�The house at 144-146 Federal Street in Salem, Massachusetts was built for shipmaster
Captain Thomas Whittredge and his wife Sarah, around 1802. It is located on the northeastern
corner of Federal Street and Flint Street (originally known as Dean Street). i
The Whittredge house was built in the Federal style, which was the prevailing American
architectural style between around 1780 and 1820, particularly popular along the eastern
seaboard in port cities. The lot on which it is situated is 8,825 square feet, and the house
measures 5 X 3 bays. ii The house is a three-story wood-frame building with clapboard siding and
has a brick chimney on both the east and west sides of the house. It has a low-pitch hipped roof,
which is the subtype of Federal houses most common to New England. iiiiv Three-story hippedroof Federal houses in particular have “an unusually important concentration in the town of
Salem, Massachusetts,” and are usually “of landmark quality.” v Originally, the house had outbuildings, including a shed, and a two-story stables on the northern end of the lot. vi It has a low
foundation made of granite with three granite front steps leading directly from the sidewalk to
the front door.vii viii While almost all of the characteristics of the house match typical Federal
style elements, the low foundation with no porch is one holdover from the preceding Georgian
style.ix
The front door has six panels and is surrounded by two Doric half-round and fluted
pilasters which support a triangular denticulated broken pediment. x Above the door is an
elliptical fanlight with five segments. xixii There is a similar six-panel door on the east side of the
house with pilasters supporting a less elaborate triangular pediment. This door also has three
granite steps extending down to the walkway.
On the front façade, the windows are singly-placed, five-ranked, and balanced
symmetrically with the front door in the center. xiii The third floor is a foreshortened story, and
�thus the windows are shorter than on the first and second floors. xiv Each window has a doublehung 6/6 sash, which is a window made up of six panes separated by muntins, or thin wooden
supports, above another set of six panes. xv By the late 1990s, the house was vacant, and the
windows were empty and boarded up. xvi Since then, they have been reinstalled and restored to
their original style.
During this architectural era, according to Virginia McAlester in A Field Guide to
American Houses, “the first true architects appeared on the American scene.” xvii One of the few
most notable in the country was an architect from Salem, named Samuel McIntire. He was a
master at the Georgian and Federal style of architecture, and several of his works remain in
Salem today. According to Bryant F. Tolles, in Architecture in Salem, An Illustrated Guide, his
greatest achievements came during this mid-Federal period between 1800 and 1815. xviii He was
particularly attracted to the Federal Street area, because of its “elegant streetscape” and was hired
by merchants to build their mansions there. xix The Whittredge House is part of the McIntire
Historic District. The McIntire-designed Samuel Cook/Henry Oliver House is next door at 142
Federal Street, and features some of his famous wood carving. xx Aspects of the Whittredge
House and original stable “show close relationship with McIntire’s work,” according to Fiske
Kimball, an architectural historian, though Kimball was not able to find specific evidence of a
connection.xxi The Whittredge House, and the Federal style in general, share similarities with the
earlier Georgian style, but are a refinement of the style. Houses of the mid-Federal period, are
described as “having a lightness and delicacy in comparison with their close Georgian relatives”
and “the exteriors… have few elaborations other than the fanlight and accentuated front door,”
which fits the Whittredge House perfectly.xxii This new refined architectural development
�borrowed from European styles of the time and was first used by wealthy merchants on the New
England coast, like Thomas Whittredge himself.
Thomas Whittredge was born on May 2, 1766 in Salem, Massachusetts. xxiii Sarah Waters
was born in 1766 in Danvers, Massachusetts to Abel Waters and Lydia (Trask) Waters. xxiv Sarah
married Thomas in Danvers on November 11, 1793 when they were both 28 years old. xxv The
two lived in Danvers in the early years of their marriage, and had three children before building
and moving to their mansion on Federal Street. Henry Trask Whittredge was the first, born
December 29, 1794, followed by Eliza, born November 25, 1796, Thomas Cook, born May 27,
1799, and Edward A., born December 15, 1801.
Thomas Whittredge was a Master Mariner, or Shipmaster, and traded in the mid-Atlantic
states.xxvi He was part of Salem’s proud and important history as a seaport, participating in it
during a time when the merchant culture and rich commerce were at their prime in the town.
According to the History of Essex County, Massachusetts published in 1888, “From the close of
the War of the Revolution until the embargo in 1808, Salem was at the height of her commercial
prosperity. The white sails of Salem’s ships were unfurled in every port of the known worlds and
carried the fame and name of Salem to the uttermost parts of the earth.” xxvii While Whittredge
perhaps was not quite as rich or well-known as some of the other merchants in town, he did a
good business and was quite wealthy, owning real estate not only at the Federal Street property,
but elsewhere in Salem, and in neighboring towns such as Peabody. xxviii
Whittredge was part owner of many ships that sailed from Salem. The 1906 Ship
Registers of the District of Salem and Beverly, Massachusetts, 1789-1900 lists him as an owner
of two vessels that served as privateers in the War of 1812; the Alexander carried twenty guns
and one hundred fifty-five men before being captured on May 19, 1813, and the Buckskin, a
�schooner, carried five guns and fifty men, and was captured by the British Frigate Statira on
August 7, 1812. He was also an owner of the Andrew Jackson, after its capture in the war,
registering it as a merchant ship when the war was over. Earlier in his career, Whittredge was
also an owner of the Clarissa, registered in 1794, and the Argo, registered in 1808. Whittredge’s
will and other documents reveal interest in ships not mentioned in this register as well. xxix The
ship register shows a chart of private signals from commercial houses, which includes an image
of Whittredge’s signal, shown below. xxx
In the mid-eighteenth century, Joseph Dean owned a large piece of land in Salem, just
south of the North River. The road to the west of this land was named for him for nearly a
century. When he died, he left it to his son John Dean, who in turn sold it to Joseph Sprague on
October 25, 1774.xxxi During that time, Federal Street was laid on the southern border of this
land, named in 1792, and a bustling community of merchant families was created. Sprague, also
a merchant, sold a piece of his land which would become 144-146 Federal Street, to Thomas
Whittredge on November 30, 1799 for six hundred and twenty-five dollars.xxxii This original deed
describes the boundaries of the land, which have remained unchanged to this day. It explains that
the western edge of the land was bounded by Dean Street (later Flint Street) and ran one hundred
and fifty-one feet. The north end was bounded by a school house’s land and ran forty-six feet,
eight inches. The east end was bounded by more land that still belonged to Sprague, and ran one
�hundred and fifty-one feet, equal to the western side. The southern border was a little longer than
the northern border, spanning sixty-one feet, one inch, and was, and still is, bounded by Federal
Street. Whittredge had the mansion built soon after purchasing the land, and it was completed
around 1802.xxxiii
The image below, from an 1890 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, shows the border of the
property, along with its original buildings, including the two-story stable on the northern border.
Behind the lot is the school house property mentioned in the deed, which had been turned into a
six-dwelling tenement house by 1859. xxxiv (The top of the image is East.)
xxxv
After moving into the new house, Thomas and Sarah Whittredge’s fourth child, Edward,
died on August 25, 1803 at only twenty months of age.xxxvi The next year, however, their
youngest, Sarah, was born on November 1, 1804. The children were all raised in the Federal
Street mansion, and Thomas Whittredge lived there with his wife until he died at age 63 on
September 16, 1829 of “mortification of toes and foot.” xxxvii
In his will, Whittredge stated, “I give and devise to my wife Sarah the mansion house,
buildings, and land under and adjoining the same where I now dwell.” Sarah Whittredge
continued to live in the house until 1841, when she transferred the deed of mortgage to her
�daughter Sarah W. Osborne, and son-in-law, George S. Osborne, a physician from Danvers. xxxviii
Sarah Whittredge then moved to Danvers, where she died on August 16, 1845 at age seventyeight after a “bowel complaint.” xxxix
Upon her death, she left the property equally to her daughter, Sarah W. Osborne, and her
granddaughter, Elizabeth Williams (the daughter of Thomas Cook Whittredge, and wife of
Henry S. Williams). xl The following year, Sarah Osborne paid her niece Elizabeth Williams two
thousand dollars to purchase her half of the property. As of March 25, 1846, the house belonged
entirely to Thomas and Sarah Whittredge’s daughter, Sarah W. Osborne, and her husband
George.xli
Though the house was in the family for four generations, Thomas and Sarah Whittredge
appear to be the only family members who actually lived in the house as adults. Beginning in the
1850s, the house was split up and rented out, first as a two-family dwelling, and later into
tenement rooms. Around this time, Salem’s booming commerce and shipping economy began to
decline a bit; fewer stately mansions were being built, those that were built were instead erected
further inland, and many existing mansions were being repurposed for other uses. In a 1914
book, Historic Homes of New England, Mary H. Northend laments the end of a romantic era of
young merchants and “jolly sailor lads… bound for Kit’s Dancing Hall,” and the long-closure of
local Inns. Further, she complains that “the large, square homes of yesterday are now
degenerated into tenement houses.” xlii
While this shift may have seemed like a negative one to some in Salem, it is likely a
major reason that some houses such as the Whittredge House remained standing for so long.
Additionally, although none so lucrative as the merchant career of Thomas Whittredge, many of
the house’s residents owned successful businesses in various trades.
�The first renters kept the merchant community alive, as they were both sea captains
themselves. By 1851, Sarah and George Osborne were renting out the house to Captain John Day
on the 144 Federal Street side, and Captain Richard Matthews at 146 Federal Street. xliii The 1851
survey map shows Day and Matthews’ names as owners of the property’s buildings (and the
existing MACRIS record cites Day as owner because of this), however the map must be referring
solely to the house’s residents at the time, as it was still owned by the Osbornes. xliv
In 1860, Xenophon Hector Shaw and his wife Eliza began renting the 144 Federal side of
the house. Xenophon was born on October 28, 1799 in Middlesex, Massachusetts, and Eliza was
born August 16, 1801 in Salem. xlv xlviThe two married on July 1, 1821. xlvii By the time they
moved to the Whittredge house, the couple was older and had three grown children, Mary Shaw,
Brown Emerson Shaw and Hannah Tappan,.xlviii Eliza died just seven years later on November
14, 1868. Eventually Xenophon’s daughter Mary Shaw moved into the house and is listed as a
boarder and housekeeper in the city directories between 1870 and 1886. xlix The two lived in the
house until Xenophon’s death on December 7, 1886. Xenophon owned a picture framing and
gilding business with his son Brown Emerson Shaw, called Xenophon H. and Son. The business
was established in 1820, when Xenophon himself was just twenty years old, so was likely
already a family business. Brown continued the family business with his sister Mary after their
father’s death until 1896, which is the last year it is listed in the directory. l They had large
advertisements placed in several of the Salem City Directories between the 1860s and 1890s.
Shown below is their ad from 1886. li
�By 1866, on the 146 Federal side, Daniel Frye Nichols had moved in with his family.
Daniel was born in 1805 and was married to Lydia F. Cheever (born 1806) on August 8, 1827 in
Salem.lii Similar to the Shaws, the couple moved into the Whittredge house as an older couple
with adult children. In this case, many of their adult children moved with them into the house,
including Randle, Lydia, Abbie, Benjamin, and Henry C. Nichols, all between the ages of twenty
and thirty-four. Daniel F. Nichols made his living as a tanner, working in the tanneries on the
North River near the house. liii In another similarity to the Shaw’s side of the building, Lydia died
only a few years after moving in, on September 1, 1872 at age sixty-six of unknown causes.
By 1880, though Daniel still lived in the house, his son Henry C. Nichols had taken over
as the head of household at 146 Federal Street, living there with his wife Mary, and young son
Edward.liv The Henry Nichols family lived in the house until 1889, following the death of Daniel
Nichols on October 8, 1888. Abby F. Nichols, Henry’s older sister, also continued to live in the
house as a boarder until 1889.
While the Nichols and Shaw families lived in the house, house owners Sarah Whittredge
Osborne died on February 17, 1883 and her husband George Osborne died on September 21,
1882. Upon their deaths, they left the property to their two children George S. Osborne, and
�Eliza D. Shepard. lv The two were “tenants in common” and continued to live elsewhere and rent
out the building until Eliza’s death in 1930.lvi
In 1890, James H. Fitzpatrick moved to 146 Federal, though only for a short time. lvii In
1895, William Sheehan, a physician, moved into the home. William married Katherine C. Anglin
in 1909. Beginning in the 1912 city directory, “K.C. Sheehan” is also listed with William, also as
a physician.lviii This is clearly referring to Katherine, who was also a doctor. In the 1924
directory, her name is listed with William’s in its entirety, both as physicians. lix In the
directories, William gives his office hours next to their address, so it seems he may have visited
patients at the home. lx The couple raised five children in the home and lived there until
William’s death in 1924. Katherine was there for two more years on her own, still practicing
medicine, before moving to another house. lxi
When she died in 1930, owner Eliza D. Shepard left the property to her two children,
Thomas O. Shepard, and Sarah W. Shepard. They never lived there, nor do they seem to have
rented it out, as during their brief ownership the city directory lists the house as vacant. lxii Neither
Thomas nor Sarah ever married or had children, living together until they died. Thus, this is
where ownership of the house left the Whittredge family line.
Thomas and Sarah sold the house to Francis J. Murphy and his wife Louise in 1931, not
long after inheriting it.lxiii Francis was a leatherworker, born July 16, 1899, who married Louise
M. Brophy in 1926.lxiv The two had a daughter, Mary, in 1929, and purchased the Federal Street
home on April 7, 1931.lxv They lived there with their daughter and a servant, eventually giving
birth to a son, Frances.lxvi It seems that they preferred to use the house for only their family
instead of renting it out to tenants, as Francis Murphy is listed as the only occupant of both 144
and 146 Federal Street on the city directories of this time. lxvii They lived in the house until about
�1945, before moving elsewhere in Salem. In 1945, the house was rented out as furnished
tenement rooms, advertised by Laura M. Smith in the city directory, who also lived in the house,
and must have managed the tenants for the owners. lxviii In 1945, there were many tenants,
including Nathan Tucker, Florence and Silvio Landry, Julia Symonds and her husband Frank, a
lathe hand, and widow Marie Maillet. lxix
The Murphys sold the house soon after turning it into tenements, on April 27, 1946 to
Joseph and Tekla Rostkowski, a couple from Poland.lxx They owned the house for just over a
year, and it doesn’t appear that they ever lived there themselves. Laura M. Smith continued to
advertise furnished rooms at the house during this time, until the next owner took over the job
herself. Esther M. and Thomas F. Henry purchased the house on June 25, 1947 and continued to
rent out furnished rooms, advertising them in the directory, while also living there themselves. lxxi
Thomas Henry was born June 5, 1920 in Peabody, and Esther Trabucco, known as Babe,
was born October 8, 1919 in Beverly. lxxii They were married in 1941 in Salem, and had four
children, Thomas, Michael, Barbara, and Patricia. Thomas was enlisted in the army as a private
on October 9, 1944 for the duration of the war; his cemetery marker shows him as a Technician
Fifth Grade. When not serving, Thomas was an engineer at New England Instruments, and
Esther started Henry Associates, a real estate business, in addition to managing tenants in her
home.lxxiii
Below is a picture of Esther and three of their children in 1944, and a picture of Thomas
in 1945.
�The Henry’s tenants listed between 1946 and 1950 are Frank and Julia Symonds;
Josephine Rostkowski, a payroll clerk at John Lynn and Sons, incorporated, and her husband
John; Clifford M. Smith, a machinist; Donald and Doris Haskell; Marie Henry; Mary McGrath;
George Angelico; Joseph Angelico; Mary Kelly; Albert and Ruth Thibodeau; Kenneth Shepard,
a cable splicer at NET&T Company; a nurse, Mrs. Ellen Linscomb; Constance “Connie” Clay, a
telephone operator at NET&T Company, and her husband Leo, a contractor; and several
employees of the Sylvania light bulb factory, Augusta V. Rostkowski, Alice M. Rostkowski,
Robert O. Westman, and Esther Crowell. lxxiv
Additionally, four members of the United States Coast Guard Air Station lived in rooms
in the house at the same time, three of them with their wives. Between 1935 and 1970, Winter
Island, off the coast of Salem, was the site of a United States Coast Guard Air Station, which
patrolled the northeastern shore by plane, “responding to emergency calls off the Atlantic Coast
�from as far south as Connecticut and as far north as Halifax… the men bravely saved dozens of
lives at sea, and risked their own,” according to Salem collector and history writer, Nelson
Dionne.lxxv The USCG Air Station aviators who lived in the Whittredge House beginning in 1949
are Wilbur Stanley, and his wife Eileen, Clarence W. Stanley, Cecil R. Furr, and his wife Jean,
and Paul H. Lavallee and his wife Beatrice. lxxvi
Owners Thomas and Esther Henry lived in the house until Thomas’ death on March 31,
1983, though it isn’t clear for how long its rooms were rented out, as the city directories stop
listing its residents in the 1950s. lxxvii By the 1990s, Esther was no longer living in the Whittredge
House, and it was no longer kept up. In 1997, when the MACRIS report was made, the house’s
windows were gone and had been boarded up.lxxviii
On March 26, 1998, current owners Michaeline D. La Roche and her husband Robert J.
Ouellette purchased the house and land from Esther Henry. Since then, its traditional windows
have been replaced, and the exterior restored, and the house at 144-146 Federal Street remains a
beautiful and historic example of Salem’s Federal architecture, a monument to the maritime
history of Salem.

ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION
Describe architectural features.
Evaluate
the characteristics
of the building
in terms of other buildings
within the
community.
Setback on a narrow lot which it shares with 86 Federal Street, 84 Federal Street is a modest, 2 1/2-story, Queen Anne-style
dwelling. The building is sheathed i n a combination o f wood clapboards and wood shingles and is capped by an asphalt roof
with an off-ridge brick criirnney. Dominating the gablefront is a two-story, three-sided bay window which is capped by a
flared-hip roof and lit by wide 1/1 windows. T o the west of the bay window is a single-story porch which fronts the
remainder o f the facade as well as the west elevation. The porch is supported by Roman Doric columns which rest on a
wood-shingled wall. The sidehall entrance contains a glass-and-panel front door. Adjacent is an oval, stained-glass window
accented by four keystones. The remaining windows are primarily 1/1 sash. A tri-partite window consisting o f a 1/1 sash
flanked by two narrow 1/1 windows is centered in the gable, flanked by fishscale wood shingles. The triangular section in the
top of the gable is extended forward and there is a pent roof at the base, enclosing the gable. Projecting from the east
elevation is a two-story cross gable.
The house is setback from the street with an asphalt driveway extending in front o f the house. A low brick w a l l and
ornamental plantings are immediately adjacent to the building. A chain link fence marks the boundary between 84 Federal
Street and its neighbor to the east.
HISTORICAL NARRATIVE
Describe the history of the building.
Explain
its associations
with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building
and
the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community.
The house at 84 Federal Street was constructed in 1899 for A l v i n J. Mooney. The building was constructed on the site of the
former b a m associated with 86 Federal Street, owned in 1897 by M r s . Louise Mooney. Mooney, a conductor for the B & M
Railroad, had this house (originally known as 86 1/2 Federal) constructed for his own use. The adjacent house at 86 Federal
was then rented out. A l v i n Mooney continued to occupy 84 Federal until 1944. M a b e l W a r d lived here from 1945-1948 and
Charles McTiernan, a station engineer, and his wife, A l i c i a , lived here from 1950 until about 1965.

History of occupants & owners
92 Federal Street, Salem
According to available evidence, this house was built by James Gould,
housewright, in 1788. It was his residence from 1794 until his death in
1810. It was later (1830-1861) the home of Caleb Warner, a prominent
silversmith and jeweler.
James Gould bought the land hereabouts in May, 1767, from Mrs. Mary
Toppan: it fronted 7 poles I link (115') on "a new town way" (Federal Street)
and butted on the broad North River (ED 128:28). On the westerly part of the
lot (evidently), he built a house in 1770 which he and his family occupied as
their residence, probably with the easterly part used as a garden. In 1788 he
built a second house on the easterly part of the lot. 1
In September, 1794, Mr. Gould sold the westerly house and its land,
fronting 65.5' on Federal Street, to grocer Samuel Archer (ED 157:235).
Thereafter he resided in this house (#92).
James Gould was born in Danvers about 1735. Like most boys of his place
and time, James was apprenticed to learn a trade when he was twelve or
thirteen. His master was a housewright, and James spent eight years learning
that trade. His younger brother Josiah followed him into that trade, and may
have worked with him. James was a journeyman as of 1757, and, as a good
and dependable worker, probably received a good deal of patronage. In 1758
he married Mehitable Townsend, who came from Lynn, as had his own
mother. No children were listed as born to the couple, but the records are not
complete. In August, 1758, at about the time of his marriage, James Gould
purchased a piece ofland on Cambridge Street, and built a house thereon as
his residence (see ED 96:220, 122:250).
At this time, Salem was a prosperous seaport, with a thriving fishery as
well as an extensive merchant shipping business to the Caribbean and Europe.
Salem's main export was salt cod, which was caught far offshore, and then
"cured" until it was hard and dry and could be shipped long distances. This
was a staple food in Catholic Europe (Spain and Portugal especially) and also
in the Caribbean, where it was fed to slaves. To Europe went the
"merchantable" cod (highgrade), and to the Caribbean went the "refuse" cod
(low quality). Either sort, put into a pot of boiling water, would tum into
1 It is not possible to be certain which house was built first, now-#94 or now-#92. Both were built on
the same parcel that Gould acquired in 1767; and #94 has already been assigned the earlier date.
�nutritious food. Lumber, horses, and foodstuffs were also sent to the
Caribbean, whence came sugar, molasses, cotton, and mahogany. The
molasses was turned into rum in Salem's distilleries, and sold locally and
regionally, and some overseas. From Europe came finished goods, wine, fruit,
feathers, and leather. There was also some trade between Salem and the
Chesapeake Bay area, which provided com, wheat, and tobacco, while South
Carolina provided rice. Most merchant vessels were small, under 60 tons. Toe
salt water came in along Derby and New Derby Streets all the way to the
present Post Office; and in this secure inner harbor, known as the South River,
were most of the wharves and warehouses, although some wharves were built
along the North River too.
In 1761, a group of Salem and Boston merchants sued to prevent the
use of search warrants ("writs of assistance") by the Customs officials who
were trying to inspect their vessels and warehouses. In the courtroom, attorney
James Otis Jr. electrified the audience with his argument for American rights
and liberties-an event that John Adams later identified as the birth of''the
child independence." Later in the decade, Salemites protested against the
Stamp Act, and applied tar and feathers to a couple of men who disagreed. In
Boston, the opposition was even larger and more determined, as mobs
attacked the royal officials' houses and beat up their flunkies. The British
authorities were surprised at the Americans' resistance to their policies, and
feared an insurrection. In 1768, they sent over a small army of occupation and
installed it in Boston. Now the Americans were forced to see themselves as
misbehaving colonials, and to realize that they were not free. They did not like
this picture, and the result was bitter public opposition and more street
violence in Boston.
The Boston Massacre, in which townsmen were gunned down by the
soldiers, took place in March, 1770; and then all of Massachusetts turned
openly against the British, and the clouds of war gathered on the horizon.
James Gould was able to make a good living in the early 1760s for, despite the
political problems, Salem remained pretty prosperous, and contracts were
always being given for construction of new houses, additions, wharves, stores,
warehouses, barns, distilleries, and other buildings. Mr. Gould was a member
of the First Church. His faith was tested by the early death of his wife
Mehitable, who died, probably, in 1762 or 1763. Eventually, he began to
socialize again, and in April, 1764 he married Lydia Sherman of Lynn. Later
that year, his brother Josiah Gould married Sarah Sherman of Lynn, perhaps
Sarah's sister. It may be that James and Josiah Gould were partners in the
construction business. In March, 1767, James Gould sold to James Punchard,
fisherman, a new house that he had built on a small lot on North Street (ED
124:248). As has been noted, he bought the lot here on "New Street" in 1767;
and he mortgaged it to the seller for about 39 li (ED 121 :54). In 1770, Mr.

�Gould had the house (#94) built. Its plan was unusual for Salem, in that it
fronted on the street with four window bay, with raised-field paneled
throughout, showing the taste and quality of Mr. Gould's work as a carpenter.
James Gould was a devout person. In 1770 the First Church minister,
Rev. Thomas Barnard, had a stroke and needed a young colleague minister.
The congregation could not agree on an assistant, and so a large minority
withdrew amicably and formed the North Church with Mr. Barnard Jr. as its
minister. James Gould was one of this group. The new North Church was built
in the spring of 1772, at the comer of North and Lynde Streets. No doubt Mr.
Gould was involved in the construction of the edifice. The new society had
some of the richest families in town, including the Brownes and others who
would prove to be loyalists at the time of the break with England. The ruling
elder of the First Church, John Nutting, became the ruling elder of the North
Church (with Joshua Ward), and James Gould and Samuel Holman were
elected its first deacons. 2
In 1771, Mr. Gould's father, a Danvers farmer, died. In 1772 and 1773
James and his brother Josiah for 50 Ii purchased the interest of their brothers
Benjamin and Amos in the 60-acre farm and a two-acre piece in Lynn (ED
130:230). In November, 1772, Mr. Gould sold his former home, on
Cambridge Street, for 120 Ii to Rev. Thomas Barnard (ED 122:250). And in
April, 1774, for 156. 12.8 James and Josiah Gould sold their father's property,
at a good profit, to Elizabeth Foster, wife of Joshua Foster, a Marblehead
tailor (ED 137 :2).
Pre-revolutionary Salem had more than its share of Tories; but the
Sons of Liberty were in the majority. Wealthy scions of families like the
Curwens, Pickmans, and Brownes, stayed loyal to the King, as did many
others who had married into the merchant families. In 1774, military rule was
imposed from England as Gen. Thomas Gage became governor of
Massachusetts and the port of Boston was shut down in punishment for the
Tea Party of December, 1773. On June 2, 1774, Salem became the new capital
of Massachusetts, as a reward for its supposed loyalty. Governor Gage and his
officials relocated to the North Shore, and the Customs operation was
conducted from Marblehead, while Salem became the major seaport of New
England, handling virtually all of the commercial business that Boston had
done. Hundreds of new people moved to Salem, and the legislature met in
Salem's Court House. In short order, that legislature, led by Sam Adams,
turned into a rebel body, and voted to ignore British laws and to send
delegates to a continental congress. Gage tried to shut it down, but it was too
late: he had lost control of Massachusetts to the rebel assembly gathered in
Salem. The town still had a powerful and outspoken group ofloyalists, led by
2
p. 547 H.F. Worthley, Inventory of Records, Harvard Theological Studies XXV, 1970

�Peter Frye, a prominent merchant and magistrate whose wife was a Pickman.
One night in October, Judge Frye learned just how far the rebels were willing
to go: his fine house on Essex Street was burned down and his family barely
escaped with their lives as half a block of houses and stores and a church all
burned down.Next day, the rebel assembly met again and voted to move their
proceedings to Concord; and Gage and his officials moved to Boston, and
many of the loyalists followed.
Outside of Boston, all of Massachusetts was under the control of the
rebels. By January, 1775, loyalists had been purged from the Salem militia
regiment, and Col. William Browne was replaced by the rebel Col. Timothy
Pickering, who was writing a book on military drill. One Sunday in February,
1775, the Revolutionary War almost began in Salem. When everyone was in
church, Col. Leslie's redcoats marched overland from Marblehead and arrived
in downtown Salem, hoping to seize cannon and munitions in North Salem.
They came down North Street, in sight of this house, and suddenly halted at
the North Bridge the Salem men, alerted by a Marblehead rider, had pulled up
the draw of the bridge. Presumably James Gould, who lived so near the
bridge, was present on that day, and perhaps even involved. His pastor, Rev.
Thomas Barhard Jr. of the North Church, engaged Col. Leslie in discussion;
and his folio~ congregant, Capt. John Felt, warned Leslie that blood would
flow ifhe did not turn back. Negotiations followed, and agreement was
reached: theidraw went down, Leslie's men advanced a short distance into
North Salem, faced about, and marched back through Salem's South Fields
and Marblehead, whose own regiment, led by Col. Jeremiah Lee, could have
slaughtered them. Instead, the Marbleheaders fell in behind them, marching in
mockery of Leslie's Retreat as the British made their way back to the beach
and boarded their whaleboats to return to the transport vessel. With the battle
at Lexington & Concord, April 19th, 1775, the die was cast. Of course no one
knew how the war would end, and there was little to indicate that the colonials
could actually defeat the King's army and navy, but virtually every ablebodied Salem man and boy gave himself over to the cause.
Salem's regiment participated in the siege of Boston, as George
Washington took command of the army in Cambridge. The British left in
March, 1776, never to return. Washington's army was pushed southward from
Long Island in a series of defeats, during which Salem's Col. Timothy
Pickering became one of the General's most trusted officers, and
Quartermaster General of the army. Washington's first victory was the Battle
of Trenton, on Christmas Day, 1776, made possible by the Marblehead
regiment of Gen. John Glover. Eventually most of the Salem men came home
and sailed in privateers for the duration of the war, which went on for years.
The land war ended in 1781 at Yorktown, but the war continued at sea and
Salem men continued to risk and lose their lives until 1783.

�In some places, the post-war loss of the former colonial connections
and trade routes was devastating, for Americans were prohibited from trading
with most British possessions; but in Salem, the merchants and mariners were
ready to push their ships and cargoes into all parts of the known world. They
did so with astonishing success. For a period of about 25 years, Salem was a
famous center of commercial enterprise: by virtue of competing fiercely,
pioneering new routes, and opening and dominating foreign markets, Salem
won a high place in the world. Hasket Derby, William Gray, Eben Beckford,
and Joseph Peabody were the town's commercial leaders. In 1784, Derby
began trade with Russia; and in 1784 and 1785 he dispatched trading vessels
to Africa and China, respectively. Voyages to India soon followed, and to the
Spice Islands and Pepper Islands (Sumatra, Java, Malaya, etc.). Once again,
Salem was a boom-town, fueling much new construction. James and Josiah
Gould partook of their share of the new business, and did well. James and
Lydia had no children, but Josiah and Sarah had sons Josiah and James, born
in 1766 and 1768. Deacon James Gould left the North Church to join the
Tabernacle Church, and became deacon of the congregation there by 1783
(see Worthley, pp. 542-544).
The Tabernacle's minister, Rev. Joshua Spalding, was aggressively
orthodox in a town whose other congregations were embracing Unitarianism.
Spalding made many enemies, including Rev. William Bentley, who, in his
diary, has much to say about the Tabernacle and its minister. Bentley seems to
have respected James Gould (many years later, on November 8, 1801, Bentley
noted in his diary, after being irked by Mr. Spalding, "honest Deacon Gould
says, when I work I use the sharpest tools I can find. Mr. Spaulding differs
from his neighbors, as he prefers the dullest. Well said, Deacon."). In 1784
through 1787 James Gould was taxed on a house and shop (worth 300 Ii in
1784) and on stock & faculty (worth 250 Ii in 1784). In 1787, with currency
changes, the house was valued at 175 Ii and Mr. Gould (a second adult male
lived in the house) had personalty valued at 120 Ii. In 1788, he was also taxed
on a "new house," valued at 50 Ii. It was probably brand-new and not yet
occupied. The new house (#92) probably had interior trim (later most ofit was
removed) similar to that still intact at #94.
From a January 11, 1789, entry in the diary of William Pynchon,
Salem lawyer, we learn that Deacon James Gould was noted for wearing his
hair plain at a time when most men wore wigs. As Mr. Pynchon came to
church that day, evidently not wearing his wig, the parson said "I took you for
Deacon Gould," to which a friend joked, "You certainly have on the deacon's
wig." By 1790 Mr. Gould was taxed on one house & shop again (200 Ii; 150 Ii
for personalty), evidently because this house (#92) was taxed to the tenants
who resided here.
In 1790, his namesake nephew died at the age of 22.
5
�By the 1790s, the new foreign-trade markets-and the coffee trade,
which would be opened in 1798 with Mocha, Arabia-brought great riches to
the Salem merchants, and raised the level of wealth throughout the town: new
ships were bought and built, more crews were formed with more shipmasters,
new shops and stores opened, new partnerships were formed, and new people
moved to town. In 1792 Salem's first bank, the Essex Bank, was founded,
although it "existed in experiment a long time before it was incorporated," per
Rev. William Bentley. From a population of7921 in 1790, the town would
grow by 1500 persons in a decade. At the same time, thanks to the economic
policies of Alexander Hamilton, Salem vessels were able to transport foreign
cargoes tax free and essentially to serve as the neutral carrying fleet for both
Britain and France, which were at war with each other.
By the early 1790s, Deacon James Gould was in his fifties, and he
probably was slowing down. Rev. Mr. Bentley, in his diary, noted that on 23
Oct. 1794 the draws of the North Bridge collapsed as 20 oxen were crossing
over. He notes that "the builder of the bridge, one Gould, was totally ignorant
of mechanics." He also notes that the bridge was repaired five years before. It
is not clear that the builder of the draws was James Gould, or that the problem
arose from the repairs of 1789 or from the original construction of the bridge,
much earlier.
On 3 Sept. 1794, having subdivided the property here, James Gould
sold off the western part of the lot, with the house (#94) thereon, for 300 Ii to
Samuel Archer Jr., Salem shopkeeper (ED 157:235,235). Mr. Gould would
live on for another 16 years, residing in this house (#92) and eventually
becoming a lumber dealer. He died in July, 1810, aged 76 years. In the
inventory of his property, made on Dec. 19, 1810, the "house and lot ofland
in Federal Street" were valued at $2000. He also owned half a house in South
Street, and a pew in Mr. Worcester's meeting house. The furnishings of the
house included three beds, four quilts, walnut desk and table, mahogany and
maple tables, a musket, the usual fireplace equipment, apparel including three
linen shirts and one camb!et cloak, and one lot of books and a silver watch
(see inventory appended).
In May, 1812, for $ 1061, the house and land here were sold to Josiah Gould,
Beverly gentleman; the land fronted 60' on Federal Street and butted 55' on
the North River (ED 197:21). In 1820 the house was occupied (per census, p.
I 04) by tenants John Grant and Joseph Pettingell and their families. In 1822,
Josiah Gould, Beverly gentleman, died. In August, 1829, for the Josiah Gould
heirs sold the premises to one of their number, Sarah Gould of Salem,
singlewoman (ED 253 :279). She had been born in Boxford in 1780, the
daughter of Daniel Gould and Sarah Bradstreet. In January, 1830, she married
Caleb Warner, a Salem jeweler, and they resided here. The 1830 census (p.
6
�3 71) lists them as residing here with two teenaged girls, a girl 5-10, a boy 510, a boy 10-15, and a boy 15-20----probably all of these are the offspring of
Caleb Warner by his first two marriages.
Caleb Warner (1784-1861) came from Ipswich (the son of William
and Susannah Gould). He was evidently apprenticed to a Salem silversmith
(perhaps Jabez Baldwin) and from 1801 to 1820 worked as a silversmith and
jeweler, with a shop on Essex Street and then on Essex Place, perhaps
specializing in clocks and watches. In January, 1812, he, jeweler, and Timothy
Brooks, merchant, together bought a house and land on Bridge Street, west of
the comer lot of Winter Street (ED 196:114). Evidently they occupied that
house as a double family residence. In September, 1815, Caleb,jeweler, for
$1325 bought out Mr. Brooks's half-interest in the Bridge Street homestead
(ED 208:135). Caleb was twice a widower: in 1809 he had married Mary
Pearson (died 1817); and in 1819 he had married Mrs. Mary Porter (died
1825, aged 40, of consumption, soon after the birth of son William). Both left
children, baptized at the Second Church. Caleb partnered with John Warner
from 1820 to 1822, and then went to Portland in 1825 and partnered with
Charles Lord as silversmiths and jewelers. He returned to Salem and partnered
here in 1830 with Thomas Lord and later with J.F. Fellows. 3
In September, 1835, Caleb Warner, Salem jeweler, for $600
mortgaged to Elizabeth G. Warner, Salem widow, his house and land on
Bridge Street (ED 284:201). In the 1842 directory we find Caleb Warner,
jeweller at 201 Essex Street, with residence at 22 Federal Street (this house
had a low number before Marlborough Street, which lay east of North Street,
was absorbed into Federal Street).
In September, 1848, Sally G. and Caleb Warner sold for $112 to the
Essex Railroad Company a parcel of flats on the North River, adjoining the
railroad tracks, it being the northernmost part of the homestead land (ED
402;105).
In the 1851 directory we find Mr. Warner listed as selling "spectacles,
179 Essex Street, house 22 Federal". Spectacles were by then evidently his
main product line, although he was chiefly noted (as at the time of his death)
as a watchmaker. It is reductive, given his 50-year career as silversmith and
jeweler, to reduce him to association with one product.
Per the 1860 census (house 2113), Caleb Warner, 76, "jeweller",
resided here with wife Sally, 77, and Margaret J. Gould, 20, probably a grandniece of Sally. On April 18, 1861, Caleb Warner, "watchmaker", died of

in Portland, Maine.

�cancer, in his 77th year. Four years later, on April 12, 1865, Sarah Gould
Warner, widow, 85, died of"old age".
In April, 1871, the heirs of Mrs. Sarah (Gould) Warner sold the house
and land for $3650 to Benjamin Shreve, of Salem, who was, like Caleb
Warner, ajeweler (ED 823:146). Mr. Shreve (b. 1808) in 1865 had resided
nearby with his wife Charlotte (1865 census, house 314). He was a well-to-do
partner in the Boston jewelry firm which later became Shreve, Crump & Low.
Sometime in the 1870s, evidently, Mr. Shreve converted the house to a
duplex, in the process of which (evidently) he took down the original central
chimney, walled off the two units through the center of the house, added a
second front entry (evidence in cellar with introduction of milled joists under
the floor of the easterly entry), added a door hood to the enlarged double front
entry (original hood recently removed), and remodeled the interiors with new
moldings except (evidently) for the front rooms, where original paneled
interior shutters were left intact.

�102 Federal St.
This house was built on a portion of land owned by the Bullock
family for many years. The heirs of John Bullock divided the
estate on April 30, 1806. The lot, now. known as 102 J.ederal St.,
was conveyed to George Whitefield Martin of Salem, cabinetmaker
(book 191 page 235).
A certain lot of land in Salem, bound as follows:
Begining at the Southwest corner on Federal St. at a stone by
land this day released by William Farrington to the childr·en
of Sarah Bullock, then run
East bound South by said street 40 1 8 11 to land in occupation of
Sarah Bullock,. then run
North bound East by the last mentioned land 45' 611 to an angle in
the fence, then run still
North by inclining more easterly by the same land 128 1 to the
high water mark, then run
West by said high water mark 53' to the land of Martin then run
South bound West by the last mentioned land 89 1 to said land
released as aforesaid,then run
East bound South by said released land 9 1 511 to the corner part
of the fence, then run
South again and bound West by that land 69 1 4 11 to an angle in the·
fence, then run
South still by inclining more Easterly 41 1 611 to the stone on
Federal St.
Containing about 31 poles, together with the flats north of the
above described land to the channel of the North River (the portion
of the North River called Bickford St. basin was filled solid in
1881 - see appendix A).
A jump in the 1806 tax valuation, for George Martin, see~s to indicate
that the house was on the lot very soon after the above convayance.
This valuation remained : George Martin h(ouse) & s(hop) value $1,200
until 1810, the year Mr. Martin died.

�NOTES:
102 Federal St.
RATIEG T'.'!O.
PERTOD: FEDERAL
11 Unlike its neighbors,
this ti'To-story, plus pitch roof, wooden house
is gable end to the street with the entrance in the east yard. This
undoubtedly allowed room for the five-bay facade. The_)10use has a
nice Federal period door which is now sheltered by the ·added overhead
roof supported by Victorian consoles. There are several small additions
in the rear of the house." (Salem Historic District Study Committee
Investigation)
George Whitefield Martin, the son of Isaac and Hannah Martin, was
baptized in Marblehead on May 5, 1771. He married Sally Bullock
on April 11, 1797. The couple had two children: Sally born in 1798,
died Sept. 1802 and Lucy born Feb. 17, 1801, died Sept. 16, 1889.
The notice of Mr. Martin 1 s death appeared in the Salem Gazette on
Jan. 5, 1810. His wife Sally died in Oct. 1815 at the age of 43.

YOUR HOU SE IS SPECIAL
THERE IS NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE PAST!
Who built your house? When? Who were the first owners? What
were their occupations? You can get the answ~rs to these and
other questions in an HISTORIC SALEM INC. (HSI) house report,
along with the well-known house sign that states the year in
which your house was built and the name & occupation of the
first owner.
The more we know about the history of Salem 1·-s neighborhoods, the
more we can work to preserve and protect them. It is generally
agreed .that the sign and research are a good investment in the
value of an older house. Studies have indicated that an historic plaque on a house does increase its value. In addition,
it establishes an interesting human history of the house.
Over the years, dozens of Salem homeowners have taken advantage
of this program offered by HISTORIC SALEM INC., Salem's non-NcL-:o~&.G:~
-profit group for historic preservation and education. -Full ~~~k~t&tU::
ifid::Udes information abott-t the house and.its owners and costs~
4.'or noP-roe:mbe:rlB-end $100.00 for H.S.I. member-a. Title research only
is $65.00 for non-members and $50.00 for H.S.I. members. Those
wishing to do their own research are encouraged to do so, but should
contact the H.S.Io office for directions and information on what
is needed for correct documentation. Self research starts &t $35.00.
Sample copies of the various types of reports are available for
inspection at the H.S.I. office upon appointment.

�NOTES AND DATE DOCUMENTATION
106 FEDERAL STREET
PERIOD: FOURTH QUARTER
"This large wooden house is a Colonial Revival period,
two-story plus gambrel roof building.
There are bay windows,
cross gables, and a dentil cornice, all of which are representative of this style.
Charles Archer writing for the Salem
Evening News in 1922, tells of an old house which was
previously on this site.
In it the Chandler family lived and
ran a store which was the local gathering place for the
community and the center of news and gossip.
The same Chandler
family built the present grocery store diagonally across the
street."
(Salem Historic District Study Committe Investigation vol. 3 pg.64)
CHANDLER'S OLD GROCERY DURING CIVIL WAR DAYS
Old Times Up-town
"Chandler's store, on the lower corner of Beckford street, was
the general centre for local news and gossip of our
neighborhood on upper Federal street, especially in the long
summer evenings and particularly after the great rebellion, as
it was then called, broke upon the community.
It as a typical
old-fashioned grocery in an ancient yellow wooden dwellinghouse (originally) dating back to the early years of the
nineteenth and very possibly to the close of the eighteenth
century.
The store occupied the whole of the first floor with
a huge fat chimney passing up through the middle to the story
above, where dwelt a family up-stairs.
This chimney materially curtailed the space and the flour,
sugar and cracker barrels left little narrow pathways for the
customers. .A long counter extending from the door to the back
wall, traversed the eastern side of the store and back of that
was the long row of deep tin canisters for the teas and
coffees, sugar, spices, peas and beans.
Ham and bacon in
yellow and brown canvas coverings, hung from the beams overhead
and were diversified by strings of dried apples festooned
between.
But it was the barrel tops that furnished us our reat
forum for full and free discussion of the conduct of the war- a
tremendously engrossing topic.
Chandler's grocery dated back for years and years.
Joseph D.
Chandler, a very old man when I came on the stage, was the head
of the establishment from my earliest recollection and was soon
succeeded by his energetic and bustling son, John Chandler, who
years later built a modern grocery store across the street at
107 Federal, on the corner diagonally opposite of its old home,
and moved the business to the new location. The old store did
a flourishing business for certainly two generations in the
family, if not more, for it had a very solid community to cater
to,"
(Salem Evening News article by Charles Archer)
�As mentioned, an old house/store previously occupied this
site.
In 1874 John Chandler removed the old buildings on the
corner of Federal and Beckford streets (now #107) and built a
store and dwelling house.
In 1896 he removed an old house at
21 Beckford street and built a new house on the site.
He
repeated this pattern in 1897 when he removed the old building
at 106 Federal and had a new one built.

This notice, published in the Salem Gazette on May 1, 1896,
was written about 21 Beckford street, but could also apply to
106 Federal:
"Old house on Beckford Street about 175 years o~belonging to
John Chandler was demolished to make room for a dwelling built
in modern style, designed by Joseph c. Foster, architect.
we
understand Mr. Chandler proposes to erect a fine
two-story-and-a-half house with all the modern improvements,
for which there is abundant space."
�John Chandler was the son of John D. and Mary (McDonald)
Chandler.
He was born on May 31, 1832 at 7 River street.,
where he lived until 1874 when he went to live in his new house
at 107 Federal street.
Mr. Chandler attended Salem schools and
at an early age began to work as clerk in his father's grocery
store.
He was ambitious to do business on his own account and
established a grocery store at the corner of Beckford and
Federal streets.
He was fortunate in his business.
He had the
necessary experience, knowledge and foresight, the sound
judgment and sterling character that brought him substanial
rewards for his industry and activity in business.
He had an
attractive personality, winning friends readily by his kindly
and democratic manner and sympathetic nature.
He belonged to
no clubs or fraternal organizations; he divided his time
between his business and his home.
He was active in the North
unitarian Church and a generous supporter of its work.
He
married, October 26, 1865, Caroline F. Edwards, born at Salem,
April 26, 1840, daughter of Benjamin and Abigail R. (Peele)
Edwards. John and Caroline Chandler had no children.
(Gen~alogy of Boston and Eastern Mass.)
John Chandler died on January 29, 1903. Subsequent to a few
small bequests, the estate was put in a trust to care for his
wife Caroline.
After her death it was to be divided, in equal
shares, by the Association for the Aged and Destitute Women in
Salem and the Salem Seaman's Orphan and Children's Friend soc.
The total personal property was valued at $12,825.01.
The real
estate was valued at $16,000, as shown in the inventory:
Dwelling, store and land s.w. corner of Federal and Beckford
$6,000; House and land 21 Beckford $4,000; Two houses and land
corner of Federal and Beckford $4,800; House, stable and land
7 River $1,200.
The Salem Evening News carried this simple obituary:
"Death of well known grocer, for many years kept a store on
the corner of Federal and Beckford streets.
Mr. John Chandler
died at his home 107 Federal St.
He was a graduate of the
Hacker School.
Leaves a widow."

It was not a large increase however, but this_ could

Hy opinion, considering the taxes, maps, and all other information is that
John

This would make the building

112-114 Federal Street
Salem
According to available evidence, this house was built for Col. John Page,
merchant, in 1782.
John Page was born in 1751, the son of Samuel Page and Elizabeth Clark, who in
1772 had come to Salem from Medford. Samuel became a very successful distiller
and merchant.
John Page (1751-1838) married Sarah Porter of Danvers in 1773, and they had two
surviving sons, John Jr. and Josiah Page. During the Revolution, John Page was a
volunteer in the Rhode Island expedition of 1778. Mrs. Sarah (Porter) Page died,
whereupon John married, second, Esther Mackey, who soon died. John married,
third, in 1793, Ruth Holman, the daughter of an Essex Street hatter, Samuel
Holman. John and Ruth would have four children between 1794 and 1802.
On 7 September 1782 for 170 Ii John Page, merchant, purchased from Ebenezer
Beckford, merchant, a piece of land :fronting southerly 62' on "the north or new
street" (Federal Street), westerly 126' on land of Leach, northerly 62' on land of
John Beckford, and easterly 100' on land of Jenks (ED 139:226). On this land, Mr.
Page had a house built, evidently in that same year, 1782. The house was large and
distinctive: three stories high, five bays across in front, it had (and has) a pitched
roof, rather than the hip roof that would soon be common among houses of this
class. It is of a style that is known as Post-Colonial, meaning that it was somewhat
evolved from Pre-Revolutionary "Georgian" style, but had not yet partaken of the
elements of what is known as "Federal" style.
Up until the time of the Revolution (1775), Salem's trade was prosperous but
modest. The salt water came in as the South River along Derby and new Derby
Streets all the way to the present post office; and in this secure inner harbor were
most of the wharves and warehouses.
After the Revolution, Salem's merchants were ready to push their ships and
cargoes into all parts of the known world. Hasket Derby, William Gray, and
Joseph Peabody were the leaders in this effort. In 1784, Derby opened trade with
Saint Petersburg, Russia; and in 1784 and 1785 he dispatched trading vessels to
Africa and China, respectively. Voyages to India soon followed, and to the Spice
1
�islands (Sumatra, Java, Malaya, etc.). The size and number of vessels was
increased, and by 1800 Salem was the greatest trading port in America, with some
of the wealthiest merchants.
In this bustling and prosperous seaport, John Page sought military and political
advancement, and received it (see EIHC 3:92-93). He was elected Lt. Col. of the
Essex Regiment in 1791 (John Fiske was Brig. General; see Bentley's Diary
IV :64), and he was a federal employee as a Weigher & Gauger at the Custom
House. He also owned a part interest in the distillery that his father had operated.
In 1793, evidently, he and Samuel Ropes formed a partnership, Page & Ropes, to
do business as ship chandlers. They were quite successful, and in 1798 they
contributed $100 toward construction of a privately financed Salem frigate, the
Essex, for defense against marauding French ships (EIHC 75:6). Rev. William
Bentley noted in his diary that he went on a pleasure excursion to Baker's Island in
May, 1798, in the company of Col. Page and Captains Derby and Prince.
In 1800 Page & Ropes spent over $4000 in purchasing from the Derby heirs a store
at the head ofUnion Wharf, fronting northerly on Derby Street (ED 167:176-177).
This store (which they may have leased earlier), with land and wharfage, stood
opposite the mouth of present Union Street, and was a good location for the
enterprise of outfitting ships and their crews. The chandlery was a nautical
department store and grocery store combined, from which was sold everything
from biscuits and quadrants to cordage and barrels of tar. Page & Ropes' s
chandlery appears to have handled more than its share of the trade along Salem's
booming waterfront.
John Page (1751-1838), b. 20 Nov. 1751, Medford, son of Samuel Page &
Elizabeth Clark, died 2 Dec. 1838, Salem. He m/11773 Sarah Porter. He m/2
1793 Esther Mackey (1763-1793). He m/3 9 July 1793 Ruth Holman, born
1761, d/o Samuel Holman. Known issue:

�In 1800, the house was occupied by John Page and family (himself, his wife, 7
boys and young men, 3 girls) and by William Hathorne (16-26 & male 10-16, and
female 45+ and 4 16-26), who may have been Capt. William Hathorne who m.
1800 Miss Dutch and in 1801 moved to Essex Street, where he kept a store.
Mr. Bentley noted (8 Feb. 1803) that Col. Page was among several men who had
commissioned a Major Watkins to build them tombs. When the cost began to soar,
Col. Page was deputed to confront Maj. Watkins, and in the event Watkins drew
his sword and beat Col. Page. The Colonel had him arrested. Bentley noted, "The
Major has come out and done penance to the public satisfaction, by asking pardon
and imploring forgiveness. The reduction of the account (for tomb-building) will
probably be more terrible to him."
Salem at the turn of the century was growing and thriving. The town's merchants
were among the wealthiest in the country. In Samuel Mcintire, they had a local
architect who could help them realize their desires for large and beautiful homes
built and decorated in the Adamesque style. This style (called "Federal" today)
had been developed years before by the Adam brothers in England and featured
fanlight doorways, palladian windows, elongated pilasters and columns, and large
windows. It was introduced to New England by Charles Bulfinch upon his return
from England in 1790. The State House in Boston was his first institutional
composition; and soon Beacon Hill was being built up with handsome residences
in the Bulfinch manner.
Samuel Mcintire, a talented joiner and draftsman of Salem, was quick to pick up
on the style, and to adapt it to Salem's larger lots, as on Chestnut Street, Federal
Street, and Washington Square, a somewhat boggy expanse which was filled in
and cleaned up in the period 1802-4. Mclntire's first local composition, the
Jerathmeel Peirce house (on Federal Street, near North), contrasts greatly with his
Adamesque compositions of just a few years later. The interiors of this style
differed from the "Georgian" and Post-Colonial by eschewing walls of wood
paneling in favor of plastered expanses painted in bright colors or, more
commonly, covered in bold wallpapers. In vernacular (less high-style) houses, the
"wallpaper" effect was achieved by painted walls with an overlay of stencilled
designs. The Adam style put a premium on handsome casings and carvings of
central interior features such door-caps and chimney-pieces (Mclntire's specialty).
On the exterior, the Adam style included elegant fences and houses that were often
built of brick, and, sometimes, attenuated porticoes and, in the high style, string
courses, swagged panels, and even two-story pilasters.

�Salem's foreign commerce was booming in the first decade of the nineteenth
century, as was the commerce of Newburyport and even Marblehead. Salem
vessels sailed to the Caribbean and Europe-including Russia--as before, but were
opening trade to the East as well, sailing to the far side of the globe to trade with
the merchants of the Spice Islands, India, and Malaya. Salem cargoes were
exceedingly valuable.
Salem's boom came to an end with crash, when, in January, 1808, Pres. Jefferson
and the Congress imposed an embargo on all American shipping in hopes of
forestalling war. The Embargo proved futile and nearly ruinous in Salem, whose
commerce ceased. As a hotbed of Democratic-Republicanism, the seafarers of the
Derby Street area, led by the Crowninshield family, loyally supported the Embargo
until it was lifted in spring, 1809. Salem, out of patience with Jefferson, furiously
resumed its seafaring commerce, but still the British preyed on American shipping,
Salem's included; and in June, 1812, war was declared against Britain.
Most of the New England towns opposed the war as being potentially ruinous and
for the benefit only of the western war-hawk states. Not Salem and Marblehead,
which went to war eagerly. Forty privateers were immediately fitted out in Salem,
manned by Marblehead and Salem crews, who also served on U.S. Navy vessels,
including the Constitution. In addition, Salem fielded companies of infantry and
artillery.
Salem and Marblehead privateers were largely successful in making prizes of
British supply vessels. While many of the town's men were wounded in
engagements, and some were killed, the adventure and possible riches of
privateering kept the men returning to sea as often as possible. The first prizes
were captured by a 30-ton converted fishing schooner, the Fame, and by a 14-ton
luxury yacht fitted with one gun, the Jefferson. Of all Salem privateers, the
Crowninshields' 350-ton ship America was the most successful. She captured
more than 30 prizes worth more than $1,100,000.
Salem feared attack from British vessels, and erected forts and batteries on the
Neck. On land, the war went poorly for the United States, as the British captured
Washington, DC, and burned the Capitol and the White House. Along the western
frontier, U.S. forces were successful against the weak English forces; and, as
predicted by many, the western expansionists had their day. At sea, Salem's
vessels often were captured, and its men captured or killed. After almost three
years, the war was bleeding the town dry, and the menfolk were disappearing.
4
�Hundreds of Salem men and boys were imprisoned in British prison-ships and at
Dartmoor Prison in England.
At last, in February, 1815, peace was restored.
Page & Ropes evidently continued to do a good business into the 1820s. By 1820,
Col. John Page and family had moved out of this house and into another one
farther down Federal Street. In 1820, the tenants here were Thomas Cole, a
prosperous "gentleman," and Jonathan Peele Saunders, an auctioneer (see 1820
census, p.106). Mr. Saunders, in 1813, had been a part-owner of the 260-ton
merchant ship Bolina, Capt. John Fairfield (EIHC 39:207).
Through the 1820s the foreign trade continued prosperous; but at the end of that
decade, Salem's maritime commerce sank rapidly. Before that point, Col. Page
decided to sell this house on Federal Street. On 5 April 1823 he sold the house and
land for $3200 (ED 232:24) to his nieces, the well-to-do Misses Abigail, 40, and
Elizabeth Lawrence, 32, daughters of the Colonel's sister Abigail and her husband
Abel Lawrence, of Barton Square. Col. Page and wife Ruth moved into the house
at 335 Essex Street at about this time, and resided there for the rest of their lives.
The Colonel died on 2 December 1838, aged 87 years.
The owners as of 1823, the Misses Lawrence, evidently did not reside here, but
rented the house for income. The tenants in 1830 are difficult to discern; but by
1836 the house (then numbered 44 Federal Street) was occupied by Charles
Mansfield, a mariner, his wife, and whatever children they had. Mrs. Mansfield
was Rebecca B. Dean, and married Charles in 1833. He eventually became a
merchant and shipmaster.
The great lawyer Rufus Choate (1799-1859) was evidently also a tenant of this
house at some point during his residency in Salem, 1828-1834. He is said to have
"occupied the house, 14 Lynde Street, and also lived at 114 Federal Street" (p.197,
Visitor's Guide To Salem, Essex Institute, 1927). The records indicate that in
1828 and 1829 Mr. Choate resided in Ward Four (this ward) in a house not
identified, and that in 1830 and 1831 he resided on Federal Street in a house owned
by John Holman. In 1832 and 1833 he was a Member of Congress and presumably
in Washington, but was listed for tax on personal property in Ward Four. In 1834
he was listed as "gone."
Rufus Choate, a native ofChebacco (now Essex), was among the foremost lawyers
of his day, eclipsing even Daniel Webster in the esteem of many. He won renown
5
�for his successful defense of an alleged murderer, whom he persuaded the jury to
believe may have committed his crime while sleep-walking. He came to Salem in
1828, evidently, and practiced here for at least three years before being chosen a
U.S. Representative. He evidently resided primarily in Washington, DC, in 1832
and 1833, but maintained an address here until 1834, when he left never to return.
He also served an appointment as a U.S. Senator. In the 1850s his health was not
good, and he died while on a cruise in 1859 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
With the advent of railroads and canals in the 1830s diverted both capital and trade
away from the coast. American goods were now being produced at a level where
imports were not so much needed as in the past, and the interior of the country was
being opened for settlement. People moved west, including some from Salem, and
the economic attention of the merchants turned westward with them.
Manufacturing and the railroads now attracted Salem's capital, and many of the
more notable merchants moved to Boston, the center of investment in these nonmaritime industries. The Eastern Rail Road began operating between Salem and
Boston in 1838; the tracks ran right over the middle of the Mill Pond. Salem did
engage in some manufacturing-leather, shoes, textiles--but not on the scale of the
factory towns of Lowell, Lawrence, and Haverhill, with their mills driven by the
powerful waters of the Merrimack.
Of the Misses Lawrence, Abigail, of Danvers, died in 1840; and on 29 January
1845 for $2700 her sister Eliza (with the trustees of Abigail's will) sold the
homestead to George P. Farrington, Salem trader (ED 392:208).
The new owner, George Pickman Farrington, 37 in 1845, grew up in Salem, the
son of a Lynn-born grocer, William Farrington, and of Mary (Ward) Farrington.
George's Salem grandparents were Capt. Ebenezer Ward and Mehitable (Buttolph)
Ward, and he had several sets of Salem uncles and aunts, including Capt. Samuel
Skerry, a prosperous former shipmaster who was killed by the kick of a horse in a
Federal Street stable, and Daniel Farrington, who came from Vermont and may
have been his father's brother. The William Farringtons resided in this
neighborhood.
In 1836 George, a young apothecary (druggist) married Caroline Dean, the
daughter of a hardware dealer, Col. George Dean, and his wife Judith Briggs, who
was the daughter of a well-known shipbuilder, Enos Briggs (EIHC 4:137).
Caroline may well have been the sister of Rebecca Dean, who had married Charles
Mansfield in 1833 and resided in this house in 1836, the year in which Salem
6
�became a city. George, the bridegroom, was a member of the Salem Light
Infantry, an outfit he had joined in 1835 (EIHC 26:269).
In the late 1830s Mr. G.P. Farrington occupied the apothecary shop formerly ofDr.
William Stearns, located at was then 350 Essex Street, at the easterly corner of
Beckford Street. Mr. Farrington had already added on to the northerly side of that
building when, in February, 1839, he entered in a lease agreement with Mrs. Sarah
W. Steams for the store, to run for ten years at $175 per year (ED 311:182-3). In
some circles G.P. Farrington was known as Dr. Farrington in deference to his skill
as a druggist. He was the tenant at 112 Federal as early as 1840.
George Pickman FARRINGTON (1808-1885), born 22 Aug. 1808, son of
William Farrington (1766-1831) & Mary Ward of Salem; died 1885. He m/1

Somewhat stubbornly, Salem's waning merchant class pursued their business on
the sea; but as the years went by the conditions of shipping changed, and Salem
was left on the ebb tide. In the late 1840s, giant clipper ships replaced the smaller
ships that Salem men had sailed around the world; and the clippers, with their deep
drafts and large holds, were usually too large for Salem and its harbor. The town's
shipping soon consisted of little more than visits from Down East coasters with
cargoes of fuel wood and building timber. By 1850 Salem was finished as a
working port; and its glory days were over. An excellent picture of Salem's
waterfront, during its period of decline from glory, is given by Hawthorne in his
"introductory section" (really a sketch of Salem) to The Scarlet Letter, which he
began while working in the Custom House and complete at home on Mall Street.
In 1850, the residents here were George P. Farrington, 40, apothecary, wife
Caroline, 40, children Caroline, 13, Mary W., 11, George P., 9, Anna W. B., 7, and
servant Mary Daley, 22, born in Ireland (1850 census, house 108).
Salem re-tooled as an industrial center, with good success; the symbol of its new
economy was the large twin-towered granite train station, which stood at the foot
of Washington Street, where it had joined the inner harbor. Beginning in the 1840s,
7
�the Salem capitalists built factories that soon filled with Irish immigrant workers as
well as the native-born. Salem's water-oriented downtown area remained intact, or
nearly so, for most of the 19th century, although no more were square-rigged ships
pulled up to wharves along the inner harbor (from Derby Wharf to where the Post
Office now is), and the railroad had been built across the middle of the beautiful
Mill Pond, which extended from the inner harbor all the way to Loring A venue, in
a broad sheet of water between what are now called Canal Street and Jefferson
Avenue. In the early 20th century, both of these ancient bodies of water would
vanish, as they were filled in and buried beneath streets, storage areas, junk-yards,
rail-yards, and parking lots.
Manufacturing.
The tanning and curing of leather was an important industry by the mid- l 800s. It
was conducted near Federal Street Street, along the upper North River and Boston
Street. There were 85 tanneries in 1850, employing 550 hands. The manufacture
of textiles also became important. In 1847 the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company
erected its first mill, 400' by 60', the largest in the U.S. It was an immediate
success, and a secong, larger, building was added in 1859, and a third in 1865. In
this new industrial economy, Mr. Farrington prospered, as more and more people
had need of his medications and drugs. He acquired a new store at 310 Essex
Street, comer ofNorth Street, and ran a second store at 159Y2 Essex Street. The
store at 310 Essex was housed in the so-called Witch House (still standing), of
which Mr. Farrington was a good steward. It had a very different appearance when
it was a drug store.
The Civil War, 1861-1865, evidently had little direct impact on the Farrington
family. George Jr. became an apothecary too, and in 1869 resided at 34 Barr Street
and worked at 310 Essex Street. By that time, the house was being used as a twofamily, with the Farringtons residing in 112 (easterly half) and Rev. James T.
Hewes, 34, and family residing in 114 (westerly half). The Heweses included
Ellen, 30, Henry, two, Elizabeth, one, and a helper, Ellen Bolen, 20, born in Ireland
(1870 census, house 178). They were residing here in 1872 but had moved by
1874.
At some point, Mr. Farrington's first wife, Caroline, died; and he married, second,
a widow (of a Mr. Clark), Susan Briggs, who was much younger than he. She may
have been a relative of Caroline, in that Caroline's mother was a Briggs. George
was born in 1808; Susan in 1826.
8
�In 1878, Mr. Farrington and wife were visited by Francis H. Lee, who was
evidently collecting for the Essex Institute. Among other things, Mr. Farrington
gave him 60 coins, Capt. (Philip P.) Pinell's Marine Society certificate, and a
silhouette of Robert Brookhouse's first wife. Mr. Lee noted that portraits of all of
the Farringtons had been painted by Miss Marianne Derby. "Dr. Farrington's house
was built in 1782 for a Mr. Page, of the firm of Page and Ropes," reported Mr.
Lee. "He also gave me several shop-keeper's shin plasters which circulated in the
early days of the war." (EIHC 60:75).
In 1880, the house here was occupied by George P. Farrington, 71, druggist, wife
Susan B., 53, daughter Mary W., 41, and servant Catherine Burke, 70, born in
Ireland (1880 census, house 73).
George P. Farrington died of heart disease on 29 April 1885, in his 77th year. His
remains were interred at Harmony Grove cemetery. By his will, he evidently
devised this homestead to his wife Susan for her lifetime, with reversionio his
heirs.
Mrs. Susan Farrington resided here for many years more. She was 87 when, on
June 25, 1914, a great fire came up out of Blubber Hollow (Boston Street at
Federal Street) and spread southeasterly, attacking South Salem and ending after a
13-hour rampage. It had consumed 250 acres, 1600 houses, and 41 factories,
leaving three killed and up to 15,000 people homeless.
Mrs. Farrington died on 30 May 1916, in her 90th year. The Farrington heirs
(devisees under Mr. Farrington's will) were George P. Mackie, of Worcester, and
Mrs. George H. Putnam (Carrie L.) of Boston. In April, 1918, Mr. Mackie

�DATE DOCUMENTATTON
The first mention of a dwelling house on this land appears in the
August 1783 deed in which Elijah and Jacob Sanderson divide the
"house" and land. The Sandersons first appear on the tax rolls
in "1784-5" when the brothers are each taxed for part of a house,
valued at $300 and a shop, valued at $75.
"Built as a two-family house by and for Jacob and Elijah Sanderson in
1783 ~ this three-story plus hip roof building has two front
entrances, one in each side yard. The house still has Pre-Federal
period molded window caps and sills; the latter are not seen
frequently. The eastern half of the house was modified when Victorian trim and bay windows were added, but the west side remains
as it was with a pedimented, pilastered entrance. Archer says that
Josiah Hayward, a stone mason, lived at #120 where his daughter
kept a pr:Lvate school and that Deacon John Punchard and his daughter
Keziah lived in the other half of the house.
The Sanderson brothers, who bmilt the house, originally came from
Lexington; Elijah is said to have followed a British officer to
Lincoln where he was captured and kept prisoner in the same field
vri th Paul Revere on the eve of April 16, 1776. Not long after this
incident, the two brothers came to Salem and carried on an extensive
venture cabinet trade, shipping fine Salem-made furniture wherever
Salem vessels sailed." (Salem Historic District Study Committee
Investigation)

House & Land at 121 Federal Street,
Salem, Hass.
This house was built in 1843 for Capt. Joseph Winn ( 1805-80).
Joseph Winn was born in Salem 4 Ap 1805, the son of' Capt.
Joseph ( 1761 -1839) and Marcia, Mercy, or Eary (Hu..v1t) Winn ( 17651805, 2 Oct), who had married in Salem on 14 Dec 1788; Capt. Winn Sr.
married, ·secondly, widow Hary Sluman (died 1831) on 14 Sept 1806,
and she raise~ Joseph, Jr from infancy.
Like his father, young Joseph was bred to the sea, beginning
his maritime career in 1820, at the age of f'ifteen. He made four
voyages on the old ship George, Salem's "school ship. 11 Winn learned.
his lessons well, and, in 1831, when his captain, William C Dean,
died at Calcutta, Joseph assu..med comrnand of Dean 1 s vessel and successfully completed the voyage, ~eturning to Salem and his wife,
Hannah C Stimpson, whom he had married in Salem on 16 Feb 1829.
His next command was i;he ship Sapphire.
By 1837 Joseph Wirn1, then living at 80 Boston St, was accounted
one of Salem 1 s finest sea captains, and as such was given command
of the city 1 s largest vessel, the 463-ton St. ~, m·med by
StAphen C Phillips. On 17 Jan 1837, the St Paul cleared New York
bound for lfanila via M:obile & Liverpool;
she returned to Salem one year, three months, and
twelve days later, on 29 Ap 1838--Mrs Winn having accompanied her
husband the whole voyage!
One :;.nonth later, Capt. Winn & the St Paul again set sail f'or
.Manila, clearing Salem 3 June 1838. The passage to Anjier was
made in 90 days, cnd from Salem to Hanila in 100 days--rema.rkably
fine time for this old ship, built for carrying and not for speed.
On 11 Nov 1838, Capt Winn sailed for home, and made the passage
in 148 days (125 from lmjier, & 53 from St Helena), .arriving at
Salem on 8 Ap 1839. Her cargo consisted of 5,145 bags of sugar,
2, 568 bales of hemp, & other merchandise; she paid duties arnounting
to $12,074.95.
·
.
·
Capt. Winn never again cormnanded the St Paul: by 1842, aft1;;r
a nautical life spent on voyages to the 3ast Indies, the Pacific
islands, & other parts of the Far ~ast, he retjred from the sea.
The St Paul--her figurehead was a ·white bust of the apostle Paul,
& her stern was embellished with a superb carving of the Biblical
story of St Paul shaking the viper from his hand into the fire-foundered at Hasbata Island in the Straits of San Bernardino, on
her fourteenth round-the-world voyage, without loss of life. On
that lust voyage, her master had prophesied her .demise, for the
figurehead of St Paul had been removed. A painting exists of the
St Paul, in the possession either of the Peabody Kuseurn or the
Phillips l'ilem.orial on Chestnut Street.
In 18t1-2, the new landsman Joseph l·!inn resided at 28 Har>lboro
(now Federal) Street, and was in the wholesale shoe business with
S. Driver Jr & Co., 16 'dashington Street, Salem. Ashore now for
good, Capt Winn kept a weather eye out for a new home, or land on
which to build t:P.e same; a year' later, on 21 Ap 1843, Winn 1 s friend
�David Pingree sold him a house lot on Federal Street. Having
moved from 28 Marlboro to 51 Federal Street in 1842, Winn was
in good position to oversee the construction, next door, of this
Greek Revival-style hcuse in the year 1843.
Capt Winn stayed with the firm of S Driver Jr & Co until
1851, when David Pingree, now Mayor of Salem, appointed him City
Marshal at $700 per y'7ar--a position Winn held for three years.
In 1855, County & Marlboro Streets were made a part of Federal
Street, and so #53 became #121 Federal Street. During the Civil
War, Winn was an acting volunteer lieutenant in the U. S. Navy,
and cormnanded the U.S. gunboat James L Davis of the Es.st
Blockading Squadron. In 1863, Capt Joseph Winn returned to Salem,
where he resided at 121 Federal Street until his death 11 Aug 1880.
His widow, Hannah, was willed the estate, then worth $5800
(see Joseph Winn 1 s probate #57491 } , and she in turn willed it in
trust to the Winns' adopted daughter, An.nab., who had married
Nathan P Cutler of Newton; on 29 Ap 1901 (Deeds, 1639:547), her
trustees sold it to Mary E Read, who then sold it to Mabel W .
Bigelow & Cora S Haskell, sisters, on 16 Nov 1904 ~Deeds, 1763:8).
Cera S Haskell died 19 July 1908, leaving her half of the estate
to her sister Mabel W, wife of Walter K Bigelow {see Cora S Haskell
probate #104082).
On 21 Jan 1930, by deed 2834:231, Mrs Bigelow, now widowed,·
sold off a small strip of land to her next-door neighbor; Mrs.
Bigelow died 9 Jan 1939, leaving a daughter, Hrs Lucy H Gould, to
inherit the property (see Mabel "vv Bigelow probate #192917), which
then had a garage on it, and was appraised at $7730.
From that point forward, the history of the house & its lot
is set forth in the accompanying deed schedule.

Records; the Salem Directory; the 3outhern Essex County Registries
of Deeds & Probate; and the Essex Institute Historical Collections,

House and Land at 123 Federal Street,
Salem, Mass.
This house was built by Jonathan F Carlton, Salem housewright,
for Robert S Saunders, Salem merchant, in the year 1843.
Th~oughout
most of the 18th century the land of which this lot
is a part was owned by the Ropes family of Salem. Jonathan
Ropes ( 1718-99), eminent merchant and Revolutionary patriot,
ov:ned the land from 1754 until his death in 1799; in the year
1760 the 11 New Street" (Federal Street) was laid out through
Mr Ropes' property. The property descended to Mr Ropes•
grandson, Jonathan Waldo Jr, merchant, who died unmarried
in 1817; his brothers & sisters released their rights to
Iv.Ir Waldo 1 s estate to their step-father, Rev. John Prince Jr
of Salem, who owned it until 6 Dec 1841, when he conveyed a
large piece of the Waldo estate for $6010 to 'rhomas Perkins,
Salem merchant (328:152). Mr Perkins then sold it for $7600
on 15 Nov 1842 to David Pingree, also a Salem merchant (335:246).
On 21 Ap 1843, Mr Pingree, for $1500, granted to Robert S
Saunders, Salem merchant, the lot (fronting 64 1 11 11 ) that
now comprises 123 Federal Street (339:8). That Mr Saunders
intended to build on the lot is reflected in th_e $1,500
mortgage to the property which he gave to Mr Pingree on the
same day, for therein he mortgages not just the lot, but
11
all the buildings which may be put on the -same preVL(j.ls to
the cancelling of this deed 11 (336:213). On 13 June 1843
Mr Pingree assigned this $1.500 mortgage to the same Thoma~.
Perkins from whoin_J:ie hap_-_originally bought the land ( 338 :43);
Mr Perkins discharged the mortgage on 9 Mar 1844 (336:213).
On 1 July 1843, Robert S Saunders and Jonathan F Carlton,
Salem housewright, signed a contract in which Mr Carlton
agreed to do all the carpenter work on the "two story housen
that I"Ir Saunders was 11 about erecting • • • on Federal Street
on land re~ently bought of David Pingree; 11 Mr Carlton also
agreed to provide men to do the work at $1.75 per day, to
provide all materials 11 at fair market prices 11 that Mr Saunders
himself did not provide, and to allow ¥.Ir Saunders' brother,
Philip Saunders, to do "such work as he or they may deem
expedient" ( 338 :43). 'rhe existence of such a contract is
a real rarity; without it, we would never know that Jonathan
F Carlton was the man who actually built the house.
We may surmise that Mr Carlton's men finished the house before
winter, for in the real estate assessments for 1843, Robert S
Saunders was noted as living at 53 Federal Street, ward four.
This notation has been made in pencil, and he was not assessed
a property tax for that year, for by the time the house was
finished the time period for 1843 taxes had expired. The pencilled
�note does indicate, however, that a house was standing the~e
before the end of the year 1843.
On 23 Feb and 8 Mar 1844, Mr Saunders mortgaged his Federal
Street messuage (a messuage is an old term for a house, its
land, and the outbuildings) once to John Russell and thrice
to John H Nichols, both of Salem; these mortgages were discharged
at various times up to ~O Ap 1847 (342:80, 163,179,211). The
terms of these mortgages clearly imply the existence of a house
on the land.
On 13 May 1845 William Whiting, Roxbury lawyer, aa the assignee
of Robert S Saunders, gave to Mr Saunders' wife, Louisa, the
lot of land with the two story dwelling house thereon "being
the same now occupied by said Robert S Saunders" (355:127).
It appears that Mr Saunders knew he was dying, and wanted his
wife to have the estate before his death occurred; he therefore
conveyed it to his lawyer, Mr Whiting, who conveyed it to Mrs
Saunders. There is no Essex County probate record for Robert
S Saunders• He died on 22 July.1846; on 18 Sept 1846,
Louisa Saunders, Salem widow, for $1370 sold the Federal Street .
est&te to Andrew Ward, Salem merchant; the property was still
mortgaged for $2500 to John Russell, trustee (377:94).
Capt Andrew Ward (1793-1860), formerly a sea-captain, and his
wife Abigail Richardson (Abbott) {d.1877) now moved into the
Federal Street house. Capt Ward and his wife lived here for
fourteen years, until his death an 2 Aug 1860. On 21 Mar 1853
old County & Marlborough Streets were incorporated into Federal
Street, and so the house number changed from 51 to 123 Federal
Street. By his will of 3 Ap 1860 Capt Ward left 123 Federal St.
in.trust to his wife and his son-in-law, Rev. George SG Spence,
who had married the Wards' only child, Abby Richardson Ward,
in 1847; on 21 Feb 1861 the house & land were appraised at
$5500 ( #56290) •
Mrs Ward continued to reside at 123 Federal Street until her
death 30 Mar 1877; four years earlier, 23 June 1873, she had
purchased for $7 a triangular piece of land fronting 3 1 on
Federal St f'rom her neighbor to the ·west, Mary Eliza Gould
(974:104 & plan). From 1874 forward, the Salem Directories
show 1'1rs Abby R (Ward) Spence to be the head of' the house;
she seems to have been widowed. Her sons boarded with her at
various times (her eldest son, Andrew Ward Spence, had his
name changed to Andrew Ward in 1 866). In 1887- her three. sons
Bold thei·r ~.rights to the est.ate to· their sister,: Abbie W,. ,
wife of Charle·s F Tay ('1207: 269, 1213.:.37; 39}. - ·_ . ·
In 1900 the trustees of the Winn estate (121 Federal St)
adjusted the boundary of the two estates with Abbie W Tay
(1623:225). In that same year George F Jelly of Boston reconveyed the premises to Mrs Tay (1623:412); she had conveyed
the estate in trust to Mr Jelly in 1889 ( 1243 :509).
�On 18 Sept 1916, Mrs Tay granted the estate to Margaret G,
wife of William F Carney of Salem (2342:442). Less than two
yearn later, Mrs CarneJ" sold the property to Josiah H Gifford
of Salem, on 3 May 1918 (2391 :230). Mr Gifford soon (25 June
1918) sold the premises to May B, wife of Ralph C Browne of
Salem (2392:)79).
Mrs Browne owned the estate until her death on 10 Ap 1952.
By her will of 8 Oct 1921, she left .the property to her
husband, Ralph C Browne (#237424). V.tr Bro~me remarried;
he died 1 Jan 1960 and left the estate to his wif'e F'lorence
by his will o"t 9 Nov 1959 (#263839). Mrs Browne continues
to own and occupy the estate at 123 Federal Street.

Notes
Jonathan F Carlton, the builder of this house, married Mary
Ann Buxton on 9 May 1832. I do not know if they had any children.
Mr Carlton developed much of lower Federal Street, which was
once referred to as Carlton.ville. On 23 Mar 1843--just about
the same time that Robert S Saunders bought this house-lot-Y.tr Carlton was authorized to build a bridge across the North
River (which was then quite wide all the way back to Boston St)
from the foot of Flint-St over to Hasen St. His bridge lasted
until the terrible storm of 18 Ap :851, when it was swept down
the river and came to rest near the North Bridge (now the
North St overpass).
Robert Shillaber Saunders (1805-46) was born in Danvers, the
son of Henry Saunders of Salem and Sarah Shillaber of Danvers.
He married Louisa Courtis of Salem on 27 Jm 1831 and was a
merchant, described as a shoe dealer in the Salem Directories
for 1842 and 1846. I do not know if he had any children. Mr
Saunders died of consumption on 22 July 1846, aged 41 years.
Capt Andrew Ward {1793-1860) was a sea captain who became a
merchant. He married hbigail Richardson Abbott 11 July 1819,
and they had one child, Abby R, who married Rev George SG Spence
of West Wrentham on 6 Ap 1847. Mr Ward was the son o:f Andrew
Ward, a shipwright, and his wife Martha (Babbidge).

History of the structures:
The early Federal house presently bearing the address 124
Federal Street was built in 1784 for Salem merchant Jonathan Ropes
on or near the
11
100 poles" of land bequeathed to him by his father,
John Ropes, Jr., in 1754 along with "a mansion house, shop and
barn''·
The younger Ropes made few changes to his estate until
after 1780 when he tore down the "ancient" homestead and began
aguiring adjoining northerly properties along the
11
new road" (Lynn
Street) lately laid out by his neighbor Benjamin Goodhue.
By 1783,
he had consolidated the property on which he would construct his
new house in the following year. 1
Jonathan Ropes bequeathed his entire estate to his only
grandchild, Jonathan Waldo, in 1799.
Waldo's professional
occupation was that of an apothecary, but he referred to and
conducted himself primarily as a "merchant" and also had many parttime public pursuits.
In the 1790s he served successively as a

(October 15, 1782), and Book 141, leaf 35 (May 30, 1783); Salem Tax
Valuations, 1784-85; James Duncan Phillips Library, Peabody Essex
Museum, Salem, Massachusetts.
�town official, major of the militia, and overseer of the repairs of
Fort Pickering.
Several years after receiving his inheritance,
Waldo increased the assessed value of the Federal Street house by
either erecting or extending the rear ell along Lynn Street in
order to open a shop.
In their valuations of 1807-1810, Salem's
tax assessors indicate quite clearly that Waldo's new shop is
located in his house, not adjacent to it.
In 1810-1811, Waldo was
assessed for an additional store, referred to as "a brick store" in
mortgage deeds of 1811, 1813, and 1818.
Presumably this structure
is the present-day One Lynn Street, possibly built by Waldo's
neighbor Nathaniel Chamberlain, a noted Salem bricklayer. 2
After the death of Jonathan Waldo in 1817, his heirs
bequeathed the entire estate, referred to as "a certain messuage
consisting of a dwelling house and the land under and adjoining and
the brick store and all other buildings thereon, bounding southerly
on Federal street seventy-eight feet more or less, easterly on Lynn
Street one hundred and four feet more or less, northerly by land
late of David Bancroft deceased about one hundred thirty-five feet,
westerly partly by land of Ebenezer Shillaber deceased and partly
by land of Nathaniel Chamberlain about one hundred and eighty feet
or however otherwise bounded or reputed to be bounded" to John
Holman of Salem, a mariner, who occupied the house until 1830 and
owned the property until 1832.
In the early 1830s, Holman appears
Essex County Probate File #24175; Salem Tax Valuations,
1799-1813; ECRD Book 199, leaf 173 (April 15, 1811); ECRD Book 200,
leaf 215 (April 5, 1813) ECRD Book 216, leaf 298 (September 19,
2
1818).
�to have removed both himself and his business from Salem to New
York, and consequently he conveyed "a certain messuage consisting
of a wooden dwelling house and Brick House and barn and land under
and adjoining the same .... situated at the corner of Federal Street
and Lynn Street" to the Reverend John Brazer, pastor of the North
Church, in 1832. 3
John Brazer and his large family owned and occupied 124
Federal Street, then designated alternatively 50 or 52 Federal
Street, until the Reverend's death in 1845.
Based on the tax
assessments, there were no changes made to the existing structures
of the estate during this time.
The following year, Brazer's heirs
transferred the property to Thomas Perkins of Salem, a relatively
wealthy shipmaster and merchant. 4
It is during Thomas Perkins' possession of 124 Federal Street
(1846-1876) that the·present-day One Lynn Street, the brick house
adjoined to the wooden rear ell of the dwelling house on Federal
street, is officially listed as a separate structure in the Salem
Tax Valuations.
There is no evidence, however, that the brick
building (with no address) was used as residence but rather as a
warehouse or store for storage and/or display of Perkins'
substantial goods in stock.
The structure was certainly
embellished during this period, as its assessed value increases
considerably, as does that of the main house.
Perkins likely added

�the Greek Revival entrances and bay windows to both structures at
different periods in his thirty-year occupation. 5
The west wing of 124 Federal Street, or 124 1/2 Federal
Street, was built after the Perkins heirs conveyed the property to
Benjamin Shreve in 1876.
Shreve, "importer of French goods,
watches, and jewelry" and founder of Shreve, Crump & Low in Boston,
purchased the Perkins estate as an addition to his many rental
properties in Salem.
The first tenant of 124 1/2 Federal Street,
Samuel Pitman, a currier, appears in the 1878 Salem Directory.
In
that same year, Franklin Tyler, a "morocco dresser" is listed as
living in the house on "Lynn near Federal" and William H. Carter,
an importer of wines in Boston, takes up residence in 124 Federal
Street shortly thereafter. 6
124 and 124 1/2 Federal Street were occupied by a succession
of tenants, both short-term and long-term, during the Shreve
family's ownership (1876-1929).
The main house's occupant of
longest duration was Frederick Broadhead, an insurance broker
(1901-1917), while Frank A. Laws, a professor at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, lived in the addition from 1907 until
1920.
In 1929, the trustees of Benjamin Shreve's estate conveyed
"the property now numbered 124 and 124 1/2 Federal Street and
Number One Lynn Street" to Rebecca Dembofsky of Salem, a mortgage
broker and real estate agent who partitioned the estate and

�promptly sold off its component parts in the following year. 7
The Cooke sisters, purchasers of 124 and 124 1/2 Federal
Street in 1930, lived at the latter address and leased out the main
house.
David Limauro, a physician, lived and practiced at 124
Federal Street in the early forties and this use continued after
Dr. Melvin Goodman and his wife Alyce purchased the property from
Florence and Lilla Cooke in 1945.
The Goodmans owned, occupied,
and practiced in 124 and 124 1/2 Federal Street for nearly fifty
years, after which its present owners purchased the house from the
executor of Alyce Goodman's estate in 1995. 8
History of the property:
The land on which 124 and 124 1/2 Federal Street and One Lynn
Street were eventually built was part of the original seventeenthcentury land grant of Richard Bishop (d. 1674-75), which was
conveyed successively to his son Thomas and grandson Richard
Bishop.
Robert Kitchen purchased the Bishop property in the early
1690s, and quickly turned it over to Joseph Neal, one of the
largest landowners in the neighborhood.
Neal possessed the
property, which adjoined his "mansion house" on the main street
(Essex Street) for several years, after which it was transferred to

�the Ropes Family. 9
The Ropes brothers, John Jr. and Samuel, built and possessed
half-interests in a house and outlying buildings on their property,
all of which was conveyed to Jonathan Ropes in 1754.
After the
laying out of Federal Street (after 1766) and Lynn Street (after
1780), Ropes greatly enlarged the property, probably with the aim
of increasing its access to the North River.
A representative
purchase came in 1782, when Nathaniel Lang of Salem, a silversmith,
conveyed to Jonathan "a certain piece of land adjoining a new road
lately laid out by Benjamin Goodhue junior from the new street in
said Salem so called down to the water side".
Additional parcels
of land (on the western side) were added to the property after the
construction of the new Federal house in 1784 and its additions by
both Ropes and his heir, Jonathan Waldo.
There were few or no
changes made to the property for most of the nineteenth century,
until Benjamin Shreve added the circa 1877 addition to the main
house.
The division of the Ropes/Shreve estate came in 1930, when
124 and 124 1/2 Federal Street became legally separated from One
Lynn Street. 10

Mark r..Jystedt
December, 1992
�The house at 126 Federal Street was built by Nathaniel Chamberlain,
bricklayer, in 1782. The property had belonged to the Ropes estate on
Essex Street when the laying in of Federal Street seperated this parcel
from the main part of the estate. Benjamin Ropes sold this back parcel
of land to Nathaniel Chamberlain in April of 1782 for 99Ll2s (see,
Edward Stanley Waters, Some Old Estates, Essex Institute Historical
Collection, Vol. XVI, 1879, pg47; and ECRD bkl41 pg35) The deed which
conveyed the adjacent property, at the corner of Lynn Street, from
Jonathan Waldo to Jacob Ashton and Samuel Putnam (ECRD bkl91 pg292),
confirms this, as that property bordered Nathaniel Chamberlain's
property.
Deeds and wills conveying the property from Nathaniel Chamberlain to
the present owners are as follows:

135 Federal Street
The Captain Benjamin Carpenter House
built in 1802
Historic Salem, Inc.
January 2000
Research by
Donna Vinson
�135 Federal Street
The Captain Benjamin Carpenter House
built in 1802
History of the property:
The house which now bears the address 135 Federal Street was erected
by Captain Benjamin Carpenter, Revolutionary War veteran, Salem sea
captain and merchant, and namesake of the present,day Carpenter Street,
shortly after he purchased a lot bounded by the relatively "new" Federal
Street in late 1801. 1 Captain Carpenter apparently commissioned Salem's
renown architect and woodcarver Samuel Mcintire to design the house, as
an extant plan of the first floor exhibits the legend: "Sketch of ye plan of
Capt. Carpenter's House." 2 Fiske Kimball confirms this commission in his
authoritative survey of Mclntire's work and comments further that as the
house was "much modified" in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,
"little survives" of Mclntire's work. 3 The Captain Benjamin Carpenter
house has a connection to another illustrious Salem family: in the later part
of the nineteenth century it was part of an expansive "Bertram Estate",
which included the present,day Salem Public Library and Assembly House,
owned by the Bertram family.
Before he built his new Federal Street house, Captain Carpenter lived

Fiske Kimball, Mr. Samuel Mcintire, Carver. The Architect of Salem (Portland, ME),
�on Essex Street and owned several parcels of property in the adjacent area.
He purchased part of the future "Bertram Estate" lot from Daniel Mackey in
1796, and conveyed the same to the Widow Fisk in 1800. 4 This parcel was
part of a much larger lot that belonged to the Ruck family for much of the
eighteenth century and the Spooner family in the seventeenth century.
Captain Carpenter's fortunes appear to have fluctuated both dramatically
and routinely if his many property transactions are any indication; a year
after he sold his large Essex Street/Federal Street lot he bought back the
northern, or Federal Street parcel and began construction on his new house.
Carpenter lived in his "homestead" for only eight years, perhaps
another indication of plummeting fortunes. In 1809 he conveyed his Federal
Street property, "with the dwelling house and all other buildings thereon
standing" to Richard Wheatland, another Salem merchant. 5 Wheatland
owned and occupied the property for nearly two decades, until his debts, and
the Court of Common Pleas in Newburyport, forced him to auction off the
property in 1828. 6 The buyer was Michael Shepard, another Salem
merchant who maintained offices on Central Wharf. Shepard's income was
apparently more stable than that of his predecessors at 135 Federal Street (or
61 Federal Street, the property's address until 1860), as his family owned and
occupied the estate for over fifty years, during which both the house and the
land were extended substantially.
Neither tax or property records indicate precisely when 135 Federal
Street was enlarged and its exterior remodeled with Italian Revival elements,
but it was certainly after 1847 and probably around 1860. Shepard began
expanding his property soon after the acquisition of his new house with the
purchase of adjacent land from the Buffington Estate, which extended from
Essex to Federal Streets on his western boundary. 7 In 1847 he expanded his

�lot further with the acquisition of another adjacent Federal street property
"bounded northerly on the street forty,six feet, more or less, [and] easterly
on land of Shepard one hundred twenty feet more or less." 8 Later in that
same year he procured an additional adjacent estate, bounded "westerly on
land of Shepard, and northerly by Federal Street." 9 There was now
considerable room for expansion and outbuildings. The fences separating
the Shepard and Bertram estates on the former' s southern boundary were
realigned in 1859, conveying Michael Shepard an additional fifteen feet of
property. 10 Tax assessments on the Shepard property increase noticeably
after 1860, indicating both the increased size of buildings and lot.
The Shepard family conveyed 135 Federal Street to their neighbors,
the Bertrams, in 1880, though the latter never occupied the house. At that
time the Bertrams still lived in their adjacent homestead on Essex Street,
now the Salem Public Library, and they owned several other properties in the
immediate neighborhood and on Chestnut Street. Captain Carpenter's
house was leased to the Robson family, headed by Matthew Robson, a
prominent Salem tanner and currier. 11 The house is commonly regarded as
the "Robson House" in the closing decades of the nineteenth century, even
though the family did not take legal possession of the property until 1910.
According to Henry Oliver's 1885 reminiscences of Federal Street, "the
three,story large and convenient house [is] now occupied by Mr. Matthew
Robson (currier) and family. It is no. 135. I do not learn the date of its
erection. In general shape it is square with an addition on the westerly side
of one story for a dining room. On this westerly side is also an ample fruit
orchard." 12

�The Bertram heirs conveyed 135 Federal Street in its present form to
Fidelia E. Robson, the wife of Matthew Robson, in 1910. 13 The plans
accompanying the partition of the Bertram estate at this time established and
illustrate the present-day property. 14 Members of the Robson family now
owned, and continued to occupy, the house well into the twentieth century
and brought about interior modifications which Fiske Kimball refers to as "in
the direction of restoration." 15 John C. Robson, Treasurer of the William G.
Webber Company, was primary householder until the late 1930s, after which
Alice Robson, President of the Salem Seamen's Orphan and Children's
Friend Society, resided in the house until her death in 1953. 16 Richard
Connelly, a Salem physician, took up residence in 1955, and the Connelly
family purchased the Captain Benjamin Carpenter House at public auction
in 1968. 17 Its present (2000) owners, Richard A. Stevens and Victoria H.M.
Stevens, came into possession of the property in 1996. 18

Federal Street as lying between the letters "BCDJ" and occupying 19,030 square feet.

lections brought together there; of his great.systematic
work upon the Birds and Mammals of North America,
and of the volumes which contain the results of his researches. We know, too, when the labors of administration became so vast that he could no longer give his time
to personal research, how he placed with generous hand
the means he bad accumulated at the disposal of others,
and of the impetus he gave to the study of natural history
by providing for workers not only.the material for reeearch,
but salaried positions that they might continue their studies. He thus fostered research in the broadest manner, and
brought up a set of workers in Washington, which has resulted in making it the great centre of science in our country, where to-day, nearly five hundred men are professionally engaged in scientific work hi all departments, and·
many of these departments were actually created by the
foresight and labors of this hard-working, self-sacrificing
man. '\Ve know also of his founding the United States Fish
Commission, and the truly wonderful results it has attained,
not only in a scientific way, but in adding immense wealth
to the country by fornishing food for the people, restoring
fish to exhausted streams and portions of the coast, and introducing species that have become important in our supply
of food on both sides of the continent. Had this one work
of Professor Baird been his only and life-long effort, he
would ever be remembered as a great benefactor, but while
this work will ever stand out in prominence, from the great
economic results achieved, it is only one of the many farreaching results which we owe to him.
Surely, .Mr. President, we have lost from our little roll
of Honorary .Members, two men, whose equals in their respective lines of research and influence we cannot hope to
see in our time.

REv. EoWAB.D SUMNER ATWOOD, minister of the South
church, Salem, died at the parsonage on Federal street on
Sunday mori1ing May 13, 1888.
His death was very
sudden and unexpected to the community, though his fail- ·
ing health for the past year indicated that his life would
thus terminate.
Mr. Atwood was the son of George B. and Eliza(Snmner) Atwood and was born at Taunton, Mass., June 4,.
1833, graduated at Brown University, 1852, at Andover
Theological Seminary in 1856 ; in 1883 his alma mater conferred upc:m him the honorary degree of. D.D. ;._ordained
pastor of the church in Grantvi!le-; Wellesley Hilla, Oct.
23, 1856, where he continued until 1864. On the 13th of .
October, 1864, he was installed over the South church as
colleague pastor with the late Rev. Dr. Brown Emerson,
succeeding in that capacity Rev. I. E. Dwinell now of
Oakland, Cal. Since Dr. Emerson's death, July 25, 1872,
he had been the sole pastor.
.As a pulpit orator, Dr. Atwood had few equals: a terse,
forcible and effective speaker.
Gifted with a wonderful
command of language, and keeping abreast with all the
progressive knowledge of the day, he clothed his thoughts
with striking b~auty and wealth of felicitous illustrations,
and was equally ready on all occasions. As a citizen, he
was foremost in every good word and work and especially
in the cause of education and advanced culture. As a member of the prudential committee of the .A.. B. C. F. M.,
he was ve1·y devoted, and wherever his services were .
needed he was ever ready, willing and energetic.
Soon after corning to this city he connected himself with
several of our local scientitic, literary and educational institutions. He was elected a member of the school board
and half of the years of his resiuence here he contributed
by his labors to its educational interests. In this work

he was prominent in the advoeaoy of ·the best edueatiqn,..
the freest education based upon publie duty and the pub~
lie good.
He was also enrolled as a member of the Essex Institutej ·
and from that time to the close of his life he 'manifested a
deep interest in it8 prosperity; he believed in its objects,
he recognized the good it had done and its powers for. accom plishing greater good in the; future, and t.o this end he
gave freely of his time and versatile talents. The records
of the Institute bear abundant testimony to the value of his
membership. From time to time he favored the fnstitute
with addresses and lectures. Among the interesting contributions on these occasions was a learned paper" On the beginnings and growth of· language." It is noteworthy that
his first address was upon the Bible. He profoundly be'lieved in the Bible, had no fear of true science, believing
that all truth was of God. He recognized no antagonism
between true science and true religion. This was ata field
meeting held in Essex on Wednesday, July 1, 1868, an old
Genevan Bible having been exhibited at the afternoon session, by Hon. David Choate. When called upon by the
chair, he took for his theme this old volume,• giving some
interesting facts respecting the history of the different editions and spoke of the clea1· and exquisite printing which
these books reveal,many of them not being surpassed by the
best printing of the present day. This edition was printed
at Geneva for the use of the English exiles who took refuge
there.
Soon after the death of .Prof. Louis Agassiz, Dr. Atwood paid a beautiful tribute to the character and achievments of that distinguished scientist at a meeting held on
Monday, Dec. 15, 1873. He was a member of the com-See Proceed,. Essex Institute, VOL. TI, p. 81.

fare for regular passage to the United States, to book passage on
Canadian lumber ships which would otherwise return home empty.
Once in Canada the Irish would save their money and work their way
down the coast into the United States.

foundation of his subsequent fortune.
His speciality was light

as by deeds of Stearns 101 to William H. Culliton.
"The same inherited

�The yea:r 1925 brought sadness to the 145 Federal St. household, for
on May 8th Dr. Helen E. Ronan died:
Salem News - May 10, 1925
"Dr. Helen E. Ronan, one of the best known of the younger dentist
of this city, passed away Saturday after an illness of only a few
days duration.
She was a native of this city.
After completing her
High School course in three yea:rs, she entered Tufts Dental School,
from which she graduated with honor and distinction in 1919.
Her great zeal and enthusiasm for her work, and her ma:rked ability
and skill in executing the same, soon attracted the attention of the
college authorities who upon her graduation, made her a member of
the faculty.
She hel• this position for a few yea:rs and until the·
practice established by her sister, Dr. Catherine F., became so
large as to require her attention.
Thereupon, she associated with
her sister and the two have since been actively engaged in the practice
of their profession.
Endowed with a bright and happy disposition, Dr. Helen Ronan always
had a kind and pleasant word for everyone with whom she came in
contact.
She was a great favorite with the children, especially
those who were numbered among her patients.

She was in her usual good health and spirits and
about her duties as late as last Thursday.
Her demise was entirely

�Just two years later another death stunned
the family.

shocked to learn that he passed away at his home 145 Federal St.,

He
was about his duties until Thursday when he complained of a slight
indisposition.
He was apparently recovering when a heart condition
developed which culminated in his death.
Mr. Ronan was born in Salem, but moved as a child with his parents
to Peabody.
He was educated in the public schools of that city,
graduated from Peabody High in 1912.
He continued his studies
at the Boston University law school, received his degree from that
institution in 1915.
He began the practice of his profession in
Salem, but his duties were interrupted by his enlistment in the
navy in 1918.
After serving most creditably under Lt. Comm. David Little,
until the armistice was signed, then returned to his office and
resumed his law practice.
He had a particular aptitude for probate and real estate law and
devested himself almost exclusively to the practice of those two
branches.
At the time of his death he was conveyancer for the
Roger Conant Co-op Bank.
Attorney Ronan was a man of reticence and unassuming disposition
but his earnestness and integrity and sympathetic understanding
endeared him to all who knew him.
He was a member of the Essex
Bar Assc. and the American Legion.

Mr. Ronan devoted his life chiefly, in the interest of his family

lingering illness with patience.

owned by Susan Ingersoll
Susan Ingersoll died in July 1858. In her will written in 1835,
Miss Ingersoll leaves all h~r property to Horace L. Conolly,
rector of St. Matthews Church in Boston. (Probate #43338)
Mr. Conolly is described in the book "Rebellious Puritan" by Lloyd
Morris, about the life of Hawthorne: . ·.
"With her (Susan Ingersoll) lived a young man named Horace Conolly
who was understood to be her nephew, and who ultimately became her
heir and aqopted her.name. Conolly's parentage was unknown to
Salem, and various rumors were in circulation concerning his
relationship to Miss Ingersoll. When Nathaniel first met him,
Conolly was rector of St. Matthew's in South Boston; later he
resigned from the ministry and turned to the practice of law, gave
up the law for medicine and discarded that in turn. He was eccentric,
ill-tempered and vain; but he was also intelligent and witty. He
was fond of card~ and of liquor; these tastes Nathaniel shared, and
he frequented the evening parties which Conolly held in the kitchen
of the old Turner Street house."
�4 English Street
English Street, which was originally called English's lane, was
laid out by Philip English over land belonging 'to him and others,
about 1697. The lot on which this house stands was part of the
land owned by John Swasey as early as 1658. Mr. Swasey's lot
seems to include the land from the corner of Essex St. down to
what is now #14 English St. Somewhere on this lot Mr. Swa.sey
built a dwelling house before 1681. He conveyed the house and
lot to his son John Swasey in 1689. This house was gone before
1763 when John's heirs sold the land to John Touzell, goldsmith.
During the early 1800's the Ingersolls were taxed for !and only,
on English. St.
The first mention of a house on Ingersoll's property is in the 1831
tax records when Susan Ingersoll, daughter of Samuel and Susanna
(Hathorne) Ingersoll is taxed for the following:
part of a wharf and part of a store ~400
house ~;l, 200
hous$ and land $1,600
.
3 houses and 4 acres $2,000
house ~600
house and land Sl,000
The tax records before this time list Miss Ingersoll as the owner
of land on Webb and English Streets, and a house, sto:t?e and land
on Turner St. (now the House of Seven Gables)
It was this same Miss Ingersoll, who provided Nathaniel Hawthorne,
Salem's literary genius, with much useful information about Salem
in the Puritan times. Hawthorne called her the Duchess and
frequently visited her at her home on Turner St.
In the list of owners and occupants in Salem 1837 is the following:
Sur:;an In~ersoll - house and land with 2 other houses on it
occupants: Joseph Gilman and William Harding
Daniel Rindge
- house on Susan Indersoll's land
Judah Dodge
- house on Susan Ingersoll's land
(these last two houses appear about the same time as the house #d
English)

1838.:.. West side of English St.:

:F1 o::c many years this house was numbered as #1 English St.
For some
unknown reason this street was not numbered with the odd numbers on
one side arid even nwnbers on the other. Starting with this hou~e
the houses were numbered 1,2,3,4,5, etc. all on the same side. The
tenants, listed in the 1842 directory living at #1 are:

Frank Malinowski died Nov. 13, 1911. In his obituary the life
story of this man is.given:
Francis Malinowski a well known resident of this city of the
past 29 years, died at his home at 4 English St. yesterday after
an illness of about 9 years, during which period he h~d been a
great sufferer from rheumatism.
Mr. Malinowski had the distinction of being the second Polander
to come to Salem to.live. The first native of that country to
take up his residence in the City of Peace was Joseph Brown,
p~oprietor of the flying horse& carousel at the Willows.
Mr. Malinowski was born in Austria, Poland 66 years ago next
month. He served while a young man in the Austrian Army rising
to the rank of lieutenant and acting as drill master for several
years. He was a veteran of the Austrian - German War where he
rendered distinctive service.
About 31 years ago he came to this country with his newly
wedded wife and settled for a short time in Webster; Mass. At the
·instigation of his fellow countryman, Mr. Brown, he came to Salem
some 29 years ago settling at Juniper and engaging w~th Mr. Brown
in the making of these carousels he worked for various concerns at
his regular trade. He also conducted for many years flying horse
attractions at various summer resorts.
A few years ago he sold his house at Juniper and moved up into
the city, where he resided on English St. He was a member of the
Orientral lodge A.O.U.W. and was in fact, on of the oldest in point
of membership in that order. He was also a member of the parish
of the Imrnaculate Conception Church. He leaves a widow, Eleanqr
(Smreczynski) to whom he was married 8ome 33 years, and four daughters
Mrs. Helena V. Twarogowski (the court interpretor), Misses Vanda M,
Amelia A. and Frances N. Malinowski. Three of the daughters are
well known as teachers in the eveening schools of Salem and Peabody.
He was a most excellent citizen and a credit to his native country,
and he leaves a large circle of friends to regret his departure.
The funeral will be held Tues. at 9 am. at the Immaculate Conception.
At 8:30 there will be services at the house.

1979 Demetrios and Patricia Sarantis sold the land and building
at 4 English St. to Kathy Keenan and Gary Palardy.
�Note:
An air of mystery still hangs over this house. From inspections
made by Sally Dee and myself, we feel that the foundation indicates
that this house must have been moved to this site· and that the
construction is of an older dat.e. If indeed this is· the case
we also feel that it was moved from within ·the general area of
English St., stemming from the fact that the construction is
similar to other houses on that street.
It is possible that in the .future other documents may be found
_that shed mor~ light on thi~ property. Until ~u6h time I recommend
that the sign read: moved to this site by. 1831.
Respectfully,
I

DESCRIPTION
The same premises as described above
The old dwelling house was probably taken down shortly after
1798 as it is not mentioned again after that date.
Martha Rice, the widow of Edward, had her small dwelling house
built on the site sometime after the June 1798 sale. The exact
date can not be determined at this time.
Since she was a poor
widow, her tax must have been abated as her name does not
appear on the tax list.
Rev. William Bentley mentions this house in his diary on
December 24, 1816.
"Martha Rice, pr. sick. Some internal cause of exq. pain.
She is·a daughter of Mr. Hilliard of the Old Rope Walk which
ran between Becket & English streets & he had a house in
English' street upon the site of which this d(aughter) has a

She has two children, a son and D. but not
able to afford her any assistance."

for the youngest daughter Sarah and Charlie Buxton. For Dominick,
however, the path of courtship was not so easy. Except for brief intervals, he was away at sea, but the most formidable obstacle to
his intentions must have been Mrs. Webb. She was firm in her opposition to any match between her daughter and the young Italian
she had taken to board in her house. Dominick was a foreigner and
' a "papist" which made him in her Yankee eyes less than desirable as
a son-in-law.
On June 27, 1853 Dominick, by now a first mate, returned from
his first voyage on the Sea Mew, and events moved swiftly, Mrs.
Webb's objections to the contrary. Scarcely two weeks passed before
this notice appeared in the July 12 edition of the Salem Gazette:
-yankee Relations
AND NOW WE MUST TURN from the sea to the land, and go back a
few years in time. The town directory of Salem for i8:;3 contained
two entries pertinent to our story:
Webb, Mrs. Harriet, house 9 English St.
Marsins, Dominick L., mariner, boards 9 English St.
During the period of his voyages on the Messenger and the Sea
Mew, Dominick had forsaken the Seamen's Boarding House of
Ebenezer Griffin for the pleasanter surroundings of a private home.
It was the prelude to another important change in his life. His
landlady, who was the widow of a sea captain, William Webb 3d,
had been forced since her husband's death to take boarders at the
tidy gambrel-roofed house on English Street. In addition to her
husband, Mrs. Webb had already buried three children, but the
household still included two healthy and pretty daughters, Sarah
and Martha, and a son, William 4th.
It will be recalled that Dominick Marsins already knew Martha
Webb before he moved to English Street, and it was partly for her
sake that he had anglicized his name in 1851. Their courtship must
have been a long one, even by Victorian standards. (One of Martha's
descendants remembers her grandmother's saying that she told
Domenico Lagomarsino she would never -marry a man with a
foreign name.)
Another boarder at Mrs. Webb's was Charlie Buxton. A good
deal of pleasant courting must have gone on between the two young
men and the pretty Webb sisters; many strolls beneath the elm
trees of Salem's streets and Common. Wedding bells soon rang out
Adopted Son of Salem

MARRIAGES,

~-.I.:
:
The bride, born in Salem April 4, 1831, was twenty-two. The
groom wa~ twenty-six. Mrs. Webb's feelings may have been soothed
somewhat ;ince the Reverend Mr. Michael Carlton, who performed
the marriage ceremony, was no priest but the minister of the Seaman's Bethel. Perhaps Dominick was no longer a Catholic.
The young people had over two months together before Dominick
<··' embarked again on the Sea Mew at the end of September. Very
shortly, or perhaps, since the bride's mother felt as she did, immediately after their marriage, the young Marsins moved to lodgings of their own. Dominick was not the person to live in the
house with a mother-in-law, even a congenial one, and Martha had
- a mind of her own, too!
On December 9, 1855, while he was absent on the Sea Mew to
Africa, their first child, Harriet Evelyn, was born. Had Mrs. Webb
been won over by her Italian son-in-law? Or was the baby's name,
for her, the grateful and loving extension of an olive branch to a
inother who surely "rallied around" when her young daughter was
undergoing her first childbirth alone, with her husband far away?
· Husband and father, Dominick Marsins was now very definitely
no longer alone, for he was also son-in-law to two prolific Massachusetts families. From the time that he married Martha Webb,

the story of the Webb family of Salem and the Browns of Ipswich
became entwined with his: Mrs. William Webb 3d had been Harriet
Evelyn Brown of Ipswich.
The Browns had lived in Essex County since 1635 when John
of that name arriVed from England to become "the earliest settler
in the Candlewood region of Ipswich to clear the forest and build
his house." This first Brown house was "a dwelling containing
only two rooms and the chamber above." Later, John built a larger,
more commodious home which remained in the family through
1909, when Alvin Story Brown was the last of the name to live
there. It is still standing, a fine looking red farmhouse, with numerous stout barns and outbuildings.
There were four generations of Browns between our Harriet and
the first John, all metie'Ulously accounted for in the Ipswich historical records, as his numerous descendants married Ipswich girls
and populated the countryside indiscriminately with Browns and
Brownes, as the fancy took the individual speller. (Those who today
add that final e and feel superior to plain Browns, have only to look
into the e~ily records to be taken down a peg.) They were hardy
farmers and weavers and mariners, for since Ipswich was long a
port, many of the Brown men went to sea.
One of these was Stephen Brown 3d, father of Dominick's sometime landlady and mother-in-law. Ipswich produced a number of
eiptain Stephen Browns (th~e were four between 1810 and 1825
alone), but Ipswich port records, like Boston's, have disappeared,
so no positive identification of Harriet's father's commands can be
made. Although Captain Stephen 3d roamed the seas in unidentified vessels, we can pin-point his activities on shore, for he married
a townswoman, Elizabeth Potter, bought his wife's family homestead on the Old Bay Road for his own, and there sired twelve small
Browns. That many children must have kept their hands very
close to their sides, for the old Potter· homestead is described in
Ipswich records as "a small house." It stood until around 196o, when
"progress", i.e. widening the highway that was once the Old Bay
Road, necessitated the destruction of the last of the historic old
houses on that side.
On May 27, 1798, at the Old South Church in Ipswich, baby
Harriet was baptized and duly started on the right path. And she
must have continued on it, minding her manners and being kind to
old people, for in 1822, when she was twenty-four, she was named
beneficiary in the will of David Brown, her father's first cousin,
who died childless at the age of eighty-seven, leaving most of his
estate to the town, but to Harriet "the rooms in the dwelling which
were bequeathed to him by his father." (This plan of leaving different rooms in a house to different people was an established
custom; William Webb's grandmother had been left "the East
end of her father's house" on English Street in Salem. A foreshadowing of condominiums!)
32
33
Harriet's rooms could not, however, keep her in Ipswich. Two
years later she forsook her birthplace, and skipped off with a
young Salem sailor at least two years her junior. On March 25,
1824, Mr. William Williams, pastor of the Presbyterian Society in
Salem, united in marriage Harriet Brown, who gave her age as
twenty-five, to Mr. William Webb 3d, age twenty- three. The young
couple went to live on Daniel Street in that busy little seaport.
'While Salem was then a picturesque elm-embowered town, it was
also a world port of importance, whose bustling waterfront is unrecognizable in its present deserted condition. There were foreign
ports in those years in which the natives had only believed the map
of Ame:-ica to consist of. a vast commercial metropolis called Salem.
Bearded sailors from distant lands moved about noisy Derby Wharf,
hung around the handsome customhouse. This customhouse still
stands proudly there, a museum now. It is the same building where
for a space Nathaniel Hawthorne, as inspector for the port, chewed
his pen and was miserable.
In this busy seafaring town, the name Webb was an old one. A
·common ending to any news item about a couple of another name
was "she a Webb." William Webbs had grown on every bush from
the town's early days, when on July 22, 1675, "att a towne meeting
. William Web Is Admitted an Inhabitant Into ye towne." There
was a William Webb, contemporary with ours, and also a sea captain, who was so determined to hand on the whole name that he
named three poor little babies in succession "William" until at last
one of them lived, to grow up and name a son of his "William!"

There was even another contemporary captain William Webb, who
had daughters Elizabeth, Harriet, and Martha, as did ours. They
seem to have rung the changes on the same old names, over and
over, and very few people were given middle names, which would
have aided a researcher in positive identification.
But a number of facts have been clearly established. The William
Webb 3d who was to be Dominick Marsins's father-in-law, was
born in 1"801, the son of William Webb, Jr., ropemaker. The family
was living on Bridge Street when consumption carried off the
father, William Jr., at the age of fifty. Since Mrs. Webb had also
died within the past two years, probably of the same disease for
it was the great killer of that time, William 3d at seventeen faced
life as an orphan. He took the path followed by so many young
men of those days in like circumstances: he went to sea.
Eight years and many unknown voyages later, on his maternal
grandmother's death, he was named one of the seven grandchildren
who were her heirs; the intermediate generation had been completely wiped out. This grandmother had been born Martha Hilliard, daughter of Mary and David Hilliard, owners of one of
Salem's very early historic houses (called "the Thomas and Mary
Mascall h0use") at 9 English Street. Martha had inherited "the lot,
barn, and East end of the house" from her father. She bought the
West end also, tore the whole thing down, and built the two-story
gambrel-roofed house that stands there now. (Although interesting
from an historic viewpoint, it was probably by that time decrepit
enough for such a fate.) This new house was the part of the inheritance that fell to William Webb 3d. Martha, Dominick Marsins's future wife, was just a year old in 189 when her father moved
his family into their new home on English Street.
William 3d had been a master mariner, but as the marine news
gives in sailing notices only the family name of the master - very,
very rarely a Christian name, since every third Salem captain at
this time was a Webb, and every third Captain Webb was a William,
it seems an impossibility to identify the vessel· or vessels he commanded. There could not have been many of them for this young
master mariner: at thirty-five he was dead. Here is a notice in the
Sal.em Gazette. April 1, 1836:
35
DEATHS. On Wednesday, March 30, Captain William Webb, 3d, age
35. Funeral this afternoon. at 3 o'clock, from house No. 9 English Street.
Friends and relatives are invited to attend.
The week after William's death, on April 7, 1836, the following
paragraph appeared in the Salem Gazette:
~;./
«"'
Notice is hereby given that the subscriber has been duly appointed
administrator of the estate of William Webb 3d, late of Salem, in the
county of Essex, cordwainer, deceased, and has taken upon himself that
trust by giving bonds as the law directs. All persons having demands
upon the estate of said deceased, are requested to exhibit the same; and
all persons indebted to said estate are called upon to make payment to
Thos. Needham, admr.
Our sea captain, entitled such in his death notice on April first,
on April seventh is called in a legal document "cordwainer"! In
other words, a shoemaker! What happened to turn this young man,
only thirty-five when he died, from the active, blustery life of a
ship master whose word was law, to a shoemaker, crouching over
his work in a shop on some Salem side street? Had the exposure
tc· which a mariner is subjected undermined his health, and brought
on the common scourge of consumption, of which his daughters
and son were to die in the same house within a few years? Perhaps,
incapacitated for his more robust calling, the now frail father had
. worked doggedly at· a quiet trade up until the last to provide for
his family.
When Captain William Webb 3d died in 1836 at the age of
thirty-five, he left besides his wife Harriet, four little daughters:
Elizabeth, twelve; Harriet Evelyn, ten; Mary, seven; Martha, five,
and a son William, three. Mrs. Webb was also six months pregnant
with Sarah.
In October, 1838, all the legal red tape connected with William's
death seems to have been concluded, and Thomas Needham, ad. m.inistrator of the estate, made over the deeds for "a small dwelling
. house, etc., in English Street" to Mrs. Harriet Webb.
English Street, formerly called English's Lane, is one of the short,
narrow little streets that lead from Essex, Salem's most important

thoroughfare, down to Derby Street and the waterfront. It was
lined with the houses of mariners; not the imposing brick homes of
wealthy merchants and captains such as are on the Chestnut street
end of town; but modest, charming little two-and-a-half story,
gambrel-roofed or salt-box frame houses of early New England
architecture,. presenting a gable end to the street, and facing their
bit of a flower garden. The House of the Seven Gables was a near
neighbor, only three blocks away on such another little side street.
Even when the Webbs lived in Salem, the Seven Gables was an old
house, for John Turner built it in 1668. Hawthorne's novel about
it was to be published in 1851, two years before Dominick Marsins
came to board around the corner on English Street. The Webbs
must have read a novel about a house in their neighborhood with
a good deal of excitement.
Some time between 1869 and 1872 the house numbers were
changed. Number 9 English Street became number 30, which it is
today. Harriet Brown Webb was not a Bitter, such as her daughter
Martha Marsins proved to be, but a steady occupant of number 9
English Str<"ct until her death. (Of course, she owned the house;
Dominick and Martha were always renters.) Here, with her children
dying around her, Harriet, now head of the family, battled bravely
on to care for the ones that were left. She faced no small task in supporting herself and six children. The Salem directories of 1846 and
1850 give a clue as to how the little family managed to get along:
"Webb, Mrs. Harriet, nurse_. 9 English Street." In those years, there
were no regulations about training and licensing of nurses; any
neighbor woman with two willing hands and feet could offer herself in that capacity. Mrs. Webb also took boarders, one of whom
was Dominick Marsins.
Consumptive William Webb had left a legacy of death to his
young family on English Street. In 1841, Elizabeth Webb at seventeen, Harriet at twenty in 1847, and Mary at twenty-three in 1852,
all died of consumption. Mary, married fo Stephen Curtis, left a
little son, Stephen Jr., not quite three years old. In 1853, three months
after Dominick came there to live, there was a fifth death: the only
Webb boy, William IV, twenty and unmarried, whose room and
double bed Dominick without doubt shared, coughed his young
YANKEE RELATIONS
37
life away. He had taken up his father's tools as a cordwainer, and
the leather dust had helped him leave this world.
Ground 3, where the Webb interments had taken place, is located in Salem's Greenlawn Cemetery. The graves are placed as
closely together as those in military cemeteries. They are on a lovely
green slope, with no headstones, but at the foot each grave has a
small circle of white stone with its identifying number.
It was a deeply tainted house to which the new boarder came, but
its inmates were unconscious of the fact. It was not until the
twentieth century that the medical world began to understand the
nature of the spread of consumption, and how to arrest it. So many
homes were deathtraps, and once started it often ran through an
entire family. An article in the Salem Gazette of December 15, 1846,
ends with these words: "There is perhaps no disease with which
our country is affected, which sweeps off annually so many victims,
as that fell destroyer of the human race, consumption."

The only definite item that we know of the Marsins family history
during the year 1862 was the death of Mrs. Marsins's mother,
Harriet Brown Webb. In the Salem town clerk's records is the
entry:
born, and was probably not on hand for this arrival either, for at
some time during the year 1864, from the island of Sao Tome,
Portuguese possession off the southwest coast of A&ica, he applied
for a United States passport. As a private citizen living in Africa
he would need this; formerly, as master of an American trading
vessel, a passport seems not to have been necessary.
Either in 1862 or very early in 1863 Mrs. Marsins and the two
children had moved to Swampscott. The Swampscott directories
from 186s, through 1873 all give "Dominic Marsins, shipmaster"
as residing on Burrill Street in that town. Eight years in the same
house: a record for the peripatetic Mrs. Marsins! The Burrill Street
house backed up to the B. and M. Railroad tracks; the little family
left at home were not having an easy time financially.
Mrs. Marsins and the girls were there on Burrill Street, but the
captain was in more exotic surroundings.

Mri:. Webb seems never to have forgiven her daughter Martha
for marrying against her wishes. In her will, she left everything to
her only other living child, Sarah, who with her husband was then
making her home with her mother, and specifically stated that
"nothing is to be given to my daughter Martha W. Marsins nor to
my grandson Stephen Curtis, jr.," the son of her dead daughter
Mary. It was definitdy ill-will on Mrs. Webb's part, for a legacy, no
matter bow small, ~ould have been welcome to Martha at any
time. And young Stephen, left motherless at three, could have used
a legacy from his grandmother too. Fortune must not have smiled
too broadly on him, for his page in Salem annals is almost blank.
After his exclusion from his grandmother's will, there is no further
mention of him except once in 1~ when at the age of twenty he
appears on a crew list of the barque Sachem for Zanzibar as a

seamari.
During December 1863 Dominick was at home; nine months
later, on September 21, 1864, Cecilia Margherita, the Marsins's third
daughter, was born. She was given the entire name of the captain's
long-dead Italian mother. Was he in America when the baby came?
He was in Africa or on the way there when both of the others were

Five Daniels Street
Salem
Built for
Capt. Edward Stanley
ship master
& wife Esther Waters Stanley
c.1805
Copy of print of Friendship, commanded by Capt. Edward Stanley
�House at Five Daniels Street, Salem
By Robert Booth for Historic Salem Inc.
According to available evidence, this house was built for Capt.
Edward Stanley, shipmaster, and his wife Esther Waters Stanley,
circa 1805.
On June 7, 1805, Joseph Waters, Salem merchant, for $800 sold to
Edward Stanley, Salem mariner, "a piece ofland" bounded west 37'
on DanielsStreet,north 85' 6" on landof Silsbeeheirs,east40' 6"
on land of heirs ofPalfray, and 85' on other land (ED 178:159). On
this lot, Captain Stanley caused this house to be built. The identity of
the contractor is unlmown.
Edward Stanley (I 780-1849) was born in England; 1 but details of his
early life are now obscure. By some means, he came to Salem and
was able to rise to the rank of shipmaster-despite great
competition-and win command of merchant vessels. The Salem to
which he came had become a commercial empire, led by Basket
Derby, the merchant who opened trade with the Orient. More than
one hundred tall ships were involved. By the 1790s, the new foreigntrade markets-and the coffee trade, which would be opened in 1798
with Mocha, Arabia-brought great riches to the Salem merchants,
and raised the level of wealth throughout the town: new ships were
bought and built, more crews were formed with more shipmasters,
new shops and stores opened, new partnerships were formed, and
new people moved to town. In 1792 Salem's first bank, the Essex
Bank, had been founded, although it "existed in experiment a long
time before it was incorporated," per Rev. William Bentley. From a
population of792 l in 1790, the town would grow by 1500 persons
in a decade. At the same time, thanks to the economic policies of
Alexander Hamilton, Salem vessels were able to transport foreign
cargoes and serve as the neutral carrying fleet for both Britain and
France, which were at war with each other.
In the late 1790s, there was agitation in Congress to go to war with
France, which was at war with England. After President Adams'
1
That he was born in England is noted at the time of his death in I 849 in Salem Vital Records; there were
other "Stanleys" in Salem, but they were actually Standleys, descendants of a Beverly man of that name;
and occasionally CaptainStanley's name was writtenStandley. For a while, there was an EdwardStandley
in Salem as well as Edward Stanley.
�negotiators were rebuffed by the French leaders in 1797, a quasi-war
with France began in summer, 1798, much to the horror of Salem's
George Crowninshield family (father and five shipmaster sons),
which had an extensive trade with the French, and whose ships and
cargos in French ports were susceptible to seizure. The quasi-war
brought about a political split within the Salem population. Those
who favored war with France (and detente with England) aligned
themselves with the national Federalist party, led by Hamilton and
Salem's Timothy Pickering (the U.S. Secretary of State). These
included most of the merchants, led locally by the Derby family.
Those who favored peace with republican France were the AntiFederalists, who later became aligned with Jefferson and his
Democratic-Republican party; they were led locally by the
Crowninshields. For the first few years of this rivalry, the Federalists
prevailed; but after the death of Hasket "King" Derby in 1799 his
family's power weakened.
In 1799 the Federalists of Salem clubbed together and built a frigate,
the Essex, for the federal government, to be used in the war with
France. The superintendent was Capt. Joseph Waters of Salem. In
that same year, Salem sent out privateers, including the 139-ton
armed brigantine Cicero, 69' in length, with 6 guns and 12 men,
owned hy Billy Gray, commanded by Nathaniel Skinner, first mate
John Dixey, second mate Edward Standley, who may the ES of this
house (EIHC 71:122).
In 1800, Adams negotiated peace with France and fired Pickering for
fomenting war. Salem's Federalists merchants erupted in anger,
expressed through their newspaper, the Salem Gazette. At the same
time, British vessels began to harass American shipping. Salem
owners bought more cannon and shot, and kept pushing their trade to
the farthest ports of the rich East, while also maintaining trade with
the Caribbean and Europe. Salem cargos were exceedingly valuable,
and Salem was a major center for distribution of merchandise
throughout New England: "the streets about the wharves were alive
with teams loaded with goods for all parts of the country. It was a
busy scene with the coming and going of vehicles, some from long
distances, for railroads were then unknown and all transportation
must be carried on in wagons and drays. In the taverns could be seen
teamsters from all quarters sitting around the open fire in the chilly
evenings, discussing the news of the day or making merry over
2
�potations of New England rum, which Salem manufactured in
abundance. "2
The Crowninshields, led by brother Jacob, were especially
successful, as their holdings rose from three vessels in 1800 to
several in 1803. Their bailiwick, the Derby Street district, seemed
almost to be itself imported from some foreign country: in the stores,
parrots chattered and monkeys cavorted, and from the warehouses
wafted the exotic aromas of Sumatran spices and Arabian coffee
beans and Caribbean molasses. From the wharves were carted all
manner of strange fruits, and crates of patterned china in red and
blue, and piles of gorgeous silks and figured cloths, English leather
goods, and hundreds of ban-els of miscellaneous objects drawn from
all of the ports and workshops of the world. The greatest of the
Salem merchants at this time was William "Billy" Gray, who by
1808 owned 36 large vessels-15 ships, 7 barks, 13 brigs, and one
schooner. Salem was then still a town, and a small one by our
standards, with a total population of about 9,500 in 1800.
Its politics were fierce, and polarized everything. The two factions
attended separate churches, held separate parades, and suppmied
separate schools, military companies, and newspapers. Salem's
merchants resided mainly on two streets: Washington (which ended
in a wharf on the Inner Harbor, and, above Essex, had the Town
House in the middle) and Essex (particularly between what are now
Hawthorne Boulevard and North Street). The East Parish (Derby
Street area) was for the seafaring families, shipmasters, sailors, and
fishennen. In the 1790s, Federal Street, known as New Street, had
more empty lots than fine houses. Chestnut Street did not exist: its
site was a meadow. The Common was not yet Washington Square,
and was covered with hillocks, small ponds and swamps, utility
buildings, and the alms-house. As the 19th century advanced,
Salem's commercial prosperity would sweep almost all of the great
downtown houses away (the brick Joshua Ward house, built 1784, is
a notable exception).
The town's merchants were among the wealthiest in the country. In
Samuel McIntire, they had a local architect who could help them
realize their desires for large and beautiful homes in the latest style.
While a few of the many new houses went up in the old EssexWashington Street axis, most were erected on or near Washington
2
from Hurd's History of Essex County, 1888, p.65.
3
�Square or in the Federalist "west end" (Chestnut, Federal, and upper
Essex Streets). The Adamesque architectural style (often mis-labeled
as "Federal") had been developed by the Adam brothers in England
and featured fanlight doorways, palladian windows, elongated
pilasters and columns, and large windows. It was introduced to New
England by Charles Bulfinch in 1790. The State House in Boston
was his first institutional composition; and soon Beacon Hill was
being built up with handsome residences in the Bulfinch manner.
Samuel McIntire ( 1757-1811 ), who was self-educated and who made
his living primarily as a wood-carver and carpenter, was quick to
adapt the Bulfinch style to Salem's larger lots. Mcintire's first local
composition, the Jerathmeel Peirce house ( on Federal Street),
contrasts with his later Adamesque designs. In place of walls of
wood paneling, there now appeared plastered expanses painted in
bright colors or covered in bold wallpapers. The Adam style put a
premium on handsome casings and carvings of central interior
features such door-caps and chimney-pieces (Mcintire's specialty).
On the exterior, the Adam style included elegant fences; and the
houses were often built of brick, with attenuated porticoes and, in the
high style, string courses, swagged panels, and even two-story
pilasters. The best example of the new style was the Elias Basket
Derby house, co-designed by Bulfinch and McIntire, and built on
Essex Street in 1797-8 (demolished in 1815), on the site of today's
Town House Square.
A new bank, the Salem Bank, was formed in 1803, and there were
two insurance companies and several societies and associations. The
fierce politics and commercial rivalries continued. The ferment of
the times is captured in the diary of Rev. William Bentley, bachelor
minister of Salem's East Church and editor of the Register
newspaper. His diary is full of references to the civic and
commercial doings of the town, and to the lives and behaviors of all
classes of society. He had high hopes for the future of a republican
America, with well educated citizens. He observed and fostered the
transition in Salem, and wrote in his diary (2 Dec. 1806), "While
Salem was under the greatest aristocracy in New England, few men
thought, and the few directed the many. Now the aristocracy is gone
and the many govern. It is plain it must require considerable time to
give common knowledge to the people."
Edward Stanley was prospering as a mariner; and by 1802 he was
affluent enough to court Esther Waters, the daughter of a well-to-do
4
�merchant residing in the East parish, or Lower End. On June 12,
1803, Edward Stanley and Esther Waters were married.
Esther Waters (1785-1872)was born 31 July 1785, the daughter of
Joseph Waters, merchant, and his wife Mary. Her grandfather
Benjamin Waters of Boston had moved to Salem as a young man
and in 1745 had married Esther Gilbert oflpswich. They resided
along Bridge Street in the old Massey house, per the minister of the
East Church (Unitarian), Rev. William Bentley, whose meeting
house stood on Essex at Hardy Street in the Lower End. Benjamin
was a baker by trade, and an innholder, and kept the ferry to Beverly
before 1788 (when the bridge was built) at the end of what is now
Bridge Street. This couple had two daughters and one son, Joseph
Waters. Old Mrs. Esther Gilbert Waters was still alive in 1803, when
her namesake married Captain Stanley.
Esther's father, Capt. Joseph Waters, was a merchant ship-owner. He
lived in the Lower End, and attended Bentley's Unitarian church,
and so the family is mentioned in Bentley's diary until the minister's
death in I 8 I 9. Joseph Waters married Mary Dean in 1782, during
the Revolutionary War; and they would have ten children, of whom
Esther was the first, probably born in 1783 and baptized at the East
Church with sister Mary on 31 July 1785.

Gilbert, died February 1833, aged 75 years. Hem. 2 July 1782

On Union Street, not far from Bentley's church, on the fourth of
July, 1804, was born a boy who would grow up to eclipse all sons of
5
�Salem in the eyes of the world: Nathaniel Hawthorne, whose father
would die of fever while on a voyage to the Caribbean in 1808. This
kind of untimely death was all too common among Salem's young
seafarers, who fell prey to malaria and other diseases of the
Caribbean and Pacific tropics.
It was at just this time ( 1806) that the British changed their policy
toward American shipping, and no longer respected Americanflagged vessels as neutral carriers. This disastrous policy change
came just as the Derbys extended their wharf far out into the harbor
to create more space for warehouses and ship-berths in deeper water.
The Crowninshields had recently built their great India Wharf at the
foot of now-Webb Street. The other important wharves were
White's, Forrester's (now Central, just west of Derby Wharf), and
Union Wharf at the foot of Union Street. Farther to the west, smaller
wharves extended into the South River, all the way to the foot of
Washington Street. Each had a warehouse or two, and shops for
artisans (coopers, blockmakers, joiners, etc.). The waterfront
between Union Street and Washington Street also had lumber yards
and several ship chandleries and distilleries, with a Market House at
the foot of Central Street, below the Custom House. The wharves
and streets were crowded with shoppers, gawkers, hawkers, sailors,
artisans ("mechanics"), storekeepers, and teamsters; and just across
the way, on Stage Point along the south bank of the South River,
wooden barks and brigs and ships were being built in the shipyards.
Beginning late in 1806, Salem's commerce with the world was
repeatedly interrupted by the British navy, which intercepted neutral
trading vessels and often impressed American sailors into their
service. France, at war with Britain, countered with its own adverse
policy toward American shipping; and virtually ovemight Salem's
fleet found it much harder to operate freely as neutral shippers for
the European nations. Salem and other American ports continued to
push their trade into the oceans of the worlds, but now with the
expectation that they would have to fight their way across the seas
and into and out of foreign ports.
Within the Waters family, sister Lucia, about sixteen, died at
Beverly in late May, 1804, and she was buried from the home of
Hon. Nathan Dane, whose wife she had probably served as a
mother's helper. Despite the need to observe custom and wait with
the mourners for an hour, Bentley found that "the procession was
numerous and solemn, and a proper respect was shown to the
6
�deceased." In general, he stayed away from Beverly, where, he
observed, "the spirit of (religious) fanaticism has seized this
town"-it was the time of the so-called Second Great Awakeningso that "the extreme ignorance which is general in this place must
render them sure victims of their superstition and render it of the
most degrading character." Salem too felt the impact of itinerant
preachers, mainly evangelicals, who came to town and held
nighttime revival meetings which tended to attract the "primitive and
superstitious" members of the working classes, per Bentley, who
also observed the doings of new sects like the Methodists,
Universalists, and Baptists, all of whom opened meeting houses at
this time. Salem also had three Unitarian congregations, and three
post-Puritan Trinitarian congregations, as well as an Episcopal
church, a Quaker meeting, and informal Catholic gatherings.
In April, 1805, Esther's father, Capt. Joseph Waters, purchased (for
$40 IO) the Dean estate on the north side of Derby Street, corner of
Turner. The house had long been neglected; in 1783, when Bentley
first came to Salem, it had been "the best house as to appearance
which was in that part of the town" (Bentley, 9 April 1805). Captain
Waters restored it to former grandeur.
On 7 July 1805, in church, Rev. Mr. Bentley received a note from
Esther Stanley to commemorate the death of a sister at Ipswich, and
to pray for her husband and brother at sea. At that time, Captain
Stanley was master of the 170-ton brig Commerce, which had
cleared in February, 1805, on a voyage to the West Indies, with first
mate Robert Pease and crew of eight. Edward Stanley returned
safely and next went out in command of the 59-ton schooner Sally,
to the West Indies, in 1806, with mate Joseph Cook and four-man
crew. In May, 1807, he went out again as master of the 136-ton brig
Mary & Allen for St. Thomas, in the Caribbean, with mate Charles
Beck and crew ofsix. 3
Old Mrs. Esther Gilbert Waters died at the age of 88 years on Sept.
13, 1807, probably of the influenza.
Salem's twenty-year boom came to an end with a crash in
December, 1807, when Jefferson and the Congress imposed an
embargo on all shipping in hopes of forestalling war with Britain.
The Embargo, which was widely opposed in New England, proved
3

7
�futile and nearly ruinous in Salem, where commerce ceased. As a
hotbed of Democratic-Republicanism, Salem's East Parish and its
seafarers, led by the Crowninshields, loyally supported the Embargo
until it was lifted in spring, I 809. Shunned by the other Salem
merchants for his support of the Embargo, the eminent Billy Gray
took his large fleet of ships-fully one-fourth of Salem's tonnageand moved to Boston, whose commerce was thereby much
augmented. Gray's removal eliminated a huge amount of Salem
wealth, shipping, import-export cargos, and local employment. Gray
soon switched from the Federalist party, and was elected Lt.
Governor on a ticket with Gov. Elbridge Gerry, a native of
Marblehead.
In March, 1809, Captain Stanley subscribed $10 to repair the East
Parish meeting house, an effort led by Capt. Joseph White. Shortly
after, on March 17, Esther's sister-in-law, Elizabeth Becket Waters,
27, died-a sad story was related by Bentley in his diary. She was
the "daughter ofmy old friend Capt. John Becket. She married a
worthless young man (Benjamin Waters) of whom the world had
good hopes and who had ample mans of being happy. A separation
by the consent of all the friends on both sides ensued and he
withdrew from the town. She lingered in consumption and died. Her
form was excellent, her wit pure and inexhaustible. Her disposition
kind and her temper always at command. All were her friends ... "
Salem's commerce with the world was repeatedly interrupted by the
British, which intercepted neutral trading vessels and often
impressed American sailors into their navy. During this perios,
Edward Stanley was often at sea, on voyages to Cuba, to Brazil, and
to Russia. In June 1809, he commanded the 92-ton schooner Betsey,
bound for Havana with mate Joseph Cook, 35, and six men. John
Gardner, owner of one of the finest mansions in Salem 4, liked
Captain Stanley's work, and sent him back out in February, 1810,
commanding the 281-ton brig New Hazard, bound for Rio de
Janeiro, with mate Jacob Clarke, 25, and a 13-man crew. His next
voyage was undertaken for Peirce & Waite, in command of their fine
342-ton East Indiaman, the Friendship, a veteran of 17 voyages,
some to the Orient. In April, 1811, Captain Stanley, mate David
Thomas, and I 7 crewmen cleared away for the Russian port of
Archangel. She would never retum. 5

�Early in 1812 the Waters family experienced another severe loss.
Capt. Thomas Dean had married Joseph Waters' sister Lydia in
1784, and they had a family of children. On Feb. 2, 1812 "the
worthy Mrs. Lydia Dean" died, leaving two children surviving,
Thomas, 25, and Lydia, 21. Bentley noted that Lydia would
thenceforward reside with her aunt Esther Waters Stanley. Lydia
Dean would marry Capt. James Cheever Jr. in July, 1815, perhaps at
this house. Her brother Thomas Dean named one of his sons
"Edward Stanley" (baptized 1818), as would her cousin Joseph G.
Waters.
Despite many warnings and negotiations, the British refused to alter
their policies regarding freedom of the seas. President Madison,
pushed hard by the war-hawks of the West, had few choices, and in
June, 1812, he and Congress declared against Britain. One
consequence was that Captain Stanley, returning from Archangel
(and probably unaware of the state of war) was captured by the
Royal Navy in September, 1812; and the Friendship was condemned
at Plymouth as a prize of war in December (seep. 21, G.G. Putnam,
set 1, Salem Vessels & Their Voyages).
Although the merchants had tried to prevenl the war, when it came,
Salem swiftly fitted out 40 privateers manned by Marblehead and
Salem crews, who also served on U.S. Navy vessels, including the
frigate Constitution. Many more local vessels could have been sent
against the British, but some of the Federalist merchants held them
back. In addition, Salem fielded companies of infantry and artillery.
Salem and Marblehead privateers were largely successful in making
prizes of British supply vessels. While many of the town's men were
wounded in engagements, and some were killed, the possible riches
of privateering kept the men returning to sea as often as possible.
The first prizes were captured by a 30-ton converted fishing
schooner, the Fame, and by a 14-ton luxury yacht fitted with one
gun, the Jefferson. Of all Salem privateers, the Crowninshields' 350ton ship America was most successful: she captured 30-plus prizes
worth more than $1,100,000.
Salem erected forts and batteries on its Neck, to discourage the
British warships that cruised these waters. On land, the war went
poorly for the United States, as the British captured Washington and
burned the Capitol and the White House. Along the western frontier,
U.S. forces were successful against the weak English forces; and, as
9
�predicted by many, the western expansionists had their day. At sea,
as time wore on, Salem vessels were captured, and its men
imprisoned or killed.
Edward Stanley, though born in England, was a trusted warrior in
the cause against Britain. In 1813 he had raised a company of sea
fencibles, and served as their lieutenant commanding, drilling them
in the use of artillery and close marching (per Bentley). He also
shipped out in privateers, and was captured by the summer of 1813,
at which time his minister, Mr. Bentley, was writing on his behalf to
the Secretary of State, Madison, to effect an exchange; and by
September he was back in town (ibid) and was a co-owner, with
Henry White Jr. and Sam Lamson, of the 6-ton privateer boat
Holkar, only 30' long and 5'6" in beam, carrying 16 men with their
muskets-but they took no prizes (EIHC 79: 155).
After almost three years, the war was bleeding the town dry.
Hundreds of Salem men and boys were in British prison-ships and at
Dartmoor Prison in England. At the Hartford Convention in 1814,
New England Federalist delegates met to consider what they could
do to bring the war to a close and to restore the region's commerce.
Sen. Timothy Pickering of Salem, the leader of the extreme
Federalists, did not attend; and the Convention refrained from
issuing ultimatums. Nevertheless, it signaled the beginning of the
end for the national Federalist party.
At last, in February, 1815, peace was restored. There was jubilation
in the streets; and the East Meeting House was beautifully
illuminated at night, including two transparencies executed by
Captain Stanley and two others: one at the belfry, with a "sun and
Glory to God" and one on the porch, with the "arms of the U.S.
emblazoned Madison & Peace."
Captain Stanley evidently went to Portsmouth, NH, and sailed the
prize ship Antigua back to Salem, to go into service in the fleet of
Nathaniel West. Captain Stanley was given command of the brig
Neva bound for St. Petersburg, with mate Nathaniel Cleaves and a
crew of eleven. Mr. Bentley gave him a packet of antiquarian papers
to deliver to Bentley's great friend, Prof. Ebeling, at Elsinor in
Denmark; and the Neva sailed at the end of May, 1815 (per Bentley).
Captain Stanley was back in Salem a year later and was given
command of the ship Messenger, bound for Europe with a crew of
16 men. They probably traded at multiple ports.
10
�It seems that this was Capt. Edward Stanley's last voyage, and that
he "swallowed the anchor" and went into business as a merchant in
1817.
Post-war, America was flooded with British manufactured goods,
especially factory-made knock-offs of the beautiful Indian textiles
that had been the specialty of Salem importers for 30 years. Britain,
dominant in India, had forced the Indians to become cotton-growers
rather than cloth-producers; and the cheap Indian cotton was shipped
to the English industrial ports and turned into mass-produced cloth.
American national policy-makers reacted, in 1816, by passing a high
tariff on cheap imported textiles, in order to protect and encourage
America's own budding manufacturing capacity. The net result was
to diminish what had been the most abundant and lucrative area of
Salem's pre-war trade. Nevertheless, maritime commerce was
Salem's business, and its merchants rebuilt their fleets and resumed
their worldwide commerce, without a full understanding of how
difficult the new international conditions had become. For a few
years, there efforts were rewarded with reasonable profits, and it
seemed that Salem was once again in the ascendant, with almost 200
vessels sailing to Europe, the Orient, the Caribbean and South
America, and the southern ports.
The pre-war partisan politics of the town were not resumed post-war,
as the middle-class "mechanics" (artisans) became more powerful
and brought about civic hannony, largely through the Salem
Charitable Mechanic Association (founded 1817). Rev. William
Bentley, keen observer and active citizen during Salem's time of
greatest prosperity and fiercest political divisions, died in 1819, the
year in which a new U.S. Custom House was built on the site of the
George Crowninshield mansion, at the head of Derby Wharf. Into
the 1820s foreign trade continued prosperous; and new markets were
opened with Madagascar (1820), which supplied tallow and ivory,
and Zanzibar (1825), whence came coffee, ivory, and gum copal,
used to make varnish. This opened a long-standing trade that Salem
would dominate; and its vessels thus gained access to all of the east
African ports.
Salem's general maritime foreign commerce fell off shaiply in 1824,
as a second major tariff act was passed by Congress, to the benefit of
manufacturers and the detriment of importers. Salem imports were
supplanted by the goods that were now being produced in great
11
�quantities in America. The town's prosperity began to wane, and
many people saw no future locally. The interior of the country was
being opened for settlement, and some Salemites moved away. To
the north, the falls of the Merrimack River powered large new textile
mills (Lowell was founded in 1823); and in general it seemed that
the tide of opportunity was ebbing away from Salem. To stem the
flow of talent from the town and to harness its potential water power
for manufacturing, Salem's merchants and capitalists banded
together in 1825 to raise the money to dam the North River for
industrial power. Over the course of three years, the effort gained
momentum, but ultimately its many investors failed to implement
the plan, which caused several leading citizens to move to Boston,
the hub of investment in the new economy.
In 1830 occurred a horrifying crime that brought disgrace to Salem.
Old Capt. Joseph White, a rich merchant, now retired, resided in a
mansion on Essex Street. His wealth was legendary in Salem, not
least among the denizens of the nearby Salem Jail, where plots had
long been hatched to break in and steal the Captain's putative
treasure chest. One night, intruders did break in; and they stabbed
him to death in his sleep. All of Salem buzzed with rumors; but
within a few months it was discovered that the murderer was a
Crowninshield (he killed himself) who had been hired by his friends,
Capt. White's own relatives, Capt. Joe Knap and his brother Frank
(they would be executed). The murder, and related lurid events,
tarnished Salem further, and more families quit the now-notorious
town.
The Stanleys, Edward and Esther, continued to reside here, growing
older as Salem went into a period of decline. Salem had not prepared
for the industrial age, and had few natural advantages. The North
River served not to power factories but mainly to flush the waste
from the 25 tanneries that had set up along its banks. As the decade
wore on, and the new railroads and canals, all running and flowing
to Boston from points north, west, and south, diverted both capital
and trade away from the coast. Salem's remaining merchants took
their equity out oflocal wharves and warehouses and ships and put it
into the stock of manufacturing and transportation companies. Some
merchants did not make the transition, and were ruined. Old-line
areas of work, like rope-making, sail-making, and ship chandleries,
gradually declined and disappeared. Salem slumped badly, but,
despite all, the voters decided to charter their town as a city in
1836-the third city to be formed in the state, behind Boston and
12
�Lowell. City Hall was built 1837-8 and the city seal was adopted
with an already-anachronistic Latin motto of "to the farthest port of
the rich East"-a far cry from "Go West, young man!" The Panic of
1837, a brief, sharp, nationwide economic depression, caused even
more Salem families to head west in search of fortune and a better
future.
Throughout the 1830s, the leaders of Salem scrambled to re-invent
an economy for their fellow citizens, many of whom were mariners
without much sea-faring to do. Ingenuity, ambition, and hard work
would have to carry the day. One inspiration was the Salem
Laboratory, Salem's first science-based manufacturing enterprise,
founded in 1813 to produce chemicals. At the plant built in 1818 in
North Salem on the North River, the production of almn and blue
vitriol was a specialty; and it proved a very successful business.
Salem's whale-fishery led to the manufacturing of high-quality
candles at Stage Point, along with machine oils. The candles proved
very popular. Lead-manufacturing began in the 1820s, and grew
large after 1830, when Wyman's gristmills on the Forest River, at
the head of Salem Harbor, were retooled for making high-quality
white lead and sheet lead. These enterprises were a start toward
taking Salem in a new direction. In 1838 the Eastern Rail Road,
headquartered in Salem, began operating between Boston and
Salem, which gave the local people a direct route to the region's
largest market. The new railroad tracks ran right over the middle of
the Mill Pond; the tunnel under Washington Street was built in 1839;
and the line was extended to Newburyport in 1840.
In the face of these changes, some members of Salem's waning
merchant class continued to pursue their sea-borne businesses into
the 1840s; but it was an ebb tide, with unfavorable winds. Boston,
transformed into a modern mega-port with efficient railroad and
highway distribution to all markets, had subsumed virtually all
foreign trade other than Salem's continuing commerce with
Zanzibar. The sleepy waterfront at Derby Wharf, with an occasional
arrival from Africa and regular visits from schooners carrying wood
from Nova Scotia, is depicted in 1850 by Hawthorne in his cranky
"introductory section" to The Scarlet Letter, which he began while
working in the Custom House.
Although Hawthorne had no interest in describing it, Salem's
transformation did occur in the 1840s, as more industrial methods
and machines were introduced, and many new companies in new
13
�lines of business arose. The Gothic symbol of Salem's new industrial
economy was the large twin-towered granite train station-the
"stone depot"-smoking and growling with idling locomotives. It
stood on filled-in land at the foot of Washington Street, where the
merchants' wharves had been; and from it the trains carried many
valuable products as well as passengers. The tanning and curing of
leather was very important in Salem by the mid- l 800s. On and near
Boston Street, along the upper North River, there were 41 tanneries
in 1844, and 85 in 1850, employing 550 hands. The leather business
would continue to grow in importance throughout the 1800s. In 1846
the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company completed the construction
at Stage Point of the largest factory building in the United States, 60'
wide by 400' long. It was an immediate success, and hundreds of
people found employment there, many of them living in tenements
built nearby. It too benefited from the Zanzibar and Africa trade, as
it produced light cotton cloth for use in the tropics. Also in the
1840s, a new method was introduced to make possible high-volume
industrial shoe production. In Lynn, the factory system was
perfected, and that city became the nation's leading shoe producer.
Salem had shoe factories too, and attracted shoe workers from
outlying towns and the countryside. Even the population began to
transfonn, as hundreds oflrish families, fleeing the Famine in
Ireland, settled in Salem and gave the industrialists a big pool of
cheap labor.
Capt. Edward Stanley, merchant, died on Jan. 16, 1849, ofan
internal inflammation, aged 68 years (per Salem Vital Records). He
left his wife of 45 years, Esther, 63. She continued to reside here,
and would for many years; and by 1855 (if not before) she had a
servant (and companion) in the person of Mary Gorman, 28, born in
Ireland (see 1855 census, house 265). No doubt she enjoyed the
company of her nephew, Judge Joseph Gilbert Waters, from time to
time.
Mrs. Esther Waters resided here through the 1850s and l 860s.
In 1851, Stephen C. Phillips succeeded in building a railroad line
from Salem to Lowell, which meant that the coal that was landed at
Phillips Wharf (fonnerly the Crowninshields' great India Wharf)
could be run cheaply out to help fuel the boilers of the mills, whose
output of textiles could be sent back to Salem for shipment by water.
This innovation, although not long-lived, boosted Salem as a port
and transportation center. Salem's growth continued through the
1850s, as business and industries expanded, the population swelled,
14
�new churches (e.g. Immaculate Conception, 1857) were started, new
working-class neighborhoods were developed (especially in North
Salem and South Salem, off Boston Street, and along the Mill Pond
behind the Broad Street graveyard), and new schools, factories, and
stores were built. A second, larger, factory building for the
Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company was added in 1859, at Stage
Point, where a new Methodist Church went up, and many neat
homes, boarding-houses, and stores were erected along the streets
between Lafayette and Congress. The tanning business continued to
boom, as better and larger tanneries were built along Boston Street
and Mason Street; and subsidiary industries sprang up as well, most
notably the J.M. Anderson glue-works on the Turnpike (Highland
Avenue).
As it established a productive economy, Salem took a strong interest
in national politics. It was primarily Republican, and strongly antislavery, with its share of outspoken abolitionists, led by Charles
Remond, a passionate speaker who came from one of the city's
notable black families. At its Lyceum (on Church Street) and in
other venues, plays and shows were put on, but cultural lectures and
political speeches were given too.
By 1860, with the election of Abraham Lincoln, it was clear that the
Southern states would secede from the union; and Salem, which had
done so much to win the independence of the nation, was ready to go
to war to force others to remain a part of it.
The Civil War began in April, 1861, and went on for four years,
during which hundreds of Salem men served in the army and navy,
and many were killed or died of disease or abusive treatment while
imprisoned. Hundreds more suffered wounds, or broken health. The
people of Salem contributed greatly to efforts to alleviate the
suffering of the soldiers, sailors, and their families; and there was
great celebration when the war finally ended in the spring of 1865,
just as President Lincoln was assassinated. The four years of
bloodshed and warfare were over; the slaves were free; 800,000 men
were dead; the union was preserved and the South was under maiiial
rule. Salem, with many wounded soldiers and grieving families,
welcomed the coming of peace.
Through the 1860s, Salem pursued manufacturing, especially of
leather and shoes and textiles. The maimgers and capitalists tended
to build their new, grand houses along Lafayette Street (these houses
15
�may still be seen, south of Roslyn Street; many are in the French
Second Empire style, with mansard roofs). A third factory building
for the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company was built in 1865.
In 1870 Salem received its last cargo from Zanzibar, thus ending a
once-important trade. By then, a new Salem & New York freight
steamboat line was in operation. Seven years later, with the arrival of
a vessel from Cayenne, Salem's foreign trade came to an end. After
that, "the merchandise warehouses on the wharves no longer
contained silks from India, tea from China, pepper from Sumatra,
coffee from Arabia, spices from Batavia, gum-copal from Zanzibar,
hides from Africa, and the various other products of far-away
countries. The boys have ceased to watch on the Neck for the
incoming vessels, hoping to earn a reward by being the first to
announce to the expectant merchant the safe return of his looked-for
vessel. The foreign commerce of Salem, once her pride and glory,
has spread its white wings and sailed away forever" (Rev. George
Batchelor in History of Essex County, II: 65).
By the spring of 1872, Mrs. Esther Waters Stanley had died, in her
th
86 year. By her will, she devised her property to four Salem
charities. In April, 1872, the executors of her will conveyed this
house and land to the four charities, which conveyed the same to
Roland Smalley of Salem for $2400 (ED 851:81, 859:288).
The new owner, Roland Smalley, was a long-time neighbor of Mrs.
Stanley. He was born in 1822 and resided in Salem by 1855 he was
working as a stevedore, married to Susan, 33, a native of Rhode
Island, and residing on Daniels Street, in a house (also occupied by
John Archer & family) across from this one (1855 state census,
house 254). In 1872 Mr. Smalley was fifty, and he and Susan had
daughters Evelyn, sixteen, and Susan E., five. Later they would
reside at 7 Daniels Street.
Salem was now so densely built-up that a general conflagration was
always a possibility, as in Boston, when, on Nov. 9, 1872, the
financial and manufacturing district of the city burned up. Salem
continued to prosper in the 1870s, carried forward by the leathermaking business. In 1874 the city was visited by a tornado and
shaken by a minor earthquake. In the following year, the large
Pennsylvania Pier (site of the present coal-fired harborside electrical
generating plant) was completed to begin receiving large shipments
of coal. Beyond it, at Juniper Point, a new owner began subdividing
16
�the old Allen fannlands into a new development called Salem
Willows and Juniper Point. In the U.S. centennial year, 1876, A.G.
Bell of Salem announced that he had discovered a way to transmit
voices over telegraph wires.
In this decade, French-Canadian families began corning to work in
Salem's mills and factories, and more houses and tenements were
built. The better-off workers bought portions of older houses or built
small homes for their families in the outlying sections of the city;
and by 1879 the Naurnkeag Steam Cotton mills would employ 1200
people and produce annually nearly 15 million yards of cloth. Shoemanufacturing businesses expanded in the 1870s, and 40 shoe
factories were employing 600-plus operatives. Tanning, in both
Salem and Peabody, remained a very important industry, and
employed hundreds of breadwinners. On Boston Street in 1879, the
Arnold tannery caught fire and burned down.
In April, 1881, Roland Smalley sold the homestead for $2400 to
Jane A. Hubon, a widow, of Salem (ED I 056:24 7). In July, 1885,
Mrs. Hubon sold the premises to Mary Ann Wiggin (ED 1155: 178).
Mrs. Wiggin was the widow of Abner J. Wiggin (per directory
1893/4).
In the 1880s and 1890s, Salem kept building infrastructure; and new
businesses arose, and established businesses expanded. Retail stores
prospered; horse-drawn trolleys ran every which-way; and
machinists, carpenters, millwrights, and other specialists all thrived.
In 1880, Salem's manufactured goods were valued at about $8.4
million, of which leather accounted for nearly half. In the summer of
1886, the Knights of Labor brought a strike against the
manufacturers for a ten-hour day and other concessions; but the
manufacturers imported labor from Maine and Canada, and kept
going. The strikers held out, and there was violence in the streets,
and even rioting; but the owners prevailed, and many of the defeated
workers lost their jobs and suffered, with their families, through a
bitter winter.
By the mid-1880s, Salem's cotton-cloth mills at the Point employed
1400 people who produced about 19 million yards annually, worth
about $1.5 million. The city's large shoe factories stood downtown
behind the stone depot and on Dodge and Lafayette Streets. A jute
bagging company prospered with plants on Skerry Street and
English Street; its products were sent south to be used in cotton17
�baling. Salem factories also produced lead, paint, and oil. At the
Eastern Railroad yard on Bridge Street, cars were repaired and even
built new. In 1887 the streets were first lit with electricity, replacing
gas-light. The gas works, which had stood on Northey Street since
1850, was moved to a larger site on Bridge Street in 1888, opposite
the Beverly Shore.
More factories and more people required more space for buildings,
more roads, and more storage areas. This space was created by
filling in rivers, harbors, and ponds. The once-broad North River
was filled from both shores, and became a canal along Bridge Street
above the North Bridge. The large and beautiful Mill Pond, which
occupied the whole area between the present Jefferson Avenue,
Canal Street, and Loring Avenue, finally vanished beneath streets,
storage areas, junk-yards, rail-yards, and parking lots. The South
River, too, with its epicenter at Central Street (that's why there was a
Custom House built there in 1805) disappeared under the pavement
of Riley Plaza and New Derby Street, and some of its old wharves
were joined together with much in-fill and turned into coal-yards and
lumber-yards. Only a canal was left, running in from Derby and
Central Wharves to Lafayette Street.
In 1900 (per census, house 279), this house was occupied by Mrs.
Mary A. Wiggins, 65, born in Maine of a Danish father and a Maineborn mother, and (other unit) by Mrs. Anna Upton, 33, a widow, and
boarder Charles H. Collins, 40, a widower, born in Vermont,
working as a carpenter.
By June, 1902, Mrs. Wiggin had died, and the executor of her will
for $1515 sold the homestead at public auction to Joseph B. Brown
of Salem (ED 1770:284). Mr. Brown, an Irishman, soon died. In
February, 1905, some of his heirs sold out to another one, Thomas
C. Brown of Salem (ED 1770:286).
Salem kept growing. The Canadians were followed in the early 20 th
century by large numbers of Polish and Ukrainian families, who
settled primarily in the Derby Street neighborhood. By the eve of
World War One, Salem was a bustling, polyglot city that supported
large department stores and large factories of every description.
People from the surrounding towns, and Marblehead in particular,
came to Salem to do their shopping; and its handsome government
buildings, as befit the county seat, were busy with conveyances of
18
�land, lawsuits, and probate proceedings. The city's politics were
lively, and its economy was strong.
In 1910 (per census, house 22) this house was occupied as a twofamily by (one unit) the owner, Thomas Brown, 42, born in Ireland,
working as a truant officer, with wife Maria A., 40, born in Scotland,
and children Thomas J., 17, an errand boy, Helen F., 15, Arthur V.,
14, and Leo H., 13; and by (other unit) the widow Margaret P. Riley,
47, a nurse, ofirish parentage, and children Josephine, 21, a
stenographer, J olm M., 20, driver of a market wagon, and Mabel F .,
20, bakery saleslady.
On June 25, 1914, in the morning, in Blubber Hollow (Boston Street
opposite Federal) a blaze started in one of Salem's fire-prone
wooden tanneries. This fire soon consumed the building and raced
out of control, for the west wind was high and the season had been
dry. The next building caught fire, and the next, and out of Blubber
Hollow the fire roared easterly, a monstrous front of flame and
smoke, wiping out the houses of Boston Street, Essex Street, and
upper Broad Street, and then sweeping through Hathorne, Winthrop,
Endicott, and other residential streets. Men and machines could not
stop it: the enormous fire crossed over into South Salem and
destroyed the neighborhoods west of Lafayette Street, then devoured
the mansions of Lafayette Street itself, and raged onward into the
tenements of the factory district. Despite the combined efforts of
heroic fire crews from many towns and cities, the fire overwhelmed
everything in its path: it smashed into the large buildings of the
Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company (Congress Street), which
exploded in an inferno; and it rolled down Lafayette Street and
across the water to Derby Street, threatening this neighborhood.
There, at Herbert Street, after a 13-hour rampage, the monster died,
having consumed 250 acres, 1600 houses, and 41 factories, and
leaving three dead and thousands homeless. Some people had
insurance, some did not; all received much support and generous
donations from all over the country and the world. It was one of the
greatest urban disasters in the history of the United States, and the
people of Salem would take years to recover from it. Eventually,
they did, and many of the former houses and businesses were rebuilt;
and several urban-renewal projects (including Hawthorne Boulevard,
which involved removing old houses and widening old streets) were
put into effect.
19
�In August, 1915, Thomas C. Brown (wife Marie A.) sold the
homestead to Josefa Uszynski, wife ofWladjslaw Uszynski of
Salem; and in February, 1916, they conveyed the same to Mary, wife
of Bazil Thomasz of Salem; and in October, 1917, they sold to
Wojciech Kotulak of Salem (ED 2307:27, 2323:101, 2378:352).
By the 1920s, Salem was once again a thriving city; and its
tercentenary in I 926 was a time of great celebration. The Depression
hit in 1929, and continued through the 1930s. Salem, the county seat
and regional retail center, gradually rebounded, and prospered after
World War II through the 1950s and into the 1960s. Sylvania, Parker
Brothers, tanneries, Pequot Mills (fonnerly Naumkeag Steam Cotton
Co.), Almy's department store, various other large-scale retailers,
and Beverly's United Shoe Machine Company were all major local
employers. Then the arrival of suburban shopping malls and the
relocation of manufacturing businesses took their toll, as they have
with many other cities. More than most, Salem has navigated its way
forward into the present with success, trading on its share of
notoriety arising from the witch trials, but also from its history as a
great seaport and as the home of Bowditch, McIntire, Bentley, Story,
and Hawthorne. Most of all, it remains a city where the homes of the
old-time merchants, mariners, and mill-operatives are all honored as
a large part of what makes Salem different from any other place.
The homestead remained in the ownership of the Kotulak family
until 1970.

Land and House at 153 Federal Street, Salem, Mass.
This house was built for Aaron Hayward, master mason, in 1842.
In 1740 Hannah Orange, a widow of Boston, for,450 li sold
3 3/4 acres of land to Thomas Blaney, Salem shoreman (a man
involved in unloading, preparing, and selling the fish brought
back to Salem from the fishing grounds); this land ran down
along what is now Flint Street to what was then the broad
North River, of which Bridge Street was the southern bank
(80:101). In the 1760s Federal Street was laid out through
this land, and Mr Blaney 1 s widow, Alice Blaney, proceeded to
sell off the land for house-lots. On 18 Sept ·1773 she sold
to Benjamin Nourse, Salem sadler, for 35 li, a house-lot fronting about 36 1 on Federal Street and running ba~k about 200 1 ,
as well as a shallow triangular piece (gore) or land fronting
127' on Federal Street to the east {133:22).
Benjamin Nourse (a direct descendant of Rebecoa Nurse, the
witch trial victL~) built a house on this lot soon after
purchasing it in 1773; on 20 Nov 1789 he bought from Ebenezer
Beckford, a merchant, a parcel of land adjoining to the west,
fronting one pole (16.5 1 ) on Federal Street and running about
200 1 deep; on this strip stood a wood-house and the southerly
end of a dwelling house (148:251}. Mr Nourse immediately
mortgaged his dwelling house, his newly-enlarged house-lot,
and the gore to Mr Beckford, who discharged this mortgage on
15 April 1790 (148:252).
Mr Nourse, "a sexton," died nof old age 11 on_17 Jan 1798 in
his 78th year, having earlier changed his occupation from
sadler to chair-bottom maker; by his will of 24 Nov 1797 he
devised to his (second) wife Abigail a life estate in half
of his hcuse and land, and to his son Samuel the other half
of the homestead, along w:l.th the right to Abigail's half after
her death; to his son Benjamin he left just $50; according to
the inventory, the dwelling house and land were worth $800
(#19685).
On 7 Jan 1799 Samuel Ncurse, a cordwainer (shoemaker1 mortgaged
his half snd his right to his mother's half to Sarah Hathorne,
shopkeeper; she discharged this mortgage 30 April 1801 {164:205).
Again, on 28 April 1801, Mr Nourse mortgaged the same premises
for $500 to John Osgood, merchant, who was acting, evidently,
on behalf of his ward Joseph Jackson hroodbridge ( 169 :243).
11r Nourse paid off this mortgage on 20 Aug 1804 for $604 to
Messrs 0Rgood & Woodbridge (175:33).
It was probably at this time that Mr Nourse began the decline
that ended in death two years later; certainly his actions
were those of a man dete!'lllined to put his house in order. On
�20 Aug 1804 Mr Nourse for $500 granted to his step-mother
Abigail (who was also his mother-in-law) a life estate in
his undivided half of the homestead (175:33). On that same
day Mr Nourse, for $500,sold to William Coombs, baker,
~"'rederick Coombs, mariner, and Elizabeth Coombs, spinster
(his wife 1 s siblings )3:~his :r-ight to his step-mo':;her 1 s right
to the homestead and gore (175:33}; also at this time Mr
Nourse granted his right to his mother's remaining undivided
1/4 right in the homestead & gore to Joseph Mansfield, cordwainer, who immediately reconveyed this 1/4 right to Mr Nourse's
wife, Abigail (Coombs}, (these last two deeds were lost or
destroyed, and were renegotiated on 22 & 23 Oct 1806, 193:69).
Having conveyed all of his property to his ste~-mother and
to his wife and her siblings, Samuel Nourse died late in
November, 1806.
Mr Nourse 1 s step-mother, Mrs Abigail Nourse, died 1 Mar 1814,
aged 70 years. After her decease, the whole homestead & gore
came into the outright possession of William and Frederick
Coombs, and Mrs Elizabeth (Coombs) Symonds and widow Abigail
(Coombs) Nourse. On 20 Oct 18t4 and 22 July 1816, these four
people, for a grand total of $ 1100, granted their rights
to the property to Capt Holten Johnson Breed, master mariner
(203:301, 209:277-8).
Capt Breed lived here for several years; on 19 May 1829 he
sold the estate for $760 to Benjamin Allen, Salem tann9r
{252:81 ); from the sale price, one surmises that the property
had been allowed to run down. Mr Allen died 31 Mar 1839,
aged 36 years; the estate then descended to his father, John
Allen, Salem gentleman. On 6 Jan 1842 John Allen for $1000
granted to his neighbor to the west, Aaron Hayward, Salem
mason, the 11 lot of .land on Federal Street with all the buildings
thereon" as well as his right to the gore (328:259).
Evidently, Mr Hayward proceeded to raze or remove (or drastically
remode~ the old Nourse house, and to build this house in its
place. The 1842 Salem real estate assessments show that Mr
Hayward sold to Leonard B Harrington his half-house (now 155
Federal Street, worth then $1600), that he owned two houses
worth a total of $2800, and that he owned another house worth
$1400 unfinished and $2500 finished. This last house was
unfinished at the time of assessment (probably summer 1842),
but it was probably finished by the end of the year. The 1843
assessment show that }fr· Hayward lived at 75 Federal Street
(now 153 Federal St; the street numbers were changed 21 Mar
1853}, which was assessed at $2500; he still owned the other
two houses worth $2800.
On 26 Ap 1855 Mr Hayward for $4500 sold his homestead to
Leonard B Harrington, Salem leather-dealer (511:264). Mr
Hayward, a master mason, died on 25 Nov 1879, aged about
85 years. He left his wife Eliza (Glazier), daughters
�Eliza Ann (wife of Edward D Loring, who was the son of Joshua
Loring, coach-ms..ker, who built 55-57 Federal Street), Mary
Ellen Hayward, and son Charles Henry Hayward, all of Salem
(#42020).
Leonard Bond Harrington, leather manufacturer (1803-89), lived
here for more than 30 years. He died 6 Mar 1889. having outlived
his wife, Marg~ret G (Hearsay); a wealthy man, he left most
of his holdings to his daughter Mrs Mary E Goodhue, to his
grand-daughter, Mabel C Har~ington (daughter of his deceased
son Leonard), and to his son Henry Harrington (to whom he
left his Federal Street homestead), (#67478).
Henry Harrington (1832-98), like his father a leather-merchant,
died on 20 June 1898; the homestead, valued at $7500, was
devised to his wife Lydia Frye (Nichols) Harrin,~ton (82831 )'.
Mrs Harrington owned the premises up to the time of her death
on 30 Nov 1919; she willed 153 Federal Street to Eunice Alice,
wife of her brother Benjamin C Nichols (134881 ).
Mrs Nichola died on 27 May 1831; by her will of 29 Sept 1924
she left the estate to her daughter Marion Winchester Nichols,
the. present owner (#171078). ·

�167 FEDERAL STREET
Federal street was laid across private land about 1769. It was
called the new street in 1770; new street laid out near the
North river, 1779; a town way, 1782; and Federal street, 1794.
(Essex Antiquarian, Vol. 7, pg. 67)
As shown in the chain of title, this land was owned by Henry
Tuttle prior to Ezra Woodbury's purchase in May of 1878. Mr.
Tuttle lived at 165 Federal and had a small shop on the spot
where this house stands. Mr. Woodbury removed this shop and
obtained a building permit on August 5, 1878:
Ezra woobury - resident at 130 Bridge st. - to build at 167
Federal St. a wooden dwelling house 14' X 27' - two story with a pitched roof.
A summary of Ezra Woodbury's life was published in the Salem
Evening News, on May 4, 1899, at the time of his death:
"Ex Engineer Ezra Woodbury, news of whose critical illness was
announced in the first edition of today's News, died at his
residence, 168 Bridge street, at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Mr. Woodbury was born in Salem in the house on the corner of
Northey street and Woodbury court, Feb. 10, 1821. He was the
son of Israel and Susan Woodbury. He attended the old Williams
street school, and, after completing his education, learned the
carpenter's trade. On attaining his majority, he went into
business as junior member of the firm of Perkins & Woodbury.
The partnership lasted several yars, and upon its dissolution
he carried on the business alone, continuing it up to a few
years ago. He was largely interested in real estate and the
care of the property has been sufficient of late to keep him
busy.
He was always interested in fire matters and when quite a
young man was captain of one of the old hand engine companies,
and on April 4, 1879, was elected a member of the board of
engineers, serving until April 7, 1878. At the time of the
great fire in Boston, in 1872, in response to a call for help,
he was sent to that city in command of a portion of the Salem
fire department.
He was a member of the common council in 1856 and 1857, and
he had always been an earnest and outspoken temperance worker.
Mr. Woodbury was twice married, his wives being sisters,
Elizabeth and Mary Knight, and daughters of the late William
Knight of Salem. Both are dead. He leaves three sons, Ezra
Woodbury, assistant clerk of courts of Essex county, George P.
Woodbury a contractor and builder and Albert K. Woodbury first
assistant engineer of the Salem fire department, and one
daughter, Miss Abbie K. Woodbury who has kept her father's home
for him since the death of his second wife."
�Ezra Woodbury's real estate holdings in 1896 were listed as:
House 166-168 Bridge, $3,500; house 164 Bridge, $2,300; land,
6900 ft., $1,200; carpenter shop 58 Bridge, $100; land under

172 Federal Street
Built circa 1849 for George Nichols, Tanner
History of the property:
172 Federal Street was built at the peak of the Greek Revival
era of American architecture in the 1840s by Salem tanner George
Nichols for his son Nathan. The elder Nichols built the house and
resided in it briefly before conveying it to Nathan Nichols, a
clerk, who owned and occupied the property for the next fifteen
years.
The western end of the present-day Federal Street, which was
laid out across private lands after 1769 and referred to as the
"new street" on or near the North River until its formal
designation as "Federal Street" in 1794, was owned primarily by the
Buffum family, who had purchased it from the original land grant
recipient Robert Moulton in the later seventeenth century. Both
the Moulton and Buffum families were Quakers, and they located
their meeting house on the nearby "main street", or Essex Street.
The Buffum family retained, their property on Federal Street
until well into the nineteenth century, when it was divided into
house lots and sold to several grantees, including Thomas Reynolds,
a Salem laborer who purchased the lot on which the present-day 172
Federal Street now stands from Peace Buffum, a spinster, in 1847. 1
Reynolds purchased a lot of land bounded southerly by Federal
Street, westerly by land of Miss Buffum extending to the high water
mark of the North River, northerly by the river, and easterly by
land of Daniel Haskell, "together with all the flats belonging to
said lot". Less than a year later, he conveyed this lot to George
Nichols, Jr.,-a Salem tanner, who erected 172 Federal Street. 2
George Nichols did not transfer the deed to 172 Federal Street
to his son in his lifetime, but Nathan Nichols and his wife
Elizabeth took up exclusive residence in 1850 according to the
Salem Directories.
After his father's death and his subsequent
inheritance of the property, the younger Nichols obtained a
mortgage with which he expanded the original house in the early
1860s. The enlarged house was conveyed to Roderick A. MacKenzie,
Essex country (South) Registry of Deeds, Book 386, leaf
293; August 30, 1847.

E.C.R.D. Book 392, leaf 242; January 26, 1848

a Salem tailor, in 1865. 3 The MacKenzie family resided at 172
Federal Street for five years, after which they conveyed the
property to Daniel Haskell, who owned an adjacent house as well as
the Daniel c. Haskell & company, Tanners and Curriers, on Mason
street. Haskell immediately conveyed 172 Federal Street to one of
his employees, James Donaldson.'
The Donaldson family owned and occupied 172 Federal Street for
over twenty-five years, and their ownership is illustrated on both
the 1876 and 1897 Atlases of Salem (attached).
In 1906 James
Donaldson conveyed the property to the Wesley Methodist Episcopal
Church, and it became the rectory and residence of its pastor, the
Reverend Thomas W. Fessenden. 5
Six years later, the Church
transferred the house and land to the four Cuffe sisters of Salem,
who promptly took up residence. 6
Alice, Nellie, and Sarah Cuffe were single "career women"; the
former two were clerks and the latter was a factory forewoman.
Their elder sister Katharine Cuffe is listed simply as a "boarder"
in the Salem Directories. They apparently experienced difficulties
maintaining their household, as they obtained several mortgage
loans and took in a succession of boarders during their term of
ownership of the property (1912-1946). Of course, the Depression
coincided with several of these difficult years.
In 1946 the
surviving Cuffe sister, Sarah, conveyed the property to a nephew,
John L. Cuffe, and his wife Marion. 7 Though the Cuffes' property
was reduced by the construction of the Sylvania plant along "West"
Bridge Street, 172 Federal Street remained in the family for nearly
forty years through the inheritance of their daughter, Marion
Andrews.
The latter sold the property to its present owners,
Kenneth and Joyce Wallace, in 1984.

�175 FEDERAL STREET
NOT~S:
Documentation shows that the house built by Joshua Cross was
of one story in height and had 15 windows. Since the structure
is now two stories plus and definitely Greek Revival (1825 1850) in style, it must be assumed that it was altered during
that time frame. There has been no documentation found to
indicate that a new structure was built on this land after
1825.
Since the house was sold to Nathaniel ~. Osgood, in
1830, he is the person n1ost likely responsible for the
transformation.
1790 Census (pg. 94)
Joshua Cross 1 male over the age of 16; 1 h1ale under 16; 6
females.
(The abutters listed, Nathaniel Fisher and Ephraim
Emerton, place Cross as living on the lot now 175 Federal by
this date)
1850 census (Ward 4 #645:974)
Nathaniel Osgood age 53; tanner; prop. val. ~4,200; b. Mass.
Mary b, Osgood age 50; b. Mass.
Joseph Osgood age 25; master mariner; b. Mas~.
Caroline Osgood age 22; b. Mass.

House and Land at
55-57
Federal Street,
Salem, Mass.
This double house was built for Joshua Loring, Salem coachmaker, in.the year 1836.
The lot on which the house stands was first sold on 26 Oct 1815
by Isaac Cushing, Salem bookbinder, for $1000 to Joshua Loring,
Salem chaise-maker, "with all the buildings thereon ••• 11 (207:181 ).
Mr Cushing had, the day before (25 Oct 1815) purchased from the
estate of Hen,ry Rust, deceased Salem merchant, "a dwelling
house and all other buildings 11 together with a lot running
155' from Marlborough (now Federal) to Lynde Street, fronting
59 1 on each street (207:180). Mr Cushing had simply divided
this lot, and sold the Marlborough half to Mr Loring.
Henry Rust had purchased the street-to-street lot and house
on 7 Jan 1812 from Joseph Andrews of Salem for $2510 (195:192);
Mr Andrews had bought the premises at public auction I'.or
$2510 on 10 Dec 1811 (195:139); up to that time it had belonged
to Nathaniel Frothingham Esq, Salem coach-maker, who defaulted
on a debt and so lost the property. Mr Frothingham had
assembled the lot by two purchases from the Cook .family: one
in 1806 (179:168), when he bought an empty lot fronting 20'
on each street, and one in 1810 (192:130), when he bought
a dwelling house and land bounding 401 on each street.
It seems that Mr Cushing sold to Mr Loring the half of the lot
with Nathaniel Frothingham 1 s coach-mslring buildings on it, while
he (l'1r Cushing) retained the Lynde Street half with the house
thereon (probably t·he present yellow house on Lynde Street,
recently fixed over, in the rear of 35-37 Federal Street).
Mr Loring probably maintained his shop here up to 1829.
From 1815-29, he was annually assessed ;for.a:liduse & shop
valued at $500. The location of this house is not known to
me. In 1830 his assessment leaped to $1400, reflecting the
presence of a new hous~ that he had built on the Marlborough
(Federal) Street lot. Here he and his .family lived for the
next five years.
Joshua Loring was born in Hingham on 26 Mar 1782, the son of
Joshua Loring of that place. Joshua Jr was in the seventh
generation from his English immigrant ancestor, rhomas Loring.
He married Sarah vfoodbury Bray of Gloucester, the daughter of
Edward and Edith (Doane) Bray, about 1806. They had at least
eight children, onlY three of whom survived them. Most of
these children were still at home when Mr Loring built his
new house in 1830.
1
�Then, on 4 Sept 1835, Joshua Loring's house burnt to the ground!
(Details may be found in Essex Institute Historical Collections
vol. 39, P• 18; also the Salem Directory, 1904, chronology of
Salem events, under the year 1835). After this disaster, a
new house was begun on the site--this new dwelling being a
double house, the one that is presently standing. 'I'he new
house was built double to house Mr Loring's own family as well
as that of his daughter, Mrs Sarah Hunt.
By the time of the 1836 assessment, the #23 Marlborough Street
half was evidently finished, for the tax records show that
John D Hunt, Hr Loring 1 s son-in-law, was living there; at the
same time, Mr Loring was assessed 0!1lly $500 for "one-half an
unfinished house, No. 21 Marlboro." The double house was
probably finished before the year came to a close. Further
evidence for this conclusion is provided by the 1837 Salem
Directory (which was based on locations as of 1836); it lists
Joshua Loring as a coach-maker with a place of business at
2 Marlboro' St and a house at 21 Marlboro'; John D Hunt is
listed as a chaise-maker with a place of business at 14 Court
Street (now ,upper ;Federal -st.) and a house at 23 Marlboro 1 St.
In the year 1837, Mr Loring and Mr Hunt were taxed for their
respective halves of the double house, each valued at $1400.
In that same year, on 2 Mar 1837, Mr Loring for $2600 sold to
Mr Hunt 11 all the westerly half part of' the dwelling house and
the land on the southerly side of Marlboro' Street •.• being
No. 23 on said street ••• 11 (297:163). Mr Hunt immediately
mortgaged the property to Isaac Cushing ($1100), (297:164),
?-nd to his mother, Mary Hunt, for $1500 (297:164).
Joshua Loring, the original owner of the house, sold his half
for $1900 to Thomas Robbins, Salem chaise-maker, on 14 May 18L~2
(331 :160); the Robbins family lived there for quite a while.
On 28 July 1845 John D Hunt and his mother, widow Mary Hunt
(by right of her interest as mortgagee) sold #23 Marlboro
Street to George Wheatland of Salem (357:123). Mr Wheatland
owned the premises for five years, selling for $2000 to
William Hunt, Salem merchant, "the messuage on Marlborough
Street occupied by John D Hunt" on 18 June 1850 (430:232).
I am not sure what relation ~villiam Hunt bore to John D Hunt;
possibly he was his brother or father.
Meanwhile, in the other half of the house, Mr Robbins died
and his son Thomas A Robbins inherited the place; on 25 Oct
1867 he sold it for $950 to George W Pease of Salem (733:65).
Mr Pease liked his half so well that on 2 July 1869 he bought
the other half for $3500 from William Hunt ( 777~1'67). Mr Pease
thus secured title to the entire double house and land.
�Mr Pease immediately conveyed the house
& land for $3500 to
John S Williams of Salem (890:201 ); this transaction seems
to have been a mortgage, for on 9 Oct 1873, Mr Williams reconveyed the premises to Mr Pease (890:201 ).
Although it certainly appears that Mr Pease had bought up
all rights to 55-57 Federal Street, on 9 Oct 1880 we find
him buying the western half-house (#57), formerly that of
John D Hunt, from a group composed, apparently, of the
living heirs of Joshua Loring (Edward D Loring of Salem,
and John D, John L, Carrie L, & Sarah M Hunt, all of San
Francicco); Mr Pease paid them $2800 for the property, but
I do not understand on what right they based their claim
to the premises (1309:161 ).
·
After the death of Mr Pease, three of his four children
(Mrs Margaret H Fielder, Mrs Helen L Pousland, Mrs Caroline
L Brown) on 6 May 1891 released their rights to their father's
double house to the fourth Pease heir, Mrs Sarah F Pratt of
Salem (1308:485). Mrs Pratt owned the property for many
years; after her death the adminstrator of her estate
(the Naumkeag Trust Co.) on 8 Feb 1930 sold the double
house for $8000 to Mrs Teresa N Johnston of Salem (2836:224).
Mrs Johnston soon (26 June 1930) sold the place to Florence
Boardman Porter of Beverly (2849:224).
Florence B Porter owned the premises about twelve years,
selling on 26 May 1942 to Katharine M Lawless of Waltham
(3295:56). After the death of Katherine M Lawless, on
· 31 Oct 1962 the executor of her will, Philip J Durkin
of Salem, sold the property for $20,000 to Alice B Rogers
of Salem, who continues to own 55-57 Federal Street (%006:285).

60 Federal Street:
built
ca. 1818
for
David Crowell
cordwainer
Researched by: John V. Goff
post office box 86SS, Salem, MA 01971
March 7, 1991
�60 Federa1 Street:
bui1tca. 1818
for
David Crowe11. cordwainer
1. Site: Odell Hill
60 Federal Street, the present Rifkin Law Office, is located on the north side
of Federal Street near the east side of North Street (also known as Route
114). Historically, this area of Salem was known as Odell Hill, apparently
named for the family of James Odell, who owned land north of 60 Federal
Street in the early 19th century [ref: 1826 deed 238:85, also early maps
e.g. 1780, and 1851 maps of Salem]. "Odell Square" was the name given to
a private street which traversed Odell Hill north and east of 60 Federal
Street; portions of its course were located on the 1851 map of Salem.
Eventually, Odell Square was discontinued as a route, and its land was
adapted as common property [ref: 20th c. maps, and 1908 deed 1973:291.)
2. Marlborough Street
The portion of Federal Street east of North Street was originally laid out as
a "lane" separate from Federal Street in the late 18th century. By circa
1780, the path of this road had been drawn on paper, but the lane
supported no buildings, and was apparently newly established [reference:
1780 map of Salem]. By the early 19th century, the street was called
"Marlborough" (or Marlboro) Street. It continued to be known as
Marlborough Street until circa 1855, when it was conceived to be an
extension of the existing Federal Street west of North Street. In or about
1855, Marlborough Street was renamed, and aH of its buildings were given
new Federal Street addresses. The building now known as 60 Federal
Street was known as 28 Marlborough Street before 1855. [ref. 1853. 1855
Salem City Directories].
3. The Architecture of 60 Federal Street (28 Marlborough Street)
60 Federal Street is an early 19th century two-story Federal Style wood
frame building which is oriented along a north-south axis running
perpendicular to Federal Street. Federal Street runs adjacent to the
structure on the building's south side, and the structure is oriented with its
narrow end facing the street. Close inspection of this facade reveals that
originally the building was built with a narrower end; the portion to the
right of the porch is of the earliest period. In the mid-to-late 19th century,
the building was extended and altered on the west side (the old front of
the house) to create a wider building with a porch and larger floor plan. 60
Federal Street assumed its present size and shape betwen 18 51
�and 187 4 [l'~f; 1851, 18 74 Sal~m maps]. The brick foundation which runs
under the whole structure, and the major re-design of the house are
believed to have been created for Thomas Jefferson Hutchinson, a
prominent Salem printer who occupied the building for nearly the entire
second half of the 19th century (ca. 1859-ca. 1895). [research cited below]
4. Earliest documented owner: David Crowell. cordwainer
David Crowell, cordwainer, is the earliest documented owner of the house
at 60 Federal Street. He is believed to have been the person who originally
financed its construction circa 1818. David Crowell was a cordwainer--one
who worked "cordwain" or Cordovan leather--probably as a shoemaker.
(Deeds 238:218 and 238:219; 1963 Funk & Wagnalls Standard College
Dictionary definition of "cordwain" and "cordwainer", p. 300 ).
In the first decade of the 19th century, David Crowell purchased separate
lands from Emery Moulton and fellow cordwainer William Pool on
"Buffum's Street" in North Salem. [ 1806 deed 180:251; 181 O deed 188: 179].
Buffum Street is located one block west of North Street on the north bank
of the North River. To its west is Barr Street, perhaps named for Salem
trader John Barr. [map of North Salem, Bryant Tolles Architecture in Salem,
1983, p. 254].
John Barr originally owned the land upon which 60 Federal Street was
built. In 1818, John Barr leased 30 feet of frontage on the north side of
Marlborough Street to David Crowell.IDeed 238:218]. Crowell sold the lease
and the [new! building upon it to Hiram Pond five years later, in 1825. The
deeds suggest that 60 Federal Street was first built or put upon its present
site by David Crowell between the years of 1818 and 1825.
In deed 250:77, Ebenezer Perkins (a later owner of the house) described
"the two story wooden building ... partly on land of Barr ... being the same
building lately owned by Crowell and by him sold to Sanborn and by
Sanborn to said Perkins" [deed 250:77]. Crowell's name as a the earliest
documented owner and occupant is also made evident in deeds 238:219
( 1825) and 240:218 (1826 ). The logic of Crowell building a house shortly
after he aquired a site for it, the language of these early deeds, and the
architectural style of the present building on the site all suggest a circa
1818 construction date for David Crowe H's house at 60 Federal Street.
The modest size (one-room deep, two stories tall) of 60 Federal Street as
first built and the fact that Crowell only owned the building but not the
land beneath it-- suggest that David Crowell was not a wealthy man, and
that the cordwainer's lot was not especially lucrative. In the 1830s, a
�cooper's shop once stood near 60 Federal Street, and in the 1850s, a cigar
manufactory was located one building to the west [deed277: 129, 1851
Salem map]; it appears that this neighborhood on the west end of
Marlborough Street was first developed as an active, tradesman's
neighborhood in the early 19th century.
5. Hiram Pond. Salem trader
In 1825, Hiram Pond purchased David CroweH's lease of John Barr's land,
and also purchased from David CroweU "a certain dwelling house scituate
on Marlborough Street...being the same in which I now live." [Deed
238:219 ]. In its earliest history, the building at 60 Federal Street was
owned separately from the parcels of land which lay beneath it, severely
compJicating its recorded history.[Deeds 238:219, 250:77, etc.] Joseph P.
Pond and his wife released their interest in the property to William M.
Arrington in 1847; Joseph P. Pond is assumed to have aquired his title from
the earlier Hiram Pond [Deed 390:26].
6. Ebenezer Perkins. housewright
Between 1826 and 1828, 60 Federal Street was owned by Ebenezer Perkins
and his wife Betsey. Perkins was a Salem housewright, who removed to
Albany, New York in 1828. Perkins described Crowell's building as being
"partly on above land and partly on land of Barr" and noted that CroweU
sold the building to one Mr. Sanborn, and Sanborn sold it to Perkins. [Deed
250:77]. Unfortunately, Sanborn's ownership can not be further
substantiated. According to cooper Daniel Story, Crowell sold directly to
Perkins in 1826 !Deed 240:218, also cited by Perkins). Perkins sold the land
and the house to Temple Hardy in 1828.[Deed 250:77].
7. Temple Hardy. baker
Between 1828 and 1833, 60 Federal Street was owned and occupied by
Mr. & Mrs. Temple and Sally Hardy. Hardy was a Salem baker, and
described the "two story dwelling house theron" which he purchased from
Ebenezer Perkins and the Barr estate [Deed 277: 128). In 1833, the Hardys
sold this property to William M. Arrington.
8. WiHiam M. Arrington. painter
William M. Arrington and his wife Lydia Arrington aquired 60 Federal
Street from Temple Hardy in 1833, and owned the property until 1838.
Under the Arringtons' ownership, apothecary John S. Harrison lived at 60
Federal Street in 1835-1836 [Salem Directory, 1836--lists Harrison at 28
Marlborough. 28 Marlborough was renamed 60 Federal Street under
�He was in business in Boston, on Church Street, for 9 years, and
then returned to Salem and established himself in the same
business in the Conrad Block. He remained there for 28 years, then
transferred his business to the Price Block, 15 years later removed
to the Kinsman Block, and about two years ago moved to his
present quarters 225 Washington Street. He at one time edited a
paper in Marblehead ...
He married Miss Mary E[llen] Skinner, a sister of Assistant Marshal
Skinner, January 1, 1844, and four children were
born to the couple, only one of whom Edward C. Hutchinson,
associated with his father in business, survives. The funeral will
take place from 60 Federal Street Wednesday. Essex Lodge of
Masons will attend. See notice" [Salem Gazette July 16,
1895, page l l
[NOTE: I wonder if T.J. Hutchinson's wife Mary E. Skinner might also have
been related to the "Richard Skinner and Son" who had a cigar manufactory
and residence one house west of 60 Federal Street in the 1850s--see 1851
Mcintyre Map of Salem, also Salem City Directory listings after 1855.1
According to the Salem City Directories, T.J. Hutchinson was a "job printer"
at 175-112 Essex Street before ca. 1859; and was established at 183 Essex
Street from circa 1859 through 1874. It seems logical to conclude that the
earliest was the address of the Conrad Block, and the latter was the address
of the Price Block. These buildings survive on Essex Street opposite the East
India Mall/ Museum Place complex. According to Salem architectural
historian Bryant Tolles, the Kinsman Block was built in 1882 at 81
Washington Street, and is the magnificent four story ornamented brick
building immediately north of City Hall. [Tolles, Architecture in Salem,
1983, pp.108-109.]
Further information on Hutchinson's printing career was recently supplied
by C. Deirdre Phelps in her essay on "Printing, Publishing, and Bookselling
in Salem, Massachusetts, 1825-1900" published in the Essex Institute
Historical Collections edition of October, 1988. It appears that the original
account books for the Salem Register survive at the Essex Institute, and
from these account books it is evident that Hutchinson apprenticed at the
Register from 1836 through 1839. [EIHC op. cit, p. 277). By 1849,
Hutchinson was established as a printer on his own, and he exhibited some
of his works at the Mechanic's Fair of 1849 in Salem. The Report of the
First Exhibition of the Salem Charitable Mechanic Association ( 1849) noted
that:
"A Card Printing Press ... designated the "Star" Press ... was worked by
T.j. Hutchinson, who also exhibited some commendable specimens
�of his own work, some of which, in different colored bronzes, were
printed with a superior sizing, manufactured by Mr. Hutchinson."
(EIHC op. cit, p. 241]
In 1853, Hutchinson advertised "Bronze printing and printing in colors" in
the Salem City Directory. Before 1860, he also printed a broadside which
survives at the Essex Institute which advertised "Plain and ornamental job
printing." [EIHC op. cit, p.277) T. J. Hutchinson printed most of the Essex
Lodge of Freemasons' by-laws and notices during the second half of the
nineteenth century, and a portrait of T.J. Hutchinson may have been
published in Harold Pierce Hadley's 200 Years of Masonry in Essex Lodge
1779-1979 printed in Danvers in 1979. [EIHC op. cit, p. 240.l Hutchinson's
career with the Masons was also documented in the mid-19th century by
William Leavitt, who published biographical information on Hutchinson in
Volume 3, page 267 of the Essex Institute Historical Collections.
Thomas and Mary Hutchinson's son Edward C. Hutchinson began his
printing career working in his father's office. In 1871, "Eddie C. Hutchinson
12 years of Age" printed a four-page newsheet called The Young Fireman.
no. 1., which opened with a poem about news editing. In 1873, young
"Edward C. Hutchinson" printed a periodical called the City Mirror. From
1878-1885, Edward worked as a "printer" at his father's; from 1886-1887
he was a "foreman", and from 1888-1896 he was a "partner" in T.J.
Hutchinson and Son's Salem printing office. [EIHC op. cit, p. 277)
12. John and Kate McMorriH
Thomas J. Hutchinson's wife Mary Ellen Hutchinson purchased additional
lands for the Hutchinson homestead in 1880 from Wi11iam H. Gove (Deed
1042:209 ]; two years after her husband's death, she sold the 60 Federal
Street property to John McMorriH, whose wife was named Kate McMorrill.
[Deed 1502: 193.] The McMorrills owned the property briefly in 1897, and
sold Hin May, 1897 to Clara P. Wardwell. (Deed 1512:293.l
13. Clara P. Wardwell. single woman
Clara P. Wardwell in 1896 purchased the property immediately east of 60
Federal Street (between the Hutchinson's and the Baptist Church)--see
Deeds 1475:330-331. In May, 1897, she bought 60 Federal Street from the
McMorrills, expanding her holdings on Federal Street [Deed 1512: 293.) In
1908, Clara P. Wardwell bought an additional 67 · x 6' piece of property
on the north from Elizabeth Odell which formerly was set off as "Odell
Square," a private way. (Deed 1973:291.) In 1925, Miss Wardwell sold 60
Federal Street with the former Odell strip on the north to Nellie M. Fay
!Deed 2663: 440.)
�Sleeper's ownership] In 1838, the Arringtons sold the property to Maria M.
Sleeper. [Deed 390:261.
9. Maria M. Sleeper. widow
Maria M. Sleeper, widow, purchased 60 Federal Street in 1838, and resided
here through 1854, according to deeds 390:26, 499:207, and Salem City
Directories. Under Sleeper's ownership, the property was renumbered from
28 Marlborough Street to 60 Federal Street circa 1854. I 1853 and 1855
Salem directories, also deed 499:207).
10. Michael W. Shepard. merchant
In August 1854, Maria M. Sleeper conveyed the 60 Federal Street property
to Salem merchant Michael Shepard, according to deed 499:207. However,
Michael Shepard died shortly therafter, and in 1854, the executors of the
Shepard estate, (Thomas P. Shepard, Michael W. Shepard and Henry F.
Shepard) sold the property to Salem printer T. J. Hutchinson. [deed
572: 130). Hutchinson's full name was Thomas Jefferson Hutchinson, and he
was an important Salem citizen in the mid-to-late 19th century.
11. Thomas Jefferson Hutchinson. printer
Thomas Jefferson Hutchinson resided at 60 Federal Street from 1854 until
his death in January, 1895--a period over forty years long! [Deed 572: 130;
also obituary Salem Gazette July 16, 1895 p.1 ]. Of equal significance,
Hutchinson was a prominent Salem citizen--a printer when Salem was a
vital center of the printing and publishing trade--and he left definite
marks on the architecture of 60 Federal Street (the brick foundation, and
west side porch and additions are late 19th century in style and were
apparently added during the Hutchinson family's residence.)
Hutchinson's life is of interest to any student of Salem history, and can be
reconstructed in part from his obituary which was printed in 1895. The
Salem Gazette reported:
USEFUL CAREER FINISHED.
UNEXPECTED DEATH OF THOMAS J. HUTCHINSON.
For more than 50 years he engaged in printing.
Prominent in Masonic and other organizations.
Thomas]. Hutchinson, died at his residence, 60 Federal Street,
yesterday noon. He was born in Salem February 18, 1822, and
during his whole life, after leaving school, engaged in the printing
business, either in Salem or Boston. He learned his trade in the
Salem Register office.
�During Clara P. Wardwell's ownership of 60 Federal Street, others lived
here including Frank Austin, painter ca. 1899) Flora Alden, a dressmaker
ca. 1911 and J. G. Woodbury, a clerk ca. 1920. (Salem City Directories].
14. The Fay Family
Nellie M. Fay resided in Hingham before she purchased 60 Federal Street
from Miss Clara P. Wardwell in 1925. [Deed 2663: 440.] After Nellie M. Fay
died, 60 Federal Street was transferred to two of her heirs Martin F. Fay,
and Mary E. Deviney of Dover, Massachusetts. (Probate Docket 254,193].
Martin F. Fay and Mary E. Deviney owned the property until 1975. [Deed
6123:193.I
During the Fay ownership of 60 Federal Street, others also resided here,
including clerks Lillian B. Harding and Marian Taylor ca. 1930, and Robert
j. Kobierski and Mrs. Mary E. Turner ca. 1960. (Salem City Directories]
1S. Edward and Phyllis M. Mello
In 1975, Martin F. Fay and Mary E. Deviney sold 60 Federal Street to
Edward Mello and Phyllis M. Mello [Deed 6123: 193). The Mellos sold the
property in 1976 to David and Dori Rifkin [Deed 6250: 696].
16. The Rifkins
David Rifkin and Dori Rifkin, "Trustees of Reuben Realty Trust" purchased
60 Federal Street from the Mellos in 1976. [Deed 6250:696). They currently
own the property as of March, 1991, and maintain the "Rifkin Law Office"
here. [Historic Salem house research and plaque application form dated
January 10, 1991; also field inspection of property, 1991.] The Rifkins are
the latest owners of the building which served as the house for printer
Thomas j. Hutchinson and his family for much of the 19th century, and
which is believed to have been built for cordwainer David Crowell circa
1818.[research cited above; see also deed transcriptions, attached.]

L. B. Harrington, Mr. Treadwell began business for himself in a
small way before the war, and when the struggle came he amassed
wealth rapidly. He was especially successful as a manufacturer
of heavy wax leather, and built and operated one of the largest
tanneries and leather factories in N~w England. Twice he suffered
heavily by fire, his buildings being swept away, but each time
he rallied with great energy and pluck and rebuilt better than
before. Mr. Treadwell was $Sociated with the late John Culliton,
in the firm of Culliton, Treadwell & Co. who conducted a successful
hide and leather business on High St. in Boston before the great
fire and was subsequently the senior partner of the firm of
Treadwell, Dugan & Osgood in the same business at 68 High street
for several years after the fire. He was a member of the Salem
Common Council in 1866, 1 67 and 1 68 and was formerly a Director of
the Asiatic National Bank. Mr. Treadwell's estate is estimated
in the vicinity of $500·,ooo. He was a veteran member of the Salem
Light Infantry. A widow and three children survive him."

the daughter of the late William and Elizabeth (Blake) Redding.
Death was caused by a appendicitis. She leaves three children,

Mrs. Clarence s. Clark, Frank R. and Harry D. Treadwell. Her
husband was an extensive morocco manufacturer for many years on
Franklin street, and the business which he established is still

his death, which occurred in 1729.
Samuel Ingersoll House. This lot was
a part of the land conveyed by Timothy

it to John Ingersoll of Salem.* Mr. Ingersoll's son John built a house upon the
lot about 1670; and the father died in
1683, having, in his will, devised the lot
to his son John. John Ingersoll was a
mariner, and lived here. He died in
1694, possessed of the house and lot,
which were then valued at sixty pounds.
The estate was divided in l 695, this

will, devised the lot to the widow of his
son Richard, for her life, and then to the

Richard Ingersoll, married, secondly,
Joseph Procter of Ipswich, yeoman, before Dec. 24, l 701 1 when she released
her interest in the estate to her son Richard Ingersoll. t The last- named Richar<:!
Ingersoll died prior to July 1, 1708, when

(A title check of the surrounding properties was done to be
sure the correct property was traced. This study indicates
that Catherine Berry owned the land now 6-8 Daniels Street,
Mary cox owned the land now 65 Essex st., Edmond Whittemore
owned the lot now #59 Essex Street, Joseph Searl or Sarl owned
what is now 63 Essex Street.)
On April 3, 1767 Abraham Valpy mortgaged his half, or west end,
of the homestead to Francis Cabot.
Elizabeth valpy died in 1771. By a will, written on December
28, 1770, Mrs. Valpy left her sons John, Abraham, Richard and
Benjamin each 5 shillings. The rest of her estate, both real
and personal was bequeathed to her granddaughter Elizabeth
Talbut.
An inventory, taken in 1771, shows her real estate
as:

�Also recorded in book 171 page 70 is the explanation that the
surviving executors of Francis Cabot recovered judgement
against Lydia Valpy, widow of Abraham, in the court of common
pleas in July 1784. The conditions were that unless Lydia paid
unto Cabot 61 pounds, 3 shillings and 8 pence she would lose
possession.
This sum was never paid, so when Lydia Valpy died
on July 8, 1801, the Cabot heirs took possession.
With the last conveyance, Abigail Berry now owned the entire
lot at 4 Daniels Street and removed the remaining portion of
the old Richard Ingersoll house.
The tax records indicate that
Abigail had a new house built shortly after taking possession:

16 Crombie Street
Built in 1834
for
Samuel Ferguson, Painter
Research by Donna Vinson
February, 1992
�16 Crombie Street
The Ferguson-Fellows House
Built in 1834 for Samuel Ferguson, Painter
History of the Property:
The lot on which 16 Crombie Street now stands is part of a much
larger lot which served as a pasture for the Corwin family in the
seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.
Their house was <and is)
located on the corner of Essex and North Streets, the present-day
"Witch House".
The patriarch of the family, Captain George Corwin,
died in early 1685 and his executors inventoried his property and
possessions shortly thereafter.
Valued at ninety pounds was "the
pastor, qt. about 3 acres and 1/2, considering a buriall place ther
apointed"
(George Francis Dow, "An Inventory of the Contents of the
Shop and House of Captain George Corwin", Privately Printed in Salem,
1910, p. 5).
Captain Corwin bequeathed his house and a half part of the
pasture to his son Jonathan, who served as one of the judges in the
Salem Witch Trials seven years later.
In order to distance themselves
from his involvement, later generations of the family referred to
themselves as "Curwins" and "Curwens" after the judge's death in 1718.
In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Reverend Bentley
reports that the pasture located between Essex, Summer, Norman, and the
newly-laid-out Crombie's "lane" or "court" was still called "Curwen's
field" even though it had passed to a succession of unrelated owners,
including members of the Cabot, Crombie, and Baker families.
"Curwen's field" remained undeveloped pastureland until Benjamim
Crombie began laying out a lane to Norman Street on the land adjoining
his Essex Street tavern, the "Sign of the Ship", after 1805.
Nearly
twenty years later, the "lane", "court", and finally "street", was
completed.
As the path gradually progressed southward, Crombie sold
off parts of his property to various Salem grantees, "together with a
right and privilege of free egress and regress of said way for
themselves, their heirs and assigns, and their servants on foot and in
carriages, for their cattle, carts, and otherwise, in as full and ample
a manner as the Inhabitants of said Salem use the Streets of said Town"
<Essex County Registry of Deeds, Book 179, leaf 222).
Joseph Baker,
Salem merchant, appears to have been the largest purchaser of the new
Crombie Street property <E.C.R.D. Book 179, leaves 221-223>.
Baker sold part of his newly-acquired property to James Bott,
Jr., saddler and son of the famed Salem chaisemaker and namesake of
"Bott's Court", further west along Essex Street, in 1807 <E.C.R.D. Book
181, leaves 103-104>.
Bott purchased additional property on Crombie
Street in the following year, financing both purchases with mortgages
�granted by the sellers, Baker and Thorndike Deland <E.C.R.D. Book 182,
leaves 285-287>.
Bott's mortgages apparently became so burdensome that
he was compelled to sell his Crombie Street properties at a loss to his
more established father in 1811 <E.C.R.D. Book 192, leaves 259-260).
James Bott Sr. held the estate, one of many in Salem he possessed,
until his death in 1829 at the venerable age of eighty-four.
The elder Bott possessed not only many properties in Salem but
also many heirs, and so the settlement of his estate took several
years.
In 1833, one of Bott's grandchildren, Samuel Ferguson, bought
the shares of his siblings in the Crombie Street property and erected a
house on the consolidated estate in the following year <E.C.R.D. Book
274, leaves 51-52).
Either he did not intend, or could not afford, to
live in the new house as he sold it to Oliver Fellows, shipwright and
"caulker", only a year later <E.C.R.D. Book 284, leaves 181-182).
The Fellows family remained in residence at 16 Crombie Street for
over forty years.
Mrs. Fellows lived there alone after her husband's
death in the 1860s, and her heirs sold the property to Lydia Woodbury,
widow of Stephen Woodbury of Salem, after their mother's death
<E.C.R.D. Book 972, leaves 175-176).
From time to time Mrs. Woodbury
took in tenants and residents to live with her, and in her later years
a niece, Miss H.P. English, was in residence.
After Lydia Woodbury's
death in 1900 her heirs sold the property to Mr. and Mrs. George A.
Stevens of Salem <E.C.R.D. Book 1620, pages 57-58>.
George Stevens was
a guard at the nearby Mercantile National Bank on Essex Street
<Salem
Directory, 1901). Della Stevens Bogart and her husband Harry, a
clerk, came into possession of the house after her mother's death in
1921 <E.C.R.D. Book 2501, pages 435-437>. The Bogarts also took in
occasional boarders <Salem Directories, 1921-1931).
After ten years in residence, the Bogarts sold 16 Crombie Street
to Franklin and Margaret O'Brien of Salem, who occupied the house until
1946 <E.C.R.D. Book 2870, page 333; E.C.R.D. Book 3132, page 487>.
That year, 16 Crombie Street and other properties in the immediate
vicinity, including the Empire Theater on the corner of Essex and
Crombie Streets, were conveyed to Naumkeag Insurance Company, Inc. of
Salem and its real estate associate, Salem Realty Company, by various
grantors, including the O'Briens <E.C.R.D. Book 3477, page 108;
E.C.R.D. Book 3518, pages 349-353. See inserted "Plot Plan of Property
on Summer St., Salem, Mass. for Salem Realty Co., 285 1/2 Essex Street,
Salem, Mass.).
In 1958 Salem Realty Company sold 16 Crombie Street to
Mary W. Cass and Joanna M. Cass, mother and daughter <E.C.R.D. Book
4523, page 52).
Joanna Cass Bennett and her husband James Bennett are
the present owners of the property.
