    VIII. John Still Winthrop (born in Boston, Jan.
    15, 1720; died in New London, June 6, 1776), Yale
    College, 1737. In early life he resided for some
    time in England, and occasionally in Boston ; but
    after his marriage chiefly in New London, where he
    built the large house (still standing) at the head of
    Winthrop's Cove, described in Peters's " History of
    Connecticut/ ' in 1787, as "the best house in the
    Province," and in which he died at the compara-
    tively early age of fifty-six. He had inherited
    neither the scientific tastes of his immediate ances-
    tors, nor any ambition to distinguish himself in
    public life ; but, on the other hand, he was an
    excellent man of business, and succeeded in disen-
    tangling his father's estate from the embarrassments
    resulting from the latter's imprudence. 1

    He married, 1st, in 1750, Jane, daughter of Francis
    Borland, of Boston, and granddaughter of Hon. Tim-
    othy Lindall, of Salem; and 2d, in 1761, Elizabeth,
    daughter of William Shirreff, of Annapolis, Nova
    Scotia, and widow of Capt. John Hay, 40th Foot.
    By both marriages he had issue, — in all, fourteen
    children. ...
