Peter Mackintosh Jr., (1820), shopkeeper, afterward schoolmaster, of Boston, son
of Peter and Sybil (Hayden) Mackintosh, was born January 3, 1788. His grandfather, John, emigrated from Scotland. Peter, Jr. (1820) was educated in the Boston public schools, graduating as a Franklin medal scholar. He went into business early in life, opening a store in Cornhill, now Washington Street. Jn 1813 he married Dorcas Burditt and lived in a house on Hawkins Street, where the Charity Bureau is now located. Busine5s pursuits were not agreeable, and he accepted the position as writing master in the Hancock School.

He joined the Boston Light Infantry and went with that company down to one of the islands in Boston Harbor for the protection of the town in the War of 1812, when an attack by the British was expected. He was ensign of III company in the Second Regiment, Third Brigade, First Division, in 1818 and 1819 and lieutenant of the same in 1820, and captain in 1821 and 1822. He was also first sergeant of the Artillery Company in 1821, and was discharged from the Company, at his own request, March 19, 1823.

At this time his military service ceased. He resigned the captaincy, and received
from the Boston Light Infantry, a parting gift consisting of a silver service, thus engraved; "presented to Peter Mackintosh, Jr. (1810), our esteemed friend and late commander.''

He then began the true business of his life, which was the instruction of youth. He
taught in the public school, at the North End, for twenty-five years. He died July
28, 1848.

He was a member of the Second (Unitarian) Church in Boston; he held the office of
deacon in it for several years and was Superintendent of the Sunday School. On bi
removal to Cambridge, he attended the Austin Street Church, was Superintendent of its
Sunday school, and later, was elected a deacon in the Lee Street Church. Mr. Mackintosh
(1820) was a great uncle of William P. Jones (1860).

Christopher Newport (1561–after August 15, 1617)

Christopher Newport was an English privateer, ship captain, and adventurer who helped to establish the first permanent English colony in North America at Jamestown in 1607. Born the son of a shipmaster on the east coast of England, he worked in the commercial shipping trade and, beginning in 1585, as a privateer, or sanctioned pirate, in the war between England and Spain. His assistance in the capture of the Spanish ship Madre de Dios in 1592 won him such wealth and prestige that in 1606 (14 years before The Mayflower) the Virginia Company of London appointed him leader of the voyage to the newly chartered colony. In the first few months, he played a key role in negotiating between Virginia's often-fractious leaders. He also sailed between the colony and England, carrying news and delivering precious supplies. In 1608, he participated in an unsuccessful "coronation" of the Indian chief Powhatan, who refused to submit himself to the English.

In 1609, as captain of the Sea Venture, Newport was shipwrecked off the islands of Bermuda, arriving in Virginia the next spring. Newport left the Virginia Company's employment in 1612 and entered the service of the East India Company. He died in Banten (Bantam), Java, sometime after August 15, 1617 (3 years before The Mayflower landed).
