 Description: The author of these sketches was born in Boston, Massachusetts, March 4, 1804, the eldest son of James Alexander and Elizabeth Williston, his wife. In Memoirs which he prepared for his descendants he states that he came of early colonial stock. His maternal greatgrandmother was Ann Brown McMillan, a direct descendant of John(?) Brown who came over in the Mayflower in 1620. This early ancestor served as town crier for the village of Boston and his descendants are buried in the old Copps Hill Cemetery, "from the first settlement of that place."
