residing in Prince Street. In 1838, his residence was in Chelsea, Mass.
SAMUEL HOWARD,
A Boston shipwright, resided at the "Mansion House," as it was called,
which stood on the site of the Mariner's Church, North Square. He died

Copp's Hill. His wife, Anna Lillie, the sister of Major John Lillie, of
the Revolutionary army, died in North Andover, in 1804. Two of our
well-known fellow citizens, Henry Lillie Pierce and Edward L. Pierce,
are grandsons of Major Lillie. Theophilus Lillie, the Tory trader, who
was mobbed during the tea excitement, was Major Lillie's uncle.

October 3, 1794, married Rev. Samuel Gilman, D.D., of Charleston, S.C.
She is still living, at the age of ninety, and resides at Tiverton,

Ropemaker, died in September, 1821, aged seventy-nine. E.C. Howe & Son
(Joseph) dissolved partnership August 1, 1800. Howe's rope-walk was one

JONATHAN HUNNEWELL,
The son of Richard, followed his father's trade, of a mason. He was born
in Boston, May 19, 1759; died in April, 1842. He was several times a
selectman of Boston, and member of both branches of the legislature; was
connected with many benevolent institutions, and was for nine years
president of the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Association. He was
one of the principal agents in the establishment of the glass-works, in
Boston and Chelmsford, and its failure, in 1822, made him a poor man.
For many years he had a country residence at Newton, which was the seat
of a generous hospitality. The latter part of his life was passed in
seclusion, at Roxbury, where, in 1800, he married the widow Theoda
Davis. Jonathan, his brother, and Richard, his father, were also in the
tea party.
RICHARD HUNNEWELL,

died in October, 1805. He resided in Essex Street; was an active Son of
Liberty, and was one of the volunteer guard on the "Dartmouth," on the
night of November 30, 1773. His two sons, fourteen and sixteen years of
age, were with him at the throwing overboard of the tea.
