SARAH BROWN. (p. 53.)
MRS. BROWN, born at Ipswich, August 21, 1696, was daughter of Jonathan Cogswell, son of William, and grandson of John Cogswell, a London merchant, who settled in Ipswich, in 1635. Her mother (married, March 24, 1685) was daughter of Francis Wainwright, an eminent merchant of that town, and sister to Hon. John Wainwright. Miss Cogswell was married, in 1723, to Mr. James Brown, an opulent farmer of Ipswich, who died in the spring of 1741, leaving an estate of £6500. Mrs. Brown died in Boston, while visiting the family of her son-in-law, Mr. Timothy Thornton, (son of Ebenezer,) who, about 1773-4, moved to Ipswich, and there died, 4th Septem- ber, 1787, aged sixty-one. The gravestone of her daughter, Eunice, at Ipswich, bears the following inscription : "Here lies what was mortal of Mrs. Eunice Thornton, wife of Mr. Tim- othy Thornton, who died Sept. 13th, 1784, in the 55th year of her age." They left two sons, viz. : Thomas Gilbert, the first son, born in Boston, August 31, 1768; married, November 26, 1793, Sarah, daughter to Hon. Thomas Cutts, of Saco, and died, March 24, 1824; their son, J. B. Thornton, married Eliza, daughter of Hon. Daniel Gookin, of Northampton, N. H. ; and daughter, Anna Paine, married Gov. John Fairfield, of Saco,

TIMOTHY THORNTON. (p. 56.)
MR. THORNTON was the son of the Rev. Thomas Thornton, of Yarmouth, Mass. He was born about 1647: a principal citizen of Boston, where he was admitted a freeman, May 15, 1672. He was several times chosen one of the " Commission- ers " of Boston -a court of record created by the Acts of 1651 and 1654. Says Judge Sewall, date April 4, 1690, "This day, Capt. Theophilus Frary, Adam Winthrop, Mr. Jno. Clark, Timo. Thornton," and others, "are chosen Commissioners for ye town of Boston." December 17th, 1690, Mr. Thornton, Major Elisha Hutchinson, Major John Phillips, Capt. Penn Townsend, and Mr. Adam Winthrop, were appointed by the Legislature a committee to issue bills of credit to pay the debts of the recent French and Indian wars. This was the first paper currency in Massachusetts. Mr. Thornton was several times elected "selectman " of Boston; in 1693, he, with Ephraim Savage, Samuel Checkley, and Edward Bromfield, were chosen. In 1693, Mr. Thornton, Penn Townsend, and Edward Bromfield, were chosen Representatives from Boston. Mr. Thornton was a Representative in 1694 and 1695.
Judge Sewall wrote in his journal, " 1714-5, January 10th, snowy day. Mr. Gee sends his son to invite me to Dinner to- morrow at his house." " Tuesday, January 11th, went thither, where din'd Dr. Incr. & Dr. C. Mather, Mr. Bridge, Mr. Wads- worth, Mr. Thornton, Mr. Jno. Marion, Deacon Barnard, Mr. Ruck, Capt. Martyn, Mr. Hallowell.

All his children were by his first wife, Experience, who died March 23, 1694. They were Mary, born 1674, April 2; Thomas ; Elizabeth, b. Nov. 17, 1677, m. Major Thomas Wade, Esq., April 4, 1700; Ann; Timothy, b. May 6, 1681 ; Catharine, b. April 16, 1683, m. Isaac Russel, of Boston; Expe- rience, b. Feb. 23, 1687, m.

The following inscription is from the grave- stone of his wife, in the ancient burial-ground at Watertown : " Mrs. Elizabeth Thornton, who departed this life June 10th, 1740, Æt. 37 years."
MRS. SARAH THORNTON was the second wife, and widow of Mr. Timothy Thornton, of Boston. Her name before mar- riage is unknown.
JONATHAN MOUNTFORT. (p. 81.)
JONATHAN MOUNTFORT, founder of tomb 59, brother of John, was a man of liberal education, a physician and apothecary, and resided for many years at what was called " Mountfort's Corner." He was independent in his means, and eccentric in his habits. In 1719, he was one of the se- ceders from the New North Church, and among the founders and building committee of the "New Brick," or " weathercock" church, for whom he was treasurer. His descendants in the

male line are extinct; in the female line, they are merged with the Greenough and Pitts families.
The Mountfort family coat of arms, as represented over the tomb of Jonathan Mountfort, belonged to Hugo de Montfort, a Norman, who, in 1066, commanded the cavalry of William the Conqueror at the battle of Hastings.
This name is known in the "History of England," during the reigns of William I., Henry II., Henry III., John, Ed- ward I., Edward III., Edward IV., and Henry VII. It is especially referred to in "Dugdale's History of Warwickshire," a copy of which is in the library of Harvard University, which represents the same coat of arms as those over the tomb, and gives an elaborate and authentic pedigree of the family, from Turstain de Montfort, 1030, father of Hugo, as above men- tioned, to Simon Mountfort, 1633, father of Edmund, and grandfather of John and Jonathan Mountfort, founders of tombs Nos. 7 and 59.
It is also referred to in " Collin's Peerage," " Burke's Extinct Peerage." " Wiffan's History of the House of Russell," and other works.
GRANT FAMILY. (p. 107.)
THE space enclosed within an iron railing near the centre of the cemetery, and which contains the tomb of the Grant family, was not originally a part of the cemetery. This small canton of land was purchased by the first proprietor, [see deed below,] Mr. Gee, of the owner of a field adjoining the cemetery, his lady wishing to have a last resting-place apart from the mul- titude. It became the property of the Grant family, by pur- chase, four generations back, and is now owned by Deacon Moses Grant, to whom the interest in it of the other heirs of
212

his father, the late Deacon Moses Grant, was conveyed, on his decease. The property being, as has been remarked, held in fec, and under no restraint as to its use, a dwelling-house, or any other structure, could be erected on the spot; and, what is more, the proprietor has a right of way over the cemetery, which right of way is by common law construed to mean a path broad enough for cart wheels to pass over. We need not, however, apprehend that the worthy proprietor or any of his descendants will avail themselves of their private rights, to the inconvenience of the public.
This enclosure holds the remains of three generations of the Grant family. Moses Grant, Esq., who was buried here in 1817, aged seventy-three, was deacon of Brattle Street Church ; and Samuel Grant, Esq., who was buried in 1784, aged eighty, was deacon of the old North Church, (Dr. Andrew Eliot's.)
The late respected Deacon Moses Grant was in revolutionary times a very ardent patriot. He was one of the destroyers of the tea, and one of the party who were engaged in the bold and successful attempt to remove the two pieces of cannon by night to the American lines, and who narrowly escaped the pursuit of the British guard.
One of our elder citizens remembers seeing a London news- paper of 1774, which contained a letter from Boston, written during the troubles, and referring to some of the principal ac- tors. It had this passage : "There is Deacon Grant, a member of the Cadet Company - a fiery deacon indeed !" The pa- triotic composition of that company, at the time of these events, may be inferred from the fact that its commander was Colonel John Hancock !

MARINERS' RECEIVING TOMB. (p. 128.) .
THE Mariners' Monumental Receiving Tomb, in Copp's Hill Cemetery, Boston, was procured by contributions from seamen and their friends.
The noble crew of the U. S. sloop-of-war Albany presented Phineas Stow, pastor of the Baptist Bethel, Boston, with fifty- two dollars, for this worthy object; and Martin Woodworth, a generous sailor, collected three hundred dollars from the mer- chants in a few days. The enterprise met with their cordial approval.
It may not be improper to state, that many seamen who have been found dead in the docks, or have been accidentally (as we say) killed by falling from the yard-arm of a ship, have been buried by the city without any religious services whatever. We would cast no reflections upon the worthy citizens of Bos- ton; for in the arrangements of the city for burying the poor, seamen have shared, as well as others who have died away from home and kindred. The writer, to give mariners a more appropriate burial, has procured from Coroners Pratt and Smith the remains of seamen, and incurred expenses, which have been cheerfully paid by seamen and others. Public at- tention has been called to the proper interment of sailors, and the call has been nobly responded to. The writer's father was a sea captain, his only brother is also a shipmaster, and his relatives are engaged in navigating the ocean. It is natural that tender emotions should be awakened in his bosom for the stranger who finds an early grave far from his native home.
The smiles of an approving Heaven have attended this work of humanity. It has called into exercise the better feelings and sympathies of those who are directly engaged in a business, the tendency of which is to shorten human life. It is cheering that, in this world of strife and tumult, there is a common ground on which all may stand.
Beautiful shells are to be cemented on the shaft of this monu- ment. Many sailors and their friends have given moaning

ocean shells, which may sing a requiem over the sailor's resting- place.
The disciples of John the Baptist "came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb." (Mark vi. 29.) So we wish to lay in a tomb the mortal remains of the toil-worn sailor, who often dies homeless, friendless, and penniless. Seamen should have a "memorial " in the city of Boston -a city which has been en- riched by commerce -the fruits of the toil and suffering's of mariners. Boston will not wrong the ocean children. The pro- prictor of the Woodland Cemetery, in Malden, has kindly given a large lot, where the bodies can be deposited when the re- ceiving tomb shall be full. A monument will be erected there in memory of seamen.
The first three bodies deposited in the Mariners' Tomb be- longed to three different nations - England, Sweden, and Amer- ica-and occupied three different positions in the service - captain, officer, and sailor, -but no distinctions are known there ; they rest peacefully side by side.
" It is their watch below."
A female, a true friend of seamen, was the fourth body de- posited in the tomb. Three days before her death, she saw the monument that was to be erected on this tomb. It was completed the very day she was struck with death. Her hus- band was called upon by a gentleman to go and see the monu- ment, when he informed his friend that his wife was dying. It was like an electric shock. The history of this tomb is thus mournfully interesting to him, who, with his departed com- panion, for years devoted himself to benefit the long-neglected sailor.
The reflex influence of efforts to respect and benefit humanity will not fail to bless the living. The author of this work has generously given ten copies of the book to the sailor's cause. By his request, the writer of the above has given the fore- going particulars, which may not be devoid of interest. Mr. Bridgman's work will meet with the sympathy and approbation

of all who are connected by ties of kindred and affection with the sleeping denizens of Copp's Hill Burying-ground. "The memory of the just is blessed." (Prov. x. 7.)

REV. THOMAS THORNTON. (p. 162.)
THE Rev. Thomas Thornton was one of the noble company of Nonconformists who were ejected or silenced by the Act of Uniformity, St. Bartholomew's Day, August 24, 1662. - Mather's Magnalia, Book III. fol. 4. He was the successor of the Rev. John Miller, and third pastor of the church in Yar- mouth, from about 1663 to the autumn of 1693, or spring of 1694, when he removed to Boston, and resided with his children during the remainder of his life, his son, Timothy, contributing liberally for his support and comfort in his declining years. In 1691, the Rev. John Cotton was associated with him in the ministry, to relieve him from the cares too heavy for his

advanced age; and after his removal to Boston, his people still cheered him with frequent tokens of affectionate remembrance. His fellow-sufferer under the Act of Uniformity, the Rev. Thomas Walley, for a while lived in Yarmouth, but was soon settled in the ministry, at Barnstable, the adjacent town.
A glimpse at Mr. Thornton's life in Boston, and an interest- ing exhibition of the character and habits of our great and good men of ancient times, occur in the following extract from the diary of Chief Justice Samuel Sewall : " Aug. 13, 1695. We have a fast Kept in our new chamber. Mr. Willard begins wth prayer and preaches from 2d Chronicles, xxxiv. 27. Mr. Allen prays." "P. M. Mr. Bayly begins with prayer, preaches from Luke i. 50, and then concludes with prayer. Sung ye 27 Ps. 7-10, [the version in use was the New Eng- land Psalm-book.] I set Windsor tune, and burst so into tears yt I could scarse continue singing. Mr. Thornton was here, but went away when Mr. Allen was at Prayer. Mr. Cook and Mr. Addington here. Mr. Serg' was diverted," &c. "I ap- pointed ys day to ask God's Blessing after ye death of my dear mother, and in particular to bless Sam. wth a Master & calling, and bless us in our new house. The Lord pardon and doe for us beyond our hopes contrary to our Deserts."
Judge Sewall visited Mr. Thornton during his last illness, and recorded minutely the incidents of his sickness and death. " Feb. 15, 3 p. m. Mr. Tho : Thornton dies very quietly, wch Mr. Gee acquaints me wth. Is very near 93 years old."
He was born in 1609, the son of John Thornton, of Bidforth, in Yorkshire, born in 1581, living 1612, and grandson of Thomas Thornton, by Helen, daughter to Percival, son to the Lord Lumley. His mother was Grace, daughter of Thomas Wythers, of Copgrave .* The Christian merchants, Henry Thornton and John Thornton, of England, were of the same family.
Mr. Thornton's children were, Mary, who married Judah,

NICHOLAS UPSHALL. (p. 187.)
NICHOLAS UPSHALL was the twenty-third member on the roll of the " Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company." In 1637, he owned property from Hanover Street to the water, on the north-east side of Richmond Street, which was laid out in 1636. Ile left his property to his two daughters - wife of Wil- liam Greenough, and the wife of Joseph Cock. He was grand- father to the wife of John Mountfort, founder of tomb No. 7. He was fined £20, and exiled by the government of " Massa- chusetts colony," for bribing the keeper of Boston jail to supply two Quaker women, then in prison, with food, otherwise they would have starved to death; and afterwards, for expressing his abhorrence in relation to the inhuman and tyrannous acts of Governor Endicott and others towards the Quakers, - although he was of much influence, property, &c., and also a member of the church, -he was banished the colony, and re- sided six years in Rhode Island. On his return, he furnished a room in his house for the free use of the Quakers. The " History of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company " says, in reference to Nicholas Upshall, "Property, moral worth, public services, wife, children, friends, cannot preserve a man from the ruthless fangs of religious persecution. The respectable Quakers of the present day, (Lynn,) have recently

reclaimed the remains of their former brethren from the old Quaker burial-ground, lest the rapacious hands of speculation should trespass further. Why do they not redeem the ashes of those who may be considered among the first martyrs of their sect ?"
ELEAZER PRATT.
ELEAZER PRATT (interred in the tomb of Eliot, Kimball, and Pratt) was a lineal descendant from Phinehas Pratt, one of the first planters of New England. He was born in Cohas- set, and came to Boston at about the age of sixteen years. He resided here until the day of his death, August 21, 1849, when he died with the Asiatic cholera, at the age of sixty-four years and seven months.
Nature endowed him with a remarkable constitution. Pre- vious to his death, he was never but once obliged to call for a physician, and his. prospect for a long life to come was very promising - his ancestors, and his seven brothers and sisters having attained an age far beyond his ; the brothers and sisters now remaining very hale, at an average age of seventy-seven years.
With a good constitution, he also possessed a sound mind, which he constantly exercised in the study of mankind. He died in the full belief, that when his earthly tabernacle was dis- solved, he should have a building of God, eternal in the heavens.
Eleazer Pratt's sister, Abigail, is now eighty years of age ; she never took any medicine. Last winter, she walked from Boston to Somerville, a distance of four miles, without much fatigue. His brother, Benjamin, aged upwards of eighty-two years, went into the woods last winter, and assisted in cutting his supply of wood for the season. "
