BIOGRAPHICAL
STATEMENT
Rogers L. Barstow resided in
Barstow was the son of Rogers Lewis Barstow
(1811-1860) and Abigail Hammond Willis (1811-1880). He had several brothers and sisters. According to an obituary, he attended Harvard
Medical School, but an illness made it impossible for him to continue in
medicine and he switched to banking and stock brokerage instead. In 1872, Barstow married Sarah Caroline
Baker. They had three children: Alice
(1873-1940), Rogers (1875-1961; married Rebecca Taylor Newbold, and they had
four daughters), and Ezra (1876-1931). Sarah died in 1879 and was buried at Forest
Hills Cemetery in Jamaica Plain, Mass. (other family members also buried here). Barstow’s sister Eliza lived with his family,
to care for children and house. Barstow
lived both in Mattapoisett, Plymouth County, and in Boston. He died on June 19, 1921.

which composed the set: dinner and breakfast plates, tea and soup plates, soup

butters, oval dishes, etc.). Bills from
grocers list every item purchased.
