Collection: Thomas Wigglesworth, Jr (1814-1907) Papers

Thomas Wigglesworth Jr, a lifetime resident of Boston, was born 1 July 1814, the youngest son of Thomas and Jane Wigglesworth. He never married. The Wigglesworths were a prominent Massachusetts family. Thomas Sr was a wealthy merchant, well-known for his business integrity and acuity in the Calcutta and East India trade. After graduating from Harvard in 1833, Thomas Jr read law for a time, before deciding to involve himself in his father's counting house, along with his brother Edward. After a long career in trade he retired and turned his attention to his property in Boston, and generously donated to the arts for the rest of his life. He died in 1907.Please note that some of the metadata for this document has been drawn from the Peabody Essex Museum catalogue.
