 The Hard Case of the Founder of Old Hampton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
This manly appeal ought to have reached Winthrop’s heart, -- for he had occasion, a few years later, to stand up and clear himself in a Boston court, upon rather grave charges of partiality in office; and he did this, he said, that his posterity might not blush for him when he was no more.
It copies carelessly and defectively from Winthrop’s secret journal, which did not come to light till more than a century after Bachiler’s death, when all who had direct knowledge of the facts were also dead, and when its statements must be tested by probability, not taken as gospel truth.
Valuable as Winthrop’s manuscript journals are, for facts within his own knowledge, and where his judgment was not warped by superstition or prejudice, there are numerous instances where we now know his account to be false or exaggerated; many more in which his credulity and bigotry led him to the most ridiculous statements.

 Aristocracy in America, the case study on John Forbes Kerry
Perhaps as important, James Grant Forbes married Margaret Tyndal Winthrop, who came from a family with deep roots in Massachusetts history going back to John Winthrop, the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony (photo is of a painting of John Winthrop by Van Dyke, courtesy of Images of American Political History).
A point that might be made here is that Richard married into the Forbes and Winthrop families, families with a long and proud ancestry filled with wealth.
The point we wish to highlight is that Senator John Forbes Kerry, with his Forbes lineage that is tied to the Winthrop family as well, first married Julia Thorne, whose family had $300 million and whose lineage could be traced back to the 17th century and a family that became an American success story.
