Julia Maria Murray, who mar- 
ried A. L. Bingaman, Esq., of Mis- 
sissippi, the latter dying in the au- 
tumn of 1822, leaving a son, who 
married a Miss Livingston of New 
York. Mrs. Murray “died at Nat- 
chez, June 6, 1820, aged 60. 
The Sargent name was perpetu- 
ated through Epes Sargent, an 
uncle of Mrs. Murray, who was also 
a prominent Gloucester resident and 
several of his descendants became 
distinguished men, notably Epes 
Sargent, extensively known as a 
poet, dramatist and author of a 
series of popular school books. 
John Sargent, the famous portrait 
painter, traces his ancestry from 
these Gloucester Sargents and 
uncles and cousins, and even Mrs. 
Murray’s father were warm advo- 
cates of Rev. Mr. Murray and suf- 
fered much unhappiness from the 
hearty welcome they bestowed upon 
him and their belief in his doctrines. 
Thus in this old mansion lived 
the gifted woman who was to 
brighten the latter days of this ad- 
mirable founder and advocate of 
Universalism. 
He was described as a man of 
medium stature, of intelligent coun- 
tenance beaming with good nature 
and benevolence. Easy in his ad- 
dress and the gentleman in his man- 
ners. 
As ‘a preacher, he excelled in 
power, ease and grace, was highly 
gifted with great “facility and felic- 
ity of diction, and his impressive 
personality and the sincerity of his 
belief overrode the bigotry and in- 
tolerance of those who sought to 
destroy the views he tried to pre- 
sent and establish. Thus around 
this old mansion was woven a de- 
lightful romance of a noted person- 
age in religious history, and it was 
only the thought of Mrs. Shaw, 
whose fine inherited taste for the 
richness of historical associations 
and traditions, has preserved the 
old mansion and whose own per- 
sonal fortune has been used to re- 
store its original atmosphere and 
give to the public.a museum to 
visit filled with rare colonial relics. 
Among the treasures now adorn- 
ing the “Old Revolutionary House” 
are a Napoleon carved high-posted 
bed over 100 years old, Napoleon 
pitcher and bowl, Chippendale 
wash stand, Windsor chairs, ma- 
Logany low boys, carved Swiss 
table, Pier glass table, camphor 
wood chests, tables with feather 
carving, rare inlaid dining table 
rare pictures and mirrors of all de- 
Scriptions,. antique china of all de- 
signs and patterns, 150 pieces of 
rose Canton, Sheffield plate, Royal 
Canton with birds, bees and -flow- 
ers for decoration, exceedingly rare; 
old Satzuma Loewstoft, Spode 
Staffordshire, silver and copper 
lustre and every conceivable style 
obtainable, hundreds of pieces 
which adorn the quaint old closets, 
tables, etc., old cut and colored 
glass utensils, rush bottom chairs, 
beautiful desks, gold lacquer work 
boxes, beautiful inlaid tables, rare 
old Chippendale and Sheraton 
chairs, Davenport sofas, rare Chi- 
nese work boxes with ivory carved 
appliances. Most noticeable is the 
French marquetry hall clock, 183 
years old, valued at $1000, beautiful- 
ly inlaid and on its dial two moons, 
a farm scene and a marine scene ap- 
pear as the hours progress. There 
are two marquetry tables of the 
same period beautifully inlaid. 
A camphor wood writing desk 
like the one Napoleon used ‘during 
his island exile is another choice 
possession, while several rare crepe 
shawls, French chintz coverings, an 
original old Aubuson carpet, rare 
old books, lamps and countless oth- 
er articles go to make the old man- 
sion bewilderingly fascinating to 
the lover of the old-time arts. 
Mrs. Shaw also owns part of the 
Dalton set made for Lorenzo Pa- 
panti, the dancing master of the 
elite of Boston three generations 
ago. 
Thus the old mansion has been 
made a fitting monument to com- 
memorate the memory of Judith 
(Sargent) Stevens, second wife of 
Rev. John Murray, founder of the 
Universalist faith in America.
