( III ) John Pew. third son and fourth child of Captain William and Alice ( Parsons) Pew. born in Gloucester, AAugust 19, 1807. died in that city March 7, 1890. He early developed the traits which in later years enabled him to found a business which grew until it became the largest of its kind on Cape Ann. His career was remarkably successful, and was marked with honesty, thrift, energy and cour- age. ile was a very honorable man, always fair in his dealings, generous in his impulses and at all times ready to help others less for- tumnate than himself. When quite a young man he went on foreign voyages, first as a sailor, but he rose rapidly until he became mate of the brig "Cadet." under Captain Gro- ver. On his marriage he gave up foreign voy- ages and engaged in fishing until December. 1849. when he founded the firm of John Pew & Son. His eldest son. William A. Pew. now cashier of the City National Bank of Glou- cester, was associated with him until 1861, and afterward another son succeeded to a partner-
ship interest ; and the old firm name has since been retained, although the partnership itself has merged with other fishery interests in a corporate company. Mr. Pew was one of the early members of the First Baptist church of Gloucester, a regular attendant at services. and a deacon of the church for several years. December 26. 1829, he married Sarah Knuts- ford Tarr, born in Gloucester. May 8, 1810. died December 5. 1890, daughter of William Tarr, born January 11, 1782, died June 24. 1864. and married, November 25, 1804. Sarah B. Knutsford, born May 19, 1783. died 1867. William Tarr was a son of Job Tarr, who was born December 17. 1755, and died May 18, 1835. and whose wife was Rachel Parsons. Job Tarr was a son of Benjamin Tarr, born December 25. 1726, died in 1814, and married December 22, 1748. Polly Barber. Benjamin Tarr was a son of Benjamin Tarr, born April 9. 1700, died 1733, and who married. Febru- ary 24, 1724. Rebecca Card Wallis. Benjamin Tarr last mentioned, was a son of Richard Tarr, who was born in England or Wales. 1660, and died in Gloucester, 1732, and whose wife was Elizabeth Churchill of Marblehead. Massachusetts, from whence they removed to Cape Ann. John and Sarah Knutsford ( Tarr ) Pew had six children, all born in Gloucester : 1. John James, born October 4. 1830, died 1838. 2.

(IV ) William Andrews Pew, eldest surviving son and child of John and Sarah Kunisford ( Tarr ) Pew. was born in Gloucester, Massa- chusetts. August 15. 1832, and for nearly sixty vears has been in some prominent way identi- fied with the business life of that town and subsequent city. He received his early edu- cation in the Gloucester public schools, and for a short time was a student in Worcester Aca- domy. In 1849, when only seventeen years old, he became associated with his father in the fishing business, afterward became his business partner, and continued a member of the firm of John Pew & Son until 1861. In 1861 Mr. Pew withdrew from the firm, and for the next three years carried on an inde- pendent fishing business. In 1864 he was one of the selectmen of Gloucester, and in the same year he organized the First National Bank and was its president and active managing officer until 1875. when he resigned the presidency.

withdrew from the institution, and organized the City National Bank, of which he has been cashier since its doors were opened for busi- ness, more than thirty years ago. He is to- d'ay the oldest banking officer in Gloucester and one of the oldest in Massachusetts: and it is frequently said by men having knowledge of banking interests and history in the east that Mr. Pew is regarded as one of the best finan- ciers in this state. Mr. Pew is a man of quiet and perfectly temperate habits, strictly atten- tive to every detail of the business of the bank. generally the first to enter its door in the morning and last to leave after the hour of closing. And besides the bank, of which he is one of the largest stockholders, he has con- siderable interests in other institutions and enterprises of Gloucester. He has been chair- man of the sinking fund commission of Glou- cester for more than thirty years, and for about the same period has been a member of the school committee of the city, and is now and has for many years been its vice-chair- man. For many years he was president of the Gloucester Fire and Marine Insurance Com- pany. In 1864 he was elected selectman of the town of Gloucester ; and he was collector of customs for the district of Gloucester from 1865 to 1869, and from 1890 to 1895. In 1870-71 he represented Gloucester in the lower house of the state legislature. He was brought up under the influences of the Baptist church, but for many years he has attended the ser- vices of the Unitarian church. In politics he is a Republican, and inclines to be conserva- tive rather than radical in the expression of his opinions on public and political questions.
January 26, 1854, William Andrews Pew married Harriet W. Preston, a descendant of one of the prominent old families of Cape Ann ( see Presson family). She was born in Glou- cester, 1832, and died there February 24. 1891. Of the five children born of this marri- age the youngest two died in infancy. Those who grew to maturity are as follows: I. Wil- liam Andrews, Jr., born Gloucester, November 30, 1858: see forward. 2. Caroline Blanche, born Gloucester, December 2, 1867: keeps house for her father; unmarried. 3. Grace Winchester, born Gloucester, June 9, 1871 ; married, October 11, 1898, David Smith Bran- don, of Thomasville, Georgia : children: Wil- liam Pew Brandon and Harriet Brandon.
(V) William Andrews Pew, Jr .. is a native of Gloucester, Massachusetts, born November 30, 1858. He acquired his education in Glou- cester, at Chauncy Hall School, Boston, the
Newton high school, and is a graduate of Har- vard College, class of 1880, and Harvard Law School, class of 1884, holding the degrees of A. B., A. M., and LL. B. from Harvard Uni- versity. After graduating at Cambridge he was a student at the Polytechnic School, Brunswick, Germany, and at the University at Leipzig. He also traveled extensively in Europe. In 1884 he began the general practice of law in Gloucester. His practice is almost entirely in the civil courts. In politics he is Republican, and in religion, a communicant of the Episcopal Church.
Since 1898 he has been actively identified with the militia of Massachusetts, and has filled all positions from that of private to bri- gade commander. During the Spanish war he was colonel of the Eighth Massachusetts In- fantry, U. S. V., and spent twelve months in the service of the United States. Part of the time he commanded the Second Brigade, in the Third Division, First Army Corps. He was stationed at Chickamauga, Georgia, Lex- ington, Kentucky, Americus, Georgia, and at Matanzas, Cuba. On February 29, 1908, he became brigadier-general in the state service, and was assigned to the command of the Sec- ond Brigade of Infantry, M. V. M. In 1903 he served as a member of the visiting board at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. In 1903 he was elected president of the City National Bank- of Gloucester, of which his father was the organizer, and has been cashier and active managing officer since the institution began business in 1875. On June 2, 1887. General Pew married Alice Huntington of Cambridge, Massachusetts, daughter of Major James F. and Ellen Sophronia ( Whipple ) Huntington. Since his marriage he has resided in Salem, Massachusetts. He has four children : Mary Huntington, born February 10, 1889; Alethea Huntington, born April II, 1892; Catherine Whipple, born April 19, 1893; and Harriet Winchester, born October 29, 1894.
(H\') Charles Hiram Pew, third son and child of John and Sarah Knutsford (Tarr) Pew, born in Gloucester, October 27, 1835, died at his home in that city, March 24, 1906. Soon after reaching his majority he was taken into busi- ness with his father, Captain John Pew, and was connected with the fisheries of Gloucester from that time until his death. He was a man of quiet tastes, not much given to the pleasures of society, but was deeply interested in his large business affairs, and was a man who had a thorough love for home and its surround-

ings. Ile led a quiet life and enjoyed excellent health, hardly knowing what it was to have a day's illness until about seven years before his death, when a complication of diseases im- pelled him to take a trip west in the hope that a change might be beneficial. Beneath a re- served and taciturn exterior, there was a quiet humor in Mr. Pew's nature, which frequently cropped out and made him a very companion- able man. No matter what the occasion, he never failed in courtesy to those with whom he met, and while not so free of speech as some men, when his opinion was sought on any sub- ject he gave it without reserve. Ile was a man of strong convictions and gained the con- fidence and respect of all with whom he came into contact in a business or social way. At the time of his death he was president of the Addison Gilbert Hospital, vice-president of the Gloucester Mutual Fishing Insurance Com- pany. a director of the Gloucester Safe De- posit and Trust Company, and formerly was one of the trustees of the Fishermen's Endow- ed Ice Company. He was deeply interested .in the affairs of the Addison Gilbert Hospital and from the time he accepted a place on its board of trustees and his subsequent election as president, he labored long and earnestly for the institution and was always actively con- cerned in any undertaking which had for its object assistance to the hospital in any way. Mr. Pew was one of the vice-presidents and a member of the finance committee of the two hundred fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of Gloucester in 1892. He was an excellent authority on all questions pertaining to the Gloucester fisheries, and frequently was called upon to speak at legislative committee meet- ings and other gatherings on that subject.

She was born in Gloucester, November 3. 1840. daughter of Francis Maguire Loring and wife Eliza Beal Bruce, granddaughter of Matthew Loring, the cordwainer, and his third wife.

In the work entitled "Our Eng-
LORING lish Surnames: Their Sources and Significations," Mr. Bards- ley, the author, says that the province of Lor- raine in France (now Alsace-Lorraine, Ger- many) has "given us our Loraynes, Lorraines and Lorings:" and mentions the fact that the names Peter de Loring and John de Loring are instances of the application of surnames from localities. In France the Lorings were evidently persons of distinction, nobles who fought in the carly wars and were rewarded for their fealty with estates in land and titles to declare their station to their descendants and hand down from one generation to another according to the law of primogeniture.
The Loraines went into England with Wil- liam the Conqueror, and the honor of knight- hood was conferred on Robert de Loraine, who history informs us was one of the "com- panions in arms" of the Conqueror. Burke's "Peerage and Baronetage" describes at least two coats-of-arms which are said to have been bestowed on Sir Robert, not particularly as a mark of royal favor, but as an honor won on battlefields under the standard of his sovereign. These arms appear in different forms in some minor details, but generally employ the same symbols-Arg : five lozenges combined in pale,

az, in the dexter chief point, an escutcheon of the last. Crest: A bay (or palm) tree, ppr. hanging therefrom an escutcheon azure.
There are arms, too, among the French Lor- ings who came of the old houses of Lorayne and Lorraine, and one of the most recent con- tributors to the genealogy of the Loring family in New England speaks of three brothers of that name as having come from the province of Lorraine and settled first in Salem, Massa- chusetts, and afterward went to New Hamp- shire, in 1797 ; and states further that the three were younger brothers of one Marquis de Lor- ing. "Heraldic Journal" mentions Caleb Lor- ing of Hull, Massachusetts, as one of one hundred four "gentlemen bearing the title of Esquire, intending to designate that they were in the habit of using coats of arms." This Caleb Loring was a descendant of Thomas Loring, the immigrant ancestor of probably all bearing that surname in New England.
(1) The Loring family of the line proposed to be treated in this place is of the English branch. seated in Axminster, Devonshire, from whence Thomas Loring, with his wife Jane and sons Thomas and John, came to America, and first appears in New England colonial his- tory in the plantation at Dorchester, Massachu- setts. December 23. 1634, where he remained only a short time, going thence to Hingham. and on September 18. 1635, drew a house lot on the north side of what now is called Ship street.
