MATERIALS FOR A GENEALOGY OF THE SPAR-

Nathaniel Sparhawk, the emigrant ancestor of all
bearing that name in the United States, settled in Cam-
bridge, Massachusetts, in 1638.^ This is the generally
accepted date, although Mr. Paige gives, in his History
of Cambridge, 1636. The birthplace of Nathaniel Spar-
hiiwk was in Dedham, Essex Co., Enghind, and his par-
ents were Lewis and Elizal)eth (Bayning) Sparhawk. At
the time of bis coming to New England, he was in the
fortieth year of his age. He was made freemau. May 23,
1639, aud a deacon of the (;hnrch of Cambridge. Three
years Liter he was deputy to the General Court, from 1642
to 1647. In May, 1645, he was one of "a committee to
consider of some way whereby y* negative vote may be
tempered, y* justice may have free passage."

From various sources we learn that he was a man of
large property, most of which was in real estate within or

near Cambridge.^ His residence was on the easterly side
of Brighton street, between Mount Auburn street and
Harvard square. In 1642, he is represented as owning
five houses and about five hundred acres of land.

By his wife Mary (whose maiden name is unknown),
he had five or more children. Of these, the eldest, Na-
thaniel, was born in England, and probably all but the
youngest.^ The following is the list of his children in the
probable order of their birth.

1 Nathaniel, ; m. Patience Newman, Oct. 3, 1649; d. Jan.,

1687.

2 Anne, ; m., 1st, Deacon Jno. Cooper; 2nd, James Con-

vers, sr., of Woburn, Mass.

3 Mary, ; m. Capt. William Symmes.

4 Esther, ; m. Samuel Adams, May 7, 1668.

5 Samuel, b. Aug. 27, 1638 ; d. Aug. 13, 1639.

Mrs. Mary Sparhawk died in Cambridge, Mass., Janu-
ary 25, 1643-4. Her husband soon after married again
and by his second wife, Katherine, had

6 Ruth, b. April 12, 1645 ; d. May 7, 1645.

7 Elizabeth, b. , 1646; d. unm. Nov. 9, 1692.

Nathaniel Sparhawk, sr., died June 28, 1647, and his
wife, Mrs. Katherine Sparhawk, July 5 of the same yea'r.

At the time of Nathaniel Spnrhawk's death, we are told
by Paige, in his History of Cambridge, that about a thou-
sand acres were sold from the estate and that there was
still remaining "a large quantity of land on the south side
of the river (now Brighton district), a part of which still
remains in possession of his descendants." This shows a
large increase in his real estate during the last five years
of his life.

Jane (Porter) SparhaAvk died July 26, 1777. They were
married (according to aforesaid memorandum book) "at
Major Se wall's house, at Boston." This was her maternal
grandfather, a brother of the famous Chief Justice Samuel
Sewall.

43 Nathaniel Sparhawk, the son of Rev. John and
Priscilla (Hemans) Sparhawk, married Elizabeth, only re-
maining daughter of Sir William and Lady Mary (Hirst)
Pepperrell, in Kittery, Maine, June 10, 1742. Their chil-
dren were :

125 William Pepperrell, bapt. July 10, 1743; d. young.

126 Nath'l, b. Aug. 1, 1744; bapt. Aug. 19; ra., 1st, Cath. Spar-

131 Mary Pepperrell, b. 1754; m. Chas. Jarvis, M.D. ; d.l815.

Nathaniel Sparhawk, sr., was a merchant in Boston at
the time of his marriage, but after that he lived in Kitteiy.
(His father-in-law had built there the elegant mansion now
known as the "Sparhawk house" for his daughter Madam
Sparhawk.) Mr. Sparhawk retained an interest in his
business in Boston, and also had commercial interests in
Kittery. In his later years he was conspicuous as a Judge
and Councillor. The elegant dining hall, in the Sparhawk
house, was used as "the Council Chamber," where the
Councillors met. This house, now in perfect preservation,
is the finest specimen of the architecture of the period
(1742) remaining in that vicinity. Of the marriage of
Nathaniel Sparhawk and Elizabeth Pepperrell, the Rev.
John Sparhawk, in his memorandum book, writes as fol-
lows :

"My dear and only brother, Nath'l, was married at Kit-
tery to Miss Elizabeth Pepperrell, the only daughter of the
then Hon'ble William Pepperrell, Esq., now Sir William
Pepperrell, Bart., on June 10, 1742."

Mrs. Elizabeth (Pepperrell) Sparhawk was, through
her mother, a great granddaughter of the famous Chief
Justice Samuel Sewall, and thus a descendant as Avell of
the Dummers, Hirsts, and many more distinguished fami-
lies. She carried herself always with a true spirit of no-
bility. Her last years were spent with her daughter Mrs.
Charles Jarvis, in Boston, at which time she was active in
all good words and works. She died in Boston in 1797,
leaving only her two oldest sons (Nathaniel and William)
and her daughter Mrs. Jarvis ;^ her husband and the others
havinsT gone before her.

GENEALOGY OF THE SPARHAWK FAMILY. 17

Mrs. Priscilla (Hemaus) Sparhawk, after the death of
her husband, married Jonathan Waldo, and her will is re-
corded in the probate office of Alfred, Maine. In it she
bequeaths to her son John, "all that wrought plate which
he has already received," also to her son Nathaniel "all
the plate of which I shall die possessed, or shall not have
disposed of and delivered in my life time to those to whom
the same may be conveyed." She wills to her daughter-
in-law Elizabeth (Pepperrell) Sparhawk her "Suit of Mas-
querade Damask," in return or offset for a "suit of silk
cloths" given to her daughter-in-law Jane (Porter) Spar-
hawk.

They are to have her wearing apparel equally divided
between them. Her sons Rev. John Sparhawk of Salem,
Mass., and Hon. Nathaniel Sparhawk of Kittery, Maine,
to have her estate, real and personal, divided between
them. This was dated Kittery, Maine, July 12, 1749,
and probated Mar. 31, 1755. It is probable that she was
residing with her son Nathaniel.

This is further changed by a codicil in which she gives
one hundred pounds old tenor, or the value thereof in
other money to her granddaughter Priscilla Sparhawk.

Hannah (Hastings) Cooper, married Edmund Frost, Feb.

126 Nathaniel Sparhawk, the son of Nathaniel and
Elizabeth (Pepperrell) Sparhawk, whose first wife and chil-
dren are entered under 114, married, second (in 1780),
Miss Eiizal)eth Bartlett, the daughter of Hon. Enoch and

after a long absence and took up his abode with his sister,
Mrs. Dr. Charles Jarvis, in the old family mansion at
Kittery, Maine. There he died in 1815, and his sister
passed away during the same year. Mrs. D. A. Sparhawk
married Dr. Abiel Pearson in 1816, who died in 1827.

127 William Pepperrell Sparhawk, son of Na-
thaniel and Elizabeth (Pepperrell) Sparhawk, married
ElizaljethRoyall, daughter of Hon. Isaac and Mary Mcin-
tosh Royall of Medford, Mass., Oct. 24, 1767.

Palmer), July 14, 1802.

325 William Royall, b. July 5, 1775; d., unmarried, Sept. 27, 1708.

William Pepperrell Sparhawk became chief heir of his
grandfather (Sir William Pepperrell), on condition that at
twenty-one years of age he should drop the name Spar-
hawk and be known as Sir William Pepperrell.

His grandfather's wishes were respected, and eight years
after his grandfather's decease(1767) , he assumed the title. ^
He has been known as Sir William 2(1, and also in the family
as "Young Sir William." He graduated from Harvard
College in 1766, and was later a Councillor, and Manda-
mus Councillor. A royalist, he fled to England with his
wife and children, also his wife's parents and kindred in
1775. His wife died on the voyage and was buried at Hali-
fax, N. S., October 8th. Her four children were born in
Kittery, Maine. Of her character, we can judge somewhat,
by a letter written by her brother-in-law, Samuel Hirst
Sparhawk to his father, of which we will transcribe a part
further on.

iParsons' "Life of Sir William Pepperrell."

36 GENEALOGY OF THE SPARHAWK FAMILY.

" Young Sir William " received a great deal of attention
in England, and was painted by West in a large group,
which represented him as he was when he presented his
brother tories of America to the King, craving the King's
most gracious favor. ^ He led a remarkably useful life, was
distinguished by a love of patriotism and charity toward all
men. He died in 1816, one year after his brother Nathaniel,
who had sojourned awhile in England after " young Sir
William," became a permanent resident there. The most
complete account of his life, which we cannot transcribe in
our limited space, is to be found in Sabine's "Loyalists of
the American Revolution" to which we have already re-
ferred our readers.

129 Andrew Pepperrell Sparhawk, the fifth son
of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Pepperrell) Sparhawk, mar-
ried Miss Turner, the daughter of an army officer in Bos-
ton, Sept. 5, 1775. He went to England with his brother
William, and died there, without children, in 1783. His
portrait, painted by Copley, is in existence in England. It
is owned by a lineal descendant of his niece. Lady Palmer,
Sir Archdale Palmer of AVanlip Hall, Leicestershire,
England.

130 Samuel Hirst Sparhawk, the sixth and young-
est son of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Pepperrell) Sparhawk,
went to England sometime later than his brothers William
and Andrew and was married thei-e. His portrait by Cop-
ley is in the possession of Sir Archdale Palmer.

His daughter was :

Aug. 29, 1872.

Before leaving for England, which step was the result
of his being an ardent Loyalist, he wrote to his father the
following letter, the original of which is now in the posses-
sion of the writer.

Hon**, and dear Sir :

I have not til now had an opportunity of writing you
for some time past, owing to the communication hetwixt
us and the country being cut ojff; and am now obliged to
confine myself to a few particulars as letters undergo an
inspection of committees, etc., etc.

Since my last you have undoubtedly been made ac-
quainted with the melancholy event of Lady Pepperrell's
death, which has been a most trying, piercing trouble to
us all, but especially to my poor broken hearted brother
Sir William who is day and night weeping for his dear
departed Object ; and can any one who knew her wonder?
Surely no : for she deserved the esteem of every one :
her sweetness of disposion and obliging behaviour added
to every amiable quality won the regard and attention of
all around her, and I must say as far as I have ever been
able to discover if there have been any exceptions to this,
it nuist have been owing to themselves and not to her ;
she often did kindnesses, but she injured no one : she
was too harmless and innocent, and I cou'd not love any-
body who I tho't didn't love her, but upon the principle
enjoined by a perfect character, to "love our enemies."
She was a worthy charming woman indeed ! who can think
of her and not be distressed. I'm sure I mourn my loss
most sincerly and its universal among all who were ac-
quainted with her character. I trust she is now made
happy in heaven thro' the great atonement for sin by Jesus
Christ

Judge John Lowell married Rebecca Russell (who was
his third wife) after his removal to Boston. He was a lin-
eal descendant of Percival Lowell, who came to America
in 1639.^ His father was the Rev. John Lowell, who mar-
ried, first, Sarah Champney (Judge Lowell's mother) and
second, Mrs. Elizabeth (Cutts) Whipple, the widow of
Rev. Jos. Whipple, and daughter of Robert and Dorcas
(Hammond) Cutts of Kittery, Maine. Judge Lowell was
born in Newbury, June 17, 1743, and took his first degree
in Harvard College in 1760. He was admitted to practice
law in 1763. He held many distinguished positions and
was honored alike by young and old. A very valuable
account of his life, and of that of his son Charles, has been
written by his granddaughter, Mrs. Mary (Lowell) Put-
nam. To this we have already referred, and we will not
attempt to do more than advise our readers to read that at
their earliest leisure. Judge Lowell died May 6, 1802.

GENEALOGY OF THE SPARHAWK FAMILY. 47

mother was Sarah Tyler, daughter of John Tyler and
granddaughter of Thomas and Miriam (Simpkins) Tyler,
the ancestors of the Boston family of that name.^ Her
father, Rev. Ellis Gray, was son of Edward and Hannah
(Ellis) Gray, and colleague pastor of the Second Church
in Boston. He was very nearly related to Hon. Harrison
Gray Otis, and many other distinguished Bostonians.

217 Reverend Thoraas Gary, the brother of Samuel
Gary, was graduated at Harvard College in 1761. He mar-

died May 28, 1779, and he died Nov. 24, 1808.

Reverend Thomas Gary was married twice and had one
son, by his first marriage, who died unmarried in early
manhood. His name was Thomas Graves Gary. The name
of his second wife we have thus ftir failed to find. His wife
Esther was a sister of Mrs. Edward Cutts, of Portsmouth,
N. H., and there are, through that source, in the posses-
sion of the writer, a number of his printed sermons and a
quaint portrait of Rev. Thos. Gary, executed, evidently, by
an amateur. Also a mourning ring in memory of Mrs.
Esther Gary, died in 1779.

Rev. Charles Lowell's life has been so graphically pic-
tured by his daughter, Mrs. Mary Lowell Putnam, to
which we have already referred, that we will not attempt
in our brief record to give more than an outline. He was
born on August 15, 1782, in Boston, Mass. He received his
first education at the grammar school in Roxbury, where
his parents were then living. He entered Harvard Col-
lege as a member of the sophomore class in 1797, having
previously attended Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass.
He took his degree on July 16, 1800. He studied law
under his brother for one year at the desire of his father.

Finding it distasteful, he was not opposed in his wish tc
enter the ministry. He completed his studies in Edin-
burgh and travelled extensively in Europe. His wife was
a great-great-granddaughter of Robert and Mary (Hoel)
Cutts of Kittery, Maine, through her mother. The ac-
count of his ministrations as clergyman can only be alluded
to here. He was not only successful but well-beloved.
All his children who have attained to years of maturity,
have achieved distinction, the most notable being: his
youngest son James Russell Lowell, the famous poet, lit-
terateur, statesman and orator.

On March 30, 1850, Mrs. Harriett B. S. Lowell was
suddenly taken away from her family by death. She was
much beloved, and it is said that her youngest sou inher-
ited his poetical talent from her. Mr. Lowell survived her
eleven years, dying on January 10, 1861.

Tappan, born in Northampton, May 23, 1788, was a grand-

great grandson of Samuel and Abigail (Wigglesworth)
Toppan. His famous ancestor, Rev. Michael Wiggles-
worth, married Mrs. Sybil (Sparhawk) Avery (see earlier
pages). Lewis Tappan was descended from Rev. Michael
and Martha (Mudge) Wigglesworth. Rev. Benjamin
Tappan first changed the name to Tappan which spelling
his descendants all use. Lewis T. was educated at home,
and at fifteen found a position with Mr. T. Wiggins, a
prominent merchant in Boston, and remained with him
until he became of age. He then accepted an ofi'er from
Mr. George Searle (nephew of Mr. Stephen Higginson),
and they went into business together, under the Hrm name
of "Tappan & Searle," India goods. When he mtirried,
at the age of twenty-five, he had acquired $80,000. From
1828 until 1841 he was a partner with his brother Arthur
Tappan in New York, under the firm name of Arthur
Tappan & Co. His brother established "The Journal of
Commerce" in 1828, and after a year's trial sold it to

ery movement and an organizer of " The Anti-Slavery So-
ciety." His house, No. 40 Kose street, New York, was
mobbed July 9, 1834; doors and windows were broken
open and the furniture and bedding thrown into the street
and burned. The portrait of Dr. William Aspinwall by
Gilbert Stuart, because of its resemblance to Washington,
was not destroyed. Lewis Tappan was one of the foun
ders of "The American Missionary Society" and later be-
came its treasurer. When nearly eighty years of age, he
wrote a life of his brother Arthur Tappan. He died in
Brooklyn, N. Y., June 21, 1873. This was twenty years
after the death of his wife which occurred Mar. 24, 1853,

John Sparhawk, sr., died May 28, 1889, m Philadel-

" The Evening Telegraph" of that city.

The funeral services of the late John Sparhawk were
held yesterday at his late residence. No. 3809 Chestnut
street, Philadelphia. A very large number of people
were in attendance. The services were conducted by
Rev. Henry C. McCook, D.D., assisted by Rev. Stephen
W. Dana, D.D. The pall-bearers were B. B. Comegys,
Lemuel Coffin, Hon. Robert N. Wills(m, Dr. Charles
Stewart Wurtz, Gordon Monges and Dr. Oscar H. Allis.
The music was rendered by a quartette from the Orpheus
Club.

For over fifty years John Sparhawk had bee»i connected
with the active business and religious life of Philadelphia.

72 GENEALOGY OF THE SPARHAWK FAMILY.

He died at the age of seventy-one. He was born in Phil-
adelphia, Nov. 9, 1818, on Chestnut street above Front.
He was a grandson of Dr. John Sparhawk who, along
with other representative Philadelphians, signed the fa-
mous " Non-importation Articles" against Great Britain in
1761, a copy of which is framed and hung in Independ- |
ence Hall, and which has been often regarded as the father
of the Declaration of Independence. He was a descend-
ant of Rev. John Sparhawk, one of the early Puritan pas- |
tors of the historic First church of Salem, Mass.

He began his business life early and soon rose to be a
partner in the old dry goods house of Atwood, White &
Co., afterwards White & Sparhawk. Shortly after the
war the firm, having lost heavily by reason of the failure
of their southern trade to pay the obligations due the
house, went out of mercantile business. He then estab- I
lished a law and collection office at 400 Chestnut street, in
which business he was engaged at the time of his decease.

Mr. Sparhawk was one of the organizers and charter
members of the Young Men's Christian Association of
Philadelphia. He was vice president of the Philadelphia
Bible Society, of which he had been a manager for nearly
forty years. During the war he spent a portion of every
day in the hospitals ministering to the wounded, attend-
ing to the burying of the dead and corresponding with the
relatives of sick and dying soldiers. He was appointed
by the governor slate inspector of hospitals, a position
which he held without compensation until the close of the
war.

In his religious life especially, however, he had shown
unubual fervor. He was identified with the establishment
of the first church mission enterprise in West Philadel-
})hia and at Tabor. At the time of the great revival in
1857, he conducted religious services in Jayne's Hall,

GENEALOGY OF THE SPARHAWK FAMILY. 73

Seventh and Chestnut streets, and from then up to the
outbreak of the war, he conducted special services among
the firemen at their engine houses. He was an active
teacher in Sunday schools from 1832 up to within three
months of his death. He was a devoted supporter of the
Rev. Albert Barnes, of the old First Presbyterian Church,
of Washington Square, Philadelphia, under whose min-
istry his religious life was developed.

So catholic was his spirit, however, that up to within a
short period of his death, he had occupied the position
of superintendent of a Baptist Sunday school. He had
also been very active as a visitor at the hospitals of the
University of Pennsylvania. He conducted the famous
litigation to restrain the running of the Sunday street
cars, reported in the "Pennsylvania Supreme Court Re-
ports" under the title of Sparhawk vs. the Union Passen-
ger Railway.

He was one of the handful of old and well-known Phil-
adelphia business men who have survived the early years
of the century in the business life of this community.
His faculties were unimpaired to the day of his death and
he died unexpectedly after a short ilhiess in the midst
of his business and religious usefulness. He was a man
of singular purity of character and of spotless integrity.

Mrs. Sparhawk, a woman of wonderful beauty of char-
acter, survived her husband more than a decade, dying in
Newton Centre, Mass., where her daughters still live.
Her husband was born Octol)er 30, 1806, in Portsmouth,
N. H. He was a generous-hearted boy, sensitive to the
suiferings, not of human beings alone, but of all creatures.
He was observant rather than communicative, but was
keenly appreciative of wit and quick in perceptions of
the ridiculous. Of quick and retentive memory, an exact
scholar, he showed early that clearness of judgment and
freedom from prejudice that marked him in later life. He
graduated from Dartmouth College in 1828 and from there
went to the Medical School at Harvard. He studied in
the wards of the Massachusetts Hospital under the famous
Dr. James Jackson. In after years this eminent physi-

I

cian showed his appreciation of his pupil's quick intuitions
in regard to disease, his Iceenness of observation and re-
search and that conscientiousness which made both his
practice and his life a success in the highest sense of benefit
to others. After finishing his medical studies Sparhawk
expected to begin his studies in Boston or its neighbor-
hood. And here the influence of his teacher, his friendship
with young men of his profession, of whom the world has
since heard much, would have given him advantages at the
outset of his career and congenial companionship. But
the illness of his father changed everything. Mr. Spar-
hawk was ordered by Dr. Jackson to an inland climate,
and the family went from Brookline to the little town of
Conway, N. H., as they owned land there. Conway was
not a resort in those days, it had not even expanded to
suit the wants of summer visitors, and a greater change in
the young man's prospects could hardly have taken place.
But his duty and his wishes kept him with his father dur-
ing the life of the latter.

While living in Conway he married Elizabeth Camp-
bell of Duns, Scothuid. A few years after his marriage
he went for a time to Kittery, Maine. He thought of re-
maining there and entered into negotiations for the Spar-
hawk mansion (built by Sir William Pepperrell, for his
daughter, the wife of Colonel Sparhawk). But the owner
changed his price too often and the negotiations came to
nothing. Soon after this the doctor moved to Amesbury,
Mass., where he lived from that time, the spring of 1845,
until 1872. In December, 1872, he moved to Newbury-
port a town a few miles from Amesbury, at the mouth of
the Meriimac river. In the May of 1874 he died there.
Of his four children two died early ; the oldest child, his
only son, at six and his second daughter a few weeks be-
fore at the age of two, and two daughters outlive him.

f

GENEALOGY OF THE SPARHAWK FAMILY. 81

The active part of his professional life was passed at
Amesbury. He was a very hard worker, anxious to do
his whole duty ; his reward lay in this and not in fame or
self-aggrandizement. Wherever it was a question of duty
to be done he seemed to feel as if every part belonged to
him ; but when it came to the rewards, he was full ot the
spirit of Whittier's lines :

" What matter, I or they?
Mine or another's clay?
So the right word be said
And life the sweeter made?"

But his application to his profession was too intense and
his skill in it too great, not to have made him known much
more widely than he himself dreamed of being. And so
he lived here for nearly a generation a life of ideal un-
selfishness and devotion to the poor and suffering. In the
burying ground in Amesbury there stands a simple shaft
of Scotch granite on which it is written that it was ''erected
oy the people of Amesbury and Salisbuiy" (then practi-
cally one town). On this shaft is the name of Thomas
Sparhawk, his age and the date of his death, and follow-
ing this, the tribute of his townspeople: "The beloved
physician."

His father, Samuel Sparhawk, was born in October,
1779. He showed early the bent of his character, being
inclined to seriousness and of studious habits while at the
same time he enjoyed the gayety of others. He was as a
boy thoughtful for others to a remarkable degree and to
his mother always showed a chivalrous courtesy and ten-
derness. When quite a young man he became cashier of
the bank at Portsmouth, N. H. He held this position for
a number of years, for while here he married Elizabeth
McKinstry, and in Portsmouth his three children, Oliver,
Thomas and Elizabeth, were born. W^hen the youngest
11

was an infant he went to live in Concord where a l)etter
position in the bank there had been offered to him. He
lived in Concord nearly a score of years and held his phice
as a cashier until the failure of his health led him to re-
sign it. While here he also filled for about fifteen years
the office of Secretary of State of New Hampshire, a post
not unlike that of Lieut. Governor in Massachusetts. He
was for a number of years on the board of directors of
the State's Prison. While holding this place there oc-
curred one of those incidents that over many elaborate de-
tails of life show the stuff" of which a man is made. He
was sent for one day post haste to the prison. There he
found the other directors with the warden sitting in the
directors' room which opened out upon the yard where
the prisoners in flagrant rebellion were brandishing in the
way of weapons whatever tools they could lay hands up-
on and threatening with death whoever should attack them.
The door from the directors' room into the yard was care-
fully bolted, and the pale-faced officers sat in a terror that
gave them small opportunity for consultation. A calmness
seemed to enter the room with Mr. Sparhawk. He made a
few inquiries into the cause of the rebellion, and then walk-
ing steadily up to the door, ordered the warden to open it.
The remonstrances of the others only made him repeat
the order. The heavy door was opened, and refastened
behind him, for the sight of the men in a fierceness and
fury that was savagery would have made stouter hearts
than theirs quail. At the opening of the door they all
paused involuntarily with curiosity and that appreciation
of courage which touches even brutes. With steady eyes
and unhesitating step the director walked into the midst
of them. " Put down your weapons, every man of you,
and oo straight to your cells." This command uttered
with the evenness of a perfect fearlessness, carried with it

GENEALOGY OF THE SPARIIAWK FAMILY. 83

all the force of impregnable authority. The men listened,
their weapons still raised and poised, looked at him, slowly
lowered them, and the next moment the amazed watchers
in the room saw a file of conquered men marching quietly
to their cells. In the shortest possible time they were
locked in there. The rebellion was at an end.

On leaving Concord Mr. Sparhawk again spent a win-
ter in Portsmouth, and the following spring went to Brook-
line, Mass. Here he lived until the doctor ordered him
to be taken from the sea air. He then removed to Con-
way, New Hampshire, where he owned a farm. And here
in a few years he died leaving in many hearts the memory
of a life remarkable in its purity of motive, its simplicity
and strength.

644 Elizabeth Sparhawk, daughter of Hon. Sam-
uel and Elizal)eth (McKinstr}^) Sparhawk, married Edward
Winslow, Esq., son of Isaac and Margaret (Blanchard)
Winslow, Sept. 25, 1847. (He was a grandson of the
Isaac Winslow, whose first wife was Elizabeth Sparhawk.)
He died in Newton Centre, Mass., in 1883 (May 26).
After his decease his widow continued to reside in Newton
Centre. Her last days were passed with her nieces in the
same town (children of Dr. Thomas Sparhawk) where on
April 21, 1891, she passed away. The following beautiful
account of her life appeared in "The Transcript" of Boston
and as it is most accurate and comprehensive, we quote it
in full as follows :

"It is not often that the circle of the years unite, the vivacity of
youth, the keen enjoyment of beauty in nature and the world, a zest
in the simple things of daily life, with mature thought and a deep spir-
itual life. But these gifts met in her. Her transition from gay to
grave was like that from the sunshine to the shadows of a summer's
day, alvs'ays with the consciousness of briglitness overhead. She was
full of wit, and her unfailing sense of humor made her full of bright

84 GENEALOGY OF THE SPARHAAArK FAMILY.

and amusing anecdotes. Stories of old New England daj's and cus-
toms were as fresh in lier mind as wlien she first knew them, Avhile
any droll occurrence of to-day, or the ludicrous side of any scene, pre-
sented itself to her invariably and was reproduced with a faithfulness
that made it irresistible.

But it was not these traits that made her beloved and honored by
those who knew her. Her clear and quick understanding, her loyalty
to those whom she loved, her unswerving fidelity to whatever she be-
lieved right — the sense of strength in her very presence — these were the
foundations of the attractiveness, enhanced by gifts and graces and
by the simplicity of perfect unconsciousness. No one knowing the
attachment from childhood between herself and her husband's sister
could hold the friendship of women a myth. In the long years they
spent together, until the recent death of the latter, they read and
studied many things, historic stories, biographies, travels and es-
pecially those relating to Bible lands and connected with sacred history ;
and a few years ago the two took up the study of Hebrew that they
might read at least passages in the Bible in the original. Yet so full
was she of the best of youth and brightness of spirit that a good
child's book, even of fairy stories, always interested her.

She was born at Portsmouth, N. H., a descendant of the colonial
family there and of John Sparhawk, the early minister of the old church
of Salem, Mass. From him and from other ancestors no less earnest
may have come the strength and fulness of her faith — as from a line
of women of unusual energy and power in a time in this country
when these qualities were not uncommon, there came her independence,
her staying qualities, her unconsciousness of self, and that bright
cheerfulness Avhich made the day seem sunnier, when she entered into
it. And this sunshine was in her faith also ; wliatevcr came to her was
sent ; her whole life in all its details Avas an illustration of the old
hymn —

"What God doth it is all well done;
His will upright abiding.
Since He has traced my course begun,
I will go on confiding."
In her gayety was the charm not only of real wit, but of a light-
heartedness Avith the deepest foundations ; and in her very presence
there came to one a new revelation of the strength and beauty of faith
— a wonder if, in this age of doubt, a trust so absolute did not have
its rich reward even in the eyes of men. For strength and peace,
courage and power, all were hers, all made life a blessing to others,
and now make her memory a plea for living near to heaven."

er of short stories. Chief among them may be mentioned
"Elizabeth," published in "The New England Magazine."
Also "A Lazy Man's Work, "Little Polly Blatchley," "A

hawk has also a deep interest in work among the Indians.

was performed by Rev. J. Converse, at Weathersfield, Vt.
They lived for three years in Portsmouth, N. H., and later
in 1833 removed to Hartland, Vt., in the northern por-

Colonel Cutts graduated from Harvard College in 1823,
and studied law with Hon. Jeremiah Mason. After his
removal to Vermont he practised his profession for many
years.

During that time he was Judge of the Probate Court ;
four years a member of the Vermont legislature ; three
years senator, and until his death in 1875 was Vice Presi-
dent, for Vermont, of the New Enghind Historical Gene-
alogical Society. He delivered a good many addresses
before various organizations, and contributed to the press.

86 GENEALOGY OF THE SPARHAWK FAMILY.

He left an iin published novel in manuscript form entitled
"Louisbourg," which as the title suggests had its origin in
a study of that historic event. Mrs. Cutts survived her
husband only four years, dying very suddenly in April,
1879. She had been a woman of remarkal)le energy,
and uprightness of character as well as of warm and be-
nevolent heart. At the time of the purchase of "Mount
Vernon" by the ladies of the Union she was Vice Regent
for Vermont, and labored for this patriotic cause with her
characteristic zeal and enthusiasm. After the death of
her father she wrote a volume entitled "The Life and Times
of VVm. Jarvis," Riverside Press. An edition of one
thousand copies was published of this work, and copies of
it are to be seen in the principal historical libraries.

657 Elizabeth Bartlett Jarvis married David Ev-
erett Wheeler, Esq., second son of John B. "Wheeler, Esq.,
of Orford, N. H., Feb. 14, 1833. They resided in New
York City, where Mr. Wheeler was an eminent lawyer,
having graduated from Dartmouth College in 1827, and
spending a year at the Law School in Cambridge, Mass.
In 1844 he was a member of the Assembly of New York
and a member of the Board of Education of the city. He
continued to reside there until his death.

Mrs. M. D. Lowell died in 1890. Her husband, Rev.
Rob't T. S. Lowell, was a graduate of Harvard in the
class of 1833, and, after acquiring a medical education, be-
came a clergyman in the Episcopal Church. He was es-
tablished in 1846 and 1847 in Newfoundhmd. It was at
that time he gathered the materials for his novel entitled
"The New Priest of Conception Bay." This was issued
in 1858, and again in 1863 was reissued, with illustrations
by Darle3^ In 1860 he published a volume of poems en-
titled "Fresh hearts that failed three thousand years ago."
From 1869 to 1873 he was head master of St. Mark's
School at Southboro, Mass. Afterwards he was Professor
of Latin in Union College. These are his chief works
and positions, although he did very much, and was very
highly esteemed as a writer and teacher. His death oc-
curred on the twelfth of September, 1891, a month after
the death of his brother James Russell Lowell.

eminent man were yjoih singularly fitted for his compan-
ions. Indeed his first wife was gifted as a writer of beau-
tiful poems. Her husband graduated from Harvard in
1838, and his whole life in detail has become so much the
property of the world at large that it is unnecessary to
add anything to what has been written. His poems and
prose works will live in the memory of all who read them ;
few are born to fill such eminent positions. Statesman,
diplomat, litterateur, poet, essayist, critic and professor !
All these he filled and when his earthly career was ended
in August, 1891, of none could it be more truly said the
whole world mourned his loss.

Since the commencement of this genealogy many addi-
tional facts have been received which have made it much
larger than originally expected while by no means mak-
ing it as complete as most family records. As the at-
tempt was only to gather such records as were to be had
without a prolonged research it will at once be seen that
the purpose of the C()mi)iler has ])een fully met. It is
proper to note that Mr. Henry Fitz Gilbert Waters has
discovered recently that the first wife of Nathaniel Spar-
hawk, the emigrant, was Mary Ainger, of Dedham, Essex
Co., England.

Dorothy Avery (29) was recorded as probably dying

GENEALOGY OF THE SPARHAWK FAMILY. 109

THE GOOD PHYSICIAN.

Written in memory of Dr. Thomas Sparhawk.

By Miss Margaret Winslow.

I.

I see him on his rounds

Within the village bounds,

His patient horse at every humble door

Where crammed in stifling dens,

Tiie foul, dark factory pens.

Lie, loathed by dainty sense, the suffering poor.

II.

Not loathed by that pure love,

Warm from the light above

Hastening to spend for them his heavenly gift ;

Like one who closely trod

The foot-prints of his God —

Body and soul alike, from death to lift.

III.
I see him gently raise,
The infant, frail of days,
In manly arms, asjtender as his heart ;
I see the mother laid
On soft couch, freshly made
By hands well used to act a woman's part.

IV.

I see the aged soothed

The young head softly smoothed ;

The horny hand grasped brotherly and warm ;

I see the loved home hearth,

The hospitable mirth

Left night by night, to breast the wintry storm.

V.

Far over hill and plain,

Through darkness, mist and rain,

Through biting cold and clouds of drifting suoav

Oft for no other mead

Than His who sent the need

Faithful and fearless still, I see him go.

110 GENEALOGY OF THE SPARHAWK FAMILY.

VI.

I secjliim pause at last ;

That life-long service past,

A soldier in liis duty stricken down ;

Yet beams the noble face,

Serene in passive grace,

The hoary hair of righteousness its crown.

VII.
I see, in lastjrepose.
That smile, where softly glows
The fair, bright sunshine, stooping to embrace,
Like blessings long since stored
In hearts now round him poured
From lowliest homes — that;pure and saiut-like face.

VIII.

I see the reverent throng.

The aged and the young,

The rich, the poor, Avho press around his bier;

I mark the heaving breast,

The low sob half suppressed,

The manly grief, and woman's tender tear.

IX.

And with the eye of faith.

His trust in that which saith

"Come, blessed of my Father, who have given

Food to my hungering poor,

Health to my sick and sore"

I see a king within the courts of heaven.

X.

I see the crown of light !

I know his garment bright !

I touch his golden sceptre of command ;

But whence yon garland green,

With leaves of silvery sheen

And fragrant breath, that blooms within his hand?

XL

0 prize ! than robe or crown

Or sceplre of renown

More blessed of the Father and the Son —

The leaves of lieavenly life.

To heal tlie nation's strife,

Not for himself, but myriads, he hath won.
