London in the summer of 1773, and received verbal instructions
respecting the consignment of tea from the directors of the East India
Company. Richard Clarke arrived in London December 24, 1775, after a
passage of twenty-one days from Boston. The Clarkes were included in the
Act of Proscription, and their estates were confiscated. Richard Clarke
was a nephew of Governor Hutchinson. His wife, Elizabeth, was the
daughter of Edward Winslow, of Boston. Susan, his daughter, married
Copley, the painter, and became the mother of Lord Lyndhurst. Another
daughter, Mary, married Judge Samuel Barrett. Copley's portrait of
Richard Clarke represents him as a man of commanding presence, with
features resembling, in a remarkable degree, those of Washington, in the
Stuart portrait.

[30] Grey, afterwards Sir Grey Cooper, studied law at the Temple,
London; became an efficient supporter of the Rockingham party, and held
the office of Secretary of the Treasury throughout the American
troubles, covering the administrations of Chatham, Grafton, and North.
He was made a Lord of the Treasury in 1783, a Privy Councillor in 1793,
and died at Worlington, Suffolk, July 30, 1801; aged seventy-five. He
was an able speaker and parliamentarian.

Boston, in 1737, died there in March, 1775, after an illness of only
three days. Joshua, his father, (1694-1769,) third in descent from
Governor Edward, of Plymouth, was the son of Colonel Edward Winslow,
sheriff of Suffolk County. In 1720, he founded a mercantile house in
Boston, in which his brother Isaac (the Tory) was a partner, from 1736
to 1757, and in 1760 admitted his son, Joshua, to a share of the
business, he himself retiring with an ample fortune, in 1767. This firm
carried on an extensive and profitable trade. With the proceeds of
consignments from Bristol, England, vessels were built in Boston, and
loaded with fish for Leghorn, or some other foreign port, return cargoes
being taken for Bristol. They also became considerable shipowners, and
had one ship constantly in the London trade. Their place of business was

the consignees of the tea, seems to have been present when they were
