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

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
