THE GRANARY BURIAL GROUND.


A correct and enlightened understanding, and a long and intimate acquaintance with the science of jurisprudence, qualified him to form just opinions of the expediency and constitutionality of such legislative acts as were submitted to his consideration. The whole tenor of his life evinced the sincerity of his religious professions, and his unaffected patriotism. His candor and sincerity, the purity of his mind and in- variable rectitude of his conduct, will long secure him a place in their grateful remembrances.


" His person was attractive and commanding. He was of elevated stature, and well proportioned. His countenance was remarkable for composure, and was often lighted up with a smile of peculiar sweetness. Many a young practitioner at the bar has borne testimony to the pleasure and relief he felt when he was addressing the Court in fear and trembling, in catching the looks of Judge Sumner ; looks of encouragement and pro- tection which never disappointed the youthful advocate. In his manners he was polite and unassuming, yet dignified and manly. He never forgot or compromised his dignity in any place or circle, even in the moments of his greatest familiarity. His mind was naturally strong, and its various powers were well balanced. He was remarkably free from every thing that had the appearance of party spirit or rancour. His candor and moderation were known to all men. He possessed an unusual degree of self-command. Divesting himself of prejudice and passion, he examined with deliberation and impartiality, and decided with rectitude and wisdom. His cool and dispassionate temper reflects more honor on his memory, inasmuch as it was less the effect of a peculiarly happy con- stitutional temperament, than of moral discipline and culture, and the benign influence of a religious principle.


" Humility without meanness, the incontestable proof of a superior mind, was a distinguishing trait in his character. No one ever heard or saw in his conversation or deportment, any thing that had the appear- ance of pride, vanity, or affectation ; or that could be construed into an ostentatious display of his own talents, virtues, or services.


" Though raised to the highest dignity it was in the power of the citizens of the Commonwealth to bestow, he was never accused or sus-


87

pected of employing any unworthy arts to gain the popular favor; nor of obtruding himself on the public as a candidate for places of power and trust. On the contrary, such was his modesty, that when he found the eyes of the community were turned upon him, he appeared not a little surprised and ' disordered at the deep regard he drew.'


" Having come into possession of a considerable property by the death of his father-in-law, Mr. Hyslop, which took place the year before his election, he was enabled to maintain a hospitality and appear in a style of life in accordance with the generous and social qualities of his heart, and to support the dignity of his station as First Magistrate of a great and respectable Commonwealth. He was liberal in his receptions of all public characters and strangers of distinction, and devoted much larger sums to the hospitality becoming a chief magistrate, and to the main- tenance of the dignity of the government, than his mere salary would have afforded.


" In the more private and tender relations of life he was uncommonly amiable,-a devoted son, a loving and attentive husband, a kind and affectionate father and friend. The purity of his morals was never called in question, and the manner of his life was in a singular degree blameless and exemplary.


" He was a substantial practical farmer, and attended personally to the cultivation of the soil, set an example of good husbandry to his neighbors, and taught its principles and practice to his son. He was fond of agriculture, and gave his attention to improvement in the methods of carrying on its various branches.


" He was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences ; and if it were permitted to us to enlarge, we could show, how, by his coolness and firmness, and his confidence in the General Government, he did much to support it, at a period when the elements of our politi- cal establishments were severely tested. With the illustrious man, John Adams, who was at that time President of the United States, he had long been associated; he loved him as a friend and kinsman, and respected him as a statesman.


" In early life, and about the time he entered on the practice of the


88


THE GRANARY BURIAL GROUND.


law, he made a public profession of Christianity as the rule of his religious faith and practice, and became a member of the Congregational Society and Church of the Rev. Dr. Porter, in Roxbury. He was im- pressed with an habitual sense of the truths of religion, and of the importance of its institutions. The temptations of affluence and bland- ishments of polished life did not, as it too frequently happens, unsettle his principles and corrupt his morals, and thus make shipwreck of faith and a good conscience; but he held fast his integrity to the end, and was justly esteemed an exemplary member of the church."


The closing scene of his life was not the least interesting and instructive. Dr. Porter, who visited him by his request, at a time of his sickness when he appeared to have the full exercise of his reason, and to be apprehensive that his departure was near, thus relates a part of his conversation, in his excellent funeral discourse :


" A dying bed," he said, " is not the place for one to begin to attend to his religion and prepare for another world. I have not been unmind- ful of these concerns. I have thought much of them. The more I have reflected on the subject of religion, the more has my mind been settled and confirmed in its reality and importance. I am sensible that many infirmities and errors have attended me, but I trust I have the testimony of my conscience to the general rectitude of my views and conduct in life."


" At a subsequent period," says Dr. Porter, " on the conclusion of the office of devotion, performed at his request, he said, with a gesture and em- phasis, the impression of which I shall not easily lose, 'I AM RESIGNED.'"


Thus, having scarcely passed the meridian of life, ended the mortal career of an exemplary magistrate and citizen, whose conduct and example made an indelible impression upon the community, and whom his fellow-citizens delighted to honor while living, and sincerely mourned when dead. His remains were deposited in the northerly corner of the Granary Burial Ground, near the Athenæum.


The following epitaph, written by the erudite Samuel L. Knapp, Esq., is inscribed upon a monument, which was erected to his memory by his family, an engraving of which is hereto appended :

SKETCH OF THAT PART OF THE SUMNER FAMILY TO WIIICH GOVERNOR SUMNER BELONGED, AND HIS DESCENDANTS.


ROGER SUMNER, from whom this family descended, was an inhab- itant of Bicester, in the county of Oxford, England, where he married Joan Franklin, 2d November, 1601. He was buried in St. Edburg Church-yard, at Bicester, 4th December, 1608. He had one son, William.


WILLIAM SUMNER, only son and heir of Roger, was baptized at Bicester, 27th January, 1604-5; married Mary West, 22d October, 1625 ; came to Dorchester, Massachusetts, about 1635. He was made a freeman in 1637, after which his name appears on almost every page of the Town Records during the period of his active life. In 1645, he was appointed one of a committee for building a new meeting-house. He was admitted to the church in 1652; was for twelve years a Deputy to the General Court, and a Selectman twenty-three years. He was also a Rater for five years, and one of the three Commissioners (or Magistrates) " to try and issue small causes " for nine years, when the office ceased. His wife died in Dorchester, 7th June, 1676. He died there 9th December. 1688, aged about eighty-three years. He had seven children-William,* Roger, George, Samuel, Increase, Joan, and Abigail.


GEORGE SUMNER, the third son of William, was baptized at Bicester, 1st March, 1633-4; was brought to Dorchester, Massachusetts, with two elder brethren, by their father, probably in 1635. He married Mary Baker, daughter of Edward Baker, of Northampton, Massachu- setts, 7th November, 1662. He was a deacon of the church in Milton, and died there 11th December, 1715, in the eighty-second year of his age. She died 1st December, 1719, aged seventy-seven. They had eight children-Mary, George, Samuel, William, Ebenezer, Edward, Joseph, and Benjamin.

EDWARD SUMNER, the fifth son of George, was born 29th August, 1675. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Elder Samuel and Hannah Clap, of Dorchester, 25th September, 1701. He died in Roxbury, probably in 1763, aged eighty-eight years. They had eleven children- Edward, Elizabeth, John, Elizabeth, Samuel, Increase, Hannah, Mary, Nathaniel, Ebenezer, and Benjamin.


INCREASE SUMNER, the fourth son of Edward, was born 9th June, 1713. He married Sarah, daughter of Robert Sharp (who was born 25th August, 1719), on the 28th October, 1736. He was appointed Coroner for the county of Suffolk, by Lieutenant Governor Phips, in the year 1752; was one of the Selectmen of Roxbury in 1753 and in 1756; died in Roxbury, 28th November, 1774, aged sixty-one years. His widow died 21st June, 1796, in the seventy-seventh year of her age. They had eight children-Sarah, Susannah, Susannah, Elizabeth, Susannah, Increase, Edward, and Lucy.


INCREASE SUMNER, eldest son of Increase, was born in Roxbury, 27th November, 1746; graduated at Harvard College 1767; married Elizabeth, daughter of William and Mehetable Hyslop, 30th September, 1779; was Representative to the General Court 1776-1779 ; Senator 1780-1782; was chosen Representative to Congress in June, 1782, but never took his seat, preferring the office of Associate Justice of the Su- preme Judicial Court, to which he was appointed by Governor Hancock, in August of the same year. That office he held until 1797, when he was chosen Governor. He was a member of the Convention for forming a State Constitution in 1777, and again in 1779; a member of the Massa- chusetts Convention for the adoption of the Constitution of the United States in 1789; a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences; was chosen Governor of Massachusetts, three years, 1797- 1799 ; and the last year took the oaths of office on his death bed, and died 7th June, 1799, in the fifty-third year of his age. His widow died 28th December, 1810, aged fifty-three. They had three children- William Hyslop, Mehetable Stoddard, and Eliza.

law in the office of the Hon. John Davis, and was admitted to the bar in 1803 ; was aide-de-camp to Governors Strong and Brooks; to the former in 1806, and from May 1813 to 1816 ; and to the latter from June 1816 to 1818, in which year he was appointed Adjutant-general, as successor to General Mattoon, by Governor Brooks. He held that and the Quarter- master-general's office under Governors Brooks, Eustis, Morton, Lin- coln and Davis, until 1834, sixteen years, when he resigned. In 1808, and the eleven following years, he was one of the Representatives of the town of Boston in the General Court. On the 10th September, 1814, he was appointed by Governor Strong, Executive Agent to repair to the District of Maine (which was then invaded by the enemy), and directed, " promptly to provide every practicable means for the defence of that part of the State." For this purpose the discretionary power of placing the militia in the service of the United States was confided to him by Governor Strong, and executed by the Governor's approbation. On the same day, the Commissioners for sea coast defence (Hon. David Cobb, Col. Timothy Pickering, and General John Brooks), also confided to him their full power, acting as Commissary-general and Quarter- master-general, under which he had to provide quarters, arms, ammu- nition; and rations for the troops, &c. To his performance of all these duties acceptably he was probably indebted in 1818, for his appointment of Adjutant-general by Governor Brooks, in preference -to several other competitors of great influence and experience. In December, 1814, he was appointed by the Board of War (composed of Lieutenant-Governor Edward H. Robbins, Benjamin Weld, Daniel Sargent, Silas Holman, of Massachusetts, and Colonel Lewis, of Gorham, Maine), to draw on them and to borrow money of the banks, and pay off the troops which had been called out in Maine. He disbursed over $200,000, and upon his return the President of the Board expressed his thanks for the correct and exemplary manner in which he had performed the duties committed to his charge, and the Board allowed him the pay of a full Colonel. In 1816, he was agent with Hon. James Lloyd to present the Massachu- setts claim to the General Government for militia services. Afterward he was selected by Secretary Calhoun as a visitor to the West Point

Academy. On June 28, 1817, he was appointed to receive President Monroe at the boundary of the State, on his visit to Massachusetts. In November, 1826, he was appointed by the Secretary of War (Barbour), a member of a Board of Army and Militia officers, of which Major- general Scott was President, to report a plan for the organization of the militia and a system of cavalry tactics. In 1851 he projected the plan of making Noddle's Island a part of the city, which was success- fully accomplished, and the name of East Boston given to it.


He was married : 1st, to Mary Ann Perry, at Bristol, R. I., by Bishop Griswold, 4th October, 1826, daughter of Hon. James De Wolf, of Bristol, and widow of Raymond H. J. Perry, brother of Commodores O. H. and M. C. Perry. She died in Boston, 14th July, 1834, and was buried in her father's tomb, at Bristol.

Some constitutional points, which the sickness and death of Gov. Sumner involved, may be seen in the "interesting recollections of his last days," by the Hon. Daniel Davis, late Solicitor-General. . These are to be found in a note to the memoir of the Governor, which is too long to be inserted here, printed in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, vol. viii. p. 124.


Upon a perusal of this note, a literary and sympathetic friend remarked, " I know of nothing in the history of public men, so curious and touching, not to say useful, as the circumstances of Gov. Sumner's inauguration into the office of chief magistrate on his deathbed. One cannot wonder at the emotions which overwhelmed his friends who were obliged to participate in that ceremony."
