The ages of many of the ladies are given on the parch.
ment,-but as a matter of courtesy to those living we have
thought best to omit them. One thing however is pretty
certain, that most of them are now full forty-six years of
age.
The following interesting account of the distinguished
persons whose portraits were exhibited at this Centennial
Celebration, taken from the Historical Collections, shows
how rich Portsmouth and its neighboring towns are in portraits of our distinguished ancestors:
John Wentworth, son of Samuel Wentworth, and grandson of Elder William Wentworth. He was a native of
Portsmouth, and was born January 16, 1671. He was a
counsellor from 1712 to 1717, and lieutenant governor
from 1717 to his death, December 12, 1730. Of his sixteen
children, fourteen survived him.
Benning Wentworth, son of the preceding, graduated at
Iarvard College in 1715, and afterwards went to England
and Spain, where lie remained several years. He was
appointed counsellor in 1734, and was governor from 1741
to 1767, when he was superseded by his nephew, John
Wentworth, He died Oct. 14, 1770, in his 75th year.
