Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 2., Slavery in Medford. (search)
Slavery in Medford. by Walter H. Cushing. Slavery existed in Massachusetts almost from the first settlement of the colony, and was somewhat increased as a result of the Pequot war in 1637. The slaves in this instance were, of course, Indians. The chief source of African slaves, so far as their importation is concerned, was through trade with Barbadoes, a British island in the West Indies. Slaves purchased in Africa were sold chiefly in the West Indies and the Southern colonies; the balance came North. The mainspring of the traffic was rum; and Brooks in his History of Medford gives an extract from a captain's account-book showing balance between rum and slaves. Very few whole cargoes, however, came to Massachusetts; and only a small number of ships from Boston engaged in the African trade. In 1703 a duty of £ 4 was imposed on every negro imported. Slaves were most numerous in Massachusetts about 1745; in 1763 the ratio of whites to blacks, the latter including many fr

Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 5., Mrs. Jane Turell. (search)
Mrs. Jane Tyler, a daughter of William Pepperell of Kittery. Parson Turell died Dec. 8, 1778. He left no children. His home was afterward known as the Jonathan Porter Homestead, and stood at the corner of Winthrop Street and Rural Avenue. His colleague, Rev. David Osgood, took the place of a son to him, as well as associate pastor. For the last five years of Mr. Turell's life, hardly a day passed which was not brightened by a visit from the young divine. Society Notes. Mr. Walter H. Cushing, one of our most active members and instructor in History in the High School, is publishing a series of Medford History Leaflets designed to tell the story of Medford's development from earliest times to the present. From the subjects announced for forthcoming numbers these will prove a most interesting and valuable set to those interested in our past history. Among the many gifts to the society is a model of the Medford-built ship, Cyren, from Miss A. M. Newell of South Boston.
