Emigrant Samuel Appleton was born in 1586 in England. He arrived in Ipswich in 1635 with his new wife and five children. He would receive the original land grant for his farm in December of 1638. This Samuel would convey the farm to his sons, John and Isaac, in 1688. Isaac’s son, Samuel Appleton (1738- 1819) married Mary White of Nantucket. They remained on the farm and had 12 children. It is presumed that they built a house at the site of the “Old House” when Isaac died in 1794. Today, what was named “Mary White’s Artist unknown Lane” is the path connecting the Date Unknown Waldingfield Road parking lot to the Photo reproduction of an oil painting main farm driveway at Appleton TTOR/Appleton Farms Collection Farms.

He was a Federalist and a Lieutenant Colonel for the Massachusetts Militia in the War of 1812. For these services, the Army later promoted him to the rank of Brigadier General. He also served as the official escort to Lafayette when he visited Boston in 1824. In 1813, at the age of 28, General James was elected to the Massachusetts legislature. A practicing lawyer and politician, he moved to Portland in 1833 and was elected to the Maine legislature, becoming a candidate for governor in 1836. He was known as a “conspicuous advocate” of anti-slavery and prohibition. In 1837, he submitted a American, circa 1820-30 report on the evils of liquor that Attributed to Thomas Cole on early label became the basis of the Maine Oil on canvas Temperance Law of 1846.

Daniel Fuller, pastor of the West Parish Church of Gloucester for 50 years. She was later the wife of General James Appleton, with whom she had 10 children (three sons and seven daughters), three of whom became ministers or married clergymen. Their son, Daniel Fuller Appleton, named for her father, would become the next heir to the farm in 1862. Transcribed below are writings by Sarah Fuller Appleton, c. 1800, perhaps written as a school paper: “How are we to observe and understand the moral maxim ‘always speak the Artist unknown. truth.’ To understand this maxim we Oil on canvas must set a watch upon our tongue, and 30-1/4”H x 25”W always consider well before we speak.

Born in Marblehead, Massachusetts, in 1826 to General James and Sarah Fuller Appleton, his family soon moved to Portland, Maine, where his father was a successful legislator. However, in 1847, at the age of 21, Daniel Fuller Appleton set out for New York to seek his own fortune. Young and full of entrepreneurial promise, Daniel worked for watch importer Royal E.

  • Emmet, Lydia Field American, 1866 - 1952

She is best known as a painter of portraits, particularly of children. Emmet was born in New Rochelle, New York, into a family of female artists. Her mother, Julia Colt Pierson Emmet, her sisters Rosina Emmet Sherwood and Jane Emmet de Glehn, and her cousin Ellen Emmet Rand were all painters. Lydia Emmet’s talent (and enterprise) was apparent early, as she began selling illustrations at the age of 14. In 1884 she accompanied Rosina to Europe, and they studied at the Académie Julian in Paris for six months. During the late 1880s Emmet sold wallpaper designs, made illustrations for Harper’s Weekly, and created stained glass designs for Tiffany Glass Company. From 1889 to 1895 Emmet studied at the Art Students League, where her instructors included William Merritt Chase (American, 1849 - 1916) and Kenyon Cox (American, 1856 - 1919). Chase appointed her an instructor at his Shinnecock Summer School of Art on Long Island, where she taught preparatory classes for several terms. Emmet also posed for one of his most elegant portraits, now in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum. Emmet, Lydia Field 1 © National Gallery of Art, Washington National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS American Paintings, 1900–1945 In 1893 both Emmet and her sister Rosina painted murals for the Women’s Building at the World’s Fair in Chicago.

  • Arthur Tappan
    ARTHUR TAPPAN Lewis Tappan and Arthur Tappan were descendants of Benjamin Franklin (which is perhaps why their father, and another brother, happened to be named Benjamin Tappan). Arthur received a common-school education and then served a 7- year apprenticeship in the hardware business in Boston, before establishing himself in Portland, Maine, and subsequently in Montreal, Canada, where he would remain until the beginning of the war of 1812. In 1814 he would engage with his brother Lewis in importing British dry-goods into New-York City, and after that partnership was dissolved he successfully continued the business alone. He was known for his public spirit and philanthropy. He was a founder of the American tract society, the largest donor for the erection of its 1st building, and was identified with many charitable and religious bodies. He was a founder of Oberlin College, also erecting Tappan Hall there, and endowed Lane Seminary in Cincinnati, and a professorship at Auburn Theological Seminary. With his brother Lewis he founded the New-York Journal of Commerce in 1828, and established The Emancipator in 1833, paying the salary of the editor and all the expenses of its publication. He was an ardent abolitionist, and as the interest in the anti-slavery cause deepened he formed, at his own rooms, the nucleus of the New-York antislavery society, which was publicly organized under his presidency at Clinton Hall on October 2, 1833. He was also president of the American Anti-Slavery Society, to which for several years he contributed $1,000 per month, but withdrew in 1840 on account of the aggressive spirit that many members manifested toward the churches and the Union.

Hewes Number: 60 Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Low studied at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts, and then in Paris with Carolus-Duran and at the Academy Julian with Bouguereau, Lefebvre, and T. Robert Fleury.1 Other American women at the Academy Julian included Ellen Day Hale, Gabrielle Clements, Dora Wheeler, Amanda Brewster, Rosina Emmet, Lydia Field Emmet, Cecilia Beaux and Elizabeth Nourse.2 She married the artist Frederick MacMonnies in 1888 and lived in Paris and Giverny during the summers in the 1890s. They divorced and she married the artist Will H. Low in 1909; he had also studied with Carolus-Duran and the Ecoles de Beaux Arts.3 He was renowned as a mural and landscape painter. After their marriage, she lived in Bronxville, New York, just outside of New York City. Her figure paintings were exhibited in both France and the United States with great frequency.4 This was a substantial commission from a major artist and suggests the important status of the family within the city of Worcester. For example, in 1905, the parents of Harry W. Goddard celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary in the brand new residence at 190 Salisbury Street. At the same event, Eleanor Goddard celebrated her sixteenth birthday.

  • Rose Standish Nichols and the Cornish Art Colony
    Life at Mastlands: Rose Standish Nichols and the Cornish Art Colony Maggie Dimock 2014 Julie Linsdell and Georgia Linsdell Enders Research Intern Introduction This paper summarizes research conducted in the summer of 2014 in pursuit of information relating to the Nichols family’s life at Mastlands, their country home in Cornish, New Hampshire. This project was conceived with the aim of establishing a clearer picture of Rose Standish Nichols’s attachment to the Cornish Art Colony and providing insight into Rose’s development as a garden architect, designer, writer, and authority on garden design. The primary sources consulted consisted predominantly of correspondence, diaries, and other personal ephemera in several archival collections in Boston and New Hampshire, including the Nichols Family Papers at the Nichols House Museum, the Rose Standish Nichols Papers at the Houghton Library at Harvard University, the Papers of the Nichols-Shurtleff Family at the Schlesinger Library at the Radcliffe Institute, and the Papers of Augustus Saint Gaudens, the Papers of Maxfield Parrish, and collections relating to several other Cornish Colony artists at the Rauner Special Collections Library at Dartmouth College. After examining large quantities of letters and diaries, a complex portrait of Rose Nichols’s development emerges. These first-hand accounts reveal a woman who, at an early age, was intensely drawn to the artistic society of the Cornish Colony and modeled herself as one of its artists. Benefitting from the influence of her famous uncle Augustus Saint Gaudens, Rose was given opportunities to study and mingle with some of the leading artistic and architectural luminaries of her day in Cornish, Boston, New York, and Europe.
