Observations Part 5 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) |
 | | Books of two William Winthrops are to be found on the shelves at Alleghany, Riders Dictionary, London, 1659, which belonged to John's brother William in 1765, and an imperfect copy of Cotton Mather's Magnalia Christi, London, 1702, which James's brother William gave to the college at Meadville in 1822. |
 | | Possibly, Franklin suggested that Winthrop might be interested in seeing the work and would, after leafing through it, be so kind as to send it on to its destination. |
 | | The wife of Col. Benjamin Rickman, one of the leading citizens of Salem, gave her minister in 1783, the year he came to East Church, a handsome three-volume bible, Amsterdam, 1610, which contained the family records, 1699-1718, of Thomas Barton who was a physician, colonel and town clerk of Salem. |
