ww 1866.] Pepperrell Genealogy. 3 property; and resided with her uncle, Hon. Bailey Bartlett, of Haverhill, High Sheriff of Essex county, Mass., until she was about 14 years old, when she passed much of her time in Boston with her aunt Mrs. Dr. C. Jarvis, where she attended school. Her taste for literature and her proficiency therein were uncommon at that period, and this with her kind disposition and personal beauty won the love of all who knew her. In 1808, she married William Jarvis, then Consul General and Charge des Affaires in Lisbon. She died in 1811, leaving two infant daughters. One of them, named Mary Pepperrell Sparhawk, married Hon. Hampden Cutts, now residing at Brattleboro'; and the other, named Elizabeth Bartlett, married an eminent lawyer in New York, D. E. Wheeler, Esq. She died a few years since, leaving two children, a son named Everett Pepperrell Wheeler, now a promising young lawyer in New York, and the other named Mary Hannah Wheeler, who married May 24, 1865, Rev. Cornelius Smith, late Rector of the 2d church in Lowell. Mrs. Cutts, the other daughter of Consul Jarvis above named, married Hon. Hampden Cutts, in 1829, formerly of North Hartland, Vt., and has had nine children, three of whom are living, viz.: 1. Edward Holyoke, a descendant of the President of Harvard College, who has lately commanded a company at Richmond, and has two daughters, named Mary Sherwood and Lizzie Katharine. 2. Ann Holyoke Jarvis, who m. Professor Howard in 1861, and 3. Mary Louisa, the youngest child, now fourteen years old. II. The second son of Hon. Nathaniel Sparhawk, named William He had one son and three daughters. The son, named William, it was hoped would live to bear up the adopted name of Pepperrell, and inherit the title of baronet; but he died in the Isle of Wight, in 1809, unmarried. III. The third son of Col. Nathaniel Sparhawk, named Samuel Hirst, graduated at Harvard College 1771, was a refugee to England with his brothers. He died in Kittery, August 29, 1789, aged thirty-eight. He left an only daughter, just alluded to, who, at his request, was adopted by his only sister in Boston, Mrs. Doctor Jarvis, with whom she lived until the death of that lady, in 1815. She now resides in Portsmouth, and has lately expended liberally in repairing the old Pepperrell tomb. She has some relics of the old baronet left her by her aunt, Mrs. Jarvis. IV. The fourth son of Col. Sparhawk, named Andrew, m. a Miss Turner, was a loyalist, and went to England with his wife, where they both died soon after, leaving no children. V. Miss Mary Pepperrell Sparhawk, the only daughter and youngest child, married Dr. Charles Jarvis, of Boston, and after his death, she passed her days at Kittery point, near the village church, and nearly opposite the house of her grandmother, Lady Pepperell, built after the baronet's death. She died in 1815. Thus it appears that of all the descendants of Sir William, now living in America, there are left only Mrs. Edward S. Jarvis and her children, formerly of Surry, Maine, and now residing in California, pleasantly settled and prosperous-Mrs. Mary P. Sparhawk, of Brattleboro,' Vt., and three children, and the two children of the late Mrs. Wheeler, of New York-Miss- Humphreys, of Conway, N. H., an aged maiden lady-and Miss Harriet Hirst Sparhawk, of Portsmouth, N. H., a maiden lady of four score years. These are all the descendants of Sir William now living in America. Nor are there any other descendants of Col. Nat. Sparhawk, who married Sir William's only daughter. Both names are extinct excepting as middle names, of which there are many, and formerly they were more numerous. It now remains to notice the British branch of the family which descended from the second Sir William Pepperrell, the second son of Col. Nat. Sparhawk, who married the first Sir William's daughter, and who was driven from America early in the revolutionary struggle.

Abraham, Bishop Designate of Wellington, New Zealand. The foregoing sketch of the descendants of the second Sir William Pepperrell presents a striking contrast, compared with the descendants of his brothers and sister. They all number less than a dozen, of highly respectable individuals, whilst those that descended from the single loyalist, who was driven from America at the commencement of the Revolution, comprise probably a hundred, holding the highest social position, including dignitaries in church and state, Baronets, Presidents of Colleges, D.D.'s and Bishops, and others of exalted rank, perhaps more numerous than can be found in any one family in the British realms. RECORD OF THE WILLIS FAMILY, FROM AN OLD BIBLE. THE following was copied from a worn and imperfect bible, "Imprinted at London, by the Deputies of Christopher Barker, Printer to the Queene's most Excellent Majestie, 1599," which I send you without comment or attempt at elucidation.

Mother Elliot came to live with her son (in law) Stephen Willis at Medford, on November, 1677, and dyed on Jenuary 17, 169 and lived almost one yeare of this time with her son in law John Whitmore and all the rest of the time with her sone Willis.

Father Stephen Willis Departed this Life July 29, 1718, aged 77. Mother Hannah Willis Mar. 21, 1733, aged 80 yers. [The late Rev. Abner Morse, in his genealogy of the Willis family (Genealogical Register of the Descendants of several Ancient Puritans, vol. ii. pp. 206 and 207), states that Stephen Willis, son of George, of Cambridge, was born at Cambridge Oct. 14, 1644, and m. Aug 3, 1670, Hannah Elliot, dau. of Francis Elliot of Braintree, and had Hannah, Stephen, Rebecca, Abigail, Thomas, John, Jonathan, Benja min, Mary. Except the introduction of Rebecca, the names and dates correspond with the above record. Abigail Willis, born as above, in 1677, m. for her first husband (according to Mr. Morse) Wm. Patten, and Mary Willis, the youngest dau. and child, b. in 1690, m. April 22, 1714, Benjamin Parker of Medford. Marriages of other children are mentioned. Mr. Savage, in his Dictionary, has the names, and dates, so far as given, in accordance with the above record from the old family bible. There is a discrepancy, however, in relation to the age of the elder Stephen Willis. If he was born in 1644, he would have been in his 74th year, at his decease, instead of "75," as Mr. Morse has it, with quotation marks, or as in the above record, 77. We are justified, as will be seen, in heading this article, a record of the Willis family.
