Rufus King Sewall married firstly Anne Elizabeth Whitehurst on 21 November 1843 in Salem, Massachusetts, the marriage intentions having been published Burlington 29th October 1843. The newspaper notice gives her name as Mrs. Anna C. Hansom, of St. Augustine.5,6,7 Rev. Rufus King Sewall married secondly Mary B.

He was prepared for College at Gardener Lyceum and at the Academy at Farmington. After graduation in 1837 from Bowdoin he studied theology at Bangor Seminary. He was acting pastor of the Third Congregationalist Church at St. Johnsbury, Vermont in 1841 and 1842 and subsequently preached as a supply at East Cambridge, at Burlington, and at Plymouth, Massachusetts. At the last place he was urged, as he had been in Vermont, to become the settled pastor. His health, however, forbade, and in 1846 he removed to St Augustine, Florida, where he resided at five years, conducting the services in the Presbyterian church as far as he was able, and giving private instruction to members of the family of General Worth, commandant of the United States military post. Returning north he settled in 1851 in Wiscasset, which continued to be his legal residentce till his death. The uncertainty of his health, and demands on his time in caring for his wife's property in the South, led him to withdraw entirely from the Ministry and to study law with his kinsman, Kiah B. Sewall (Bowdoin, 1829), at Mobile, Alabama. He practiced his profession in the United States Circuit and Supreme Courts for several years. Most of his time, however, was devoted to historical research, and to his publications on the early history of the state. Mention should be made here of his Ancient Dominions of Maine (1859) and his Ancient Voyages to the Western Continent (1895). He was for over 50 years a prominent member of the main historical Society, serving as vice-president, and on its publishing committee and was the founder and president of the Lincoln County historical Society.11

Samuel Sewall
M, #94, b. 31 December 1745, d. 6 May 1811
Samuel Sewall was born on 31 December 1745 in Brookline, Massachusetts.1 He was the son of Henry Sewall and Ann White. Samuel Sewall graduated in 1761 from Harvard.2 He died on 6 May 1811 in London at the age of 65 after a day's illness. Since he was unmarried administration of his estate was granted to his sister Hannah Wolcott. Some sources give Bristol as the town of his death.3
He studied law, and settled in Boston. His name occurs among the barristers and attorneys who were addressers of Hutchinson in 1774; and in the Banishment and Proscription Act of 1778. He went to England, and in 1776 was a member of the Loyalist Club in London. Two years later he was at Sidmouth, a " bathing town of mud-walls and thatched roofs." In 1780 he seems to have lived in Bristol; and on the 19th of June amused himself by loyally celebrating Clinton's success at Charleston, in the discharge of a two-pounder in a private garden; and, three days after, was shot at by a footpad and narrowly escaped with his life. Early in 1782 he was at Taunton, and again at Sidmouth. His large estate in Brookline, inherited in right of his mother, was forfeited.4

Samuel Sewall1
M, #949, b. 29 November 1819, d. 16 November 1903
Samuel Sewall. Farmer.2 He was born on 29 November 1819 in Burlington, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.3 He was the son of Rev. Samuel Sewall and Martha Margaret Marrett.4 Samuel Sewall was baptised on 26 December 1819 at Burlington.1 He married Elizabeth H. Brown, daughter of Samuel Brown and Elizabeth Tuttle, on 21 March 1844 in Burlington, Massachusetts.3,5 Samuel Sewall died on 16 November 1903 in Burlington, Massachusetts, at the age of 83 of senile gangrene6 and is buried on 19 November 1903 in Chestnut Hill Cemetery, Burlington, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.6
He served as town treasurer from 1856-1892 and 1895-1896; town clerk from 1863-1893 and 1895-1900; church and parish treasurer for 40 years; church and parish treasurer for 35 years; and church deacon for 35 years.7
"He resides on the old Jones, Marrett, and Sewall parsonage, which he has improved by additions and adornments since those of his Grandfather Marrett. With commendable regard for the memory of his ancestors, he has left untouched by the barbarism called modern architecture, that "best room," where Hancock and Adams were disappointed of their "savory breakfast," and where some of these memoranda were written. Its walls are adorned with the painted portraits of Chief Justice Sewall and other worthies, carrying one back to old times when ministers were not ashamed to walk to meeting on Rackets. Those magnificent elm and chestnut trees, four feet in diameter, which adorn the lawn in front of the house, were mere saplings when Rev. John Marrett first visited his "lady love." On one of those occasions, he tied his horse to one of them. Perceiving this, Mr. Jones' colored servant removed it to a more proper place, and, with a native politeness known only to his race, announced: "I'se fetched the gemmans horse and hitched him where folks allers put um, cause he'd eat up the trees me & Massa planted." Faithful and considerate man, he appears to have been the trusted executive of the estate after Mr. Jones' death. Honorable mention is often made of him in Mr. Marrett's Diary. He now reposes in the adjacent cemetery, borne to his grave by the selectmen of Burlington, personally, as a mark of respect for him and the ministerial families he had served so long; and in the Family Bible it is written of him: "Cuff, the faithful Negro Servant of the above Thomas & Abigail [Jones] died April, 1813, having lived in the family about 60 years." " Letter dated 15 March 1847, from Rev. Samuel Sewall of Massachusetts to Rev. Henry Doyle Sewell.1
