AUTHOR'S NOTE. 
 
 The following genealogical record of the Pepperrell 
 Family in America does not aim to be exhaustive or com- 
 plete, although in many lines it has been brought to the 
 present generation. This has been made possible by the 
 activity and interest of descendants in various collateral 
 branches. In fact, the volume is more complete than at 
 first it was expected. At some future time possibly it 
 may form the nucleus for a larger and more extended 
 record, in which may be chronicled the achievements and 
 data of each generation. 
 
 Thanks for liberal and thoughtful assistance are due to 
 Richard J. Evans, Prof. I. F. Frisbee, Clarence Bishop 
 Smith, Hiram A. Gerrish, General Nelson A. Miles, the 
 late Eliot Leighton, Esq., Woodward Emery, the Misses 
 Kennard, and Frances Leighton Gregg.

THE PEPPERRELLS IN AMERICA. 
 
 BY CECIL HAMPDEN CUTTS HOWARD. 
 
 William Pepperrell, the founder of the family of that 
 name in America, came from England in 1676, when 
 Charles I, was reigning king, to the beautiful shores of 
 what is now known as New England, and became familiar 
 with the Isle of Shoals and the coast of Maine. 
 
 He was born in 1646, in Tavistock, a town of Devonshire 
 in England, which is finely situated in the valley of the 
 Tavy. He came of an ancient lineage and gave early 
 evidence of marked abilities which were afterward to 
 make him one of the most conspicuous men of his day in 
 the Provinces and honored by all who knew him. 
 
 Frequent business trips, from the old world to the new, 
 made him acquainted with the superior advantages in 
 locating among these new surroundings, from a business 
 point of view, and he early took advantage of them. It 
 was necessary that he should rebuild his fortune and it was 
 evident that the new world offered attractions which were 
 not possessed by any point in the mother country. He 
 came on certain fishing expeditions which were sent out 
 then to the Banks of Newfoundland, and while employed 
 in these he decided to abandon the sea, and with a Mr. 
 Gibbons went into the business of curing fish at the Isles 
 of Shoals. After a few years they dissolved partnership 
 and we next find him at Kittery Point in the Province of 
 Maine. 
 
 Here, in 1660, Mr. John Bray and his family had settled, 
 coming from Plymouth in England " in the early and 
 uncertain days of the Restoration." His family was one 
 that could be traced back for many generations, and he

 held valuable estates in the old world, while adding to 
 his possessions in the new. Of Mr. Bray's several children, 
 his fair daughter Margery attracted the attention of 
 William Pepperrell and he was an earnest suitor for her 
 hand. Her father seemed opposed to the union at first, 
 chiefly, it is supposed, on account of young Pepperrell's 
 not being well established in business ; but, that obstacle 
 being removed by a series of fortunate ventures, the 
 father's consent was finally secured. They were married 
 in 1680 in the parlor of the old Bray homestead, in Kittery, 
 which is standing today unchanged, after a lapse of over 
 240 years since its erection, a splendid monument to the 
 builder. 
 
 Close at hand, Mr. Bray granted his daughter and son- 
 in-law a lot on which to build them a home, and his son- 
 in-law was taken into partnership with him. They were 
 the foremost shipwrights and merchants of the day ; their 
 wharves and warehouses were known in the old world 
 as well as the new 7 and led in business in all the colonies. 
 
 More than a hundred vessels annually visited the Grand 
 Banks, others on trading expeditions to the southern 
 ports of the colonies and the West Indies as well as to 
 European markets. 
 
 It has been said of Mrs. Margery (Bray) Pepperrell, 
 " She exemplified at once the Greek and Christian ideal 
 of beauty and her high spiritual intuition became to her 
 husband's vigorous qualities a sixth sense which enthused 
 ever his efforts with the highest purpose."* From a single 
 look at her portrait, still preserved by her descendants, 
 this is evidently not too much to say of her, and will be 
 endorsed by all who have made a study of her character. 
 
 Her husband was trained to the use of firearms 
 and military exercises, and his services were required 
 for some time at the fort on Great Island or New Castle. 
 
 There was, however, a garrison house erected and 
 maintained at " the Point " near their house to which 
 families might go when threatened by attacks from the 
 Indians. As early as 1700 a fort was erected which 
 went by Pepperrell's name. William Pepperrell had

 command which gave him the rank of Captain. He also 
 commanded the company of militia there and finally rose 
 to the rank of lieutenant colonel. 
 
 Mr. Pepperrell held the office of Justice of the Peace 
 from 1690 to 1725. In 1715 he was appointed Judge of 
 the Court of Common Pleas and continued on the bench 
 many years. 
 
 Mr. and Mrs. Pepperrell had two sons and six 
 daughters, who were born in Kitteiy Point, and all of 
 whom arrived at maturity and married. 
 
 The children were educated in an excellent manner for 
 that period, which included a faithful religious training. 
 Their parents did all they could toward perpetuating 
 public worship in Kittery, Colonel Pepperrell being one 
 of the main pillars of the church, which was organized 
 November 4, 1714. The parents and children were at 
 various times admitted as communicants and Rev. John 
 New y march was sole pastor until 1751, and died in 1754. 
 
 The elder Pepperrell admitted his eldest son, Andrew, 
 to partnership with him, under the firm name of William 
 Pepperrell and Son, but, as the young man died when he 
 was thirty-two years of age, the partnership was not of 
 long duration, and on his death it was changed to "William 
 Pepperrells,"and Colonel PepperelPs second son, William 
 Junior, admitted to partnership. This partnership was 
 unbroken for a quarter of a century ; they dealt in lumber, 
 naval stores, fish and provisions. For some years they 
 were the largest merchants in New England. Cargoes 
 were sent to the West Indies, Portugal, the Mediterranean 
 and England. Their money received was expended in 
 real estate which rapidly rose in value. They could ride 
 from Kittery to Portland, Maine, on their own estates, 
 owning among other valuable properties the greater part 
 of the towns of Kittery, Saco and Scarboro, Maine. 
 
 The elder Pepperrell passed away, January 15, 1734, 
 having long since passed his eightieth year. Every 
 attention was paid by his son that filial love could dictate 
 at the time of the funeral. It was he who ordered the 
 marble structure that still stands over the tomb where 
 his father and others of the family were buried. The 
 cost was £34 lis. 4d., and it was imported from London.* 
 
 * Parsons' Life of Sir William Pepperrell, page 30.

 The tomb and lot are still owned by his descendants who 
 have recently organized as the Pepperrell Family 
 Association and meet annually at Kittery in the summer 
 time. The valuable estates have long since entirely passed 
 out of the family, and summer hotels now reign where 
 once the hospitality of the Pepperrells was so liberally 
 dispensed. 
 
 In the will of the elder Pepperrell his bequests were 
 many, but not large, the, bulk of his property descending 
 to his only living son, William, Junior. His daughters, 
 beside their marriage portions and other advancements, 
 had five hundred pounds current money and half of his 
 household furniture after his wife's decease. Each grand- 
 child was remembered Avith from twenty to fifty pounds 
 and there were liberal bequests to the parish church and 
 distant relatives. 
 
 Madam Margery Pepperrell survived her husband for 
 seven years, dying in April, 1741, aged eighty-one years, 
 and was interred in the family tomb. An extract from 
 a notice of her death in the " Boston Post Boy " reads as 
 follows : 
 
 " She was, through the whole course of her life, very 
 exemplary for unaffected piety and amiable virtues, 
 especially her charity, her courteous affability, her 
 prudence, meekness, patience, and her unweariedness in 
 well doing. As it pleased God to afford her worldly 
 advantages, and a large capacity for doing good, so she 
 improved them to the honor of God and the service of 
 her generation ; being charitable without ostentation, and 
 making it her constant rule to do good to all as she had 
 opportunity. She was not only a loving and discreet 
 wife, and tender parent, but a sincere friend to all her 
 acquaintance. She hath left behind her one son and five 
 daughters and many grandchildren, 'who rise up and call 
 her blessed.' She was justly esteemed while living and in 
 death as much regretted. As she lived a life of faith and 
 constant obedience to the gospel, so she died with great 
 inward peace and comfort and the most cheerful resignation 
 to the will of God." 
 
 Surely no one could desire a more touching or beautiful 
 eulogy, so free from all attempt at flattery. 
 
 In her will the bequests are entirely to her children and

 grandchildren, with the exception of her sister, Mary 
 Deering.

 1 Andrew Pepperrell, the eldest son, married in 
 1707, Miss Jane Elliott, daughter of Robert and Sarah 
 (Fryer) Elliott, and resided, after his marriage, at New 
 Castle nearly opposite his father's residence. He was 
 for many years a clerk in his father's store, also a super- 
 cargo, and, at times commanded vessels and was agent 
 for mercantile houses in Europe. He was but twenty-six 
 when he married and dying in 1713, at thirty-two, had 
 accomplished much in business for a young man, rising 
 from clerk to partner with his father and filling various 
 positions with credit. His father-in-law was one of the 
 prominent citizens of that province for whom the town of 
 Eliot was named, and held many important town and 
 provincial offices in his day.

 25, 1714, married Charles Frost, son of Major Charles 
 and Mary (Bolles) Frost. She bore him several children 
 most of whom died young and her death occurred in 1749.

 2 Mary Pepperrell married Hon. John Frost, 
 second son of Major Charles and Mary (Bolles) Frost, of 
 New Castle, N. H., Sept. 4, 1702, and was the mother of 
 seventeen children. Her husband was a conspicuous 
 figure of the period. He commanded an English ship-of- 
 war at one time, held various prominent political positions 
 and, at the time of his death, February 25, 1732, was a 
 member of the Governor's Council. 
 
 Mrs. Mary (Pepperrell) Frost outlived her husband 
 thirty years, and was twice married after his death ; 
 first, to Rev. Benjamin Colman, D.D., of Boston, Aug. 
 12, 1745, and second, on Oct. 6, 1748, to Rev. Benjamin 
 Prescott, of Dan vers, Mass., where she died April 18, 
 1766, aged 81 years.

 3 Margery Pepperrell married Captain Pelatiah 
 Whittemore, Nov. 14, 1706. Captain Whittemore was 
 lost at sea, after they had been married ten or a dozen 
 years, and his widow married July 4, 1730, Judge Elihu 
 Gunnison. It is thought from an examination of various 
 records that only one of her four children lived to marry ; 
 her daughter Mary, who became Mrs. March, and is

 mentioned in the will of her grandfather Colonel William 
 Pepperrell, with her brothers, in 1733, but are not 
 mentioned in the grandmother's will six years later. Mrs. 
 Margery (Pepperrell) Gunnison is named in her mother's 
 will in 1739, but not in that of her brother (Sir William) 
 twenty years later. This is the nearest we can determine 
 the time of her death from all available records.

 6 William Pepperrell married Mary Hirst, 
 daughter of Grove and Elizabeth (Sewall) Hirst of 
 Boston, March 16, 1723. 
 
 William Pepperrell, Jr., brought his bride to the house 
 of his parents in Kittery, Maine, and added considerably 
 to it in size, so that it formed for that day one of the 
 most palatial mansions of that part of the new world. 
 The grounds adjoining it ran down to the water's edge. 
 It was not so hedged about as we see it today, with 
 unattractive surroundings, although the same wondrously 
 beautiful view presents itself, and there are ships to be 
 seen daily, as then, in the harbor. The business of young 
 Pepperrell called him frequently to Boston, and among 
 those he met there were the families of Sewall aud Hirst. 
 There he met his future wife, who was a granddaughter 
 of the famous Chief Justice Samuel Sewall of that city. 
 The Judge's daughter Elizabeth had married Grove Hirst, 
 a son of William and Mary (Grove) Hirst of Salem, 
 Mass., an eminent merchant of that day. Pepperrell 
 met Miss Hirst afterward in York, at Parson Moody's 
 house, where she visited, and he was as successful in love 
 as in business. By this marriage William Pepperrell, Jr., 
 became allied to the most prominent families in New 
 England, which gave him as much interest in other of 
 the colonies as in that in which he lived, and where he 
 did such wonderfully good business. Before the death of 
 his father in 1734, which occurred eleven years after his 
 marriage, he had been appointed to the board of Council- 
 lors in 1727, and chosen representative from Kittery, 
 which then included Eliot. He served thirty-two suc- 
 cessive years as Councillor and, in that time, for eighteen 
 years was President of the board. In 1730 he was 
 appointed Chief Justice by Governor Belcher. This office 
 he held until his death, in 1759. He qualified himself 
 for this by the purchase of an extensive law library. 
 Beside the management of a large estate, which after his 
 father's death devolved entirely upon him, and the offices 
 we have mentioned, he was Colonel of the Yorkshire 
 regiment and made every effort to have a better organiza- 
 tion, equipment and discipline of the militia under his 
 command.

 Of the four children of Colonel and Mrs. Pepperrell, 
 only Elizabeth and Andrew, the first two, survived 
 infancy. They received the very best education obtainable 
 at that day. Their mother was well qualified to direct 
 their instruction as she had been taught as had been but 
 few of the children of her day. The children both attended 
 school in Boston, where Andrew fitted for Harvard 
 College, entering in 1741. During this period their 
 parents spent much of* their time in Boston, where they 
 could supervise their children's education, and Col. 
 Pepperrell as well could attend to mercantile affairs and 
 General Court. 
 
 After the education of the children was completed, 
 they returned to Kittery for a permanent home. Colonel 
 Pepperrell, on his son's graduation, in 1743, admitted 
 him to partnership with himself, and notified mercantile 
 houses accordingly. He was doomed to disappointment 
 in his plans for his son's future career, however, for he 
 died March, 1751, after a brief illness. During young 
 Andrew's life of twenty-six years he had formed a large 
 circle of friends, and proven himself an apt scholar and 
 a successful man of business. A miniature of him when 
 a child, and a portrait in his young manhood, are still 
 preserved, and show a most attractive personality.* His 
 parents bowed submissively to this stroke and realized 
 that they had but one child, their daughter Elizabeth, on 
 whom to centre their affections and that the name of 
 Pepperrell died out with this most promising young man. 
 
 In 1742, Elizabeth Pepperrell married Hon. Nathaniel 
 Sparhawk of Boston, a well known merchant in that city. 
 
 This was nine years before the death of her brother 
 Andrew Pepperrell and three, before the event in her 
 father's life which made him historically famous. 
 
 France declared war, March 15, 1744, and England two 
 weeks after. Through that year it was a general subject 
 for conversation that Louisburg must be captured from 
 the French ; that alone would mean safety to trade and 
 navigation. It was thought that four thousand men, with 
 such a fleet as could be raised by the Provinces, would be 
 able to compel a surrender of the place.

 Finally it was agreed to make the effort ; Massachusetts, 
 Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Connecticut contributed 
 armed vessels, and Edward Tyngwho commanded a small 
 frigate of twenty-four guns was made Commodore. The 
 whole number of armed vessels was fourteen ; the armed 
 vessels and transports one hundred. In troops Massachu- 
 setts contributed three thousand two hundred and hfty ; 
 Rhode Island, three hundred, and Connecticut five 
 hundred. Governor Shirley appointed, as Commander 
 of the expedition, Colonel William Pepperrell, who, after 
 some hesitation, was prevailed upon to accept. He 
 advanced five thousand pounds to the Province from his 
 own fortune and used all his influence to make the 
 expedition successful. This command gave Colonel 
 Pepperrell the title of Lieutenant-General Pepperrell. 
 
 The first troops sailed, March 24, 1745, and their work 
 was so well done that news of the conquest was received 
 in July. The victory was celebrated in Boston, New 
 York and Philadelphia. 
 
 General Pepperrell was created a Baronet of Great 
 Britain, the first time the patent was ever conferred on a 
 native of America. 
 
 Sir William Pepperrell, as he was from thenceforward 
 known, remained at Louisburg until late in the spring of 
 1746, arriving in Boston about the first of June. From 
 there until he reached his home in Kittery he was the 
 recipient of much attention and distinguished honors. 
 On July 4, he was tendered a public dinner at the 
 Town House in Salem. In September, 1749, he 
 embarked for London where he was presented at Court 
 and King George II. gave him a cordial reception. 
 The Lord Mayor of London caused a service of plate to 
 be prepared and presented to him as a token of respect. 
 He arrived at his home in Kittery in October, 1750, less 
 than a year before the death of his son Andrew. From 
 this time forth he was engaged in looking after his 
 personal interests, and attending Court. 
 
 In 1755, he was commissioned Major-General, by the 
 King; in 1756 he was appointed by the Council, Com- 
 mander of Castle William in Boston Harbor, and of the 
 whole military forces of Massachusetts, with the rank ov* 
 Lieutenant-General. 
 
THE PEPPERRELLS IN AMERICA. 11 
 
 General Sir William Pepperrell died at his home, in 
 Kittery, Maine, July 6, 1759, just seventeen years before 
 the Revolution. He was not so old as his father, by many 
 years, at his decease, but he had seen much hard service 
 in his later years, and had been active and efficient beyond 
 most public men of his day. 
 
 His biographer, Dr. Usher Parsons,* says 
 
 "His funeral obsequies were attended by a vast 
 concourse. The drooping flags at half-mast on both 
 shores of the Pascataqua, the solemn knell from neighbor- 
 ing churches, the responsive minute guns from all the 
 batteries, and the mournful rumbling of muffled drums, 
 announced that a great man had fallen and was descending 
 to the tomb." 
 
 Rev. Dr. Stevens preached the funeral discourse on the 
 following Sabbath, which Lady Pepperrell caused to be 
 published and distributed to each member of the House 
 and Council. It has been said of him, "The word tact 
 conveys a comprehensive idea of the nature of his power, 
 a quick perception with sound common sense, derived not 
 from books, but from the study of man." 
 
 The Gentleman's Magazine of London, for September, 
 1759, contains the following notice of his decease : 
 
 "Lieut. Gen. Sir W m Pepperel, Bart; Col. of the 52 d 
 reg. of foot, at Boston in New England, aged 63. He 
 was the youngest son of W m Pepperel Esq. ; of the west 
 of England. He was bred and principally employed in 
 mercantile affairs, till 1745, when at the earnest desire of 
 the Governor and council of that and the other provinces 
 he undertook the chief command of the forces against 
 Louisbourg which he reduced after a siege of 49 days, for 
 which service he was created a baronet of Great Britain." 
 
 In his will he remembered his relatives, far and wide, 
 and the church and poor, but the bulk of his estate 
 descended to his grandchildren ; his grandson William 
 Pepperrell Sparhawk to inherit the title of Baronet on 
 becoming known as Sir William Pepperrell. 
 
 The life of this eminent and worthy man has been fully 
 delineated by Dr. Usher Parsons and to that work and

 March of Newburyport, Mass. We have only one child 
 recorded, though there may have been more : 
 
 115. Susan, b. 1760; ra., 1776, Com. John Evans. 
 
 31 Joel Whittemore was " a lieutenant on half pay 
 living at Kittery Point."* The only record that can be 
 found so far of his marriage, is that in his uncle's will 
 where his children are named, but no descendants are 
 known today in the male line from this branch of the family. 
 It is probable that he died before his uncle, Sir William, 
 as he is not mentioned in the latter's will, in 1759, and 
 apparently all of Sir William's living nephews and nieces 
 and other kinsfolk are recorded in that document. 
 
 32 Margery Jackson married John Gerrish, Nov. 
 21, 1734. He was a son of Col. Timothy and Sarah 
 (Elliott) Gerrish, and born Feb. 6, 1710-11, in Dover, 
 N. H., and died in 1749. Through his mother he was a 
 descendant of Robert Elliott, one of the distinguished 
 colonial pioneers.

 34 Elizabeth Jackson married Hale. In the 
 
 will of Sir William Pepperrell he mentions the children 
 of his kinswoman Eliza Hale, but, we have found no 
 record of their names or descendants. 
 
 36 Dorothy Jackson married Deny Pitman. In 
 the will of her uncle, Sir William, Mrs. Pitman is named 
 but it is evident that her husband was not then living, and 
 perhaps no children.* 
 
 40 William Tyler died unmarried . He is not 
 mentioned in the will of his uncle, Sir William, but in 
 Parsons' Life of Sir William Pepperrell there is given 
 an excellent letter from him to his cousin Andrew 
 Pepperrell, in a humorous vein which shows that he was 
 living in Boston nine years before his uncle's death. 
 
 41 Andrew Tyler married Mary Richards. He 
 inherited the library of his father at the latter' s decease, 
 and was pastor in Dedham, Mass., 1743 (having graduated 
 in 1738, from Harvard), preached for thirty years and was 
 finally dismissed for being too zealous in the Royal cause. 
 He died in Boston in 1775. 
 
 The New England Historic Genealogical Society of 
 Boston are in possession of excellent portraits in oil of 
 himself and wife. 
 
 Of their nine sons several remained in the vicinity of 
 Boston, and others removed to Deer Island, Maine, where 
 they became early and conspicuous settlers. f 
 
 This line of descendants of Andrew Tyler, sen., was 
 the only one to leave male issue, and though not now 
 a numerous branch it is considerably in excess of any of 
 the lines founded by Capt. Thos. Tyler, the immigrant. 
 
 A coat of arms was granted to them in 1774, and is one 
 of the few really indisputable American coats. Tyler 
 street in Boston was named for this family and 
 representatives of the family are buried in King's Chapel 
 churchyard and the Granary burying-ground.

 44 Katharine Tyler married Captain David 
 Ochtolony, son of the Laird of Pitforthy, Alexander 
 Ochtolony of Montrose, Scotland, who died in the Island 
 of St. Vincent, 1765. 
 
 There is an ancient dwelling house called the "Ochtolony 
 Adau house," situated on North Street, Boston. It was 
 erected early in the 17th century, and is evidently the 
 estate mentioned in 1766 in the inventory of the estate 
 of Miriam, widow of Andrew Tyler : — 
 
 " The Mansion House and lands with outhouses and 
 appurt'ces, £920." 
 
 The Tylers resided here fort} r years, when it passed to 
 Capt. David Ochtolony, the husband of Katharine Tyler.' 4 
 The Captain died here. 
 
 His widow married Sir Isaac Heard, and moved to 
 London. Portraits of them may be seen in the rooms of

 distinguished son Sir David Ochtolony. 
 
 Sir Isaac Heard was Narroy King of Arms, and 
 Gentleman of the Red Rod to the Order of the Bath. He 
 died in 1822, aged 92, leaving no children, and was buried 
 in Windsor Chapel. 
 
 There is a tradition connected with the ancient Boston 
 residence to the effect that when Paul Revere was starting 
 for his midnight ride an emergency arising for mufflers 
 for his oars, upon calling for some substitute at this house 
 he was handed out a " yet warm " petticoat, which 
 effectively silenced (for the time being) his daring aquatic 
 exploit.

 48 Elizabeth Pepperrell married Nathaniel 
 Sparhawk, May 1, 1742, an eminent merchant of Boston, 
 son of Rev. John and Priscilla (Hemans) Sparhawk, 
 whose father was a prominent clergyman of Bristol, R. I. 
 Her father provided for them the elegant and commodious 
 mansion not very far from his own dwelling, now standing, 
 and known as the "Sparhawk mansion," the materials for 
 which, as well as the costly furnishings, were largely 
 brought from England. It is by far the most elegant 
 specimen of colonial architecture standing today, and 
 has been for years the admiration of architects and all 
 who have seen it. 
 
THE PEPPERRELLS IN AMERICA. 21 
 
 Of Elizabeth Pepperrell it is said by Dr. Parsons in 
 his life of her father, "Few if any of the belles of her 
 day possessed equal attractions. An heiress of rare 
 accomplishments and winning manners, high-bred 
 connections, and the only daughter of a distinguished 
 merchant, high in official station, military, political and 
 judicial, and withal a lady of sound religious principles 
 abounding in Christian graces she was truly f a gem of the 
 first water.' " Her father sent to England for her wedding 
 outfit, which is well described in the following letter 
 which is still preserved. 
 
 " Pascataqua in New England, 
 October 14th, 1741. 
 Francis Wilks, Esq. : Sir — Your favors of ye 16 th May and 24 th 
 June last, I received by Capt. Prince, for which am much obliged to 
 you. Inclosed you have a receipt for 26 ps of gold, weighing 20 ozs, 
 which will be delivered you, I hope, by Capt. Robert Noble, of ye ship 
 America, which please to receive and cr. to my account with ; and 
 send me by ye first opportunity, for this place or Boston, Silk to make 
 a woman a full suit of clothes, the ground to be white paduroy and 
 flowered with all sorts of coulers suitable for a young woman — 
 another of white watered Taby, and Gold Lace for trimming of it; 
 twelve yards of Green Paduroy ; thirteen yards of Lace, for a 
 woman's Head dress, 2 inches wide as can be bought for 13s. per 
 yard ; a handsome Fan with a leather mounting, as good as can be 
 bought for about 20 shillings ; 2 pr. silk shoes, and cloggs a size 
 bigger than ye shoe. 
 
 Your servant to command, 
 
 William Pepperrell."* 
 
 The descendants of herself and husband today are 
 divided into two branches, of about equal numbers, first 
 the descendants of their third son William Pepperrell 
 Sparhawk, who was the inheritor of the title and the most 
 valued possessions of his distinguished grandfather and 
 who left for England in Revolutionary times and, second, 
 the descendants of their second son Nathaniel Sparhawk, 
 who remained in America. 
 
 Col. Nathaniel Sparhawk and his wife were both laid 
 in the family tomb at Kittery. The best portrait of him 
 is now in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, one of Copley's

 masterpieces. Owing to Revolutionary disturbances their 
 valuable possessions are now widely scattered and only a 
 small portion are now owned by descendants. Many have 
 been destroyed accidentally by tire, yet enough remains to 
 show the character and eminent ability and the almost 
 royal style in which they lived.
