She tells how vain The pride that lurks in gorgeous monuments. The pyramid, the stained sarcophagus, Betray their trust. Still, there's a life that lives Amid the mouldering clay, and silent clings To human sympathies. We speak to them Who speak no more, — and listen for their words, Forgetful that the interminable veil Is drawn between us. Yet they have a voice, A tombstone witness to the holy truths That cannot die ; and may our pulseless hearts Wear worthily the dear Redeemer's sign, — "Yea, saith the Spirit, — blessed are the dead That die in Him." L. H. S. @ @ Stttrnlmttinii. There arc few passages in the Scriptures more touching than the simple and unadorned narrative of the visit of our Lord Jesus Christ to tlie afflicted family in Bethany, when he met Martha, while her sister Mary " rose up hastily and went out" to the grave of Lazarus, to weep there. It teaches us to hallow the spot where our departed friends repose. The Hebrew has ever been noted for regarding with venera- tion the sepulchres of his ancestors — a trait of character con- nected with love of country, filial affection, and all the endear- ments of domestic life. To this day, the devout sons of Abraham, wherever in the wide worid they may dwell, look forward to a pilgrimage to Palestine, as the great and most sacred act of their lives ; and often the aged Jew seeks to lay his bones in Judea, where his fathers sleep. Altiiough a dark cloud now rests on that doomed land, yet numerous are the monuments and sepulchres which environ the holy city ; and the " tombs of the kings" and the burial-caves of the patriarchs attract the notice of every traveller, and awaken his sympathy. The Greeks were no less remarkable for paying iionors to tlie dead. Their obsequies did not cease at the burial. They cherished the memory of their friends with monumcnUs and in- scriptions, and sanctified the place of interment witli a venera- tion which might raise a blush in some Christian mourners in our own land. The Via Sacra, from Athens to Eleusis, passed by Ceramicus, their public cemcter}', where the ruins of many splendid sepulchres are still extant. viii fintroliuctfon. Nor were the Romans less distinguished for this sacred and refined respect for the ashes of tlieir ancestors. They buried their dead near the great highways, so that their memory might be ever before them ; from whence comes Siste, viator — Pause, traveller, at this spot Lofty sepulchres and marble mon- uments still survive among the ruins of the Eternal City, on the Appian Way. Whose heart does not burn within him, when he reads in Cicero — when he was quaestor in Sicily — of his discovery of the tomb of Archimedes among thorns and briers, with the cylinder and sphere upon it, which Marcellus had raised to his memory nearly two centuries before .' The preservation of the memory of our ancestors by tomb- stones and monuments in hallowed spots is honorable to our nature, and conducive to the cultivation of better and holier feelings. We are too apt to forget the lives and characters of those who adorned the circle of another generation; and, amidst the cares of life, and the absorbing pursuits of the hour, friends and connections once dear to society, when they have left us, are too often buried in tlie grave of oblivion. Every step, therefore, which tends to bring them up to memory, and recall their actions when alive, though it may appear a humble labor in itself, is valuable in its influence. " It is wise for us to recur to the history of our ancestors. Those who are regardless of their ancestors and of their pos- terity — who do not look upon themselves as a link connecting the past with the future, in the transmissions of life from their ancestors to their posterity — do not perform their duty to the world. To be faithful to ourselves, we must keep our ances- tors and posterity within reach and grasp of our thoughts and affections — living in the memory and retrospection of the past, and hoping with affection and care for those who are to come after us. We are true to ourselves only when we act with be- coming pride for the blood we inherit, and which we are to transmit to those who shall soon fill our places." — Daniel Webster's Speech, Dec. 22, 1845. With feelings, therefore, which are canonized by the good © © fintrolitictfon. " and great of all countries, and of every age, we may approach the subject matter of this volume of epitaphs, gathered by a humble gleaner in the fields of the dead -the dead who he m one of the ancient churchyards of the Pilgrims of New England. The favorable reception of the "Inscriptions on the Gravestones in Northampton" is a harbinger that such labor will not be in vain. The venerable cemetery on Copp's Hill is worthy of the researches of the antiquary; for there many of the fathers of New EnMand were buried. With perseverance and much pains-taking, he has pursued his object, and has collected a large number of epitaphs and inscriptions, some of which are connected with historical events, and others with the early pros- perity of Uiis city. Many families, too, are personally inter- ested in this garden of the dead; for there their progemtors repose, where the rains and the frosts are fast obliterating every impression of lithography. In this manner a record may be handed down to other tunes, and a permanent transcript preserved, when the marble slab, the heraldic monument, and the fading slate have crumbled into dust. Surely, then, such an enterprise desferves a liberal en- couracrement. Like ourselves, tlie ancient Jews wrote then: inscriptions on slabs of marble, and placed them upright at the graves of the deceased, when more splendid monuments were not erected. But the stone and tlie marble have long since mouldered into dust, and few sepulchres can now be identified. There was then no ttpe in existence to give an everlasting duration to their names. The Valley of Jehoshaphat was the great place of burial for the inhabitants of Jerusalem. It ex- tends from the Mount of Olives to Mount Moriah, and is full of sepulclires. In its deptha are the Brook Cedron and the Pool of Siloam. Next to the holy sepulchre, no spot in Palestine is more solemnized by sacred reminiscences ; yet, with the ex- ception of the tombs of David, Absalom, and a few oUiers, the darkness of oblivion rests on this valley of the dead. The sweetest remembrances and highest motives to Christian © = @ @ fintvoliuctron. xi rising hills " of peculiar form. The weight of historic evidence seems to be in favor of the last derivation. Indeed, Johnson, in his " Wonder-working Providence," compared Beacon Hill, witli its two hillocks, to the head and shoulders of a man, and therefore called the place Trca-mont ; and William Wood, in his book called "New England's Prospect," printed in 1(>J4, says, " To the north-west is a high mountain, witli three little rising hills on tlie top of it ; wherefore it is called Tramount." The same writer says of Boston, " His situation is very pleasant" Fort Hill, Beacon and Copp's Hills were all distinguished in our colonial history. On Fort Hill, Andros, the tyrant gov- ernor under James H., was imprisoned, "bound in chains or cords," in the castle built there about 1640, until he was sent home to England. This ragged cliff, as it then appeared, commanded the harbor. It was anciently called Corn Hill, and was once the site of an Indian fort. Beacon Hill was in tlie form of a sugar loaf, 138 feet in height from the water ; on tlie summit was a tall, stout mtist, secured by supporters, with treenail steps, and a barrel of tar on tlie top, forming a beacon. In times of danger this was guarded by a sentinel, ready to light it at a moment's alarm. From this circumstance it was called at first Sentry Hill. The view from this height was very extensive. The beacon to which it owes its permanent name was blown down in a vio- lent storm in November, 1789 ; and the year following, a Doric column of brick and stone, sLxty feet high, surmounted by a large gilt eagle, was erected under a subscription by tlie Bos- tonians. On the four sides of tlie pedestal, some of tlio leading events of the revolution were inscribed upon marble slabs ; — the stamp act when passed and repealed, — the destruction of the tea, — battles of Lexington, Bunker Hill, Saratoga, and surrender at Yorktown, — and tlie confederation, independence, peace, and forming the constitution were among the subjects commcinoratod. For several years this column stcod as a proud monument of glory, until tJiken down and the mountain wliere it stood levelled to enlarge the narrow territory of the growing place. (O) © @ © xii Kntrotiuction. Beacon Hill was conveyed by the town of Boston to John Hancock, Esq., by deed, August 6, 1811. The lot is described in the deed as sLx rods square. It was bounded east and west by Bowdoin and Hancock Streets, and north and south by Mount Vernon and Derne Streets ; and had Temple Street been laid out at that time, it would have run directly over the brow of this hill, and included the monument ; which may give the stranger and the young of this day a more accurate idea of the locality of this eminence ; for every feature of its position is now utter- ly effaced. Stately houses and handsome streets occupy or surround its site, once so memorable as a watch-tower. But the monument, with its pictorial features and historic inscrip- tions, still exists, recorded in the page of our country's annals, which neither frost, nor rain, nor the innovations of modern improvement can efface — a convincing argument of the henefit which a hiimhle ivork, like this, on Copp's Hill Burying-ground may render to other times. It may be well to remark, that Mr. Hancock caused the mon- ument to be removed soon after the execution of his deed from the town, as he himself infomied the writer of this introduction. The marble slabs and the gilt eagle were excepted in the pur- chase. The four slabs were deposited in a recess on the ground floor at the north-eastern part of the State House, where they are annexed to the wall. They are four feet four inches long, by three feet three inches wide. The eagle has been placed over the speaker's chair in the Hall of the Representatives ; and there may this mute but national emblem of our glory excite all hearts to preserve our Union inviolate and forever. Copp's Hill, in 1G30, is thus described by Dr. Snow in his History of Boston, p. 105: "The hill at the north, rising to the height of about fifty feet above the sea, presented there on its north-west brow an abrupt declivity, long after known as Copp's Hill steeps. Its summit, almost level, extended between Prince and Charter Streets towards Christ's Church. Thence south a gentle slope led to the water, which washed the south side of Prince Street below, and the north side above Thacher (O) - - @ Kntrotiuctfon. xiii Street as far as Salem Street. Eastward from the clmrch, a gradual descent led to the North Battery, which was considered tlie bottom of tlie hill. South-easterly tlie slope was still more gradual, and terminated at the foot of the North Scjnare, leaving a knoll on the right, where at present stands the meeting-house of the Second Church." Copp's Hill rose gradually from Hudson's Point, so called from William Hudson, who owned it in 1635. This point and part of the hill were once the property of Joshua Gee, and Gee's^ noted shipyard lay at the foot of the hill northerly, a short dis- tance from his house in Prince Street. It was afterwards ased for a fortification, and called the North Battery. On the hill. Admiral Graves raised a battery of six guns and howitzers, and opened a fire on the American works in Charlestown, on the 17th of June, 1775. Charlestown was set on fire by bomb- shells thrown from this height, and by a body of marines, who landed in the easterly part of that toAvn from the Somerset frigate. The scene has been described by writers with terrific splendor, while tlie battle of Bunker Hill was kindling that blaze of glory which finally triumphed in the deliverance of an oppressed people, and in the foundation of a great empire. The first burying-ground, as it is said, laid out in Boston, was the King's Chapel Cemetery ; for in the south-west corner of it, Isaac Johnson, the owner of a large tract there, was buried at his particular request. " He was a prime man among us, and ma(fb a godly end," Governor Winthrop remarked. Indeed, he was the principal founder of Boston — the fidus Achates of Winthrop, and was looked up to by Mm and the colonists as a guide. Mr. Johnson was the happy partner of Lady Arbella, whose early and untimely death was deeply lamented. He fol- lowed her September 30, U)29, before the name of Tri-inoun- tain was changed to Boston, whicli was September 7, 1(>30. Copp's Hill Burying-ground was the second place of inter- ment. It was purchased by tlie town for this purpose in lt)5!). The spot was originally owned by William Copp. On the hill once stood a windnull, which, in August, KW^, was removed @ - — @ @ (s) xiv Jrllt ro"!J UCt f OH. from Watertown, because " it would not grind with a westerly wind." It was called from this circumstance Windmill Hill, and afterwards took the name of Snow's Hill ; eventually Copp's Hill, from William Copp, became its permanent name. Mr. Copp's realty is thus recorded, page 15, in the " Original Book of Possessions " of the town of Boston, now kept in the archives of the city at the City Hall. " The possession of William Copp within the Limits of Bos- ton. One house and lott of halfe an Acre in the Mill pond bounded wth Thomas Buttolph south-east : John Button north- east : the marsh on the south-west : and the River on the north- west." The above is not dated, but there is reason to believe it was entered in 1644. In the Probate Office for the county of Suffolk, there is a record of the will of William Copp, cordwainer. It was dated October 31, 16G2, and proved April 27, 1G70. Among the items of bequest are the following : " I give to my daughter Rutli my great kettle, little pot and chaffen dish." — "I give to Lydia uiy little kettle and great pot." In the inventory is a line appraising " 1 hour glass and frying pan, 12 shillings." The amount of the inventory was almost £110 — no contemptible sum nearly two centuries ago. Copp's Hill Avas formerly claimed by the Ancient and Hon- orable Artillery Company under a mortgage, which was finally discharged. Sliaw, in his " Description of Boston," published in 1817, says that Mr. Copps was an elder in Dr. Mather's church ; but erroneously, for he had several children, and it was his eldest son David who filled that office. His wife's name, Judith, is spelt Goodeth on the gravestone, and also in his will. The foregoing origin of the name of Copp's Hill agrees with Snow's and Shaw's statements ; but in the " History of the An- cient and Honorable Artillery Company," by Zachariah G. Whit- man, is the following sentence, where he speaks of Nicholas Upshall : " Close beside him lay the gravestones of his wife @ — (§) fintroliuctf on . x' Dorotliy and friend Obadiah Copp, from whom the liill is named." This must be the bhinder of a careless compiler. Yet it shows how little is known of the man whose name is immortalized by tliis hill, where so many illustrious patriarchs sleep. Since the appearance of Copp's Hill in 1G30, as described by Dr. Snow, the features of the place have undergone a frreat change. Houses, streets, and wlian'es environ it ; and the only open space is an area of about three acres, forming the cemetery, and including a lot of half an acre or more, bought by the town in 1806, and separated from the original burying- ground by a handsome granite wall. The whole is surrounded by a high, durable, and ornamental fence of iron. The grounds have been laid out in regular alleys and gravel patlis, and em- bellislied with a great variety of native forest-trees, some of wiiich are of stately growth. The gravestones of many gener- ations have been raised up, and numerous seats located under shady branches, where the aged and weary may pause, and the mourner find a quiet resting-place. Yet it is to be lamented, that the mounds and hillocks of the dead have been cut down to an unnatural level, and so many stones misplaced to form a geometrical row on the borders of the paths. This mode of restoring and adorning an ancient churchyard is singular ; and to speak of it kindly, and not in anger, it certainly w;is not tlie act of good taste. This cemetery is now bounded nortli by Charter Street, west by Snow Hill Street, and soutli by Hull Street ; tlie eaist is bordered by blocks of handsome brick houses, which shut out the picturesque view of the harbor, so attracting in olden time. Indeed, this airy spot, once so rich in scenery, is almost en- closed by buildings. Some years ago, tlie western mirgin was cut down nearly twenty feet, and a perpendicular wall erected, making the eastern border of Snow Hill StrecL Formerly, before this side was dug down, tlierc was a small rise of tlic land to the west of some seven feet higher. This formed the brow of an eminence with a very steep and abrupt bank to the @ © xvi Jtntrotiuction. shore. From this lofty height the prospect of the harbor, Charles River, and adjacent country must have been expansive and magnificent. Here the British threw up a small fort and erected a battery, from which they directed their fatal shells in the burning of Charlestown. At the north and north-west there is an open space, through which part of Charlestown heights and the Navy Yard are visible ; and by taking a stand a little east from the western boundary, the majestic Obelisk on Bunker Hill becomes visible, looming up in solitary grandeur, and bringing to mind the words of the Great Orator, when the corner stone of this monument was laid by the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, June 17, 18Q5 : " Let it rise ! let it rise ! till it shall meet the sun in its com- ing — let the earliest light of the morning gild it, and the part- ing day linger and play on its summit ! " In the vicinity of the burying-ground, about seventy yards eastwardly from the south-east corner, is Christ Church, the corner stone of which was laid April 15, 1723. A chime of eight bells was added in 1744. Under it is a cemetery of thirty-three tombs. The venerable Dr. Eaton, formerly rector of this church, in a discourse delivered December 28, 1823, gives an interesting history of its origin, and relates an anecdote somewhat singular : the sprigs of evergreen I have Italicized. " The following fact, which in some ages would have excited the superstitious veneration of ignorance and bigotry, may be worth recording. Some years since, in 1812, while the work- men were employed in the cemetery building tombs, one of them found the earth so loose that he settled his bar into it the whole length with a single effort. The superintendent directed him to proceed till he found solid earth. About six feet below the bottom of the cellar he found a coffin covered with a coarse linen cloth, sized with gum, which on boiling became white, and the texture as firm as if it had been recently woven. Within tliis coffin was another, protected from the air in a sim- ilar manner, and the furniture was not in the least injured by time. The flesh was sound, and somewhat resembling that of itntrotiuctton. xvii an Egyptian mummy. Tlie skin, when cut, appeared like leather. The sprigs of evergreen, deposited in the coffin, resem- bled die broad-leaved myrtle ; the stem was elastic, the leaves fresh, and apparently in a state of vegetation. From the inscrip- tion it was found to be the body of Mr. Thomas, a native of New England, wlio died in Bermuda. Some of his family were among tlie founders of Christ Church. Ilis remains, when dis- covered, had been entombed about eiglity years. They now rest in the north-east corner of the cemetery, and the stone so long concealed from observation is placed over them." — Shaw, p. 251), note. Dr. William Walter officiated as rector of this church from 1792 to 1800, of whose death Bishop Samuel Parker, D. D., of Trinity Church, who died in 1804, remarked, tliat "religion mourns the loss of one of her most obedient cliildren and bright- est ornaments." It is wortliy of observation tliat in Christ Churcli was the first monument ever erected to the memory of Wasliington in America. Shaw * describes it, " at the east end of the cliurch on the side of the chancel, with a bust well executed by an Italian artist." The steeple of this church commands a rich prospect. It is said that Governor Gage ascended here to gaze at tiie confla- gration of Charlostown, and tlie battle of Bunker Hill. Tlie cemetery on Copp's Hill was much injured during the revolutionary war. From an adjacent battery tlie soldiers used some of the gravestones for targets, mutilated others, whenever • Charles Shaw, Esq., author of the " History of Boston," was bom in Bath, Maine, and took his degree at Harvard University, 1805, with the second part in his class and a high reputation as a scliolar. He studied law witli Nathaniel Coffin, Esq., of Bath, practised some years in Jefferson, Lincoln county, and afterwards went to Mont- gomery, in Alabama, where he was appointed a judge, and died. He was a man of elegant taste, excelled in his knowledge of the Latin language, — being, it was said, among the uncommonly few who could scan Horace with a musical cadence. Though a poet and a fine writer, he only left this little work in memoriam.

But the worst enemy to the memory of the dead — disgraceful as it may ap- pear — Avas among our own citizens. For within a few years, some of the slabs — solemnly inscribed as they were — individ- uals carried off with impunity to cover drains, make foundations for chimneys, lay at the bottom of tombs for coffins to rest on, or at their mouths to close up the aperture. There was a period in the burial history of our country which reflects no honor on a Christian land ; especially when we re- member that the Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans, and even the Turks, in their cypress-planted cemeteries, ever honored the ashes of the dead. It seemed not enough to erect temples to God, without regard to any order of architecture, without form or comeliness, looking like steepled barns, and then to use them for unholy purposes and town meetings ; but, in too many instances, the very churchyards were neg- lected, unfenced and uncared for, the graves exposed to horses, cattle, and dogs, not a tree nor a flower suffered to shade or bloom there, and neither walk nor path laid out among the falling, straggling stones, for the pensive mourner to muse over a loved one, or drop a tear over his grave. The sexton appeared to be the only frequent visitant to the spot ; the first with his spade and pick to disturb the solitude of the scene after the funeral procession had buried the dead out of their sight and gone home. This is no colored nor fanciful descrip- tion of hundreds of village churchyards, witliin twenty years past, on the hills and in the valleys of New England. Are •there not, even at this day, such desecrated spots of burial in some of our neighboring cities 1 Let Worcester and Roxbury answer ! If the manes of departed worth could speak from their dishonored graves, they would envy even the fate of Pali- nurus in his watery tomb, — " Nudus in igiiota, Palinure, jacebis arena." But, thank Heaven, a change is coming over the land. It is @ ■© -1^ finttolJuction. not in Mount Auburn alone, nor at Laurel Hill in Philadelphia, nor on Green Mount in Baltimore, nor in tlic Greenwood Cem- etery in New York, nor in the time-honored churchyard at New Haven, where a more enlightened taste and holier feelings pre- vail. A degree of veneration is awakened, and a regard for the sanctuary of the grave is more generally felt in the busy world. We have begun to honor the aslies of the dead, and their mem- ory is cherislicd from the simple green mound, adorned with shrubs and flowers, to the solid granite and architectural mar- ble of the costly tomb. It soothes the heart of the mourner of refined feelings to think, when he walks in the valley of tlie shadow of death, that his beloved ones are not forgotten. It is remarkable that, amidst such desecration of tliese ancient memorials on Copp's Hill, so many epitaphs escaped destruc- tion, and can be identified ; for in addition to losses thus sus- tained, very many gravestones have been removed, with the remains they guarded, to churchyards in distant places, tiiere to be preserved with reverence. A singular instance of depravity, however, did occur in Copp's Hill Burying-ground. Here once rested the bones of Thomas Hutchinson, — father of Governor Hutchinson, —one of the greatest benefactors of this city and country, and also the bones of his father Elisha, son of t!ie famous Edward Hutch- inson, who fell in an attack of the Indians at Quabaog, in Brookfield, and a descendant from the celebrated Ann and her husband. Governor William Hutchinson, of Rhode Island. Their bones are now scattered before the four winds of heaven ! Their tomb lias passed into the hands of strangers. Over tlicir beautiful coat of arms their name has been expuns:ed, and tJie name of Thomas Lewis inserted ! One would think that decency — if there were a drop of modest blood to curdle round the heart at such a thought-of baseness — would at least have discovered some veneration for our departed patriots, if the sanctuary of the tomb, which all nations have respected, had no inlluence. Even the poor In- dian, by whom Uie sepulchral mounds in his fatlierland have ©^ © — -— — @ XX Entroiuction. ever been regarded with the loftiest feelings of reverence, Avould have raised his tomahawk to cut off the sacrilegious hand which dared to violate the home of his honored dead. An infamous custom has prevailed among some of the sextons in this city of speculating in tombs. Finding a poor widow, or dilapidated heir, having a share or fractional interest in some old tomb under his care, the grave-digger, aware of the absence or death of the principal owner, and that "a living dog is bet- ter than a dead lion," purchases it for a trifle, seizes the whole by prescription, or threats of the law, calls it his own, erases tlie family name, clears out the sacred relics which lie tliere, and then makes a trade of his mortmai7i right, by selling a berth for dead strangers in the city, at eight, or ten, or twelve dollars apiece, as the case may be. This has been repeatedly done on Copp's Hill, King's Chapel, and other burial-grounds in the city. Nor is this all. After the tombs have been filled up by the re- mains of strangers, tlieir corpses have been carted out of town in the night season, or buried in a hole dug at the bottom of the tomb, pounded down in one horrid, hideous mass, and covered over, to make way for more death-money. An aged gentleman of respectability, residing near Copp's Hill, told me he has seen loads of broken-up coffins removed from tombs thus desecrated ; and a lady in this city recently remarked that within fifteen years she was in that cemetery, and there saw a collection of cofiins heaped up for removal ; on the fragments of one of which skin and hair adhered — the hair black and glossy — the long, fine hair of a female ; and she shuddered and turned away from the spectacle ! In King's Chapel Burying-ground, there is a tomb on the north side, near a window of the room of the Massachusetts Historical Society, where the sexton, lately deceased, thus used it for speculation, erased the family name on the great brown stone tablet, and put his own in its place. Such sacrilege is outrageous. It almost makes the blood boil with indignation. Is the law against profanity of the dead a mere spider's web, made by the weak to favor the wicked .-' © © Kntrotructfon. xxi What would be tlie feelings of the tender mother, or affectionate daughter, in the days of their mourning, should it be told them, " The grave is no resting-place for the dead ; the sacred ashes of a husband or father will one day be scattered by the hand of the sexton, and a greedy, unprincipled grave-digger will claim your ancestral tomb for a mere pittance, and turn it into a mercenary charnel-house to suit his purposes " ? If there be any doubt of the facts here stated, let the records of the Probate Office in Boston be searched for twenty years past. It will there be seen how many sextons have left a leg- acy of tombs in their will, as a profitable investment to their heirs. Names could be mentioned, but I forbear. Will not "A Sexto.n of the Old School" point his heavy artil- lery against tliis abomination ? It ought to be investigated and denounced, so that no speculator in tombs and bones would dare to show his head among a church-going people. Let the city authorities look to this matter, and put a stop forever to a species of merchandise, next only to that of Burking for the dissecting room ! Copp's Hill Burying-ground is a locality full of reminis- cences. It is pleasing to observe, that the city authorities have sought to preser\'e the garden of the dead, and put it under the care of a faithful person. It has been furnished with a Cochituate fountain, and has become a favorite place of prom- enade to citizens in the nortiiem part of tlie city, remote from tlie refreshing walks of our beautiful Mall. It is worthy of the stranger's notice ; more especially if he feel interested in the antiquities of tliis city. He will see tombs with heraldic insig- nia of other times carved on the tablets ; those of Hutciiinson, Mountford, Goodrich, Gee, Clark, Lee, and Greenwood wUl arrest his eye. Nor can he pass unobserved the venerable, tune-touched sepulchres of those Reverend and revered men, Andrew and John Elliot, Increase, Cotton, and Samuel Mather, learned doctors of divinity, scholars of note and jjastors of ce- lebrity in their day, with whom tlie history of New England is, and forever will be, associated. Here their remains have long xxii Entroliuction. slept, unconscious of the thunders which shook this hill in 1775, and of the tread of thousands of visitors to this spot, and of the voices of many a playful school, which for nearly three gen- erations of national prosperity have echoed near their silent mansion of death. Friend and foe, female loveliness and in- fantile beauty, here lie side by side ; in a word, here is the dust of many a daring, lion-hearted, devout first settler in the town of Shawmut, now the expanding city of Boston. He will see one gravestone where Grace Berry lies beneath, singularly shaped, and marked by the bullets of a British foe before the evacuation of Boston, when unholy hands used it for a target ; in another spot is the slab, which designates the ashes of Nicholas Upshall, of the Ancient and Honorable Ar- tillery, a public-spirited man, persecuted for religious opinions among a religious people ; and a little farther off stands a me- morial to Captain Thomas Lake, an early settler, and large pro- prietor in Maine, " an eminently faithful servant of God," who was slain by the Indians, at Kennebec, August 14, 1670. While meditating among the tombs in this shady necropolis, he may observe in the south-west corner a large and stately monument of granite, over a capacious sepulchre, dedicated to seamen of all nations, by the Rev. Phineas Stowe, pastor of the First Baptist Bethel Church in Boston, 1851 — a generous and highly honorable testimony of respect to that noble and too little valued class of our citizens. And from this spot let him, as he muses from grave to grave along these gravelled walks, turn to the north-east angle of the cemetery, where he will see a marble pyramid over the tomb of Ellis, and by its side, witliin the iron railing, a wide-spread weeping willow. Siste, viator. Traveller, pause ; for that willow casts no vulgar shade. It is an exotic. It grew up from a shoot taken from that lonely tree which hangs over tlie deserted grave of the great Napo- leon at St. Helena ; and it needs no poetry of the heart to feel, as we gaze upon the umbrage, as if every sea breeze from the eastern world touched its leaves with sorrow, and called forth a train of mournful re flections at the fate of that v/onderful man ! I =@ Sntcoliuctfon. xxiii The compiler of this book of Epitaphs has spared no pains to verify tiie facts he has published. He has sought the aged, and listened to their early recollections ; he has caused many an old gravestone, buried beneath tlie sod, to be dug up and carefully examined ; and he has descended into vaults, and from thence brought uphidden treasures. The work he has done will be valuable, because it will tend to perpetuate names and dates, which a icw years more would render it difficult to resuscitate, and which the antiquary of another generation might explore in vain among the fugitive landmarks of tradition. What Old Mortality accomplished witli hammer and chisel on the tomb- stones of the Covenanters he has endeavored to perform witli spade and pen. He only asks encouragement as a reward of labors which the circumstances of his life forbid him, in justice to his fan\ily, to bestow gratuitously. Should this volume meet with the appro- bation of the liberal descendants, whose ancestral memorials he has attempted to preserve by the imperishable power of the press, he will soon offer to the public a similar work on King's Chapel Burying-ground — the materials of which are in a state of preparation. The assistance kindly afforded him by John P. Bigclow, p^sq., Mayor of Boston, he would gratefully acknowledge; and also that of many other gentlemen, — some of high standing, — whose names he would gladly mention ; but a selection would seem invidious, and to enumerate them all might encroach upon the patience which tliis long, but he hopes not useless, preamble may have wearied. Boston, August, 1851. [The compiler is indebted to the kindness of John H. Sheppard, Esq., for the valuable Introduction to this volume.] © © ©-- =(2) Xist nf dJugraniEgs.

Joshua Bowles, (p. 11.) Mr. Bowles, born at Roxbury, May 3, 1722, was a resi- dent of the north end of Boston, and a deacon of the church there. He is described by one who remembers him, as of about five feet, eight inches in stature, of compact and mus- cular frame, and dark hair ; as silent, and of reserved manners, " magnifying " his office in the church by a godly life and con- versation, and honoring the precepts and examples of his fathers, particularly in the constant observance, during his life, of family devotions. He was brother-in-law to the Hon. Ben- jamin Lynde, of Salem, chief justice of the Province ; and son of Major John Bowles, Esq., of Roxbury, by his wife, Lydia, daughter of Col. Samuel Checkley, Esq., of Boston, born at Preston Capes, in Northamptonshire, and sister of Rev. Samuel Checkley, of Boston. Major Bowles was son of Hon. John Bowles, Esq., of Roxbury, by his wife, Sarah, daughter of the Rev. John Eliot, of Newton, and granddaughter of Rev. John Eliot, the " Apostle to the Indians." His son, Capt. Ralph Hart Bowles, served in the revolutionary army during the whole war of independence, and afterwards settled at Machias, Maine ; where he held various civil offices, as clerk of the courts, justice of the peace, &c.* He married Hannah, daughter of Rev. Josiah Crocker, of Taunton, of the lineage of the Leonards, Cobbs, Thachers, Gorhams, Gov. Carver, Gov. Hinckley, and Hon. John Howland, of Plymouth. Mrs. Bowles was distinguished for her energy of character, excellence of temper, and refinement of manners, peculiarly fitting her for usefulness in the frontier settlement at Machias. She died, July 10, 1847, aged 82, at Roxbury, and was interred at Mount Auburn, in the burial-place of her son, the late Stephen Jones Bowles. Samuel Bowles, Esq., editor of the " Springfield Republican," is a descendant from Mr. Joshua Bowles. * Born in Boston, March, 1759 ; died at Machias, Sept. 1813. @ © © @ Sljpjjcn^f j:. 207 Pakkman Family, (pp. 27, 38.) An honored and distinguished branch of this family wag Sftniuel Parkiiian, Esq., of whom, and of his fatlier, the Rev. Ebenezer Parkinan, of Westborougli, Mass., we find the follow- ing notices in the Christian Examiner, of June, 1824: — "Died, in Boston, June 11, Samuel Parkmau, Esq., aged seventy-two years ; one of the most distinguished and eminent merchants ; who raised himself to great opulence, without losing any thing of the moderation and simplicity of his original character and manners, or his strong attaclmicnt to tlic retired habits of domestic life. He was peculiarly domestic in his feelings, devoted to his family and friends, and singularly suc- cessful in the difficult duty of family government and dis- cipline. Affectionate, yet firm, by judicious mixture of de- cision and kindness, he acquired, and maintained to the last, an unusually powerful influence with a numerous and most at- tached family. The loss of his counsels and affection is irreparable. He had been a professor of Cliristianity forty- tliree years, and deacon in the Second Church twenty-three years.* To the interests of that church he was zealously de- voted, and gave frequent proofs of his attachment, whicli will long be remembered witli gratitude. In his last disease, when informed tliat it must be fatal, he received the intelligence witli • Mr. Parkman was born Sept. 11, 17o2. He was the son of Rev. Ebenezer Parkman, first minister of Wcstborough, Mass. ; who was graduated at Harvard College, in 1721 ; became a mcmlier of the New North Church in Boston, in 1723 ; was ordained in Wcstborough, then called Channcy Village, in 1724 ; and after a faithful and devoted ministry of nearly si.xty years, died Dec. 9, 1782, in tlic eiijliticth year of his age. He was honored among the most respectable clergymen of his day, devoting himself wholly to the duties of his calling. Be- sides some other publications, his Convention Sermon, preached in 1761, may be regarded as an honorable testimony of his enlightened and charitable, as well as fervent spirit. (2) @ 203 aippentf):. perfect composure, and acquiesced without a murmur in the appointment of Heaven. Desirable as life continued to be, — and to few was it more so, — he surrendered it at once. He spoke with humility of his imperfections and unworthiness, and oifered a fer\'ent prayer that they might be forgiven, and that his attempts to do his duty might be accepted ; declaring his trust to be in the mercy of God through Jesus Christ. His death was thus consistent with his profession, and brought con- solation with it." Sarah Brown, (p. 53.) « Mrs. Brown, born at Ipswich, August 21, 1696, was daughter of Jonathan Cogswell, son of William, and grandson of John Cogswell, a London merchant, who settled in Ipswich, in 1G35. Her mother (married, March 24, 1685) was daughter of Francis Wainwright, an eminent merchant of that town, and sister to Hon. John Wainwright. Miss Cogswell was married, in 1723, to Mr. James Brown, an opulent farmer of Ipswich, who died in the spring of 1741, leaving an estate of £6500. Mrs. Brown died in Boston, while visiting the family of her son-in-law, Mr. Timothy Thornton, (son of Ebenezer,) who, about 1773-4, moved to Ipswich, and there died, 4th Septem- ber, 1787, aged sLxty-one. The gravestone of her daughter, Eunice, at Ipswich, bears the following inscription : " Here lies what was mortal of Mrs. Eunice Thornton, wife of Mr. Tim- othy Thornton, who died Sept. 13th, 1784, in the 55th year of her age." They left two sons, viz. : Thomas Gilbert, the first son, born in Boston, August 31, 1768 ; married, November 26, 1793, Sarah, daughter to Hon. Thomas Cutts, of Saco, and died, March 24, 1824 ; their son, J. B. Thornton, married Eliza, daughter of Hon. Daniel Gookin, of Northampton, N. H. ; and daughter, Anna Paine, married Gov.

James Brown, the second son, married Rutli, daughter of Mr. Samuel Sewall, of York, county of York, and died, in 1825, witliout issue. Timothy Thornton, (p. 56.) Mr. Thornton was the son of the Rev. Thomas Thornton, of Yarmouth, Mass. He was born about 1647 : a principal citizen of Boston, where he was admitted a freeman, May 15, 1672. He was several times chosen one of the " Commission- ers " of Boston — a court of record created by the Acts of 1651 and 1()54. Says Judge Sewall, date April 4, 1690, "This day, Capt. Theophilus Frary, Adam Winthrop, Mr. Jno. Clark, Timo. Thornton," and others, " are chosen Conmiissioners for y« town of Boston." December 17th, 1690, Mr. Thornton, Major Elisha Hutchinson, Major John Phillips, Capt. Penn Townsend, and Mr. Adam Winthrop, were appointed by the Legislature a committee to issue bills of credit to pay the debts of the recent French and Indian wars. This was the first paper currency in Massachusetts. Mr. Thornton was several times elected " selectman " of Boston ; in 16! 13, he, with Ephraim Savage, Samuel Checklcy, and Edward Bromfield, were chosen. In 1693, Mr. Thornton, Penn Townsend, and Edward Bromfield, were chosen Representatives from Boston. Mr. Thornton was a Representative in HYM and 1(595. Judge Sewall wrote in his journal, " 1714-5, January 10th, snowy day. Mr. Gee sends his son to invite me to Diuncr to- morrow at his house." "Tuesday, January 11th, went tliither, where din'd Dr. Incr. & Dr. C. Mather, Mr. Bridge, Mr. Wads- wortli, Mr. Tliornton, Mr. Jno. Marion, Deacon Barnard, Mr. Ruck, Capt. Martyn, Mr. Hallowell.

The following inscription is from the grave- stone of his wife, in the ancient burial-ground at Watertown : " Mrs. Elizabeth Thornton, who departed this life June 10th, 1740, Mi. 37 years." Mrs. Sarah Thornton was the second wife, and widow of Mr. Timothy Thornton, of Boston. Her name before mar- riage is unknown. Jonathan Mountfort. (p. 81.) Jonathan Mountfort, founder of tomb 59, brother of John, was a man of liberal education, a physician and apothecary, and resided for many years at what was called "Mountfort's Corner." He was independent in his means, and eccentric in his habits. In 1719, he was one of the se- ceders from the New North Church, and among the founders and building committee of the "New Brick," or '■'■weathercock" church, for whom he was treasurer. His descendants in the © © SlfftnXilf. 211 male line are extinct; in the female line, they are merged with the Greenough and Pitts families. Tlie IMountfort fliniily coat of arms, as represented over the tomb of Jonathan Monntfort, belonged to Hugo de Montfort, a Norman, who, in 1066, commanded the cavalry of William the Conqueror at the battle of Hastings. This name is known in tlic " History of England," during the reigns of William I., Henry H., Henry HI., John, Ed- ward I., Edward HI., Edward IV., and Henry VH. It is especially referred to in " Dugdale's History of Warwickshire," a copy of which is in the library of Harvard University, which represents the same coat of arms as those over the tomb, and gives an elaborate and authentic pedigree of the family, from Turstain de Montfort, 1080, father of Hugo, as above men- tioned, to Simon Monntfort, ICyi^X father of Edmund, and grandfather of John and Jonathan Monntfort, founders of tombs Nos. 7 and 51). It is also referred to in " Collin's Peerage," " Burke's Extinct Peerage," " WifFan's History of the House of Russell," and other works. Gra.vt Family, (p. 107.) The space enclosed within an iron railing near the centre of the cemetery, and which contains the tomb of the Grant family, was not originally a part of the cemetery. This small canton of land was purchased by the first proprietor, [see deed below,] Mr. Gee, of the owner of a field adjoining the cemetery, his lady wishing to have a last resting-place apart from tlie mul- titude. It became the property of tlie Grant family, by pur- chase, four generations back, and is now owned by Deacon Moses Grant, to whom the interest in it of the other heirs of © © @ (2) 212 ^pjjcnlif );• his father, the late Deacon Moses Grant, was conveyed, on his decease. The property being, as has been remarked, held in fee, and under no restraint as to its use, a dwelling-house, or any other structure, could be erected on the spot ; and, what is more, the proprietor has a right of way over the cemetery, which right of way is by common law construed to mean a path broad enough for cart wheels to pass over. We need not, however, apprehend that the worthy proprietor or any of his descendants will avail themselves of their private rights, to the inconvenience of the public. This enclosure holds the remains of three generations of the Grant family. Moses Grant, Esq., who was buried here in 1817, aged seventy-three, was deacon of Brattle Street Church ; and Samuel Grant, Esq., who was buried in 1784, aged eighty, was deacon of the old North Church, (Dr. Andrew Eliot's.) The late respected Deacon Moses Grant was in revolutionary times a very ardent patriot. He was one of the destroyers of tJie tea, and one of the party who were engaged in the bold and successful attempt to remove the two pieces of cannon by night to the American lines, and who naiTowly escaped the pursuit of the British guard. One of our elder citizens remembers seeing a London news- paper of 1774, which contained a letter from Boston, written during the troubles, and referring to some of the principal ac- tors. It had this passage : " There is Deacon Grant, a member of the Cadet Company — a fiery deacon indeed ! " The pa- triotic composition of that company, at the time of these events, may be inferred from the fact that its commander was Colonel John Hancock !

(p. 128.) The Mariners' Monumental Receiving Tomb, in Copp's Hill Cemetery, Boston, was procured by contributions from seamen and their friends. The noble crew of the U. S. sloop-of-war Albany presented Phineas Stow, pastor of tlie Baptist Bethel, Boston, with fifty- two dollars, for this worthy object ; and Martin Woodworth, a generous sailor, collected three hundred dollarg from the mer- chants in a few days. The enterprise met with their cordial approval. It may not be improper to state, that many seamen who have been found dead in the docks, or have been accidentally (as we say) killed by falling from the yard-arm of a ship, have been buried by the city without any religious services whatever. We would cast no reflections upon the worthy citizens of Bos- ton ; for in tlie arrangements of tlie city for burying the poor, seamen liave shared, as well as others who liave died away from home and kindred. The writer, to give mariners a more appropriate burial, has procured from Coroners Pratt and Smith the remains of seamen, and incurred expenses, which have been clieerfully paid by seamen and others. Public at- tention has been called to the proper interment of sailors, and the call has been nobly responded to. The writer's father was a sea captain, his only brother is also a shipmaster, and his relatives arc engaged in navigating the ocean. It is natural that tender emotions should be awakened in his bosom for the stranger who finds an early grave far from his native home. The smiles of an approving Heaven have attended this work of humanity. It has called into exercise the better feelings and sympathies of those who are directly engaged in a business, the tendency of whicli is to shorten human life. It is cheering that, in this world of strife and tumult, tlicre is a common ground on which all may stand. Beautiful shells are to be cemented on the shaft of this monu- ment. Many sailors and their friends have given moaning 216 fappenUf):. ocean shells, which may sing a reqniem over the sailor's resting- place. The disciples of John the Baptist " came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb." (Mark vi. 29.) So we wish to lay in a tomb the mortal remains of the toil-worn sailor, Avho often dies homeless, friendless, and penniless. Seamen should have a " memorial " in the city of Boston — a city which has been en- riched by commerce — the fruits of the toil and sufferings of mariners. Bostgn will not wrong the ocean children. The pro- prietor of the Woodland Cemetery, in Maiden, has kindly given a large lot, where the bodies can be deposited when the re- ceiving tomb shall be full. A monument will be erected there in memory of seamen. The first three bodies deposited in the Mariners' Tomb be- longed to three different nations — England, Sweden, and Amer- ica — and occupied three different positions in the service — captain, officer, and sailor, — but no distinctions are known there ; they rest peacefully side by side. " It is their watch below." A female, a true friend of seamen, Avas the fourth body de- posited in the tomb. Three days before her death, she saw the monument that was to be erected on this tomb. It was completed tlie very day she was struck with death. Her hus- band was called upon by a gentleman to go and see the monu- ment, when he informed his friend that his M-ife was dying. It was like an electric shock. The history of this tomb is thus mournfully interesting to him, who, with his departed com- panion, for years devoted himself to benefit the long-neglected sailor. The reflex influence of efforts to respect and benefit humanity will not fail to bless the living. The author of this work has generously given ten copies of the book to the sailor's cause. By his request, the writer of the above has given the fore- going particulars, which may not be devoid of interest.

His fellow-sufferer under the Act of Uniformity, the Rev. Thomas Walley, for a while lived in Yannouth, but was soon settled in the ministry, at Barnstable, the adjacent town. A glimpse at Mr. Thornton's life in Boston, and an interest- ing- exhibition of the character and habits of our great and good men of ancient times, occur in the following extract from the diary of Chief Justice Samuel Sewall : " Aug. 13, 1G'J5. We have a fast Kept in our new chamber. Mr. Willard begins w"" prayer and preaches from 2^ Chronicles, xxxiv. 27. Mr. Allen prays." "P. M.

He was fined £ 20, and exiled by the government of " Massa- chusetts colony," for bribing the keeper of Boston jail to supply two Quaker women, then in prison, with food, otherwise they would have starved to death ; and afterwards, for expressing his abhorrence in relation to the inhuman and tyrannous acts of Governor Endicott and others towards the Quakers, — although he was of nnich influence, property, &c., and also a member of the church, — he was banished the colony, and re- sided six years in Rhode Island. On his return, he furnished a room in his house for the free use of the Quakers. The " History of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company " says, in reference to Nicholas Upshall, " Property, moral worth, public services, wife, children, friends, cannot preserve a man from the rutldess fangs of religious persecution. The respectable Quakers of the present day, (Lynn,) have recently =@ 220 Slppentifj:. reclaimed the remains of their former brethren from the old Quaker burial-ground, lest the rapacious hands of speculation should trespass further. Why do they not redeem the ashes of those who may be considered among the first martyrs of their sect ? " Eleazer Pratt. Eleazer Pratt (interred in the tomb of Eliot, Kimball, and Pratt) was a lineal descendant from Phinehas Pratt, one of the first planters of New England. He was born in Cohas- set, and came to Boston at about the age of sixteen years. He resided here until the day of his death, August 21, 1849, when he died with the Asiatic cholera, at the age of sixty-four years and seven months. Nature endowed him with a remarkable constitution. Pre- vious to his death, he was never but once obliged to call for a physician, and his prospect for a long life to come was very promising — his ancestors, and his seven brothers and sisters having attained an age far beyond his ; the brothers and sisters now remaining very hale, at an average age of seventy-seven years. Witli a good constitution, he also possessed a sound mind, which he constantly exercised in the study of mankind. He died in the full belief, that when his earthly tabernacle was dis- solved, he should have a building, of God, eternal in the heavens. Eleazer Pratt's sister, Abigail, is now eighty years of age ; she never took any medicine. Last winter, she walked from Boston to Somerville, a distance of four miles, without much fatigue. His brother, Benjamin, aged upwards of eighty-two years, went into the woods last winter, and assisted in cutting his supply of wood for the season. ©^ :(0) SlppcnTjfp. 221 LoRi>"G, CusHiNo, Spear, axd Gray, Descendants of Deacon Thomas Lorinpf, and his wife, Jane Newton, who came from Axminstor, Dovonsfhirc, England, Dec.

He was of about middling stature, and well formed ; his deportment was agreeable, and his manners, formed in a military school, and polished by intercourse with the officers of the French army, were those of an accomplished gentleman. An elevated forehead, black eyes, aquiline nose, and hair turned up from the forehead, gave an air of reflection and dignity, which became a person of his profession and character.

AUBURN. =© TESTIMONIALS The following letters, relating to this work, have been voluntarily tendered to the author. Hawthorn Cottage, Roxbury, May 2, 1851. Dear Sir : I return you my sincere thanks for the volume you so kindly presented to me, containing " Inscriptions on the Gravestones in Northampton and other Towns in the Valley of the Connecticut River." I am gratified to learn that you intend to publish, in three volumes, the epitaphs on Copp's Hill and other ceme- teries in Boston. By such commendable efforts to perpetu- ate the names and characters of those adventurers and honored pioneers to whom we are indebted for civil and religious fi-ee- dom, and all the blessings we enjoy under our admirable institutions of government, you will be distinguished as the literary Old IMortality of New England. That you will he amply rewarded for the services you are so zealously endeavoring to render your countrymen, I cannot doubt, by the patronage they will extend to you. With assurances of respect. Your much obliged and most obedient servant, H, A. S. Del^rborx. Thomas Bridgman, Esq. STesttmonials. City Hall, Eoston, January 2d, 1852. In behalf of the city government, I take pleasure in acknowledging your donation of books to the free city library, consisting of a copy of your work entitled " Epitaphs from Copp's Hill Burial Ground, Boston," and a copy of your work entitled " Inscriptions on Gravestones in Northampton and Springfield." Very respectfully, your obedient servant, John P. Bigelow, Mayor. Mr. Thomas Bridgman. At a meeting of Mount Lebanon I^odge, on the 8th of March, 1852, It was voted unanimously that the thanks of the Lodge be tendered to Brother Thomas Bridgman, for tlie presentation of a copy of his work entitled "Epitaphs from Copp's Hill Burial Ground, Boston." Copy of the record. Attest, Thos. "Waterman, Sec'y. Massachusetts Lodge, Boston, 15 March, 1852. Brother : I have the pleasure to inform you that, at a meeting of Massacliusetts Lodge, at the date hereof, in con- sideration of t'ae handsome and interesting volume presented by you, entitled, " Epitaphs from Copp's Iliil Burying- ground," it was " Voted, That the thanks of this Lodge be presented by the secretary to Br. Bridgman, for his acceptable gift." I am, respectfully and fraternally. Your obedient servant, • J. Q. Ketteli.e, Sec'y of Mass. Lodge. To Br. Thomas Bridgman, Boston. ST c s t i in n i a I s . Boston, May 2G, 1852. Dear Sir : You are placing coming generations under o1)ligations, to say nothing of the gratification the present will derive from your I'esearches among the tombs. Inscriptions in the burial-yards of Boston are becoming very indistinct. By accurately transcribing them, and giving a volume to the public and to posterity, you are really doing a great work, the full value of which will be appreciated in after times. Those quaint memorials on the old stones illus- trate the tone of moral sentiment, religious character, and early history, of those who organized the institutions of the city and commonwealth, which are still the pride and glory of the people. Allow me to express a hope that your efforts may be crowned by the approbation and patronage of the public. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. V. C. Smith. Thos. Bridgman, Esq. Boston, May 31, 1852. ^Ir. Thomas Bridgman : — Dear Sir : Please accept the thanks of the Massachusetts Historical Society, for your laborious and valuable work entitled " Epitaphs from Copp's Hill Burying-ground."
