ELEANOR CABOT BRADLEY (1893-1990) Eleanor Cabot Bradley was born 24 September 1893 in Cohasset, Massachusetts to Godfrey Lowell Cabot (26 February 1861 - 2 November 1962) and Maria Buckminster Moors Cabot (21 April 1866 - 5 November 1934), who married on 23 June 1890 in Cohasset, Massachusetts. Godfrey Lowell Cabot was the son of Samuel Cabot (1815-1885) and Hannah Lowell Jackson Cabot (1820-1879). Maria Buckminster Moors was the daughter of Joseph Benjamin Moors (1831-1909) and Mary Buckminster Jones Moors (1835-1913). Eleanor Cabot Bradley attended classes in Landscape Architecture at Cambridge School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture and Radcliffe College throughout her life without earning a degree. She also attended horticultural workshops at the Arnold Arboretum and the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. She was an active leader in Boston area gardening organizations, most notably a president of the Noanett Garden Club and a member of the Arnold Arboretum Visiting Committee, a group that reported on Arboretum activities for the Harvard University Board of Overseers. Eleanor Cabot Bradley Papers - 2 The Trustees of Reservations – www.thetrustees.org Eleanor Cabot Bradley married Ralph Bradley, who became an executive at the Cabot Corporation on 16 August 1919. Ralph Bradley was born on 21 June 1888 in Williamstown, Massachusetts to Reverend Levett Bradley and Susan Hinkley Bradley, and spent his childhood in Pennsylvania. He died in 1970 in Manchester, Massachusetts. Ralph and Eleanor Cabot Bradley had four children: Elizabeth (b. 1920), John (b. 1922), Hannah (b. 1926), and Arthur (b. 1932), who died in childhood. By Eleanor Cabot Bradley’s death in August 1990, she had eleven grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. In 1945, Ralph and Eleanor Cabot Bradley acquired her family’s estate named Cherry Hill. They had purchased a Hancock, New Hampshire farm in 1936; however, Cherry Hill was closer to Boston where her father lived. From 1948 to 1962, Ralph and Eleanor Cabot Bradley lived during the week in Boston with Eleanor’s father, Godfrey Lowell Cabot, spent weekends at Cherry Hill, and summers at their home on Eaglehead Road in Manchester-by-the-Sea. Following Godfrey Lowell Cabot’s death in 1962, the couple lived full-time at Cherry Hill. Eleanor Cabot Bradley’s grandfather, Samuel Cabot, purchased Cherry Hill in 1865. Upon his death, his son, Dr. Arthur Tracy Cabot (1852-1912), inherited Cherry Hill and acquired additional acreage to create a seventy-acre estate. In 1902, he hired architect Charles Platt to design a house on the property. Upon Arthur Cabot’s death, his wife, Susan Shattuck Cabot, inherited Cherry Hill. By the time of her death in 1944, Cherry Hill had fallen into disrepair. After acquiring Cherry Hill, Eleanor Cabot Bradley worked with her husband, as well as caretaker Reg Harris, to make several improvements, including the development of a woodland walk with a series of horticultural vignettes and the construction of a Sunken Camellia House. In the 1950s and 1960s Cherry Hill’s boundaries underwent minor changes related to the development of Route 128, and the purchase by Ralph and Eleanor Cabot Bradley of surrounding lands. Eleanor Cabot Bradley was actively managing Cherry Hill until her death in 1990. The Trustees of Reservations acquired Cherry Hill in 1991, renaming it the Eleanor Cabot Bradley Estate. More information about the property can be found on the Eleanor Cabot Bradley Estate website (http://www.thetrustees.org/places-to-visit/greater-boston/bradley-estate.html).

  • Benedict Cumberbatch
    Notable Mayflower Descendants: Benedict Cumberbatch Richard Hall z Benedict Cumberbatch is an award-winning British actor probably best known as Sherlock Holmes in the BBC and PBS television series Sherlock. Memorable film roles include Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013), The Imitation Game (2014), and Doctor Strange (2016). In recent years, various surprising familial connections have been reported regarding Benedict Cumberbatch. These include a distant kinship to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of the Sherlock Holmes character,1 and Alan Turing, the computer scientist and mathematician Cumberbatch portrayed in The Imitation Game.2 Not long ago, while tracing Benedict Cumberbatch’s ancestry, I made my own surprising discovery. In early 2017, I discovered an application for membership to the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution for Robert Cecil Cumberbatch,3 brother of Henry Carlton Cumberbatch (Benedict’s grandfather). The two brothers were great-grandsons of John Langdon of Boston, a “Cornhill” bookseller and patriot in the American Revolution.4 After the war, Langdon was appointed by Washington to a position in the Boston Custom House.5 Even more surprising than American ancestry for Cumberbatch, was the discovery that Langdon’s wife, Mary Walley, was a descendant of Mayflower passenger John Alden, thus giving the British actor a genealogical connection to Plymouth and the Pilgrims. The Alden descent of Benedict Cumberbatch is documented below. 1 “The Surprising Link Between Benedict Cumberbatch and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,” article online at Ancestry.com, http://blogs.ancestry.com/cm/surprising-link-benedict- cumberbatch-sir-arthur-conan-doyle, accessed 16 September 2017. 2 “Decoding History: Ancestry of Benedict Cumberbatch Revealed,” article online at Ancestry.com, http://blogs.ancestry.com/cm/decoding-history-ancestry-of-benedict-cumberbatch- revealed, accessed 16 September 2017.

Mr. Ellison divides his history of British gliding into four segments: 1849-1908; 1908-1920; 1920-1929; and 1929-present (1970) British Gliding History The history of motorless flight in Britain can be divided into four periods. The first period up to 1908 started way back in 1849 when Sir George Cayley persuaded a boy to fly in one of his small gliders. Later, in 1853, Sir George's coachman was launched across a small valley at Brompton, near Scarborough. This experiment terminated abruptly when the craft reached the other side of the valley, and the frightened coachman stepped from the wreckage and addressed his employer with the now famous words "Sir George, I wish to hand in my notice". Cayley’s Glider Sir George Cayley Further would-be aviators carried out many other Percy Pilcher experiments over the years that followed, including Percy Pilcher's many glides at various places up and down the country until his death in 1899.

  • Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early
    Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Rachel Tamar Van All Rights Reserved. ABSTRACT Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van This study examines the international flow of ideas and goods in eighteenth and nineteenth century New England port towns through the experience of a Boston-based commercial network. It traces the evolution of the commercial network established by the intertwined Perkins, Forbes, and Sturgis families of Boston from its foundations in the Atlantic fur trade in the 1740s to the crises of succession in the early 1840s. The allied Perkins firms and families established one of the most successful American trading networks of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and as such it provides fertile ground for investigating mercantile strategies in early America. An analysis of the Perkins family’s commercial network yields three core insights. First, the Perkinses illuminate the ways in which American mercantile strategies shaped global capitalism. The strategies and practices of American merchants and mariners contributed to a growing international critique of mercantilist principles and chartered trading monopolies. While the Perkinses did not consider themselves “free traders,” British observers did. Their penchant for smuggling and seeking out niches of trade created by competing mercantilist trading companies meant that to critics of British mercantilist policies, American merchants had an unfair advantage that only the liberalization of trade policy could rectify.
