such as h e : Present Useful, absent Wanted', Liv'd Desired, died Lamented. 5. Mrs. Wait Clap wras born March 17th 1649. She was a godly Woman, following the good Example of her Parents. She often spake of that Charge wThich her Father left his Children, viz. Never to spend any Time in Idleness; and practised accordingly, in a very observable manner. She married Mr. Jonathan Simpson of Charlestown. They had but Two 21# 246 3koger<£lap* Children, one Son and one Daughter, that lived to be grown up. She lived a Widow about Twelve Years, and died at Boston, in the House that her Father & Mother lived & died in, May 3. 1717, in the 69th year of her Age, and was buryed near her Parents. 6. Mr. Desire Clap was Born Octob. 17th 1652. He lived in Dorchester, was a sober, religious Man. He married Mrs. Sarah Pond: They had Four Children that lived to be grown up, one Son and three Daughters. In his old Age he buried his first Wife, and married again to Mrs. Deborah Smith of Boston, wTith whom he went to live ; and there he died in December 1717, in the 66th Year of his Age, and was interred near his Relations. Thus God was pleased to Bless this Pious Family, and make them Blessings in their Day & Generation. They have all of them finished their Pilgrimage in this World, and are gathered to their Fathers, and entred into the Rest that remains for the People of God; leaving behind them their good Names, and their bright Examples of Piety and Virtue. Divers also of the Grand-Children are removed by Death. May the Blessings of these Godly Ancestors rest upon their Posterity, even unto the latest Generations : And may their Posterity put themselves in the way to Inherit those Blessings, by continuing stedfast in the Covenant of their God, under which their Ancestors have brought them ; and by walking in and cleaving to, the good ways of their fore Fathers, treading in their Steps and making good their Ground. Capt. Clap had one Brother, and two Sisters, with their Husbands, that upon his Advice and Encouragement, afterwards came over and settled themselves here in Dorchester. His Brother Edward Clap was a godly Man, a Deacon of the Church of Dorchester, as two of his Grandsons have been since. His Sisters were the Wives of Mr. George Weeks and Mr. Nicholas Clap, religious Families. Deut. 7. 9. Know therefore that the Lord thy God, He is God, the Faithful God, which 3Hofler 247 €la#. keepeth Covenant and Mercy with them that love him, and keep his Commandments, to a Thousand Generations, James Blake, jun. Capt. Roger Clap " was buried with much pomp ; the military officers, probably the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, preceding the corpse; the Governor and General Court following the relations as mourners, and the guns firing at the Castle." Most of his descendants reside in Northampton (where his son Preserved removed) and that vicinity, in the western part of Massachusetts. Thomas, a son of Preserved, removed from Northampton to Hartford, Conn., and was the progenitor of most of the name in that state. There are but few living who descended from the other sons of Roger. Several of his posterity have been distinguished for their learning and ability, with whom may also be ranked the Rev. Theodore, now a clergyman of New Orleans, who was born in East Hampton, Mass. At the decease of Elder Hopestill, Sept. 2, 1719, his pastor, Rev. John Danforth, published a Funeral Poem, wherein he sets forth the merits of this family, as well as of the subject of his poem, in a quaint and curious style. As there are probably but very few copies of it extant, some extracts will here be given.

He came to this country in 1633, and spent the remainder of j&o$jer Clap* 249 his days in Dorchester. He served the town in many of its responsible offices, and was a deacon of the church twenty-six years. He died January 8th, 1664. Farmer, in his Genealogical Register, says that Deacon Edward " died without issue; " but he was mistaken. He had nine children. By his first wife, Prudence, he had Elizabeth, born 1634, who married Elder James Blake ; Prudence, born 1637, who married Simon Peck, of Hingham; Ezra, born 1640; Nehemiah, born 1646; and Susanna, born 1648. By his second wife, Susanna, he had Esther, born 1656; Abigail, born 1659 ; Joshua, born 1661; and Jonathan, born 1664, about two and a half months after the decease of his father. The last named three died young. Six of these, two sons (Ezra and Nehemiah) and four daughters, were alive at the time of their father's death. Nehemiah died in Dorchester, April 2, 1684, leaving two children, Edward and Submit. Edward married, and lived most of his days in his native town; he joined an expedition against the Indians in 1722, and afterwards removed to Sudbury, where he died, Dec. 3, 1733, aged 53 years, leaving one daughter, Mary. Submit removed to Sudbury, and married Joseph Britnall, of that town ; she survived him, and, July 23, 1741, married again to Richard Taylor, of that place. Ezra, son of Deacon Edward, removed to Milton, where he spent the remainder of his days, and died Jan. 23d, 1717. His father, in his will, left him all his land lying on the south side of Neponset river; likewise a part of his estate in Dorchester. The estate in Milton, where he removed, was situated between the meeting-house and Dorchester Upper Mills. Ezra built a mill on the Neponset, about the year 1712. He had fourteen children; seven by his first and seven by his second wife. His eldest son, Edward, born in 1672, joined the expedition to Canada in 1690, and never returned. His son Nehemiah was a deacon of the church in Milton, and was much respected by the citizens of that town. The descendants of Ezra, in the male line, have not been numerous, and it 250 Roger Glap. is believed that but three now survive ; one living in Chester, Vt.; one in Orange, Mass., or that vicinity; and one in Boston. The age and circumstances of these go far to prove that they will be the last. Thomas, son of Richard Clap, was born in Dorchester, England, in 1597. He came over to New England in 1633, and remained a while in Dorchester, then removed to Weymouth, and from thence to Scituate. He removed to the last-named place in 1640, where he spent the remainder of his days, and died April 20th, 1684, aged 87 years. He was a man of energy and ability, and in church, town and colony affairs held important offices. He was a deacon thirty-seven years, a deputy to the court, and was engaged in the warm controversies which agitated the churches in that town for upwards of thirty years, commencing under the ministry of Rev. Charles Chauncy, afterwards president of Harvard College. His children were Thomas, Eleazer, Samuel, Increase, Elizabeth, Prudence, John and Abigail. Thomas was born March 15th, 1639, while his parents resided in Weymouth ; he afterwards removed to the south part of Dedham, subsequently incorporated as Walpole, and was the ancestor of the Claps of that place. Eleazer removed to Barnstable, and was killed in that brave and sanguinary battle with the Narragansett Indians, fought at Rehoboth in 1676. Samuel was a very important man, for many years a representative to the General Court. He settled in Scituate, and was the ancestor of nearly all of the name in that town. John, son of Thomas, born Oct. 18th, 1656, was a youth of extraordinary piety and promise; he died when a little upwards of 13 years of age. A memoir of his life was written and published by Rev. Mr. Witherell, of Scituate. There is also some account of him in Cotton Mather's Magnalia. Several of the descendants of Thomas were distinguished for their learning, piety and worth. His great-grandson, Thomas, born June 26th, 1703, was, for many years, president of Yale College, and was one of the most celebrated men Koscr Clap. 251 of his day. President Styles, his successor, speaks of him as standing in the first ranks of the learned men of the age. " He studied," says he, " the higher branches of mathematics, and was one of the first philosophers America has produced, and equalled by no man except the most learned Professor Winthrop." The greater part of the descendants of Thomas live in Scituate. Nicholas, son of Richard Clap, of England, and brother of Thomas, before named, undoubtedly came with him to Dorchester, about 1635, where he settled, and remained the rest of his days ; he died very suddenly, Nov. 24th, 1679. He was a highly respectable man ; he held several important offices in the town, and was a deacon of the church. His first wife was a sister of Capt. Roger Clap. His children by his first wife were, Sarah, born 1637, who married in Connecticut; Nathaniel, 1640, who settled in Dorchester, and was " a choice man ; " Ebenezer, 1643, who settled in Milton ; and Hannah, 1646, who married Ebenezer Strong, of Northampton. By his second wife he had Noah, born 1667, who settled in Sudbury, and Sarah. All of the posterity, in the male line, are from Nathaniel. Ebenezer was not married until he was about 60 years of age ; he left no children ; and Noah left no sons who arrived at manhood. Among the most eminent of the descendants of Nicholas was his grandson, Rev. Nathaniel, born in Dorchester Jan. 20th, 1668, who was, for many years, a minister of the Gospel at Newport, R. I., and was celebrated for his piety, learning and benevolence, abounding in charity and good works. Most of the descendants of Nicholas reside in Dorchester; there are a few in the county of Middlesex, a few in Vermont, and a few scattering. John, son of Richard Clap, of England, and brother of Thomas and Nicholas, came to New England subsequently to his brothers, and settled in Dorchester, where he died, July 24th, 1655. He left a widow, but no children. In his will 252 3&osjer Clap. he left property to the town of Dorchester, which has since proved very valuable* It will be seen by the foregoing that there were five of the name who were among the early settlers : — Edward and Roger, who were brothers, and Thomas, Nicholas and John, who were also brothers, and cousins to the two former.* All of them came to Dorchester, and all of their children were born there, excepting those of Thomas; yet, of those now living in that town (and there are about thirty-five voters), all the voters but one are descendants of Nicholas. The posterity of Thomas, of Scituate, are probably the most numerous, and those of Roger the next. Taken as a whole, they have lived quiet and peaceable lives; but there have been among them those fond of the varieties of life, rovers, and sons of Mars; and all parts of the earth have contained some of their number. We have thus given a brief outline of the lives of Capt. Roger Clap, and of his relatives of the name. They, with their cotemporaries, have long since joined the great congregation of the departed, and sleep with their fathers. Many were their virtues, which shone out from beneath every pressure of adversity. They bore their hardships with the firmness of martyrs. They left the sepulchres of their fathers, and all they held dear, for this land of their adoption, being too full of the true spirit of man to bow the knee to hierarchs or kings. " They built altars to the living God, where before ascended but the smoke of idolatrous sacrifices;'' and subdued a wilderness which now blossoms like the rose. This * There was also another person of the name, who came to Philadelphia during the early settlement of the country; he was an emigrant from Hesse Cassel, a province in Germany. Two of his sons, Lewis and George, settled in North Carolina, where the name has become one of the most numerous in the state. The descendants of this man are also scattered through the states of Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and Illinois. The older generations of these spelled their name Klapp, but the K has now given place to C. Samuel SaHstiurj, 253 generation is reaping the fruit of their toil and self-denial, and their counsels of wisdom are a rich inheritance. May the mantle of charity cover their faults, and their memory be as enduring as their virtues. At the head of this article is a fac simile of the signature of Capt. Clap, from the Town Records of Dorchester, under date of the " seventh day of the twelfth month," in the year 1641. E. C. J r . SAMUEL SALISBURY, (p. 150.)

BKOMFIELD AND PHILLIPS, (p. 56.) The BROMFIELD family is first heard of in Wales, where, in the time of Edward the 2d, it had extensive possessions. We next find it in Derbyshire, whence a younger son, William Bromfield, removed to London, and became, in the reign of Elizabeth, lieutenant of ordnance in the Tower; he acquired, by marriage, large estates in Norfolk, where, before, a branch of the family had been settled, to whom, in the seventh year of Edward the Sixth (A. D. 1553), an augmentation of their coat-armor was granted. Sir Edward Bromfield was mayor asromnetu anu ?MiHp«. 255 of London, 1635. Arthur, son of William, and grandson of the above-named William Bromfield, removed to Hampshire county; and his eldest son, Henry, married Frances, daughter of Thomas Kempe, of Ginne, in Hampshire ; from this couple the American Bromfields descended. Hon. EDWARD BROMFIELD, the first of the name on this side the ocean, was born at Haywood House, the seat of the family, near New Forest, Hampshire, January 10, 1649, being the third son of Henry, who was the son of Arthur Bromfield, Esq. He served his apprenticeship to a merchant in London ; was, while a youth, intimate with Baxter and the leading nonconformists, and came to Massachusetts 1675. He was selectman of Boston, representative, and of the governor's council from 1703 to 1728, and lived where the Bromfield House now stands. The only child of his first marriage, to Mrs. Elizabeth Brading, died without issue. His second wife was Mary, daughter of Rev. Samuel Danforth, of Roxbury, and granddaughter of Rev. John Wilson, of Boston. They were married June 4, 1683. He died June 2, 1734, aged 86. His wife survived him but a few months, dying October 7, 1734. One son and two daughters survived their parents. This son, EDWARD BROMFIELD, was born in Boston, November 5, 1695 ; was a merchant, married (21 February, 1723) Abigail Coney (born June 5, 1700, died October, 3779), erected a dwellinghouse on Beacon-street, nearly opposite where the Athenaeum now stands, and died April 10, 1756. Their children were, 1. Edward, born January 30, 1724, died August 18, 1746. 2. Abigail, born January 9, 1726, married, June 13, 1744, Hon. WILLIAM PHILLIPS, and died 1777. 3.

Rogers, 1781, and died 1791; 256 aStromneiti ant) SJMUifs* 3. Sarah, born May 1, 1757, married, 1786, Dr. E. Peirson, and died February 12, 1831. By a second wife, Hannah Clarke (born February 27, 1724, and died August 1785), whom he, H. Bromfield, married September 25, 1762, he had one child, Elizabeth, born August 19, 1763, married. 1796, to I). D. Rogers, Esq., and died May 5, 1833, having had issue John and Henry B. Rogers, Esqs., and two daughters, one, wife of Mr. Henry Slade, and the other, Hannah, wife of Powell Mason, Esq., of Boston. 4. Sarah, born April 21, 1732, married Jeremiah Powell, of North Yarmouth, and died March, 1806, ae. 74. 5. Thomas, born October 30,1733, went to England, where he died, May, 1816, 33. 83. 6. Mary, born October 7, 1736, married William Powell, Esq., of Boston, and died 1786. Their daughter, Anna Dummer Powell, born 1770, married, 1800, Thomas Perkins, Esq., and died September 11, 1848, 33. 78. Their children were, 1. Powell Perkins, Esq.; 2. Anna P . M., wife to Henry Bromfield Rogers, above named; 3. , wife of F. C. Loring, Esq. 7. Elizabeth, born November 5, 1739, died April, 1814, 83. 75. 8. John, born January 6, 1743, married Ann, daughter of Robert Roberts, of Newburyport, who came from Wales. He died February, 1807. One of the children of this marriage was JOHN BROMFIELD, born in Newburyport, April 11, 1779, who, after a life of singular energy and independence, died in Boston, 8 December, 1849, having before given twenty-five thousand dollars to the Boston Athenasum, and leaving, by his will, one hundred and ten thousand dollars more, for public and benevolent purposes. The EDWARD BROMFIELD mentioned above, who died in 1746, was graduated at Harvard College in the year 1745, and was remarkable not only for his excellent character and disposition, but, according to an account of him from the pen of Rev. T. Prince, in the American Magazine for December, asromnetn ant* 9 & C l i f p * . 257 1746, for rare genius and accomplishments. In his sketches from nature he showed a fine taste, and great command of the pencil; his knowledge of mathematics was remarkable for his years, while his skill and genius as a mechanic and inventor promised a ripe harvest, had his life been spared. He left maps, executed most accurately, and with the greatest delicacy, in all the various styles of projection, by his own hand; curious dials, of a new pattern ; many optical instruments, of his own devising. He had invented, for his own usa, a new system of short hand; his taste in music was rare, and, for amusement, he made, with his own hands, a fine organ, with two rows of keys, and many hundred pipes, — planned for twelve hundred, when finished, but his death intervened before he fully carried out his design. The workmanship of these keys and pipes was exceedingly nice and curious, much superior to any that had been imported ; and a late History of Music adds that " this was the first organ ever built in this country." It is an additional proof of his skill and genius that he had but looked a few times into the inside works of some organs imported from England. Optics was, however, we are told, his favorite science ; and he asserted that he knew a way of making the rays of the sun sufficient to warm a parlor in the coldest weather; and, from the statement of the magazine, he would seem to have almost set out on the road since so diligently trodden by Agassiz, in his minute investigations of animal and vegetable life. At a time when such tastes were rare in this country, the loss of his genius and patient industry must have been a great one to the community. The HON. WILLIAM PHILLIPS, above mentioned, into the possession of whose descendants this tomb has passed, belonged to the Phillips family which springs from the Rev. GEORGE PHILLIPS, of Watertown, who was the son of Christopher Phillips, and born in Norfolk county, England, 1593; educated at Tittleshall, in that county; graduated at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, 1617; came with Gov. Winthrop to New England, 1630; settled at Watertown, and died 2C8 3SromfteitJ a n n $ $ i I It p s • there, July 1, 1644. By his first wife, who was probably the sister of John Hayward, of Charlestown (compare Hayward's will, at Charlestown, 29 December, 1672; Rev. S. Phillips of Rowley's will, Salem, 1696; the volume called " E s t a t e s , " 1, 253, at the state-house; and Cotton Mather's statement, that Mrs. George Phillips was "an only daughter''''), he had Rev.

The BRATTLE family was so well known, in colonial times, for wealth, public spirit, and distinction in scientific pursuits, that we need not swell our little volume by transcribing what will be found in all the biographical dictionaries. A few items, therefore, of its early genealogy, are all we shall give. THOMAS BRATTLE, the first of the name in this country, came, probably, judging from his inventory, from Goodhurst, in England, arriving here in 1638. He married Elizabeth, eldest daughter of William Ting, by his second wife, Elizabeth Coytmore, only daughter of Rowland Coytmore and Katherine Myles. (See MSS. of Rev. William Brattle ; Sufiolk Deeds, Lib. 4, pp. 5 and 8 9 ; and "Estates," at state-house, vol. 1, p. 185.) Their children were all born in Boston, and were, 1.

Mr. Thomas Bridge was born at Hackney, in England, in 1656; was regularly educated at Oxford. His first place of residence in North America was West Jersey; he there also received an invitation to settle as a minister of the Gospel, refused this call, arrived in Boston on the 17th of March, 1704. He was regularly installed as a colleague pastor with Messrs. Allen and Wadsworth, May 10th, 1705. He had been settled as a clergyman previously; preached at Jamaica and Bermuda; at each of these places had received an invitation to settle as a minister of the Gospel. 38riH0-e. 261 The following is an answer to a vote of the First Church of Christ in Boston, from Rev. Thomas Bridge, dated March 31, 1705. "DEARLY BELOVED: I havo entertained your former invitation, and this also, with fear and trembling, being sensible of the greatness of the work, and my manifest infirmities: but I am not my own: and my encouragement is, that the grace of Christ is sufficient for me. I have therefore solemnly, freely and entirely resigned myself up to his dispose, and find satisfaction therein. I bless his glorious name for the acceptance my labors have found amongst you; and looking upon it, as his work, that you have hearts inclined to give me this call. I therefore thankfully and willingly accept it. Ch. Rec. "THOMAS B R I D G E . " In the unsuccessful expedition which, in 1707, was made against Port Royal, he was appointed by the Governor and Council to accompany the commissioners. June 5, the church voted its consent to his compliance. He sailed from Boston July 5, and returned on the first of September following. " Mr. Bridge was upright in his dealings, of kind affections, devout in his habits, and irreproachable in morals; prayer was his gift, and the Bible his library; and so sincere and strong were his expressions of humility, that he frequently kindled a blush on the cheek of the froward man, and shamed the ambitious out of their love of distinction. He received the degree of Master of Arts, in 1712, from Harvard College; his name is affixed to the class which was graduated in 1675;" Rev. Mr. Thomas Bridge, senior pastor of the First Church, died, in the fifty-ninth year of his age, and the eleventh of his ministry in this church, 26th September, 1715 (Ch. Rec.) Dr. Cotton Mather says of him, " Being invited to the pastoral care of a flock whose famous predecessors were to be succeeded, the light was fixed in a candlestick, and shone for eleven years together, some of the rays of which we have in his printed compositions." He was not easily excited; yet his patriotism was warm, and he omitted no opportunity to manifest his love for the civil and religious liberties of the 262 ftriBfle. country. "Rev. Mr. Thomas Bridge died suddenly, on Sept. 26th, 1715. " His funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Colman; his remains were treated with particular respect." The church voted to pay his funeral charges, which amounted to £104." Mrs. Elizabeth Bridge, relict of Rev. Mr. Thomas Bridge, died May 22d, 1722. Upon the records of the First Church we find, Sarah Bridge, daughter of the pastor, born March 1st, 1705, bap. March 4.

" Thomas Bridge, son of Thomas and his wife, Elizabeth Bridge, born October 31st, 1709, at six o'clock in the morning. Bap. November 6th, 1709." The birth of a son was considered a very important event in this family, as there had been a great deficiency in male heirs. Mr. Bridge made arrangements with his family in England that this son should be educated in England. His only brother came to America for the boy, who died very young, of the small-pox. No male of this family in America. His first place of residence in North America was West Jersey, where he came, with his wife and four daughters : Elizabeth, Ellen, Lydia, Copia.

His house was burnt down, in King-street, in the great fire of March 11,1760. Being quite ill at this time, and confined to his bed, he was removed to Mr. Story's house. His tomb is in the Granary Ground, numbered 172.

He was appointed secretary of state, pro. tern., 1714. He was register of probate in 1716, and was a lawyer by profession. In the New England Weekly Journal of November 25, 1728, is the following notice : " Whereas a scheme is projected for erecting an Assurance Office for houses and household goods from loss and damage by fire in any part of the Province of Massachusetts Bay, by the name of the New England Saving Fire Office in Boston [&c, &c.]. That the said Scheme or Proposals may be seen at the office of Mr. Joseph Marion, on the North side of the Court House on Exchange in Boston." Mr. Marion had great respect, veneration and esteem, for woman, her character and intellectual endowments; he educated his daughters as he would have educated sons, following the example of his honored father-in-law, Rev. Mr. Thomas Bridge. They were accomplished in the languages, painting, drawing and needlework. " M r . Joseph Marion was very aristocratic and exclusive, valued himself upon his pedigree, had a genealogy of his family upon parchment, illuminated and painted as though it had just come from the limner's and printer's hands." As I have been informed by a relative of his wife's, this parchment was destroyed when his house was burnt. " He was the first person who put up tablets or monuments upon the church walls in Boston." He would not allow his remains to be put in the tomb with his wife and daughter. He requested his son-in-law, Mr. William Story, and the sexton, at his death, to place his coffin in a certain spot, which he had often pointed out to them. At his decease, 23 266 ifcartotu upon digging, they found a brick tomb, cemented, large enough to contain one coffin. Anna Marion, daughter of Joseph Marion, died at Ipswich, 17—.

He was at Trenton and other battles. When his regiment was disbanded, he returned to Boston, and resumed his practice as a physician.

His execution took place on Gallows Hill, in Salem. A letter from him, dated July 23d, 1692, addressed to Rev. Cotton Mather and others, shows him to have possessed a mind and principles far in advance of the age in which he lived. Although his life was sacrificed by an infatuated and base faction, his condition was far preferable to that of those who condemned him.

P. BELL AND CRAF TS. (p. 191.) This tomb has the name of John Gray on the ancient plan accompanying this volume, put on through mistake. I t was built in the year 1790 by Thomas Crafts and Thomas Bell. Thomas Crafts, Sen., father of Thomas, was the first person 272 Bell an* Grafts. deposited in the tomb. He died in 1794, aged 82. Thomas Crafts Bell, a child of Thomas Bell, was the second. Ann Crafts, wife of Thomas Crafts, Sen., died January 31st, 1796, aged 85. They left four children, William, Thomas, Hannah (afterwards the wife of Thomas Bell) and Ebenezer. Eben. and William migrated to South Carolina, and entered into business as merchants. By the French spoliations they became bankrupt. Their descendants have, to this day, demands against the United States government for these long-neglected claims. Thomas Crafts was born April 9, 1767 ; died August 26, 1798, aged 31 years. He was an attorney-at-law, and received the appointment as Consul of Bordeaux. He is spoken of as a man of education, good heart, sound morals, and genuine wit, well informed in the politics of his country, strongly attached to its true interests, which he defended with zeal through the columns of the Columbian Centinel. Thomas Bell married Hannah Crafts, daughter of Thomas Crafts, Sen. They had eleven children: Daniel, Nancy, William, Thomas C , Sally, Betsey, John, Edward, Samuel, Hannah and Frances. They left town the day before the battle of Bunker Hill. The father was not allowed to go. The British prohibited the carrying away of any provisions, being besieged by the Americans, and their supply cut off. But the mother contrived to get a feather bed into the ferry-boat, with a couple of legs of bacon, and some flour, sugar, & c , sewed up in it, before the sentinel had an opportunity of sticking his bayonet into it. They arrived safely, with their children and provisions, on the Charlestown side, where the old Charlestown bridge now is. So strict were the orders carried out in regard to provisions, that a sentinel on Boston neck, leading to Roxbury, took away the gingerbread from the little children, saying " it was too good for rebels." Thomas Bell died November 23, 1808, aged 82, and was buried in this tomb. Hannah Bell died September 8, 1817, aged 89, and was likewise buried in this tomb. Of the children, Daniel, Thomas, Nancy, William, Sally, Edward, Hannah and Frances, were buried in this tomb. Belt ano drafts. 273 John and Betsey settled in Greenfield, in this state. Samuel is now living, upwards of eighty-four years of age. Daniel Bell, eldest son of Thomas and Hannah, served as a captain in the army of the Revolution, and was in the battle of Bunker Hill; he also served his country in the war of 1812. He died October 9th, 1831, in the 81st year of his age. Sarah, his wife, died August, 1813. William D. Bell, son of Daniel, died in New York, September 6, 1843, aged 54, and was buried in this tomb. He was married, January 12, 1812, to Joann Parkman, daughter of William and Lydia Parkman, who died at the ages, William 43, and Lydia 84, and were buried in the Copp's Hill Burial-ground, in the tomb of Jonathan Mountfort, being descendants of that family. The descendants of Thomas Bell and Hannah Crafts, five generations, are now in this tomb. Thomas Bell, of Roxbury, was admitted freeman in 1636. Eight persons of the name of Bell had graduated at the New England colleges, of whom was Hon. Samuel Bell, LL. D., of Chester, N. H., and is a grandson of John Bell, an early inhabitant of Londonderry, N. H. Thomas Bell, member of the Artillery Company, 1654, may have been the one who died in Boston, June 7th, 1654. His son Joseph was born in 1653. William Bell built the King's Chapel as far as the gallery windows. A piece of stone, while he was at work in the chapel, struck him in the eye; inflammation set in, and in three days after the accident he died. He was buried under the chapel. After the tomb was built, they pronounced it fit for use ; but, while they T ore removing his remains to the tomb, the roof fell in, the men narrowly escaping with their lives. His body was then placed in a grave, until the tomb could be rebuilt. Nancy Dickason, whose maiden name was Nancy Bell, daughter of Thomas Bell, from whom the above information was received, died suddenly at Lynn, May 24th, 1852, up- 274 SMtts. wards of 80 years of age, in three days after these facts were obtained.

He was an eminent merchant, and a man of great prominence in the social and political circles of his day. He married a sister of Governor Bowdoin, and died during the siege of Boston, leaving the following issue: three sons, John, Samuel $itts. 275 and Lendail, and one daughter, Elizabeth, who married Col. Warner, of Portsmouth, N. H. His eldest son, the Hon. John Pitts, was a graduate of Harvard University, and, according to Frothingham's " Siege of Boston " (page 22), " a man of large wealth and large influence, a zealous patriot, and one of the Provincial Congress, and on other boards." He is mentioned in the works and letters of John Adams, and was a confidential correspondent of Samuel Adams, during the Revolution. He was associated with such men as Bowdoin (his uncle), Hancock, Quincy, Prescott and James Otis ; and acted with John Scollay, Samuel Austin and Oliver Wendell, as one of the selectmen of Boston, during the siege ; and met General Washington, and tendered to him, in writing, the thanks and congratulations of the town, when it was evacuated by the British. At his house and at his father's the patriotic clubs were held and entertained. He married a daughter of Judge John Tyng, and their only child, Elizabeth, married Robert Brinley, Esq., of Tyngsborough, where she now resides. Samuel Pitts, the second son of the Hon. James Pitts and Elizabeth Bowdoin his wife, was born in Boston, in 1745; died March 6, 1805. He was a gentleman of great hospitality and refined manners, and was a zealous patriot. He married a daughter of William Davis, Esq., of Boston, and left the following issue, namely : James, Thomas, John, William Lendail, Mary, Sarah Chardon and Samuel, Lendail Pitts, the youngest son of the Hon. James Pitts and Elizabeth Bowdoin his wife, was born in Boston, and died December 31st, 1787. He took an active local part in the struggle for independence, and, as is related in Hewes' biography of him, was a member and leader in the celebrated " Tea Party." He was a merchant of Boston. Married Elizabeth, daughter of Timothy Fitch, Esq., of Medford, and left the following issue, namely: William, who died in Boston, June, 1846, aged 6 7 ; James Lendail, who died in Boston, August, 1798, aged 1 8 ; Elizabeth Warner (the wife and 276 Slptjjo v p . widow of Gerard Cazeaux, formerly French Consul at Portsmouth, N. H., and subsequently consul-general at New York) was born in Boston, December 25th, 1782, and died at Medford, July 13, 1851. Margaret Gordon, second daughter of Lendall Pitts, was born in Boston, in 1784, and died at the residence of Benjamin Joy, Esq., August 17, 1823, aged 39. Charles, third son of Lendall and Elizabeth Pitts, was born in Boston, and died in 1806. P. APTHOKP. (p. 135.) Charles Apthorp, whose monument is in King's Chapel, on the north side, near the vestry, was son of John Apthorp and Susan his wife, whose maiden name was Ward, of the family of Lord Ward, of Bixley, now Bexley, England. Her portrait, painted by Sir Peter Lely, and showing her to have been remarkably beautiful, remains in the family. Charles Apthorp was born in England, A. D. 1698, and was educated at Eton. After the death of his father, he came to New England, and became one of the most distinguished merchants of Boston. He was paymaster and commissary, under the English government, of the land and naval forces quartered in Boston. On the 13th January, 1726, he married Grizzell, daughter of John Eastwicke, who married Griselda Lloyd, daughter of Sir John Lloyd, of Somersetshire, England, who assisted in conveying King Charles I I . to France, after the battle of Worcester. To this family belonged James Lloyd, who emigrated to America about 1670, and, having resided at Shelter Island, and subsequently at Rhode Island, finally settled in Boston, where he died in 1693. His son Henry married a daughter of John Nelson, a relative of the families of Grenville and Temple. The traditions of the Lloyd family show that it had been both ancient and respectable ; while one of its nearer ancestors having been " Doctor in Physic " to &j>t&orp. 277 Queen Elizabeth probably gave a professional destiny to Dr. James Lloyd, the eminent physician of Boston in the latter half of the last century. Charles and Grizzelle Apthorphad issue eleven sons and seven daughters, of which large family fifteen survived their father. Charles Ward Apthorp, the eldest son, married, in New York, Mary McEvers. His children were three daughters, whose married names were Williamson, Vanden Heuvel, and Shaw. He had also three sons, Charles, James and George, who died unmarried. Of his daughters, Charlotte Augusta was the only one who left descendants. Her husband was John Cornelius Vanden Heuvel, a Dutch gentleman of fortune, who had been Governor of Demarara, and afterwards settled in New York. Maria Eliza, their eldest daughter, married John C. Hamilton, a son of the celebrated Alexander Hamilton ; another daughter, Justine, Mr. Bibby; and a third, Susan Annette, Thomas Gibbes, of South Carolina. Grizzell, the eldest daughter of Charles Apthorp, married Barlow Trecothick, afterwards Lord Mayor of London. Susan, the second daughter, married, 8 October, 1734, Dr. Thomas Bulfinch, and had issue Charles, who married Hannah Apthorp, Anna, who married George Storer, and Elizabeth, who married Joseph Coolidge. She died 15 February, 1815, aged 80 years. John, the second son, went to England, and became connected in business with the house of Tomlinson & Trecothick. He married Alicia Mann, of Windsor, sister of Sir Horace Mann, many years resident British minister at Florence. Mr. Apthorp embarked for Italy, with his wife, who was in a very hazardous state of health, and who died at Gibraltar, leaving two daughters, under the care of their grandmother, at Windsor. He pursued his travels in Italy, and afterwards returned to Boston, where he married Hannah Greenleaf, daughter of Stephen Greenleaf, high sheriff of the county of Suffolk, under the British government. He lived about four years at Brighton, when he embarked, with his wife, from New York 24 278 SI pt& o r p . for Charleston, S. C , to enjoy a warmer winter climate ; and they were lost at sea. The children, two daughters and one son, were left under the care of their grandfather, who attended most faithfully to their interest and education, and lived to see his granddaughters married, one to Charles Bulfinch, her cousin, and the other to Charles Vaughan, son of Samuel Vaughan, Esq., of London. The son, the late Col. John T. Apthorp, married Grace Foster, who lived only one year, leaving an infant. In another year he married her twin sister Mary, by whom he had a numerous family. East Apthorp, the fourth son, was born in Boston in 1733. He received his preparatory education at the Boston Latin School, and was afterwards sent to England, and admitted a student of Jesus College, Cambridge. At the university he formed acquaintance with some of the most eminent men of his day, whose friendship was of great service to him in after life. Having completed his studies, and taken orders, Mr. Apthorp was selected by the Society for Propagating the Gospel as a proper person to be established as a clergyman of the Church of England at Cambridge, in Massachusetts. A church was built, which still stands, and for its chaste proportions is much admired. The establishment was, however, viewed with jealousy, as a step to the introduction of Episcopacy in America, and an attempt to influence the students of the college in their religious opinions. A controversy ensued, which was carried on between him and Dr. Mayhew with acuteness; but with so much acrimony on the part of his opponent, as rendered his situation unpleasant, and determined him to return to his friends in England. He was there soon made vicar of Croydon, and some years after was presented to the rectory of Bow Church, in London, by his friend and college companion, Bishop Porteus. He retained these livings until about the year 1790, when, being afflicted with a dimness of sight, which threatened the total loss of that faculty, he resigned them, in exchange for the prebend of Finsbury. He then retired to pass the evening of life amidst the &$)t!)or p . 279 scenes of his early attachments, and among many of his former friends of the University of Cambridge. Here it pleased Providence to try him with the affliction which he most dreaded, the loss of sight. His blindness was almost total for a number of years before his death, which occurred at the age of eighty-three. Dr. Apthorp was distinguished for soundness of intellect, and for his thorough knowledge of the Hebrew, Greek and Latin languages, and minute acquaintance with the religious rites and practices of antiquity. His published works, besides occasional sermons, consist of two volumes of Discourses on Prophecy, delivered at the Warburton Lecture before the learned and discriminating audience at Lincoln's Inn Chapel; and one volume of an answer to Gibbon's statement of the causes of the rapid spread of Christianity in the first ages. The subtle historian imputes this to the then state of the world, and to mere human causes; while Dr. Apthorp contends, with sound arguments and great learning, that nothing short of divine aid could have enabled the first propagators of Christianity to overthrow the deep-founded and splendid establishments of Paganism, and to substitute in their place the simple, pure, and spiritual system of the Gospel. In his manners Dr. Apthorp was courteous and polite, in his feelings ardent and sincere. Though from education and habits firmly attached to the British constitution and government, he retained a filial regard to his native country, and rejoiced in its progress and improvement. He received with the utmost cordiality such literary men of our country as circumstances led to visit England, and many of them returned impressed with respect to him, and gratitude for the hospitable attentions of himself and family. Dr. Apthorp was married, early in life, to Miss Hutchinson, daughter of Foster Hutchinson, Esq., and niece of Thomas Hutchinson, Governor of Massachusetts, and had by her a numerous family. Her death occurred in 1782. In March, 1787, he married Anne, daughter of J. Crich, Esq., of respect- 280 &j>t$orp. able connections, of Cambridge, in England, by whom he had one daughter. His wife survived him, and his immediate descendants are four single daughters, and two daughters married to Dr. Cory and Bishop Butler, heads of Colleges in the University. His youngest daughter married the son of the celebrated Archdeacon Paley, and his only son, a clergyman of the Church of England, married a niece of the Bishop of London. The remaining members of this large family were as follows : James, b. 17 November, 1731; m. Sarah Wentworth, a descendant of the Wentworths of Wentworth Manor, Yorkshire, England, to which family belonged Thomas "Wentworth, Earl of Strafford. Ann, b. 18 January, 1735-6; m. Nathaniel Wheelwright. They had three sons, John, Charles and Joseph. The second son, Charles, married a daughter of John and Alicia (Mann) Apthorp. Their second daughter, Catharine, married the Rev. Mr. Keane, Professor of Oriental Languages in the East India College, Haileybury. Their fourth daughter, Harriette, married the Rev. Mr. Chevalier, Professor of Mathematics in Durham University. Their son, the Rev. Charles Wheelwright, was Prebendary of Lincoln. He published translations of the tragedies of Seneca and the odes of Pindar, in the thirty-sixth volume of the Classical Library. Henry, b. 19 March, 1736; d. 1762. Stephen, b. 10 March, 1737-8. Joseph, b. 22 April, 1739; d. 1749.

He continued paymaster of the British forces after his father's death, from 1758 to 1776, when he went to England, and lived several years at Ludlow, Wales. He visited Lisbon for health, where he married. He returned to Ludlow, where he died, leaving a widow and one son. Catharine, b. 21 November, 1742; died young. aSuif i n c j i • 281 George, b. 2 February, 1744 ; died young. Robert, b. 2 March, 1745 ; died young.

Adino Bulfinch came to this country, from England, in 1680, and engaged actively in commercial pursuits in Boston. In public town-meeting he was chosen Surveyor of Highways, in 1700, which choice was repeated in 1708. He had four sons, — John, Samuel, Adino, and Thomas. By his will he bequeathed a valuable property to his children ; a mansionhouse, a warehouse on Butler's Wharf, with several other houses, and — a trait of the times — his silver-hilted sword. His son Thomas was educated at Paris for the practice of physic, completed his studies there in 1721, and returned to Boston in 1722. He married Judith Colman, daughter of John Colman, a distinguished merchant of Boston, in 1724. Dr. Thomas Bulfinch (the first of that name) had only two children, — Thomas and Judith. The daughter was married to Dr. Samuel Cooper, minister of Brattle-street Church ; and his son Thomas, after graduating at Harvard College, studied physic with his father, and went to Edinburgh, where he resided some time, to complete his education. After four years' residence in Europe, he came home, on his father's death, and entered upon practice. He married, 13 September, 1759, Susan Apthorp, second daughter of Charles Apthorp, Esq. They had a number of children, three only of whom arrived at marriageable age. Charles, the only son, born 8 August, 1763, was married, 20 November, 1788, to Hannah, eldest daughter of John Apthorp; Anna, to George 24* 282 33ultincJ>. Storer, May, 1795 ; and Elizabeth, to Joseph Coolidge, 20 September, 1796. Charles Buifinch graduated at Harvard College in 1781, and spent a year in travelling in Europe, where he imbibed a taste for architecture, which afterwards became his profession. Returning home in 1786, he soon became distinguished for his public spirit and zeal for the improvement of his native town. He was a member of the board of selectmen in 1789, and chairman of the board in 1797, which office he held for twenty-one years. During this period many of the most important improvements now existing in Boston were effected ; among others, the buildings forming Franklin-place, the State House, the City Hall, the General Hospital, were erected, and Faneuil Hall greatly enlarged ; ail of which were executed from his plans, and under his direction. In the year 1818 he was appointed by President Monroe architect of the Capitol of the United States, at Washington. This building was reerected from the ruins left after the conflagration by the British in 1814, in general conformity with designs of the original architects, but with such modifications as Mr. Buifinch's taste suggested. He also superintended the construction of the Penitentiary of the District of Columbia, and the enlargement of the Post-office building. After the completion of the Capitol, he returned to Boston, and lived in retirement, occupied with his books, and cheered by the society of his wife and children, until, in 1841, death deprived him of the former, who had been the devoted companion of all his varied career, and the best and dearest of his earthly blessings. He died on the 15th April, 1844, and his remains were entombed under the King's Chapel. 283 tit oolCttge, COOLIDGE. (p. 189.) JOSEPH COOLIDGE was born 10 February, 1719, and died 14 September, 1771. He was son of John and Hannah (Ingram) Coolidge, and great-grandson of John Coolidge, a " planter" on Charles River, who took the Freeman's oath on the 25th May, 1636, was Selectman of Watertown in 1639, and frequently afterward, and in 1658 was chosen Representative to the General Court. This family is believed to be the same with that of " Brian Coulriche, alias Coulridge, of Touzege, Bucks, England, whose daughter Ursula married (1480) Geoffrey Dormer, grandson of Geoffrey Dormer of Westwykham, and whose arms were three fleurs de lys azure, on a field argent.'''' Joseph Coolidge married Marguerite Olivier, daughter of Antoine Olivier, a Huguenot, who, with his relatives of the Segourne and Germaine families, embarked at La Rochelle for New England, in consequence of the revocation of the edict of Nantes, in 1685. He subsequently removed to Nova Scotia. Marguerite Olivier was born at Annapolis Royal, N. S., 8th November, 1726, and was thrice married : first, to Joseph Coolidge, of Boston; secondly, to Captain Jennison, of Lancaster ; and thirdly, to Dr. Wheeler, of Worcester. After the dispersion of the French Protestant Church and Society, in 1748, she became a member ofihe Old South Church. She died on the 25th October, 183r6, and was buried in King's Chapel, in the tomb of h€t son. Mr. Coolidge was also a member of the church. JOSEPH COOLIDGE, born 27th July, 1747, 0 . S.; died 6th October, 1820. He was the son of Joseph and Marguerite (Olivier) Coolidge, and was twice married, namely, in 1772 to Elizabeth Boyer, and in 1788 to Katherine Boyer, daughters of Daniel and Elizabeth (Bulfinch) Boyer, and connected, through their father, with the Boyer, Segourne, and Johon- 284 <& o o I i U JB e • not families, who came together from La Rochelle ; and, through their mother, descended from Adino Bulfinch, who came to this country about 1680. Mr. Coolidge was a merchant, distinguished for his integrity, activity, and punctuality. He enjoyed the fortune which he acquired with gratitude, and dispensed it liberally. He was eminently public-spirited. In early life, in the commencement of the Revolution, he was an ardent "son of liberty," and took an active part in some of those measures which had for effect to sever the bond of colonial dependence, and give this country a national existence. For many years he was a Director in the branch of the United States Bank in this city; afterwards of the Massachusetts Bank; one of the first and most active Directors of the Middlesex Canal Corporation ; and, until the time of his death, a member of the Humane Society. He was also one of the earliest and most liberal members of King's Chapel. The following extract is from an obituary published the week succeeding his death: " Mr. Coolidge was a remarkable man. God had given him a fine form of body ; a manly, open, and prepossessing countenance ; a clear and accurate mind; a cheerful, constant, and uncommon flow of spirits; courteous manners, and a feeling heart. His naturally firm constitution continued unimpaired almost to the close of life. When death approached, he met it with calmness and resignation, and left a name dear to his family and friends." JOSEPH COOLIDGE, son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Boyer) Coolidge, was born the 15th March, 1773, and died the 15th November, 1840. At the close of our Revolution, Mr. Coolidge was sent to France for his education, and passed several years at the Royal Military College of Soreze, near Toulouse. He subsequently travelled extensively in Europe, and, returning to this country, married Elizabeth, daughter of Dr. Thomas and Susan (Apthorp) Bulfinch. <£ o o U Dfie • 285 Entering upon active life in the possession of competent fortune, he did not long pursue business as a profession, but gave his energies to the promotion of plans for the public good. Freely contributing from his own funds, he could with force and propriety solicit aid from others; and, never wearying of this irksome labor, his exertions were most useful and effective. One object which he embraced with great zeal was the establishment of the Massachusetts General Hospital. To those wrho see this institution in its present state of perfection and usefulness, it is hardly conceivable that so recently as 1818 it was first projected. From the day of its completion it has been a blessing and an honor to the State, and has won for itself the patronage of numerous wealthy benefactors. But it is not the less true that, when it was first projected, it required all the energies of the enlightened and benevolent to commence and carry it forward to completion. None labored more zealously or more usefully in its cause than Mr. Coolidge ; and he continued, for many years after its completion, to give it the aid of his services as Visiter and Trustee. Another object which, at a later period, Mr. Coolidge embraced with his accustomed ardor, was the establishment of Railways in Massachusetts. At a time when capitalists looked coolly on such projects, and they weTe left entirely to young men with more ardor than means, Mr. Coolidge, almost alone of his class, subscribed largely, and, with full faith, argued and pleaded with others in their support. In speculative enterprises, which had nothing to recommend them but the prospect of gain, he took no part. Eminently hospitable, he delighted to welcome his friends and strangers visiting the city; while, at the same time, his bounty to the poor flowed freely in numerous channels. His home was known to all the necessitous. They knew by experience that there the claim of distress was never urged without effect. Mr. Coolidge was decided in his political and in his religious attachments, but towards those of different sentiments most candid and liberal. While political strife ran highest, he had 286 3Uo£0. friends in the ranks of both parties; and to religious sects differing from his own he gave, on various occasions, efficient aid in erecting their houses of worship, and removing their embarrassments. In all the relations of domestic life his character shone brightly. A most devoted husband, a most indulgent father, liberal and considerate of the feelings of all, at his death the grief of those around him was not limited by the ranks of relationship, and amply testified to the affection he inspired.

His only daughter, Sarah, married John Bradford, Esq., of this city. 3. William Clark Tyler, second son of Royall, had his name changed to Royall, by act of the General Court. He studied law with the Hon. Benjamin Hitchbom, and established himself in Quincy in the profession. He was aid-de-camp to Gov. Bowdoin at the time of the Shays Rebellion, and subsequently removed to Vermont, where he held for many years the office of Chief Justice of the state. He married Mary, daughter of the Hon. Joseph Pearse Palmer, one of the " Boston tea party," and died at Brattleboro', Vermont, his place of residence, in 1826. His widow, one son, and two daughters, are now living there. Two of his sons, General John Steel Tyler and William C. Tyler, are now residents of Boston. Returning to the children of THOMAS TYLER, — ANDREW, third son, married Miriam, daughter of William Pepperell, before mentioned, and died in 1740, leaving a large family.

Sabage, SAVAGE, 297 (p. 32.) " The very ancient Anglo-Norman house of Savage was settled at Portaferry, county Down, since the time of the first conquest of Ireland by John de Courcy, Earl of Ulster, in 1117. Under that famous warrior, the original ancestor in Ireland established himself in the county of Down, and, by a written document, dated 1 September, 1205, in the Tower of London, we find 'Robin, son of William Savage,' named as one of De Courcy's hostages for his appearance before King John. Sir John de Savage was engaged with Edward I. at the memorable siege of Oarlaverock, in Scotland; and there, for his signal service, was, with Thomas, his brother, created Knight Banneret. Sir John Savage (ancestor of the Earls of Rivers) commanded the left wing of the Earl of Richmond's army at Bosworth Field, and was afterward made a Knight of the Garter by Henry V I I . " — Burke's Landed Gentry. This family was distinguished by the herald's device thus : Argent, six lions rampant, sable, langued gules ; crest, a lion's gamb erect sable. These armorial bearings are elegantly sculptured on the horizontal slab resting on Major Savage's tomb, except the colors, which the herald had not then learned to express in engravings or sculpture. Major Savage was a man of high public spirit. Disgusted with the treatment of the majority towards Wheelwright and Sir Henry Vane's friends, he, with his brother-in-law, Hutchinson, Gov. Coddington, and others, in 1638, removed to Rhode Island. He soon returned, however, to Boston, recovered his former standing with early friends, and was often one of the representatives of the town; and, in the trying times of 1665, was respected for his moderation. He was one of those who undertook, in 1673, to erect a barricade in the harbor, for security against a fleet then expected from Holland. Out of this barricade grew, in less than forty years, Long wharf. He was Speaker of the House in 1659, and, in 1676, was Chief of the Massachusetts forces in King Philip's 298 Sabage. war, and, in 1680, was chosen one of the assistants, in which situation he died, February 14, 1682, aged 75. The Rev. Samuel Willard preached a funeral sermon from Isaiah 57 : 1. He was pastor of the Third Church, of which Major Savage was one of the founders, at the secession occasioned by the coming of Davenport from New Haven to the First. # The following lines, from the manuscript of an unknown cotemporary of the lamented Major Savage, display, it seems to us, an uncommon share of poetic inspiration. The exuberant fancy and overwrought diction of the writer would seem to indicate that he had breathed an ardent and not unsuccessful aspiration " for a muse of fire, that would transcend the highest heaven of invention." Many of the rhetorical figures and flourishes of the author may seem to us of the present day as in bad taste ; and some of the lines are imperfect in measure and rhythm ; but, as a whole, the production is one of much literary merit, for the age in which it was written. Great and good as may have been the subject of this eulogistic tribute, it is apparent that the " flattering unction " has been laid on a little too thick for modern taste to deem consistent with probable truth. But it should be remembered that the allopathic doses of a former age embodied essentially no more than the homoeopathic doses of the present; that the boluses of the ancient dispensatory were as easily swallowed as the minuter pills of the modern. The British Quarterly Review, in a recent notice of the Christian philosopher, Robert Boyle, the patron of Christian enterprises in New England, especially of our renowned townsman, Eliot, and the time of whose death, in 1691, was almost identical with that of Major Savage, well expresses our meaning, when it says, with reference to the extravagant praises which his cotemporaries and immediate successors bestowed on him, " These praises, however, are more extravagant in appearance than in reality. A sceptical, critical, practical age, like our own, uses fewer words and more subdued expressions, even when its praise is hearty and * N. E. Historical and Genealogical Register, vol. i. .Sabajje. 299 sincere, than it was the fashion of our forefathers to employ in paying ordinary compliments." A FUNERAL ELEGY on the Sudden and much-Lamented Death and Expiration of that Worthy, grave, Pious and Everyway accomplished Hero — Major THOMAS SAVAGE, Esq'r.; who Departed this Life the 14th of February, 1682, in the 76th year of his age. Now Let the nine their forces all unite, & Clubb their wits to inspire my slender Quill, While I this Worthy's Elegy doe write.

The night Commandress, over spread of late With Total Darkness, Clothed in mournful hue, Seemed to forebode our sad Eclipse of State, And our Distressing Troubles to renew. When such Stars fall, well may it us affright, In sense of our departing Glory's Light, Lest we should covered be with Dismal Shades of night. Great King of Terrors, art Thou not content To rage and Tyranise uncessantly Ouer the mortals of a mean descent, And fill thy craving maw with Peasantry, But thou must climbing and aspiring be To snatch our men of note and high Degree, And make them feel Thy Power and bow their heads to Thee ! He was, in carriage, courteous, and free From affectation — charming every one; All must Lament that now Spectators be, And his sad fall most heartily bemoan. Grieve then in earnest: he that shall forbear Upon his hearse to Drop a brinish tear, Lett him depart from hence, noe room is for him hero. Satap. Hee was a magasin of Military Skill To exercise the war-like trayne; He could command their Posters at his will, And with a word reduce them back again. Let Ensigns their mournful anchents [standards] vaile, And Drums in Doleful tunes his Death bewail, Make muskets drooping move & Pikes in dust to trail. This worthy Captain now hath ledd the way, Each officer now must follow in his place; Hee hath slain Death itself & got the day, Obtained the prize of Glory, won the Race: Make ready then with speed — Drum, groan a call, And with hoarse notes alarum the Soldiers all, In mourning to attend this solemn funeral. Hee was a Pattern of grate Piety, Indeavoring God's Glory to advance; His steady and Devout sincerity In holy walking did his grace enhance; God greatly honoured him, and he againe Did strive to honour God with might and maine; Then sure the Grace of God was not with him in vaine. A worthy Senator — great, grave, and wise; Who showed his Rise of more than Common Blood; Judicious in every enterprise, he was Concerned for the Publick good; A wakeful statesman of an Eagle eye, Who could, beforehand, future dangers spy, And greatly did bewail our hastening misery. And must we leave him silent in the dust, (Yet let us in our hearts Record his name,) Until the Resurrection of the Just, Who shall with trumpet sound Proclaime, While we Remaine in our Combatings, And his Blessed Soul with Angels sweetly sings Eternal Hallelujahs to the King of Kings. Here lyes inshrined in this arched room The Quintessence of worth, whose very tombe ®L b e x 2 . 301 Is full of fragrance, and his Sacred Dust Rests; while his Soul is Blessed with the Just. Could grace or gravity, wisdom or sense, Have kept him here, he had not gone from hence, But still had in our Orbe shone bright & clear With yielding lusture in our Humble Sphere. But, reader, since thou seest him in this state, His grace and virtue learn to imitate; Tread in his stepps, and Walk Incessantly, To live with him in Bliss Eternally. ANAGRAM. Thomas Savage — Ah so age must. J . W . T. AVERY, (p. 85.) D R . WILLIAM AVERY was in Dedham as early as 1653, the birth of his son Jonathan being recorded there in that year. His wife Margaret died in Dedham 28 Sept., 1678. He afterwards married Mary , of Boston, and was thus led to remove to this place. Here he opened an apothecary's shop, said to have been the first ever established in New England. He was a member of the Artillery Company in 1654, and is styled Lieutenant. Whitman, in his history of that company (2d edit., p. 164), states that he was representative for Springfield in 1669. " In 1680, Capt. Daniel Fisher and Ensign Fuller report that Dr. William Avery, now of Boston, but formerly of the Dedham church, out of his entire love to this church and town, freely gives into their hands sixty pounds, for a Latin school, to be ordered by the selectmen and elders. This fund was for many years in the hands of trustees ; but it was either wrongly appropriated, or discredited by the operation of bills of credit, and there is scarcely a man who knows that such a donation was ever made." * * Worthington's History of Dedham, p . 37. 26 302 &b e r g . Dr. Avery, it is evident, was a man of superior education; and this donation manifests his appreciation of its value and importance. His will is on file, but not on record, in the Suffolk Probate Office. It is handsomely written, with his own hand, dated October 15,1683, and sealed, and re-declared to be his will, March 13,1687. His three sons, William, Robert and Jonathan, are mentioned as executors of the will. He there says : " Concerning my part in several mines, my will is that a third part of all the profit y* shall arise to any and all my children from said mines shall be improved for publick and charitable uses, according to their own discretion." He appoints his " well beloved friends, Mr. John Wilson, of Medfield, and Mr. William Adams, of Dedham," the respective ministers of the churches in those places, to be the overseers of his will. A fac simile of the autograph, as affixed to the will, is here given. ^ J f o ^ f r f j y The Averys were a highly respectable family in Dedham, for nearly two centuries. The descendants are now widely dispersed; some of them, with other surnames, being still residents in that town, and upon a part of the same premises owned by their ancestor near two centuries ago. The last of the name in Dedham was Mr. Jonathan Avery, who died some twenty-five years since. He resided, as some of the family always had, in the old Avery house, now standing in £ast-street, a view of which, and the "brave old o a k " in front of it, may be seen in Barber's Historical Collections of Massachusetts, p. 460. Hon. Edward Everett has made them somewhat classical by entwining them with a wreath of his eloquence, at the celebration of the close of the second century of the settlement of Dedham, in 1836. He says : " It is often said by superficial writers in England that our systems of government are a mere experiment, — the mushroom growth of yesterday; and from this assumed fact of their recent origin & b e rg. 303 their short-lived duration is foreboded. * * * * * * You might as well call the great oak-tree in front of Mr. Avery's house, in East-street, the growth of yesterday, because the broad expanse of its foliage has put forth the present season ; whereas, its acorn was deposited generations ago, and its trunk has braved the blasts of two centuries." * The following were the children of Dr. William Avery : I. DEA. WILLIAM, b. about 1646, having d. 15 D e c , 1708, aged 62 years ; m., 1st, Mary , who d. 11 October, 1681, se. 29 years; 2d, Elizabeth White, 29 August, 1682, who d. 3 October, 1690; 3d, widow Mehitable Worden, 25 August, 1698. II. ROBERT, b. about 1649 ; m. Elizabeth Lane, 13 April, 1676. He d. 3-4 October, 1722, " in ye 73 year of his age." She d. 21 October, 1746, " in ye 91st year of her age," leaving five children, thirty grandchildren, fifty-two great-grandchildren, and two of the fifth generation. III. MARY, m. James Tisdale, 5 November, 1666. Both were living 15 October, 1683, probably at Taunton. IV. RACHEL, m. William Sumner, 22 May, 1676. She d. before 15 October, 1683. He was living at that date. V. JONATHAN, b. 26 May, 1653, inDedham; m., 22 July, 1679, Sybil Sparhawk, dau. of Nathaniel Sparhawk, of Cambridge. He (Jonathan) was a celebrated physician, and probably d. in 1690. His widow afterwards became the wife of the Rev. Michael Wigglesworth, of Maiden, the author of that "fearful" poem, " T h e Day of Doom."f VI. HANNAH, b. 27 Sept., 1660, in Dedham; m. Benjamin Dyer, May 22, 1676. She d. before 15 October, 1683. He was living at that date. VII. EBENEZER, b. 24 November, 1663, in Dedham; d. before 15 October, 1683. Rev. Joseph Avery, the first minister of Norton, Mass., where he was ordained, 26 October, 1714, was son of Dr. * Everett's Orations, vol. n., p. 181. f Some very interesting letters from Rev. Mr. Wigglesworth, addressed to Mrs. Avery previous to their marriage, will be found in the Christian Register, June 1, 1850. There is also an autobiography of him in the same paper for June 29, 1850. 304 &b erg* William's oldest son, William, and his wife Elizabeth; he was born 9 April, 1687, and d. 23 April, 1770. Rev. John Avery, first minister of Truro, where he was ordained November, 1711, was son of Dr. William's second son, Robert. He was born 26 December, 1685, and died 25 April, 1754. He also practised as a physician, while performing his duties as a minister. Rev. Joseph Avery, second minister of Holden, was greatgreat-grandson of Dr. Avery, his father, grandfather, greatgrandfather and great-great-grandfather, all bearing the Christian name of William. He was ordained at Holden, 21 D e c , 1774, and died 5 March, 1824. He was highly respected as a minister. An oration of his, delivered at Holden, July 4, 1806, was published. The late Rev. Samuel Deane, minister of South Scituate, Mass., author of the History of Scituate, and other works, was a descendant of Dr. Avery; his grandmother, Esther, the wife of Deacon William Deane, of Mansfield, being sister of the father of Rev. Joseph Avery, of Holden, and niece of Rev. Joseph of Norton. His autograph is appended. Rev. David Avery, minister of Wrentham from 1786 to 1794, is said to have been from the Dedham Averys, but we have not traced his descent. William R. Deane, of Boston, who has furnished the above facts, intends to prepare a genealogical memoir of the Avery family, for an early number of the " New England Historical and Genealogical Register." W .

A sermon was preached on the occasion of this gentleman's death by Rev. Joseph Sewall, and another at his funeral by Cotton Mather. To the latter is appended the following curious Latin epitaph : EPITAPHIUM. STA, Viator; Tumulumque mirare; Et Lacrymis Publicis adde Tuas; Luge jaoturam Publicam, Si sis pars publici.

It can hardly bo credited that this epitaph was ever actually inscribed on the family tombstone. Yet an old manuscript, believed to be in the handwriting of John Winthrop, F. R. S., the eldest son of the foregoing, and which contains the following translation of the epitaph, speaks of it, as will be observed, as having been " written in Latin on the Winthrop tomb." This old manuscript runs as follows : " The following is the translation of an Epitaph written in Latin on the tomb belonging to the Winthrop family. " STAND Traveller And Admire the Tomb, And to the Public tears add your own; Bewail the public Loss, If of the public you are part. This place is a Prince's Court, Rather than a Tomb.

Among the more recent tenants of this tomb are the late Hon. Thomas Lindall Winthrop, for many years LieutenantGovernor of Massachusetts, and President of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Bowdoin Winthrop, and his elder sister, Mrs. Anne Winthrop Sears, the mother of Hon. David Sears, whose name is inscribed on the present tablet. * The translator has clearly made a mistake in the dates of the birth and death, by not allowing for the Old Style, used in the Latin original, and agreeably to which the year commenced in March. December should be February (1641-2), and September should be November. R. C.

Par Moy Clarencieulx, Moy. " Boston, May 20, 1852. " SIR : Many years ago, in one of my rides with Rev. Mr. Greenwood, he told me an incident of the preceding day that interested me at the time, and some months later I became much more interested, from a fact that seemed to be unconnected with Mr. Greenwood's statement. After the Sabbath morning service, a stranger addressed him, stating that in his childhood he attended that church ; that he had but recently returned to the country, and that his visit here now was to look after the place of burial of his family of old; and that he desired Mr. Greenwood's kind offices in directing his proceedings. Mr. Greenwood told him that he was too feeble to attend to any duty of that sort, and called up the old sexton to do the needful duty. He found the family tomb in a very dilapidated condition, and examined it to the bottom, and 27* 318 2Laug £1 n B r o s • repaired it as it now appears. This person was the son of Dr. Church, of undesirable Revolutionary memory, who had returned, with his family, and was a citizen of Northampton, in this state. On the bottom of the tomb is a slab, stating that " here lies the bones of Lady Anne Andros." I inquired of four of our most intelligent antiquarians if Gov. Andros lost his wife while governor here; their answer was, not that they ever heard of; and I then applied to my friend, Dr. J . V. C. Smith, to hunt up the facts in the case.* He did so, and published them at the time ; and they were highly interesting, as teachers and preachers to the hearts of all the living of this day. Here lies buried the representative of the highest earthly grandeur known among us in 1686, and as much forgotten as the poor German emigrant who now lies buried at Deer Island. Respectfully yours, ' ' AMOS LAWRENCE. ' ' " M R . BRIDGMAN." * On Friday, Feb. 10, 1688, was held the funeral service over Lady Andros, who was buried with all the state attendant on such occasions in England. There is something quite striking in the few words of Judge Sewall's description of what he witnessed of this ceremony. " Between 4 and 5 I went to the funeral of the Lady Andros, having been invited by the d a r k of the South Company. Between 7 and 8 (lychns * illuminating the cloudy air) the corpse was carried into the herse drawn by six horses, the soldiers making a guard from the governor's house down the Prison Lane to the South meeting-house; there taken out and carried in at the western door, and set in the alley before the pulpit, with six mourning women by it. House made light with candles and torches. There was a great noise and clamor to keep people out of the house, that they might not rush in too soon. I went home." * Torches.

He was brother of Edmund and Henry Mountfort, as is fully verified by the inscription on the grave-stone of the former, in the Granary Burial-place, dated 1690. He was an educated, intelligent and enterprising merchant. He was one of the founders of the " King's Chapel," of which he was warden in 1690 and 1696. In 1679 he was member of the " Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company." In 1680, in consequence of his being an Episcopalian, he was permitted by the " General Court " to purchase a lot of ground of Clement Grose, on which he built his warehouse, which was sold by his executors to Francis Boylston, which lot is now occupied by Messrs. Lane and Reed, at the foot of Peirce's Alley, opposite Fanueil Hall. Connected with the reference to the property of Benjamin Mountfort, on the " Town Dock," is a copy of a Writ, issued against Moses Peirse, for cutting down the gates of the same. COPY OF A WRIT AGAINST MOSES PEIRSE, For eutting down the gate to the warehouse of Benjamin Mountfort, at the foot of Exchange Avenue, or Peirce's Alley, namely : To the Marshal of Suffolk or his Deputy or Constable of Boston, — You are required, in his Majesty's name, to attach the goods, and, for want thereof, the body of Moses Peirse, and to take bond of him to the value of ten pounds, with sufficient security for his appearance at the next county court, to be held in Boston, then and there to answer to the complaint of Benjamin Mountfort, in an action of trespass; for that the said Moses Peirse did clandestinely upon the third of October last past, in the night, and also a second time on the thirteenth of this month, cut down and break to pieces the gates of the said Mountfort, fastened to his house, situate in 320 Mu If t n cJ> .

DEAR SIR : I return you my sincere thanks for the volume you so kindly presented to me, containing " Inscriptions on the Gravestones in Northampton and other Towns in the Valley of the Connecticut River." I am gratified to learn that you intend to publish, in three volumes, the epitaphs on Copp's Hill and other cemeteries in Boston. By such commendable efforts to perpetuate the names and characters of those adventurers and honored pioneers to whom we are indebted for civil and religious freedom, and all the blessings we enjoy under our admirable institutions of government, you will be distinguished as the literary Old Mortality of New England. That you will be amply rewarded for the services you are so zealously endeavoring to render your countrymen, I cannot doubt, by the patronage they will extend to you. With assurances of respect, Your much obliged and most obedient servant, H. A. S. DEARBORN. THOMAS BRIDGMAN, ESQ. ^Testimonials, City Hall, Boston, January 2d, 1852. In behalf of the city government, I take pleasure in acknowledging your donation of books to the free city library, consisting of a copy of your work entitled " Epitaphs from Copp's Hill Burial Ground, Boston," and a copy of your work entitled "Inscriptions on Gravestones in Northampton and Springfield." Very respectfully, your obedient servant, JOHN P . BIGELOW, Mayor. MR. THOMAS BRIDGMAN.

Copy of the record. Attest, THOS. WATERMAN, Sec'y. Massachusetts Lodge, Boston, 15 March, 1852.

Bridgman, for his acceptable gift." I am, respectfully and fraternally, Your obedient servant, J . Q. KETTELLE, Sec'y of Mass. Lodge. To BR. THOMAS BRIDGMAN, Boston. £ e s t t m o n t a Is. Boston, 23d June, 1852. MR. THOMAS BRIDGMAN. DEAR SIR : I am happy to tender you the thanks of the New England Hist. Genealogical Society for a copy of " Epitaphs from Copp's Hill Burial Ground," for its library. It is one of those valuable — I might rather say invaluable — contributions to the materials for a history of the city of Boston, which every one regarding the past will, like myself, be highly gratified to see. It is to be hoped you will find encouragement to continue in the same field of labor. Very respectfully, yours, SAMUEL G. DRAKE, Cor. Sec. N. E. H. G. S. Charlestown, Mass., Feb. 10, 1852. At a meeting of King Solomon's Lodge, holden this evening, Br. Thomas Bridgman presented to the Lodge a copy of a work recently compiled by him, entitled " Epitaphs from Copp's Hill Burial Ground," containing, among other very interesting features, a beautiful engraving of the monument erected to our first Grand Master, Major-general JOSEPH WARREN, whereupon it was 11 Voted, That the thanks of the Lodge be tendered to Br. Bridgman, and that the book remain upon the secretary's desk for examination by the brethren." CALEB RAND, Sec'y. To BR. THOMAS BRIDGMAN. Boston, May 31,1852. MR. THOMAS BRIDGMAN. DEAR SIR : Please accept the thanks of the Massachusetts Historical Society, for your laborious and valuable work entitled " Epitaphs from Copp's Hill Burying-Ground." Very respectfully yours, JOSEPH B. FELT, Librarian'. ^Testimonials. Boston, May 26, 1852. DEAR SIR : You are placing coming generations under obligations, to say nothing of the gratification the present will derive from your researches among the tombs. Inscriptions in the burial-yards of Boston are becoming very indistinct. By accurately transcribing them, and giving a volume to the public and to posterity, you are really doing a great work, the full value of which will be appreciated in after times. Those quaint memorials on the old stones illustrate the tone of moral sentiment, religious character, and early history, of those who organized the institutions of the city and commonwealth, which are still the pride and glory of the people. Allow me to express a hope that your efforts may be crowned by the approbation and patronage of the public. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, J . V. C. SMITH. THOS. BRIDGMAN, ESQ. Charlestown, July 2,1852. DEAR SIR : I have examined such portions of your new work, on the Inscriptions in King's Chapel Burying-ground, as you have sent to me in sheets, and shall look with much interest for its publication. The charm of such a work will be found in its strict fidelity to the antiquarian's serious duty, which requires that he present facts of the past with rigid accuracy, and depend for the romance which he wishes them to have upon the moss and the grayishness which centuries of advancing time are always sure to make for a texture and a hue to every thing and every object that has the slightest interest of its own. I think you have not failed to come very near to the high standard of your undertaking. Very respectfully yours, GEORGE E. ELLIS. M R . THOMAS BRIDGMAN.
