After Peter's death, Benjamin resided in Brighton, then Cambridge, in the street, which now bears the family name, where he erected an expensive mansion, successively occupied, after his decease, by Messieurs Bethune, English, Parkman, and Bigelow. By his wife, Mary Cutler, he had three children, Benjamin, Mary, and Peter. _This_ Benjamin, nephew of _our_ Peter, is the "_Benjamin Faneuil, junior_," whose name appears, among the signers of the "_Loyall Address_" to Gov. Gage on his departure Oct. 6, 1775. He left Boston for Halifax, with the British army, in March, 1776. He is the person, referred to, by Ward, in his Memoirs of Curwen--"_the merchant of Boston, and with Joshua Winslow, consignee of one third of the East India Company's tea, destroyed in 1773, a refugee to Halifax, afterwards in England_." He married Jane, daughter of Addington Davenport, by his first wife, Jane, who was the daughter of Grove Hirst, and sister of the Lady Mary Pepperell; and, with his wife, lived many years, abroad, chiefly in Bristol, England, which became the favorite resort of many refugees, and where he died. I have, in my possession, several of his letters, written to his relatives, during his exile. These letters are spiritedly written; and, to the very last, in the most perfect assurance, that the colonies must submit. _Mary_, _our_ Peter's niece, became the wife of George Bethune, Oct. 13, 1754, and died in 1797. A portrait, by Blackburn, of this beautiful woman, is in the possession of her son, George Bethune, Esquire, of Boston. After a very careful inspection of this portrait, not long ago, I went directly to the rooms of the Historical Society, to compare it with the portrait there of her uncle Peter, to which it seems to me to bear a strong family resemblance. This portrait of Peter was presented to the Society, by Miss Jones, the grand niece of _our_ Peter, now the wife of Dr. Cutter of Pepperell. It has been erroneously ascribed to Copley. If its manifest inferiority to the works of that eminent master were not sufficiently germaine to this question--Copley was born in 1738, and not quite five years old, when Peter Faneuil died. _Peter_, the youngest child of Benjamin, and, of course, the nephew of _our_ Faneuil Hall Peter, who may be otherwise distinguished, as Peter the Great--was baptized, in Trinity Church, in Boston, in 1738, and entered the Latin School, in 1746. He entered into trade--went to Montreal--failed--resorted to the West Indies--and, after his father's death, returned to Boston. No. CXXV. Let us conclude our post mortem examination of the brothers and sisters of Peter Faneuil. _Francis_, the third son of _Benjamin_, the old Rocheller, Peter's father, was born Aug. 21, 1703, of whom I know nothing, beyond the fact, that he was baptized, by M. Peyret, minister of the French church in New York, and presented "_par son grand pere, Francois Bureau, et Mad'selle Anne Delancey_."
