"Her attire was always neat and handsome, an utter enemy unto anything gay or fashionable, as she was not so modish as to be first in fashion, neither was she so singular as to be the last out of it. In her family she was admirable. . . . . As a Mistress, one who always allowed sufficiency of food and raiment. Prov. 31: 13, 14, [was fulfilled in her, she wrought willingly in Wool and Flax, and brought her food from afar']—and in sickness was very tender of any member of her household.

....

"The like care did she show to her very negroes, especially in catechising and learning of them to read the Bible, and, a little time before she was taken ill, was heard to say that she esteemed the souls of her servants next to her own children, and was therefore obliged to mind them..... "Her funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Nathaniel Rogers."

Feb. 20, 1749-50, first, John Borland, son of Francis; m. second, April 27, 1784, William Knight, merchant, of Portsmouth. N. H. It is erroneously stated in Brewster's "Rambles about Portsmouth," that she was the daughter of John Moffat," instead of Maj. Leonard Vassall. She continued to reside in Portsmouth long after the death of her husband, and was much esteemed and honored. Mad. Knight d. at Boston, June 20, 1823, and was buried in the Granary burying ground. By her first husband, John Borland, she had twelve children:

Judge Penhallow adds: "This Mr. Rogers descended out of the Loins of the famous Mr. John Rogers, who was martyred in the Reign of Queen Mary." The manuscript here quoted bears date Feb. 23, 1713. This is the earliest date to which we can trace the statement that the Ipswich Rogers family is descended from the martyr. We next find it in 1764, in Hutchinson's History of Massachusetts, vol. i. 194. The statement or tradition is erroneous, however. See the Life of John Rogers, the proto-martyr, by Col. Joseph L. Chester, LL.D., of London, England, a descendant of the Rev. John Rogers of Dedham, England, through the Rev. Nathaniel Rogers of Ipswich, Massachusetts, from whom the Rev. Nathaniel Rogers, of Portsmouth, N. H., named in the quotation, was also descended. Col. Chester has collected sufficient evidence to prove that this family is not descended from the martyr, as above stated.-ED.

MARY, who d. young.

ii. SAMUEL, m. Prudence Kneeland; no issue. Their names were long held in veneration and esteem, as Dea. Penhallow and wife, walking with christian uprightness, and abundant in good works. The Deacon was also a magistrate, and administered justice in his sphere without fear or favor. To quote from a late historian, Justice Penhallow was a strict constructionist, believing with C. J. Jay that justice should be administered faithfully, impartially, and without delay. He recognized only two distinctions of character of those living under and being entitled to the protection of the laws, viz. : Obedience to, and disobedience of, those laws. Neither the possession of wealth nor any adventitious condition of life of the accused could influence the old Deacon.' [Brewster.]

I insert the following note from the pen of a friend :

"Mr. Smith was b. Aug. 16, 1789. He is an eminent instance of a long, active, useful life. Commencing his apprenticeship in commerce in his native city, Philadelphia, in 1806, he was sent out supercargo of a ship to Sweden in 1810, before he had reached his twenty-first year. Arriving there, he became, first, acting consul when he was only twenty-two years of age, and, within a week after the arrival of the regularly commissioned consul, his viceconsul, and did most important service for American vessels, both in peace and in war, until his return to the United States early in 1813. He was afterwards in business under the firm of Haven & Smith. In 1830, he was made one of the directors of the Union Insurance Company, and its president in 1837-which office he has held from that time to the present; and now, in his eighty-ninth year, goes daily to his office from his home, a distance of eighteen miles. He is fresher and brighter than most men a quarter of a century his juniors. He is one of six brothers, all of whom have lived to celebrate their golden wedding. A member of the Episcopal church, his fidelity in his civil and domestic relations has been in constant harmony with his religious professions, while his intelligent zeal has fostered the institutions of his church and promoted the interests of a common christianity."
