Grove Hirst, "Judge, Merchant, Esquire"

In Remembrance of Mr. Samuel Hirst :
the Eldest, and Only Surviving Son of Grove Hirst, Esq., Merchant, and Elizabeth Sewall His Wife (both His Younger Brethren Dying in Infancy) : Was Born at Boston, October 23, 1705 and Died Very Suddenly When He Was in His Way Upon the Long Wharff, at Two in the Afternoon, January 14, 1726/7

"By his wife, Hannah, the judge had fourteen children, of whom Samuel, Elizabeth (wife of Grove Hirst), Reverend Joseph, Mary (wife of Samuel Gerrish), and Judith (wife of Reverend William Cooper), lived to make their place in the world. Sewall married, second, 29 October, 1719, Abigail, daughter of Jacob Melyen, and third, Mary, daughter of Henry Shrimpton. Both were widows of prominence, and in that day marriage of elderly widowers and widows was held to be a duty not to be neglected. For this reason he sought comfort in marriage after each bereavement, and his diary narrates in great detail his courtships, his rebuffs, and his conquests. But Sewall was an able and distinguished citizen, too much associated in our minds, it is to be feared, with social events which played only a minor part in the main current of his life.
Sewall was entombed at Granary Burying Ground in Boston. His freestanding tomb is on the west side of the cemetery in center, opposite Paul Revere's marker."
