For I find a List of persons of the ffrench nation admit-ted into the Colony by the Governor andCouncill, dated, Boston, Feb. 1, is nothing upon the Record to showwhether the 1691 should be so taken, orwhether it should be 1691-2. These are thenames of those then admitted, and their orderupon the Record : — Peter Devaux, his wife, daughter, and. an English maid ; Francis Legare [goldsmith]and two sons; James Montier, his wife andan English maid; Isaac Biscon, his wife ; Ben-jamin, John and Andrew Funell; Docter Bas-set ; Gabriel Bernon ; William Barbut; LouisAUare; Moses Secq; Peter Vrigne, to givesecurity next meeting. The Faneuils came from Rochelle, in France,and were brothers. Benjamin was the fatherof Peter, a name indelibly associated withFaneuil Hall. For some genealogical factsI can only refer my readers to Mr. Sargentsinteresting Dealings with the Dead, EveningTranscript, 22 Feb., 1851, for a satisfactoryaccount of the Faneuil family. The deathof Mrs. Mary Catharine, wife of Mr. An-drew Faneuil, is recorded in the Boston Ga-zette, No. 243. She died 16 July, high character is given ofher : — A gentlewoman ofextraordinary perfections, bothof mind and body. X The stores on Long wharfwere early numbered. At whattime buildings on the streets orwharves were first numbered
