The first of them known in this country was John Pickering, who was one Of the early settlers of Salem, and in 1642 bought of Sir George Downing's father the farm on Broad street in that town, which has ever since descended in the male line of the family, and always, except in a single instance, has been owned by a John Pickering, as it still continues to be. On it stands the ancient and picturesque mansion, the late summer residence of our deceased friend, who by his skilful arrangements converted the greater portion Of the farm into a beautiful and flourishing village.
