Endicott family
John Endecott was born in England in 1588 and
was a soldier and surgeon until becoming a member of the Massachusetts Bay
Company in 1627. He was selected as the company's agent in America in 1628, and
landed in Salem later that year. In 1629, the company selected him as governor,
a position he held until he was superseded by John Winthrop in 1630. During his
time in the colony he served, with the exception of one year, as either
assistant, deputy governor, or governor. His 16 terms as governor were the
longest tenure of any chief executive in the colony's history. A soldier and
government official, he was in essence the colony's chief military officer for
much of his life. He married Ann Gower in 1626. After her death in Salem in
1630, he was married a second time to Elizabeth Gibson in 1632. They had two
children, John and Zerubabbel. Governor Endecott died in Boston on 24 November
1665.
William Putnam Endicott was born in Salem on 5
March 1803, the son of Samuel and Elizabeth Endicott. A graduate of the Harvard
College Class of 1822, he served as supercargo aboard ships traveling to Europe
and the West Indies before returning to Salem where he worked for commercial
houses. In 1844 he represented Salem in the Massachusetts General Court. He
married Mary Crowninshield on 31 January 1826. She bore four children and died
on 13 March 1838. In 1844, he married Harriet French Peabody. He owned homes in
Milford, N.H. and Salem where he died on 11 March 1888.
William C. Endicott, Sr. was born 23 November
1826 in Salem, the son of William Putnam and Mary Crowninshield Endicott. He
graduated from Harvard College in 1847, studied law and was admitted to the
Essex Bar in 1850. He ran unsuccessfully for attorney general in 1866, 1867,
and 1869, and for Congress in 1870. In 1873 he was appointed a justice of the
state Supreme Judicial Court, a post he held until 1882. Following an extensive
tour of Europe, he returned to public and political life in 1884, running
unsuccessfully for governor. The following year he was appointed secretary of
war in Grover Cleveland's first cabinet, a post he held until 1889. Returning
to Boston, he resumed his law practice until retiring in 1891. He married Ellen
Peabody in 1859 and was the father of William C. Endicott, Jr. and Mary C.
Endicott. In his private life, he was a member of numerous clubs and civic
organizations including the Saturday Club and the Massachusetts Historical
Society. He died on 23 May 1900.

September 1860, the son of William C. and Ellen P. Endicott. He graduated from
Harvard University in 1883 and attended Harvard Law School before beginning his
own practice. In 1886 he accompanied his family to Washington, where he served
as his father's private secretary. After leaving Washington at the close of the
first Cleveland administration in 1889, he resumed his law practice in Danvers
until returning to Washington in 1893, first as an attorney specializing in
pardons at the Department of Justice and later as private secretary to Attorney
General Richard Olney. On leaving Washington he resumed his practice of law in
Boston. His activities in Boston included terms as trustee of the Isabella
Stewart Gardner Museum (1822-1936), member (1915-1936) and president
(1927-1936) of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and treasurer of the
Museum of Fine Arts (1920-1936). He died on 28 November 1936.
Mary C. Endicott (Chamberlain, Carnegie) was
born on 16 April 1864 in Salem, the daughter of William C. Endicott, Sr. and

Mass. He worked as a farmer before serving in the Revolution as a soldier and
sailor and later as a commercial sailor. In 1791, he retired from the sea and
became a part owner of ships trading with the East Indies, the West Indies, and
Europe. He married Elizabeth Smith in 1794. He became one of Salem's richest
merchants and, following his death in 1844, left a large financial legacy. In
1814 he purchased an estate in Danvers that later became the family's summer
home. Two members of the Endicott family, Moses and Samuel, were employed by
him as ship captains, and his granddaughter, Ellen, married William C.
Endicott, Sr. in 1859.
George Peabody was born in Salem on 23 September
1803, the son of Joseph and Elizabeth Peabody. He graduated from Harvard in

The Endicott Family Papers consist of 37 cartons of manuscripts (stored
offsite), 2 oversize boxes and 1 extra tall volume (stored onsite), and printed
materials arranged in nine series that document the Endicott family of Salem
and Boston from 1612 to 1958. The bulk of the collection dates from 1860 to
1936 and consists of the personal papers of William C. Endicott, Sr., attorney
and secretary of war in the first Grover Cleveland administration (1885-1889);
his wife, Ellen Peabody Endicott; their son, William C. Endicott, Jr., a Boston
attorney and civic leader; their daughter, Mary C. Endicott Chamberlain
Carnegie, the third wife of British Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain; and
Louise (Thoron) Endicott, the wife of William C. Endicott, Jr.
In addition, there are historical and genealogical research materials
gathered by the family including much information on John Endecott, the first
governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony; and Joseph Peabody, a Salem merchant
and the grandfather of Ellen Peabody Endicott. There are also papers of members
of related families, Endicott household records, and a separate series of
personal and family photographs.
Family correspondence (1799-1957) forms the largest single series in the
collection and is arranged in subseries by family member. Ellen (Peabody)
Endicott (Mrs. William C. Endicott, Sr.) was the most prolific family
correspondent, in particular with her mother, Clara Endicott Peabody, and her
daughter Mary -- the latter correspondence extends over 57 years.
In addition to the family correspondence, the five principal family members
are represented in five separate series of personal papers which fill 23
cartons and constitute the bulk of the collection. Spanning the years
1845-1958, each series is further subdivided into subseries pertaining to each
individual's life, interests, and activities. Included are personal
correspondence, ephemera (defined as incidental and miscellaneous printed
material that has not been separately cataloged due to its transitory nature,
such as calling cards, invitations, place cards, and miscellaneous circulars),
and bound volumes, such as diaries, scrapbooks, and account books.
The William C. Endicott, Sr. papers , the largest of the five principal
member series, cover his career as a prominent Essex County attorney,
politician, state Supreme Judicial Court judge, and secretary of war in Grover
Cleveland's first cabinet, including materials documenting the capture of
Geronimo in 1886, and controversies over attempts to return captured
Confederate battle flags in 1887. His papers include correspondence, legal case
files, diaries, letterbooks, and scrapbooks. Ellen P. Endicott's papers
document nearly 70 years as a wife, mother, and social figure in Salem,
Washington, and Boston. Papers of her daughter Mary C. Endicott cover her life
as social figure in Washington and England, in particular from 1889 to 1914
during her marriage to British Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain. The
William C. Endicott, Jr. papers consist of materials connected to his career as
an attorney, civic and social figure, and philanthropist. Among these are files
from his service as president of the Massachusetts Historical Society,
1927-1936. The Louise T. Endicott papers document her life as a Boston social
figure and wife of William C. Endicott, Jr. Her diaries and engagement books
record the family's activities over a 70 year period from 1884-1954.
Families related to the Endicotts are also documented through original
manuscripts and transcribed documents of the Ward, Peabody, Crowninshield,
Gardner and Gray families. A series of household records includes
correspondence, bills, invoices, and guest books pertaining to the Endicott
family's homes in Salem, Danvers, and Boston. The Historical/Genealogical
Papers series contains research notes and transcribed documents on the family's
history and origins by William C. Endicott, Sr., William C. Endicott, Jr. and
Mary C. Endicott.
Autograph letters collected by the Endicotts and select correspondence
between family members and a number of famous historical figures have been
removed from the Endicott papers and renamed the Endicott Family Special
Collection (See the separate guide to that collection for more information).
Other significant collections of Endicott papers are located at the
Peabody-Essex Museum, in Salem, Mass.; in the Joseph Chamberlain papers at the
University of Birmingham, England; and in Grover Cleveland's presidential
papers at the Library of Congress.
The Endicott Family Papers were donated to the MHS in several installments
between 1916 and 1958. William C. Endicott, Jr. transferred substantial
portions of his father's papers in 1916 and 1922. Large donations were also
made by Louise T. Endicott in 1940 following the death of William C. Endicott,
Jr. The bulk of the remainder of the collection was transferred to the MHS in
1958 by Benjamin W. Thoron and Walter Muir Whitehill following the death of
Louise T. Endicott.
The bulk of the Endicott family papers (except two oversize boxes and one
extra tall volume) is stored offsite and must be requested at least one
business day in advance. Contact the Library at
