Brown served in the Rhode Island General Assembly from 1764 to 1771, and vehemently opposed the Stamp Act in 1765. In 1769, he was instrumental in the effort to move Rhode Island College from the town of Warren to Providence and along with his three brothers, donated land for the new campus which was later renamed Brown University.

After the American Revolution, Moses Brown turned his attention to abolishing slavery and was instrumental in the 1787 passage of a law banning the participation of Rhode Islanders in the slave trade.

After his father’s death in 1739, Isaac inherited the property and expanded the house, which remains a prominent landmark in Medford to this day. As one of the colony’s wealthiest men, Royall served as justice of the peace, chairman of the Medford board of selectmen, and represented Medford to the colony’s legislature. He also served as an overseer of Harvard College. With the outbreak of war in 1775, Royall fled to Nova Scotia before moving to England. He died in 1781. He left a land bequest to Harvard College to establish the school’s first law professorship, which led to the founding of the law school in 1817.

Note: According to family history, the flatware was owned by Captain George Sinclair (18161885), a son of Commodore Arthur Sinclair. Captain Sinclair served in the United States Navy and took part in the Wilkes Expedition to explore and survey the Pacific Ocean in the 1830s. With the outbreak of the Civil War, Captain Sinclair, whose family roots lay in Virginia, resigned his U.S. Navy commission to join the Confederate Navy and served as a cruiser captain through the war. $1,200-1,800

48 Remarkable Pieced and Appliqued Cotton Civil War Memorial Quilt, made by Mary Bell Shawvan, c. 1863, composed of solid color and calico printed cotton, depicting a central spreadwing eagle with shield surrounded by meandering flowering vines and grapevines with perched birds; the leaves, flowers, birds, and fruit stuffed for a three-dimensional effect, black silk accenting the birds’ wings and tails, yellow-orange floral print ground, dark green scalloped border quilted in a scallop pattern, off-white muslin backing, (minor imperfections), 84 x 81 1/2 in. Provenance: By family descent; Skinner, Sale 2241, November 1, 2003, Lot 102; to a private Massachusetts collection. Note: According to oral family history, the quilt was made by Mary Bell, or Polly as she was known to her friends. In 1854 she married John Shawvan, then began farming in Dodge county. By 1860 they had six children and though John had substantial family obligations, he enlisted, at 34 years of age, into the Union army October 26, 1861 and was assigned to Company B of the 1st Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. He was later promoted to the rank of Sergeant and was a color bearer in many battles. Mary assumed full responsibility for the farm, managing the household and caring for the children. During the time he was away she created this quilt for him to share when he returned home. In September, 1863, Sergeant Shawvan’s unit, the 1st Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, was sent to south Tennessee and participated in the second-bloodiest fight of the entire Civil War, the Battle of Chickamauga. According to Reverend John McNamara, Chaplain of the 1st Wisconsin, “At Chickamauga eighty percent of the regiment was killed, wounded, or taken prisoners. Five officers were killed, five wounded, and three taken prisoners. The color sergeant was killed; the next taking the colors was wounded in three places.”

Sadly, the color sergeant listed was John Shawvan. He was mortally wounded on the second day of the battle and died on September 22, 1863, at a military hospital in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Polly and the children were left to rely on a Civil War widow’s pension. Included in the lot is a needlework sampler stitched by “Polly M. Bell age 11” (Mary’s nickname), with silk threads on a linen ground; also photocopies of signed affidavits regarding Mary and John Shawvan, probably helping to provide compensation to the widow and children, including John Shawvan’s Certificate of Service, a document signed by the Justice of the Peace verifying he married the couple July 14, 1844, a document signed by Sally Bell (Mary’s mother) stating that the births and birthdates of the couple’s children entered into the family bible are correct. Also included are some photocopied pages from the Military History of Wisconsin, regarding the Battle of Chickamauga. In it John Shawvan is listed as dying of wounds received in the battle.

181

Provenance: A private Massachusetts collection. Note: Point Lynas was the main station of the Liverpool Pilot Service, where incoming ships would pick up a pilot who would bring their vessels safely into harbor. The ship on the left has the “pilot jack” flying from her foremast, requesting a pilot. The brig closest to the shore is also flying the “pilot jack,” requesting a pilot as well. The Liverpool No. 1 pilot sloop was built by William Dickerson & Co. in 1834 and sold and removed from the pilot service in 1856. Pilot No. 11 is a cutter, and is flying the blue peter indicating that she has pilots aboard ready to be of service. The exact identity of the pilot No. 11 is difficult to precisely establish. She is either the Mersey built in 1816 and sold in 1847 or she is the Mersey built in 1847 and replaced in 1878. Both vessels were squaresterned and of similar dimensions. Special thanks to Charles Lanagan for his indepth reseach onto the vessels portrayed in this painting. $4,000-6,000

In 1902, he furnished more than two hundred pieces of furniture for the White House restoration project for Theodore Roosevelt. He also produced furnishings for the royal palace of King Kalakaua of Hawaii. In 1886, Mr. Davenport and his wife Ella visited and became interested in the development of Squirrel Island, Maine. He installed a sewer system and built a library, and bought and developed several other properties on the island as well as building their own two houses, which were identical in construction and called “Tweedle Dee” and “Tweedle Dum.” Mr. Davenport died in 1906; his widow and then his daughter remained in this house until the 1940s. The weathervane was mounted on the tower of “Tweedle Dum.” Included in the lot is a photocopy of a page from a special “Squirrel Island Semi-Centennial” section from a 1921 Lewiston Journal Magazine.
