He was a Whig of the revolution. His politics were of the Washington school. He was a senator from the county of Essex in the Massachusetts Legislature, from 1784 to 1789, when he was elected a representative to the first and three successive U. S. Congresses, under the new Constitution, 1789-96; in 1796, a senator in U. S. Congress for Mass., retiring from public life in 1800. He was son of Benjamin and Martha (Hardy) Goodhue, born at Salem, 20 Sept., 1748; graduated Harvard College 1766; died 28 July, 1814; leaving an irreproachable name to his then only surviving son, Jonathan Goodhue of New York, a merchant who in character and credit stood second to none in that commercial emporium. The house above was built by a Mr. Luther, and the next, the brick house, by Samuel K. Putnam,-I should think between 1806 and 1810. These two houses now belong to John M. Anderson, Esq. I have an indistinct recollection of the first named, and Mr. Putnam, I knew very well. These two houses were tenanted by various families, from 1810 to 1820, many of whom I knew, but can now recollect but one, as living at the present time, and that one is a gentleman, well known and highly respected, residing in Peabody,-Major Lewis Allen, who will be, if living, ninety years old next July. One house still remains, the next above, the Mrs. Greenwood house, removed there, I think, about 1812, from the upper portion of Chestnut street to make room for the houses of the Messrs. Saltonstall, Esqrs., now standing on the location. I have no doubt that some mistakes may be pointed out in these notes, and many omissions, but should think they were substantially correct.
