Excerpt from The Remains of Nathaniel Appleton Haven: With a Memoir of His LifeThese were the paternal ancestors of Mr. Haven. His mother, whose original name was Mary Tufton Mofi'at, was descended from John Tufton Mason, the well known gran tee of a large portion of the state Of N ew-hampshire. She was adopted and educated by her uncle General William Whipple, one of the persons, who signed the declaration Of Independence of the United States; and, from his family, shewas, in 1786, married to the father of Mr. Haven. Mr. Haven, therefore, descended alike from the Puritan clergy and,the adventurous settlers of the country, was born under those circumstances, which, in a community like ours, are most favorable to the developement of wise and useful talent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
