David B. H. Martin Papers

David B. H. Martin was born in Danbury, Connecticut. He grew up in New York and graduated from Yale University and Harvard Law School. He is noted for his 4 decade career in federal, state and local government. His “Social Inventions” as he termed them began in 1957 with the Massachusetts Student Loan program. This innovative program, devised on behalf of Massachusetts Governor Christian Herter, might be described as first in the nation and prototype for the state and national student loan programs that followed.
He was the principal author of the Cape Cod National Seashore Act, 1961 on behalf of Massachusetts Senator Leverett Saltonstall.
Recognition and celebration of the Barnstable County Tercentenary (1985) and organization of the Barnstable County Charter Commission and Friends of the Schoolhouse (which saved the historic Barnstable Village Schoolhouse, Route 6A at Mill Way, from demolition) all originated with David B.H. Martin.
He was remembered at a Memorial Service at the Cape Cod National Seashore Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham on October 14, 1995, with Former U.S. Attorney General and Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Elliot L. Richardson among those paying tribute to his analytical, spoken and written precision as well as his efforts to strengthen participatory Government.

Abby & Elizabeth
Private journal on board the Herm Brig:
Abby & Elizabeth of New Bedford from Bordeaux for New York with a full cargo of brandy and wine principally the latter in boxes also prunes in jars also packed in boxes having on board two hundred tons measurement as calculated in Bordeaux or sated one cargo is as much as 2/3 boxes or what they call light freight it was stowed at the expense of the shipper by standards as of the custom of the Port and was all brought along side in lighters.
And out outward cargo of Rice & Cotton was all taken in lighters at the expense of the Consignee that also being the custom of the port for we were freighted out by the cask and bale.
Whoever enters a French port must be very particular to manifest everything on board and be ready for the officers of first arrival. They searched us in Pouillac thoroughly even into our chests and under our berths in the cabin but I had everything specified and had no trouble.
The Chart and Sailing directions I had for Bordeaux I found to be very, good, indeed and the Buoys all in their places and the pilots I should think attention.
The lighthouse at Corduan is an excellent structure and can be seen 30 miles in a clear night.
All vessels whether bound up the river or down must stop at Pouillac and the master must go to the guard ship with his papers for examination it is 33 miles below Bordeaux. The tide wind very strong in this river particularly the ebb I should think 5 knots at Bordeaux we filled all our water from alongside which though thick and muddy in appearance in the river is very, good to carry to sea at least so I think now after being at sea 23 days and using it for all purposes.
Ships of 24 or 5 feet draft do go to Bordeaux but there being some shoal places in the river such have to take steam up and down which is expensive or if they do not do that and draw over a certain draft I think 14 feet are obliged to hire a large sow barge with a crew to pull her to check the vessels head. All this if the pilot asks for it or he may and after does enter into a private arrangement with the captain to get his vessel down without either provided the Captain will pay him 10 or 20 dollars what he calls gratification many and they generally get them down without any trouble provided they do not draw too much water.
No vessel can enter at the Custom House without employing a ship broker who all receive their appointments from the government and the vessel must pay them 1 Franc and a half for ton by the register and so also outwards our charges out and in all included amounted to $ 135.50 and out pilotages were $57 up and down besides 2½ per cent commission on both the outward & inward freights. Our outward cargo being Rice which is of course classed as bread stuff we were exempted from Tonnage Duty except so far as 104 Bales Cotton rated or weighed for which we were charged about 19 dollars Tonnage Duty in the above amount of $ 135.50 is included Lasoretto dues mooring the vessel entering the vessel at Customs house and other officers and at the Brokerage inwards 1½ francs per ton on ships register Declaration & protest at Custom house on returning do at the Tribunal of Commerce advertisement in Newspapers against trusting the crown.

Stephen Smith Collection 1805–1875

Boston cabinetmaker, inventor in the 1830’s of the roll-top desk; pioneer land developer and planner, and owner of a model farm and other properties in Barnstable. The papers record the conduct of the firm of Stephen Smith & Co., Cornhill, Boston, a furniture business and real estate partnership with considerable holdings in that part of Boston known as Ward Eleven, or South End. Many fine buildings, including Minor Hall, Concord Hall, Lincoln Hall, and the Smith Block, as well as properties on Washington, Concord, and Commercial Streets, were built and owned by this firm. The “desk” business was auctioned off in 1875 following the death of Stephen; but the real estate business continued in the family until 1945.
Included in these papers are bills and receipts, specifications for buildings and repairs, rental agreements, contracts, promissory notes, mortgages, lists of properties owned and tenant-occupied, insurances, and tax records, as well as agreements with the many craftsmen who were hired to make furniture for the firm.
Included also are papers arising from the operation of the Barnstable farm, which was conducted by Stephen in the early years as an absentee gentleman farmer. In the later years, when, when Stephen spent more time in Barnstable, letters were sent to his son Charles in Boston directing him in the conduct of the real estate business. The records reveal that in 1849–1850, in return for shares in expected profits, Stephen provided the necessary capital for persons “desirous of proceeding to the gold regions of California on adventures for gain,” and that Charles, in1869, in return for a share in the patent rights and any profits derived there-from, provided capital to an inventor of a “new method of recoloring cloths.”
Among the personal papers are biographical and genealogical data; correspondence of the children of Stephen and Eliza D.: Eliza D. (wife of John B. Bartlett); Adeline (wife of William Henry Allen); Edward F.; and Charles L., all of Boston; and Cousins George L. and Henry H. Stafford. The family correspondence includes letters and invoices relating to the order and delivery from Rome of a marble bust of Stephen, to be placed in the family plot in Forest Hills Cemetery. Also included are papers in the estate of Stephen and his wife (d. 1873); the last will and testament of Charles (1886); and records of church and other organizational affiliations of Stephen.
