Dear Children,
Tonight I shall share a story about one of your earliest ancestors in America. She was:
Esther /Hester/ Makepeace
b. 1634 England
d. unknown date, Boston
The reason she has two names is that some places it is written Hester and other places Esther. I'm just going to call her Esther. She was born in Bristol, England and came to America with her father, probably after her mother died in about 1638. In 1655 she married John Browne, the Scotsman. You can read all about their life together in his story. It was an exciting life.
What I want you to remember about Esther is how her family came by the name of “Makepeace.” This is the story as written down in a book called "The Gustin and Carlisle Genealogy", by Lester C. Gustin, 1954, Modern Press, Newton, MA:
“ There was a legend that a certain Scottish King desired to marry a princess of England at a time the two countries were at war with one another. The princess agreed to marry the king provided a peace between the two countries was made. This was done and the family of the princess was known henceforth as the Make-peace family. The heroine of this story was Joan, sister of King Henry III of England, and the name Make-peace was given by the Scotch, because of her betrothal to their monarch, by which peace was brought about by the two countries.”
So never think that what you do can't make a big difference in the world. I suppose it helps if you're a princess!
Love,
Granny
