The Brewer family had lived in Roxbury since the 17th century. Their ancestor Daniel Brewer and his wife Johanna were early settlers, and the Brewers one of Roxbury's oldest families. Stephen Brewer and Susanna White, paternal grandparents of Thomas Aspinwall Brewer, are buried with Stephen's family in Eliot Burying Ground, Roxbury. The Stephen Brewer mansion, home to Thomas Aspinwall Brewer's paternal grandparents Stephen Brewer and Susanna White Brewer, is mentioned in several local histories. Mary Foster Brewer's grandfather Joseph Brewer was Stephen's brother. Joseph's wife Rebecca Weld Brewer was Mary's paternal grandmother. The Weld family were founders of Harvard College, as were several other ancestors of the young newly-married couple Thomas Aspinwall Brewer and Mary Foster Brewer. Nathaniel Brewer III, father of Stephen and Joseph, was a son of Margaret Weld and Nathaniel Brewer, Margaret being of the same Weld family as Rebecca (Rebeckah Weld Brewer, Mrs. Joseph Brewer).
In 1820, the old Aspinwall house and its grand elm were local landmarks in Brookline. The house was built by Peter Aspinwall at Muddy River in the 17th century was in 1820 owned by Thomas Aspinwall Brewer's great uncle, Dr. William Aspinwall. Both William and his brother Thomas built houses of their own, and the ancient manse was occupied by tenants including notable authors and other associates of the family.
The Thomas Gardner III house in Brookline, built for the father of Caleb Gardner (maternal grandfather of Lt. Col. Thomas Aspinwall and Dr. William Aspinwall), was at this time still occupied by Gardner descendants.
Thomas Aspinwall Brewer and Mary Foster Brewer were from old families long established in Massachusetts. They were second cousins, and cousins by several other shared family lines.
Today, a part of the 19th century house built for Thomas Aspinwall Brewer and Mary Foster Brewer at Vineville, Bibb County, Georgia, still stands, but is threatened by demolition. The house dates to about 1830 and was part of an extensive estate property consisting also of many outbuildings, some of which were used when the original home was moved closer to Vineville Avenue and rebuilt about 1917. Vineville had been a rural district, and by 1910 had been absorbed into the city of Macon, Georgia.

"Catherine Brewer Benson lived in the house with her father in 1840 when she was going to Wesleyan, and became the first woman in history to obtain a bachelor's degree," said historian Caitlin Mee, who lives in the neighborhood.
— 'IMPORTANT TO WOMEN'S HISTORY': Debate continues over whether to demolish century-old condemned Vineville home. Some neighbors say the house once belonged to the family of one of the first women ever to earn a bachelor's degree.

HISTORIC VINEVILLE HOME COULD BE TORN DOWN
A meeting was supposed to take place Wednesday about the home's future, but it was moved to next week due to the threat of severe weather.
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – The Catherine Brewer Benson House may soon be torn down.
Catherine Brewer Benson was the first woman in the world to receive a bachelor's degree.
She received the degree in 1840 after graduating from Wesleyan College.
Now there are talks for her home on Vineville Avenue to be torn down and replaced by an amphitheater.
The Big House Foundation owns the house.
Some residents say the house has too much history to be demolished.
"This historic home has international relevance, has national relevance, and it should not succumb to demolition," preservationist and area resident Elliott James-Fernandes said. "It should not have be erased as a figure of women's history."
A meeting was supposed to take place Wednesday about the home's future, but it was moved to next week due to the threat of severe weather.

Thomas Aspinwall Brewer and Thomas Aspinwall Davis, 10th Mayor of Boston, Massachusetts, were first cousins, their mothers being sisters Catharine Sparhawk Aspinwall and Lucy Aspinwall (daughters of Lt. Col. Thomas and Lucy Sparhawk Aspinwall).
Thomas Aspinwall Brewer had several aunts and uncles. Like his mother, all of his aunts married into families who were already associated by marriage or bloodlines to the family.
Lucy Aspinwall Davis Holden first married Ebenezer Davis III, who was a cousin to Edward Brewer by way of the White family. As Mr. Davis's widow, Lucy married James Holden, who was a Withington descendant.
Lucy Aspinwall and Ebenezer Davis III had several children. Their son Thomas Aspinwall Davis become the 10th Mayor of Boston, Massachusetts. Her son Reverend Increase Sumner Davis was a beloved and highly regarded scholar, orator, and minister. These sons were progressive and opposed the institution of slavery in America.
Thomas Aspinwall Brewer 's aunt Lucy witnessed many changes in 19th century Brookline. She and all of the family were highly regarded, and all were closely related to all of the leading Massachusetts and New England families in local, state, and national government as well as being friends.
Catharine Sparhawk Aspinwall married Edward Brewer. Edward Brewer died in 1812. Edward's wife Catharine died in 1821, soon after her son was married to his second cousin Mary Foster Brewer, a daughter of Ebenezer Brewer, Sr. and his first wife Mary Foster. Ebenezer Brewer, Sr.'s second wife Elizabeth White was an Aspinwall descendant - yet another example of strong ties shared by these "allied families" Aspinwall, Brewer, Gardner, Goddard, Oliver, Sparhawk, Sumner, White, and several others.

Thomas Aspinwall Brewer first lived in Augusta, then Lexington, Georgia, before removing in 1838 to Vineville nearby to Macon, in Bibb County, Georgia where the proximity to Georgia's newest schools for women afforded the educational opportunities desired for his daughters Catherine Elizabeth and Adeline. Son Edward Ebenezer Brewer attended Amherst College, Massachusetts, and did not graduate - he appears to have learned the trade of painter (house-painting, decorative arts, gilding, glazier, and sign painting in the tradition of the coach painters and decorative work of the Gore and Grant cousins in Massachusetts) while in Boston rather than finishing college.
Thomas and Mary moved to Vineville, near Macon in Bibb County, and built their final home there sometime after 1830 and before 1840. In 1836, an Oglethorpe County, Georgia, court judgement is published in favor of Thomas Aspinwall Brewer:
OGLETHORPE Sheriff's sale ---
Will be sold, in the town of Lexington, in Oglethorpe county, on the first Tuesday in June next, within the usual hours of sale, the following property, to-wit :
One tract of land containing 250 acres, on the waters of Long Creek adjoining lands of David Dunn and others. Levied on as the property of Peterson Smith to satisfy sundry fi fas in favor of F. W. Cook and other fi fas levied against said Smith.
Also one negro girl, by the name of Sophia, the property of the said Smith.
One tract of land on the waters of Long Creek, levied on as Stephen Allen's property to satisfy sundry fi fas issued from a Justice's Court in favor of Thos. A. Brewer, vs. Stephen A. Allen. Levy made and returned to me by a Constable.

Unfortunately, this advert also includes brutal reminder of antebellum Georgia, where people were considered property. The early Massachusetts family also had servants and even slaves, but while in Massachusetts slavery was outlawed, the practice was not frowned on in early Georgia. We can only be glad that some of the family in post-antebellum years did promote social justice and did support education and opportunity for all including those whose lives began as enslaved persons. Such is history. Admiral Benson supported education in Maryland and spoke out against the organized hate that affected southern culture during his lifetime. Thank you, Admiral Benson.

COGSWELL - Cogswell's Grant
Cogswell Family: Westberry Lee
In 1636 the following entry appears in the Grants Book of the Town of Ipswich: "Granted to Mr. John Cogswell 300 acres of land at the further Chebokoe…"
John Cogswell (1592-1669) was born in Westbury Leigh, Wiltshire, England, and embarked for New England in 1635 with his wife and eight children. Their ship, the Angel Gabriel, was wrecked at Pemaquid Point, Maine, and though the family survived, they lost more than £5000 worth of property, including cattle, furniture, and money. After traveling south, Cogswell established a farm on the land granted to him in the part of Ipswich bounded by the Chebacco (or "Chebokoe") River, which is now the town of Essex.

"Samuel Newman — This pious divine was born at Banbury in Oxfordshire, in the year 1600, and educated in the University of Oxford. He imbibed the spirit of genuine Christianity, became an able minister of the New Testament, and shewed himself an avowed, but moderate nonconformist. This, indeed, rendered him obnoxious to the ruling prelates, by whom he was cruelly harassed and persecuted. Through the episcopal molestations he was silenced, and driven from one place to another, no less than seven times. But, agreeably to the advice of Christ, when he was persecuted, and not suffered to labour for the good of souls in one place, he fled to another. This he did till he could find no place of rest; and, at length, to avoid the fury of the persecuting bishops, he resolved to transport himself to New England, where he should be out of their reach. He arrived in the new plantation, with many other excellent Christians, in the year 1638; and spent one year and a half at Dorchester, five years at Weymouth, and nineteen at Rehoboth, in Plymouth Colony. He gave the name to the town last mentioned, because, upon a removal to that place, his flock, which before had been short of room might then say, "The Lord hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land." — Entry for Reverend Samuel Newman, in "The Lives of the Puritans, Volume 3".
"Newman's famous Concordance was the third in English ever published and greatly superior to its two predecessors. The first edition was published in London in 1643, just before Newman's removal from Weymouth to Rehoboth. At Rehoboth, he revised and greatly improved it, using in the evening (according to Ezra Stiles, a President of Yale) pine knots instead of candles. The second edition was published at Cambridge in 1662 and the concordance was usually known after that as the Cambridge Concordance. The concordance was reprinted at least as late as 1889, almost 250 years after it was first published." — Entry for Reverend Samuel Newman, Wikipedia.

JOSEPH WHITING
A brief biography of Joseph Whiting appears in the book, "The Early History of Southampton, L.I., New York," in which it states, "Joseph, the third son [of Rev. Samuel Whiting], was born April 6, 1641, graduated at Harvard in 1661, and assisted his father several years and was installed as his successor in 1679. He was twice married -- first to Sarah, daughter of Hon. Thomas Danforth, deputy governor of Massachusetts, and president of Maine, and again to Rebecca, who died April 21, 1726." Rev. Joseph Whiting left his parish in Lynn, Massachusetts to settle in Southampton, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York in 1683, where he was th parish pastor until his death in 1723. The marriage between Joseph Whiting and Rebecca Bishop is cited in the book, "The Early Settlement of Stamford, Connecticut 1641-1700," which has a biography of preacher John Bishop. It states, "An event of considerable excitement and rejoicing for the village took place in 1684. This was the marriage of John Bishop's daughter Rebecca. The bridegroom was the Reverend Joseph Whiting of Long Island, a man twenty-one years her senior whose first wife had died."

THOMAS ASPINWALL DAVIS, 10th Mayor of Boston, Massachusetts was, like his first cousin Thomas Aspinwall Brewer, a grandson of Lt. Col. Thomas Aspinwall.
The Robert S. Davis House, Brookline
Built for Robert Sharp Davis, Jr.
The Robert S. Davis House is a historic house at 50 Stanton Road in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built about 1859 for the scion of a locally prominent family, it is one of the town's best-preserved examples of Italianate architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
The Robert S. Davis House is located in a residential area between Brookline Village and the town high school, at the southeast corner of Stanton and Greenough Streets. It is a 2-1/2 story wood-frame house, three bays wide, with a side-gable roof, twin interior chimneys, and a cupola. It has well-preserved Italianate styling, including corner quoins, deep eaves with dentil moulding and paired brackets, heavily capped windows on the first floor, and a central gable on the main facade.
The land on which this house was built belonged to Robert Sharp Davis, Sr. a descendant of Ebenezer Davis, who owned land in Brookline since the mid-18th century. It was built for Davis' son, also named Robert Sharp Davis, and is one of four similar Italianate houses in the immediate area. It is particularly rare as a well-preserved example of the classic Italianate box-like house with a central gable; most of the town's other Italianate houses outside this grouping are L-shaped in layout. The elder Davis' brother was Thomas Aspinwall Davis, who owned land on the other side of Brookline Village, and served as Mayor of Boston.

Dr. William Aspinwall married Susannah Gardner, a niece of Lucy Sparhawk Aspinwall (Lucy was the wife Dr. William's brother Lt. Col. Thomas Aspinwall). Thus, Lucy was an aunt to Dr. William Aspinwall's wife Susannah Gardner Aspinwall (who was the daughter of Lucy's sister Mary Sparhawk Gardner) – AND also an aunt by marriage, being Dr. William's sister-in-law.

THOMAS ASPINWALL BREWER
The Brewer family had lived in Roxbury since the 17th century. Their ancestor Daniel Brewer and his wife Johanna were early settlers, and the Brewers one of Roxbury's oldest families. Stephen Brewer and Susanna White, paternal grandparents of Thomas Aspinwall Brewer, are buried with Stephen's family in Eliot Burying Ground, Roxbury. The Stephen Brewer mansion, home to Thomas Aspinwall Brewer's paternal grandparents Stephen Brewer and Susanna White Brewer, is mentioned in several local histories. Mary Foster Brewer's grandfather Joseph Brewer was Stephen's brother. Joseph's wife Rebecca Weld Brewer was Mary's paternal grandmother. The Weld family were founders of Harvard College, as were several other ancestors of the young newly-married couple Thomas Aspinwall Brewer and Mary Foster Brewer. Nathaniel Brewer III, father of Stephen and Joseph, was a son of Margaret Weld and Nathaniel Brewer, Margaret being of the same Weld family as Rebecca (Rebeckah Weld Brewer, Mrs. Joseph Brewer).
In 1820, the old Aspinwall house and its grand elm were local landmarks in Brookline. The house was built by Peter Aspinwall at Muddy River in the 17th century was in 1820 owned by Thomas Aspinwall Brewer's great uncle, Dr. William Aspinwall. Both William and his brother Thomas built houses of their own, and the ancient manse was occupied by tenants including notable authors and other associates of the family.
The Thomas Gardner III house in Brookline, built for the father of Caleb Gardner (maternal grandfather of Lt. Col. Thomas Aspinwall and Dr. William Aspinwall), was at this time still occupied by Gardner descendants.
Thomas Aspinwall Brewer and Mary Foster Brewer were from old families long established in Massachusetts. They were second cousins, and cousins by several other shared family lines.
Today, a part of the 19th century house built for Thomas Aspinwall Brewer and Mary Foster Brewer at Vineville, Bibb County, Georgia, still stands, but is threatened by demolition. The house dates to about 1830 and was part of an extensive estate property consisting also of many outbuildings, some of which were used when the original home was moved closer to Vineville Avenue and rebuilt about 1917. Vineville had been a rural district, and by 1910 had been absorbed into the city of Macon, Georgia.

"Catherine Brewer Benson lived in the house with her father in 1840 when she was going to Wesleyan, and became the first woman in history to obtain a bachelor's degree," said historian Caitlin Mee, who lives in the neighborhood.
— 'IMPORTANT TO WOMEN'S HISTORY': Debate continues over whether to demolish century-old condemned Vineville home. Some neighbors say the house once belonged to the family of one of the first women ever to earn a bachelor's degree.

HISTORIC VINEVILLE HOME COULD BE TORN DOWN
A meeting was supposed to take place Wednesday about the home's future, but it was moved to next week due to the threat of severe weather.
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – The Catherine Brewer Benson House may soon be torn down.
Catherine Brewer Benson was the first woman in the world to receive a bachelor's degree.
She received the degree in 1840 after graduating from Wesleyan College.
Now there are talks for her home on Vineville Avenue to be torn down and replaced by an amphitheater.
The Big House Foundation owns the house.
Some residents say the house has too much history to be demolished.
"This historic home has international relevance, has national relevance, and it should not succumb to demolition," preservationist and area resident Elliott James-Fernandes said. "It should not have be erased as a figure of women's history."
A meeting was supposed to take place Wednesday about the home's future, but it was moved to next week due to the threat of severe weather.

Thomas Aspinwall Brewer and Thomas Aspinwall Davis, 10th Mayor of Boston, Massachusetts, were first cousins, their mothers being sisters Catharine Sparhawk Aspinwall and Lucy Aspinwall (daughters of Lt. Col. Thomas and Lucy Sparhawk Aspinwall).
Thomas Aspinwall Brewer had several aunts and uncles. Like his mother, all of his aunts married into families who were already associated by marriage or bloodlines to the family.
Lucy Aspinwall Davis Holden first married Ebenezer Davis III, who was a cousin to Edward Brewer by way of the White family. As Mr. Davis's widow, Lucy married James Holden, who was a Withington descendant.
Lucy Aspinwall and Ebenezer Davis III had several children. Their son Thomas Aspinwall Davis become the 10th Mayor of Boston, Massachusetts. Her son Reverend Increase Sumner Davis was a beloved and highly regarded scholar, orator, and minister. These sons were progressive and opposed the institution of slavery in America.
Thomas Aspinwall Brewer 's aunt Lucy witnessed many changes in 19th century Brookline. She and all of the family were highly regarded, and all were closely related to all of the leading Massachusetts and New England families in local, state, and national government as well as being friends.
Catharine Sparhawk Aspinwall married Edward Brewer. Edward Brewer died in 1812. Edward's wife Catharine died in 1821, soon after her son was married to his second cousin Mary Foster Brewer, a daughter of Ebenezer Brewer, Sr. and his first wife Mary Foster. Ebenezer Brewer, Sr.'s second wife Elizabeth White was an Aspinwall descendant - yet another example of strong ties shared by these "allied families" Aspinwall, Brewer, Gardner, Goddard, Oliver, Sparhawk, Sumner, White, and several others.

Thomas Aspinwall Brewer first lived in Augusta, then Lexington, Georgia, before removing in 1838 to Vineville nearby to Macon, in Bibb County, Georgia where the proximity to Georgia's newest schools for women afforded the educational opportunities desired for his daughters Catherine Elizabeth and Adeline. Son Edward Ebenezer Brewer attended Amherst College, Massachusetts, and did not graduate - he appears to have learned the trade of painter (house-painting, decorative arts, gilding, glazier, and sign painting in the tradition of the coach painters and decorative work of the Gore and Grant cousins in Massachusetts) while in Boston rather than finishing college.
Thomas and Mary moved to Vineville, near Macon in Bibb County, and built their final home there sometime after 1830 and before 1840. In 1836, an Oglethorpe County, Georgia, court judgement is published in favor of Thomas Aspinwall Brewer:
OGLETHORPE Sheriff's sale ---
Will be sold, in the town of Lexington, in Oglethorpe county, on the first Tuesday in June next, within the usual hours of sale, the following property, to-wit :
One tract of land containing 250 acres, on the waters of Long Creek adjoining lands of David Dunn and others. Levied on as the property of Peterson Smith to satisfy sundry fi fas in favor of F. W. Cook and other fi fas levied against said Smith.
Also one negro girl, by the name of Sophia, the property of the said Smith.
One tract of land on the waters of Long Creek, levied on as Stephen Allen's property to satisfy sundry fi fas issued from a Justice's Court in favor of Thos. A. Brewer, vs. Stephen A. Allen. Levy made and returned to me by a Constable.
One mahogany bedstead, levied on as the property of James Welborn to satisfy a fi fa in favor of Wiley Sledge.

Unfortunately, this advert also includes brutal reminder of antebellum Georgia, where people were considered property. The early Massachusetts family also had servants and even slaves, but while in Massachusetts slavery was outlawed, the practice was not frowned on in early Georgia. We can only be glad that some of the family in post-antebellum years did promote social justice and did support education and opportunity for all including those whose lives began as enslaved persons. Such is history. Admiral Benson supported education in Maryland and spoke out against the organized hate that affected southern culture during his lifetime. Thank you, Admiral Benson.

COGSWELL - Cogswell's Grant
Cogswell Family: Westberry Lee
In 1636 the following entry appears in the Grants Book of the Town of Ipswich: "Granted to Mr. John Cogswell 300 acres of land at the further Chebokoe…"
John Cogswell (1592-1669) was born in Westbury Leigh, Wiltshire, England, and embarked for New England in 1635 with his wife and eight children. Their ship, the Angel Gabriel, was wrecked at Pemaquid Point, Maine, and though the family survived, they lost more than £5000 worth of property, including cattle, furniture, and money. After traveling south, Cogswell established a farm on the land granted to him in the part of Ipswich bounded by the Chebacco (or "Chebokoe") River, which is now the town of Essex.

"As Henry Shearman the elder, of Colchester, Essex, he left a will dated 20 January 1589/90, with a codicil dated 26 February 1589/90, proved in London 25 July 1590. The will named son Henry Shearman and his children Henry, Samuel, Daniel, John, Ezechiell, Phebe, Nathaniel, and Anne Shearman; son Edmonde Shearman and his children Edmonde, Richard, Bezaliell, Anne, and Sara Shearman (all under age; sons under 22, daughters under 21), son-in-law William Petfield and his children Richard, Susan, and Elizabeth Petfield (all under age); wife Margerye; son Robert; Jane and Anne Shearman, underage daughters of Robert [evidently the testator's son Robert]; daughter Judith Petfield; son-in-law Nicholas Fynce; the wives of sons Edmond, Henry, and Robert; the poor of All Hallows [i.e., All Saints, Colchester]; and the poor of Dedham and the free school of Dedham (the testator asked to be buried in Dedham). Executors were to be sons Henry and Edmond.
Henry Sherman, a prominent clothier in Dedham, who died in 1590, had several children. His two eldest sons, Henry the younger and Edmund, had between them fifteen grandchildren who settled in New England, either as young adults or with their parents."

"Samuel Newman — This pious divine was born at Banbury in Oxfordshire, in the year 1600, and educated in the University of Oxford. He imbibed the spirit of genuine Christianity, became an able minister of the New Testament, and shewed himself an avowed, but moderate nonconformist. This, indeed, rendered him obnoxious to the ruling prelates, by whom he was cruelly harassed and persecuted. Through the episcopal molestations he was silenced, and driven from one place to another, no less than seven times. But, agreeably to the advice of Christ, when he was persecuted, and not suffered to labour for the good of souls in one place, he fled to another. This he did till he could find no place of rest; and, at length, to avoid the fury of the persecuting bishops, he resolved to transport himself to New England, where he should be out of their reach. He arrived in the new plantation, with many other excellent Christians, in the year 1638; and spent one year and a half at Dorchester, five years at Weymouth, and nineteen at Rehoboth, in Plymouth Colony. He gave the name to the town last mentioned, because, upon a removal to that place, his flock, which before had been short of room might then say, "The Lord hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land." — Entry for Reverend Samuel Newman, in "The Lives of the Puritans, Volume 3".
"Newman's famous Concordance was the third in English ever published and greatly superior to its two predecessors. The first edition was published in London in 1643, just before Newman's removal from Weymouth to Rehoboth. At Rehoboth, he revised and greatly improved it, using in the evening (according to Ezra Stiles, a President of Yale) pine knots instead of candles. The second edition was published at Cambridge in 1662 and the concordance was usually known after that as the Cambridge Concordance. The concordance was reprinted at least as late as 1889, almost 250 years after it was first published." — Entry for Reverend Samuel Newman, Wikipedia.

JOSEPH WHITING
A brief biography of Joseph Whiting appears in the book, "The Early History of Southampton, L.I., New York," in which it states, "Joseph, the third son [of Rev. Samuel Whiting], was born April 6, 1641, graduated at Harvard in 1661, and assisted his father several years and was installed as his successor in 1679. He was twice married -- first to Sarah, daughter of Hon. Thomas Danforth, deputy governor of Massachusetts, and president of Maine, and again to Rebecca, who died April 21, 1726." Rev. Joseph Whiting left his parish in Lynn, Massachusetts to settle in Southampton, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York in 1683, where he was th parish pastor until his death in 1723. The marriage between Joseph Whiting and Rebecca Bishop is cited in the book, "The Early Settlement of Stamford, Connecticut 1641-1700," which has a biography of preacher John Bishop. It states, "An event of considerable excitement and rejoicing for the village took place in 1684. This was the marriage of John Bishop's daughter Rebecca. The bridegroom was the Reverend Joseph Whiting of Long Island, a man twenty-one years her senior whose first wife had died."

The Robert S. Davis House, Brookline
Built for Robert Sharp Davis, Jr.
The Robert S. Davis House is a historic house at 50 Stanton Road in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built about 1859 for the scion of a locally prominent family, it is one of the town's best-preserved examples of Italianate architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
The Robert S. Davis House is located in a residential area between Brookline Village and the town high school, at the southeast corner of Stanton and Greenough Streets. It is a 2-1/2 story wood-frame house, three bays wide, with a side-gable roof, twin interior chimneys, and a cupola. It has well-preserved Italianate styling, including corner quoins, deep eaves with dentil moulding and paired brackets, heavily capped windows on the first floor, and a central gable on the main facade.
The land on which this house was built belonged to Robert Sharp Davis, Sr. a descendant of Ebenezer Davis, who owned land in Brookline since the mid-18th century. It was built for Davis' son, also named Robert Sharp Davis, and is one of four similar Italianate houses in the immediate area. It is particularly rare as a well-preserved example of the classic Italianate box-like house with a central gable; most of the town's other Italianate houses outside this grouping are L-shaped in layout. The elder Davis' brother was Thomas Aspinwall Davis, who owned land on the other side of Brookline Village, and served as Mayor of Boston.
