SOURCE OF COLLECTION: Bequest of Stephen Salisbury III, 1906 COLLECTION DESCRIPTION: Nicholas Salisbury (1694-1748), the son of John Salisbury ( - ), who came from England and settled in Boston, Mass., was born on 20 August 1694. Nicholas was a merchant in Boston. He married, on 1 October 1724, Martha Saunders (1704-1792). They had eleven children, six of whom were alive when Nicholas died: Rebecca (1731–1811), who married Daniel Waldo (1724–1808) in 1757; Josiah (1734–1761); Samuel (1739–1818), who married Elizabeth Sewall (1750–1789) and then Abigail Snow in 1812; Elizabeth (1744–1798), who married Samuel Barrett (1738–1798); Sarah (1745–1828), who married Dr. Benjamin Green (1738-1824) in 1779; Stephen (1746–1829), who married Elizabeth Tuckerman (1768–1851) in 1797. Samuel Salisbury I (1739-1818), the son of Nicholas and Martha Saunders Salisbury, was an importer and merchant in Boston and was deacon of Boston's Old South Church for twenty-four years. He married Elizabeth Sewall (1750-1789) and after her death, he married Abigail Snow ( - ). Stephen Salisbury I (1746-1829), the son of Nicholas and Martha Saunders Salisbury, was born in Boston on 25 September 1746. He was in partnership with his brother, Samuel, importing hardware and merchandise from England and the West Indies. In 1767, Stephen came to Worcester, Mass. to establish a branch store that thrived due to his ability to cater to individuals as well as to other merchants. Stephen made Worcester his permanent home when in 1771 he purchased the farm adjacent to his store and built a large house there. He married, on 31 January 1797, Elizabeth Tuckerman (1768-1851), the daughter of Edward and Elizabeth Tuckerman of Boston. They had one son, Stephen II. In politics Stephen I was a Whig and served on several committees during the American Revolution. Stephen Salisbury II (1798-1884), the son of Stephen and Elizabeth Tuckerman Salisbury, was born in Worcester on 8 March 1798. After attending local grammar schools and the Leicester Academy in Leicester, Mass., Stephen was graduated from Harvard College with honors in 1817. He studied law in the office of Samuel M'Gregore Burnside (1783-1850) and was admitted to the Worcester bar but chose instead a career in business and became one of the most influential local businessmen of his time. He was the treasurer of the Blackstone Canal Company and became president of the Worcester Bank in 1845, as well as a director and president of the Worcester and Nashua Railroad. Stephen built the factory known as Court Mills with buildings on Prescott Street, Union Street, and Grove Street, as well as numerous shops and houses in the Lincoln Square area of Worcester. He was a selectman and an alderman for Worcester and served as a state representative and senator. He was a member and served as a councilor and president of the American Antiquarian Society. He was a member of the Massachusetts Historical Society and served as a founder, benefactor, and the first president of Worcester Polytechnic Institute. In 1875, he was awarded the doctor of laws degree from Harvard and was named an overseer of that college. He married, on 7 November 1833, Rebekah Scott Dean (1812-1843), of Charlestown, N.H. They had one son, Stephen III. Stephen II married, in 1850, Nancy Hoard Lincoln (1820- 1852), the widow of Captain George Lincoln. He married, in 1855, Mary Grosvenor Bangs (1800-1864), the widow of Edward Dillingham Bangs (1790-1838). Stephen Salisbury II died, on 24 August 1884, in Worcester. Stephen Salisbury III (1835-1905), the son of Stephen and Rebekah Scott Dean Salisbury, was born in Worcester on 31 March 1835. He attended various public and private schools. He was graduated from Harvard College in 1856 and continued his studies abroad in Berlin and Paris. Returning home in 1858, he entered Harvard Law School and received his degree in 1861. In 1862, he made the first of two visits to Central America to study the ruins of the Mayan Indians. Stephen had a wide range of business interests, serving as a trustee of the State Mutual Life Assurance Company, as a director and president of the Worcester National Bank, as a trustee and president of Worcester County Institution for Savings, and as a director of the Worcester and Nashua Railroad Company as well as of the Boston, Barre and Gardner Railroad. He was active in local politics and served as a state senator, 1893-1895, becoming chairman of several committees. Stephen supported numerous charitable and educational institutions and donated large sums of money to, among others, the Worcester Lyceum, Natural History Society, Worcester County Agricultural Society, the Music Hall Association, the Memorial Hospital, St. Vincent Hospital, the Peabody Museum at Harvard, the Massachusetts Historical Society, Worcester City Hospital, Clark University, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and the Worcester Art Museum. The organization to which he was most attached was the American Antiquarian Society of which he became a member in 1863 and for which he served as a councilor and president from 1887 until his death. He wrote several articles on Central American archaeology and other subjects that were published in the Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society. He never married and died, in Worcester, on 16 November 1905.

  • April, OBITUARY. About Ten Years Have Passed Since There
    316 American Antiquarian Society. [April, OBITUARY. JOHN D. WASHBURN. About ten years have passed since there suddenly disappeared from our midst a widely esteemed and picturesque personality ; one which had long been honorably prominent in affairs of city, state and nation ; an efficient and sagacious factor in the councils of societies and corporations ; a favorite in social circles. While his stalwart frame was unbowed and vigorous, his mind as clear as ever, his wonderful memory unimpaired, Hon. John Davis Washburn abandoned all the activities wherein for many years his ambition, tastes and abilities had found useful occupation. Thenceforward he led a life of seclusion, very seldom emerging from the quietude of the home circle. He had received one of those sharp warnings of human frailty which come to all of us sooner or later, and he had surrendered apparently without any such struggle as strong men usually make to hold their place in the front rank and to fight in the van of life's bat- tle to the last. He had made humble confession to himself that his appointed work was accomplished; and he sobei'ly awaited with chastened spirit the coming of the all-con- queror. We could hardly have missed him more had he then died, but he lived on for years and finally fell asleep at his Worcester residence April 4, 1903, just one week after his seventieth birthday .^ He was born in Boston, March 27, 1833, but when he was five years old his father, John Marshall Washburn, retiring from mercantile business, bought a small farm in Lancaster, Mass., where he resided during the rest of his life, becoming an influential citizen.

Winthrop makes no division into chapters. In this edition the text has, for the reader's convenience, been broken by headings repre- senting the years. These, however, in accordance with modern usage, have been set at the beginning of January, not at the date with which Winthrop began his year, the first of March.

Sanford, Jr. MILITARY BACKGROUND IN THE OLD WORLD In his book, ―John Winthrop: America‘s Forgotten Founding Father,‖ the author, Francis J. Bremer, asserts the following. ―Historians have agreed that ENDECOTT had some European military experience, and the nature of the (Pequot) campaign suggests that he may have fought in England‘s Irish Wars.‖ Henry VIII was declared King of Ireland in 1530 and the next sixty years was spent in repressing the residents of that land. This became more difficult during the Anglo-Spanish War (1585-1604) that was started by the English when they intruded into Spanish Netherlands that led to memorable sea battles which included the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. During the war, the Spanish meddled in the affairs of Ireland and the English were in conflict with them until the signing of the treaty in 1604 that ended English actions in 1 the Spanish Netherlands and Spain‘s support for dissidents in Ireland.

Birchfield e Part I* Among Kentucky's native artists few, if indeed any, may boast achievements equal to those of Thomas Satterwhite Noble. In 1868, at the age of thirty-three, Noble had completed extensive European study, chiefly at Paris, and had established a studio in New York City.1 Here he was an Associate of the National Academy of Design. His work had been included in the exhibitions of the academy and shown, as well, in Boston, in Chicago, in St. Louis, and in the rotunda of the Capitol at Washington. When, at the beginning of 1869, he became first principal of the McMicken School of Design, later under his direction to become the Art Academy of Cincinnati, Noble was destined to extend his influence as the teacher of Paul Sawyier (1865-1917), Kentucky's famous watercolorist; of Gutzon Borglum (1871-1941), sculptor of Mt.
