A Centennial Celebration oration, given by a notable member of one of 
the great political and philanthropic families of the Bay State. Robert 
Charles Winthrop [1809-1894], a descendant of John Winthrop, studied law 
with Daniel Webster, and served as Speaker of both the House of 
Representatives in Massachusetts and the House of Representatives in 
Washington, before retiring from politics at age 41 to devote the 
remainder of his long life to literary and philanthropic pursuits. He 
served for 30 years as president of the Massachusetts Historical 
Society, and upon his birthday in 1892, “it was noted that he had the 
distinction of having known every President of the United States except 
Washington and Jefferson”. A noted orator, he spoke at the dedication of 
the Washington Monument in 1848. His great-great grandson is former 
Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts.
