BIOGRAPHICAL
STATEMENT
John Gaines II and Thomas Gaines were
father and son chairmakers and turners in Ipswich, Massachusetts, during the
first half of the 18th century. They were also the father and brother of noted
The progenitor of this Gaines family was
Henry Gaines, who emigrated from
Thomas I remained with this father, became
a turner and chairmaker, and eventually took over his father’s business. He married a woman named Salome
(1709-1793). Their eldest son Thomas II
(1740-1821) also became a chairmaker. Thomas II married Elizabeth Woodbury in
1784. Two of their children were named
Elizabeth and Salome.
The Salome referred to in the papers in
this collection was probably she who was the wife of Thomas I. The Elizabeth Gaines in these papers is
probably the daughter of Thomas II, although there were other family members
with the same name.
SCOPE
AND CONTENT
This collection contains an account
book, letters, poems, tax notices, and deeds relating to several generations of
the Gaines family. The account book kept
by chairmakers and turners, John Gaines II and his son Thomas Gaines, provides
the earliest known account of an American chairmaker. Early on, the book was used by John, but by
the mid 1730s, entries were made by Thomas as well. Entries dating from 1707-1762 indicate that
the Gaineses made great, low, banister back, slat back, crown back, carved
back, and children's table chairs.
Chairs were either painted black, varnished, or sold unfinished
(white). The account book notes that a
great chair in 1711 sold for nine or ten shillings, but by 1747, the price had
increased to 40 shillings. White chairs
were less expensive than black ones.
They also turned table legs, bedposts, and stair banisters.
Besides making chairs, the Gaineses also
repaired them, most often replacing the rush seat bottom. As well, they repaired hand tools by making
new handles and wooden parts for such items as hoes and knives. They fixed spinning wheels, made ladies'
fans, and made button molds by the dozens.
They also turned taps and "fassets," presumably for the kegs
of cider they sold. The Gaineses farmed
as well, selling corn, beef, veal, sheep, thatch, and other produce, and
provided such sundry labor as weighing fish, "hanging a scythe," and
transporting goods and people by horse.
Written inside the back cover of the account book is part of the Gaines
family genealogy.
Some letters pertain to the power of
attorney and administration of estates; others are personal. One letter details family history. Deeds
document the sale of property in Ipswich, Mass.
The poems and songs belonged to one of the Elizabeth Gaines, perhaps the
same as she who drew the picture of Old North Church. The significance of the scrap of silk with
the name Joseph Sawyer is not known.
