The Robinson-Silsbee House (b, _L-t 1669; 179(. ,
69# ex St . Salem
eport by Edward Windsor Car erg
-I-
With all the facts available on at least a PORTION of this house 's
construction one would think that researching the dwelling would be an
easy matter That would be the wrong assumption , Also , a very prominent
iSalem family was connected with the second portion of construction , and ,
because of their prominence researching it would seem to be simple. That
notion is likewise incorrect .
Two points are quickly evident in the Robinson-Silsbee House tale
first , that (at least partially) it involves the OLDEST construction (Puri-
tan era) of the six structures involved in these reports , and second , its
story has been somewhat intimately connected with that of two neighbors , the
MOSES T. UPTON HOUSE .,, at 672Essex St . , and the Narbonne House (c . 1672) at
71tfEssex St .
The Salem Historic District Committee Report (1 68) states that the first
phase of construction at 691rEssex Street took place toward the end of the 17th
century specifically by Samuel Robinson, "a Salem baker" . The Salem Vital he-
cords (1849) notes that Samuel Robinson was born in Salem in 1639 , and almost
certainly this was the house 's builder , in 1669 (Salem Historic Listric� , etc . )
This structure , the back part of the present building , stood a good number of
feet to, the rear from the current sidewalk or street line .
Robinson is listed in the Registry of Deeds (Vol. 2 ,Pg. 14 ) as buying the
.tea Salem fisherman ,
Essex St. property from Paul '91ansfield ( - ) on epril 7 ,1661 , with )'J.thee
sale price being "45 shillings " . This sale is quoted in Sidney Perley 's informa-
tive work A Part of Salem in 1700 (1899) , excerpted from "The Essex Antiqua-
rian" , and in the deed 's instructions Robinson was ordered not to transfer the
property to any one else but his children "or his wife , Constance " . Robinson
kept this promise for 8 years , in which time (as noted in the deed that follows )
he "built a house upon the land" ,
Exactly 8 years after Robinson bought the house from Mansfield , he "con-
obinson-Z-ils'bee house neport, cont ' d. -2-
veyed the, house and lot . . . .0 65o�s . . . to ivlichael Chapoan (d.1692 ) of Salem ,
eaman" , on April 7 ,1669 . Chapleman , of whom little is known at present , held
he property for a month beyond 23 yrs . , i.e . , until his death on Way 7 , 1692
arly in the year of the notorious "Witchcraft Dilemma" . (Vol. 3 rg.54)
And what of Samuel Robinson ? How was the rest of his life spent ? At the
resent time 1 cannot give a clear answer . The name "Samuel Robinson" appears
n various Salem Town Records toward the end of the 1600s and the beginning of
he 1700s , such as the following :
Salem Co'mmoners ' Records , 1713-1739
"Samuel Robinson , house in Town (i.e a ,
alem) .4. .ye
house , ytt parnell Liues in 1661 (0) ; 1702 (2) "
The notations and archaic spellings of the Puritans makes the modern researcher
hink he is deciphering hieroglyphics , but THESE things did have meaning to those
ho originally wrote them. )
he Essex lnstitute Historic Collections shows Samuel Robinson buying property in
THER parts of Salem , in the late 1690s , but it is difficult to connect the sales
ith the man of 691rEssex btreet . Also :
A Samuel Robinson, jr, of Salem , and a Mary Whittemore were
married at Charlestown (probably ) , "prior to 1695 "
Mrs .Martha Robinson -Beane , a widow , daughter of Samuel Robin-
son and 1°iartha Hawkins Robinson , married Samuel Pope in Salem
in 1709
o different wives appear with the Samuel Robinson in the above listings : was,
' ther of them married to the man in this house report ? The answer remains un-
own . Samuel Robinson , the creator of the original dwelling at 69AEssex Street,
s 30 when he sold the house , and he slides into the background afterward , He
y have lived 'til after 1700 sometime , but his story will have to wait for Pu-
re research .
Returning to the story of the Robinson House itself , it is not certain
at changes Chapleman made in the structure during his tenure of ownership al-
obinson-Silsbee House eport,cont 'd. -3-
;hough the precise changes arliot known for certain (poAw ly some form of EXPAN_
ION) . The house was built "gable-end to the street " to begin with , and every-
hing would be added to that basic plan . The administrator of Chapleman 's estate
fold the property to young Nathaniel Silsbee , jr. (2674-1769) , a 26 or 27 yr. -old
alemite , a "joiner" by trade , "on Jan.5,1700-1701 , for30 pounds (oc,a) Es_
ex County Registry of Deeds ) This material is listed in book 14 , Leaf 136 .
Nathaniel Silsbee 's purchase of the Robinson-Chapleman estate began
long period of ownership by that family . Succeeding generations would make the
ilsbee name one of Salem 's most prominent and distinguished , but the family 's
period of ownership would also bring to the fore confusion in terms of historical
esearch about certain events and WHO specifically took part in them . One source
tates that Nathaniel Silsbee left his Essex Street property to his son , William
ilsbee (d.1783 ) , a Salem housewright ( who was born in 1715) , and then Silsbee
s widow , Joanna Fowles Silsbee ,(113-1793 ) , inherited it and "died possessed
f the estate " . However , Sidney Yerle,y 's Salem in 1700 (2899) states (almost
ertainly erroneously) that William Silsbee (1674-1769) owned the Wichael Chaple-
an Estate , east of the Narbonne House with HIS wife , Joanna Fowles Silsbee ,
'wning it after his death In reality Nathaniel Silsbee (1674-1769 ) was married
�o MARY DANIEIS (1696(?, ) and his SON , William (married to Joanna) held the
roperty for a while after Nathaniel 's death . The strange part about all this is
hat Nathaniel 's son , William (d.1783 ) is NOT IMENT1ONED in the deaths in the 6a-
em Vital Records (1849) .
The second mystery involving the Robinson House deals with the time.. of
s EXPANSION to the sidewalk boundary . The Salem Historic Listrict Study Report
tes that in Dr.William Hentley (1759-1819) 's Diary it was recorded that , in
90 "Silsbee near the meeting house a � :d: afame, a�ljoiing-1�iS1 ?t`ore and Lwel-
'ng" A check of the Liary itself notes that this event occurred before to Nov.
h of that year when the event was recorded . The Historic District Study , how-
er , states that in a list of Salem houses alledgedly had the building "still
t that time ) setting back from the street" , so there is another point of confu-
Robinson-Silsbee House xeport , cont ' d. -4-
-sion and. conflict l origioly believed that "ailsbe*had built an addition
to his house in the form of a store , but it may be that the front addition was
in the form of a RESIDENCE , with the store being in the "lean-to " portion of the
ancient Narbonne House , to the west of it . In fact , my research leads me to
conclude that NO STORE was present in the Robinson-Silsbee House until c .1921 .
NO 19th century photos of the house show ANY SORT of changes which would indicate
the presence of a store (then) in the building . The Silsbee family owned the
Narbonne House for some time , and it was during that period that the "cent shop"
opened in the "lean-to " . (Of course , there is a chance that the street numbers
were increased slightly over a number of years , but this is uncertain. )
The other problem connected with this dwelling in the 18th century is
'determining WHICH Silsbee built this addition onto the original Robinson House
Sidney Verley 's Salem in 1700 continues that Mrs .Joanna F. Silsbee owned the Ro-
binson House , and after her death and sometime before Oct.5,1798 (according
to Perley ) , HER widowed daughter lvlrs .lylartha Silsbee Babbidge (1742-1804) ,
(whose late husband had been Capt .Christopher Babbidge (1741-1792 ) ) , took con-
trol of the property , and afterward entered into an agreement along with her
son ,Christopher Babbidge (1770-1837 ) • Rut to backtrack a bit , it seems
that 14014E of the above parties were involved in the building of the frontal ad-
dition . That "honor" would fall on either Capt .Nathaniel Silsbee ,Sr. (1749-1?91 )
or his more famous son , Capt. (and later U.S .Senator) Nathaniel Silsbee ,Jr.
(1773-1850) .
The irony connected with this association is that William Silsbee , who
departed this life at the age of 48 , was a housewright , trained for such tasks
nd practicing them before death took him in 1.783 , but apparently had nothing
hysically to do with expanding the Robinson dwelling . The first candidate would
e his son , Capt .Nathaniel Silsbee . James Duncan Phillips in Salem in
he 18th Century (1937 ) wrote that the senior Silsbee owned the brigantine "Fame ",
privateer in the Revolutionary War , in partnership with the great trading mag-
ate , Elias Hasket Derby , with the vessel being commanded by Samuel Hobbs ( 17

The book , �'Ienry Silsbee And Some of rlis Descendants (latdl'1800s ) by
iJames ✓�. Dmmerton,M.D• , fills in numerous; details on the senior -ilsbee 's life .
it notes early on that ilath�:niel,ur. was one of 5 children , with sisters olartha,
(Joanna , and 1lannah , and a brother v+illiam Silsbee (c . 1749-1794) , ,,he was also
a mariner . Ia.rtha 'nilliam on i"orsyth Duren in her ambitious vrork .'Three Gene-
rations- of S'ilsbees and Their VesseLs (1y24) states that Nathanie:L,or. anu his
Ldife &arah Becket Silsbee L750 1832 ) raised 8 children in his house on Laniels
St. specifically at 27W (this home has been modified greatly in the 20th cen-
tury an older photo sho�ns it to be a wiaer , deeper structure , but a good
of it appears to h=ive been 'sliced off' sometime early in the 1900s . given so ,
Architecture in Salem , an Illustrated Guide (1983 ) , mentions it as an historic
ouilding and gives it a few lines . )S Dr.Emmerton 's book notes that "at a. very
sarly age (somewhat :Like his son , years laterp as en��Lls�2d with the charge of
a vessel and cargo to the �+est Indies and subsequently he was the owner of sever-
al vessels employed in that trade "

,ept on unitil reverses reduced his estate to a single vessel , in the command
f which he once more braved the winds and waves where he had early sought and
cquired fortune and fame " During all this time , of course , no mention is
»de of any additions to the Robinson house on Essex Street . He lived for 8 yrs . -
fter his father , but , as 111rs . Duren 's book states , spent most of his time at
ea. , spending only short visits at home . oilsbee 's mother continued to ol,^.•n the
roperty througho:ut. this period :):_ and Capt. Nathaniel Silsbee died in 1gel,. York
'ity harbor , on June '5, 1791 (as mentioned at the beginning of this page ) . Em-
erton states that the senior Silsbee was buried "in the center of the 1Jew Brick
resbytarian Church , fronting the i'ark (U NTRAI PARR,? ) "

The best-known chit k this =imerican seacaptalowas iiathaniel Silsbee ,
r. (1773-1850) . The Salem Historic District utudy Uommittee }report (1968 ) says
hat `1'}ilS Silsbee was born in the old Robinson douse on Essex street , but offers
o proof on that subject . The Biographical Jirectory of the Americanyongress
1950) says that the younger Silsbee "attended private schools " , but was forced
to withdraw because of his father 's financial reverses . ;s both Dr.-Emrnerton and
irs . Duren 's bobks recount , he vent to sea at the aCe of 14 , and was on the high
eas for six years straight . Uould he have constructed the addition to his fami-
y 's Essex Street house at the age of 17 (in 1790) ? This sounc.s absurd on the
;ace of it , but it is not impossible . Yha.t rna.kes it unlikely is that his fs.ther
'as still living at that time ' (although his 0Vl4 case is weak , as 1 have detailed
artier in this report ) , his mother was still living , and he was at sea most
f the time .
Who Was v+ho In America (1976 ) states that Aathaniel ailsbee ,Jr, was made
ommander of the ship "denjamin" in 1793 , his twentieth year , This future U .s .
enator ,%,as an experienced searaan at a "tender age " , and , as Dr.L;'rnmerton 's book

nd his mate under 2.1 yrs , of ager ',' whatever control he exercised over his pa-
ents ' house was relinquished a fevv years after his grandrnother.'s death , ias. ,
erley 's writings note that Aathaniel 's widowed aunt , virs .,uartha Silsbee Emrner-
n Babbidge (1742-1804) was in control of the property by late fall , 1?98 ,
ilsbee continued in the merchant trade , along with his brothers , Vil.liam Si1s-

by the Knights of 0olumbus . Silsbee had married aviary Crowninshield (1778-1835 )
of the prominent Crowninshield family , in 1802 , and was part-owner of 18 ships
during his successful career . He retired from business in 1835 .
Tax records no doubt would speak of the addition to the Robinson-Sils-
bee House ; most records 1 have consulted , unfortunately , do not . Many of the
changes dealing with this dwelling deal more with change in ownership than any-
thing else . Until 1 see further explanatory data , 1 will put the addition 's e-
rection in 1797 . Ivirs . Iviartha Silsbee Babbidge and her son , Christopher , sold
" 3/5ths of the estate to Samuel Townsend (1762-1801) of aalem` , mariner" in 1798;
unfortunately , this Salemite was "lost at sea" not long after the beginning of
the new century . Mansfield Burrill,Jr. (1768-1837) , another 'Salemite , and a
, took control of the other portion of the estate before 1798 .
Townsend's widow was ivlrs .Iviercy Stevens Townsend (1766-1844) , and she
lived in the house until her death , selling the 69>tEssex Street property to her
widowed daughter , Ivlrs .111ercy TownsendUpton (1796-1855) , who died "possessed of
the estate" (SEE MOSES T. UPT014 HOUSE REPORT,6721 EaSEX STREET) , Showing the
(business sense of the era , Ivirs .Townsend sold the property to her daughter for
850. 00 on Sept.20, 1838 (as noted in Parley 's Salem in 1700) . Mansfield Burrill
had acquired his portion of the Robinson-Silsbee Estate from "another (? 1 of the
children and heirs of Ivlrs.oilsbee (who ) released his or her share of the estate "
at an unnamed date , sometime before Ivlansfield sold his 4oldings to Samuel Town-
send , (that sale mentioned in Registry of Leeds . Vol. 164,f, 138) , for p480. 00 .
The mystery of the Silsbee heirs in the late 1700s (and as to whether
Nathaniel Silsbee ,Jr, was involved in any dealings connected with the property ) ,
is also complicated by trying to decide WHICH Ivlansfield Burrill bought the Robin-
son Iilsbee land from them . i had always believed the buyer was the YOU14GEH Bur-
rill (mentioned toward the beginning of this page) , but it could well have been
his FAT14ER , Iviansfield Burrill,ar. (1739-1826) , a Lynn native , who settled in
Salem in his younger years and married Joanna Gilsbee (1738-1832) , daughter of
Robinson-Oilsbee nouse Heport, cont 'd. -8-
William -zilsbee and Joanna lales 6ilsbee . Like his fuer-in-law Burrill,6r.
was a housewright . (Joanna Silsbee was the older sister , of course of Gapt.
Nathaniel Silsbee ,Sr. , the partner of the Derbys in the American Revolution and
the father of the prominent politician , Nathaniel Silsbee ,Jr. ) yerley wasn 't
certain , in Salem in 1700 , whether Burrill was Joanna Silsbee 's HUSBAND or
6014 , but present research shows he was the former . The other important point
was that he was a housewright , who even built a house "about 1776 on Es-
sex Street , next west of the rhillips school house " .
So , 1°iansfield Burrill entered the Silsbee family through his marriage
to Joanna , and it put him in a very good position to acquire ailsbee property .
(as his wife OUTLIVED him , of course , it is obvious he did not inherit it from
her will) Yet why would a man in his 50s or 60s , who had already built a house
on Essex Street , buy into this estate ? I suppose the idea is not unreasonable ,
but because of his years I had believed the junior Mansfield Burrill , in his
30s (probably) when a land transfer occurred , would have been more likely to
take this property (after all , the man whom Burrill later sold the property to
would only have been 8 yrs . younger) . The problem here is that a number of
sources (including the Burrill Genealogy Chart) say little about Aansfield,Jr. ;
they don 't even give his year of birth and say NOTHING about his occupation .
(A check of the Sa:Lem City Hall records gave me the surprising revelation that
Mansfield Burrill,Jr. 's death notice for 183.7 is NOT LISW) , nor is there a
death notice for his wife , Sally Randall Burrill , whom he married in 1794
up through the year 1880. )
Nathaniel Silsbee ,Jr. went quite far from his 'roots ' at 69trEssex St.
he served as U.� .senator from Massachusetts from 1823 to 1835 , and retired
from politics the same year he retired from active involvement in his own bu-
siness concerns , 1835 He may have had a 'passing interest ' (literally ) in
the house of his birth the domain of two of his aunts and grandparents , but
he had no involvement with what happened in its precincts .

Joseph Preston , it seems , has no direct connection with this report although
there may have been a partial relationship (SEE MUSES T. UPTON HOUSE REPORT) . T
mention him at this point because he no doubt made the young housewright , L+Ioses

Things were quiet , for the most part , at 69trEssex btreet , for the
greater bulk of years in the 19th century . The house 's use was strictly residen-
ial , and did not 'make the headlines ' either as the home of prominent people nor
s the location of exciting events . lyloses T. Upton was busy with his housewright
business at this time , living in the house for a number of years , and after his
death (and even though his widow , Lv1rs ,Sarah E. (Jackson) Upton , lived on. here

But the estate would remain under Polish-American control , at least 'til
he end of the 1920s . Changes were occurring on the property , probably some of
hem to the house itself . One difference that might have come outof these years
as the change in the building 's long roofline . An old drawing of the Silsbee-
obinson House , featured in Sidney Perley 's Salem in 1700 , shows the house 's
oofline to be straight , without any lower levels without any 'dips ' . The
RESENT roofline , however , shows the back 'half' of the structure to be
'lightly IAWER ,;perhaps about,:aaFOOT below. .the front section of the roof , t're-
isely when and WHY this change came about is uncertain , but it may have come
n the early. 1900s .

. 1 will not go anourther in the ownership othis historic house ,
in the 20th century , but before closing thi§ report::I still say .a fecv things
abort the OTHER significant change in its structural arrangement the addition
Df the variety store which continues in use to the present day As was noted
earlier in this report , NO store was present in this structure in its earlier
period and would not be present until into the 20th century . The change and how
it came about can be noted in the following Salem Directory excerpts :
1921 - 69FrEssex St. - hacpar Nikiel , machinist , & lvlary Nikiel
- Woodbury I . & Sarah Tompkins (wife )
(he was an engineer) -
- W . Gordon Tompkins , ship clerk

1922 - 69rrEssex St. - Lillian Id. Pratt , grocer & in residence
1924 - - 'Lillian 1A. Pratt , grocer "
1929 - - Laura ill. La Plante , grocer , in residence
Phus the Salem Directories show how a grocery or variety store finally came to
i9#Essex St. in the early 1920s , moving across the street from 70ifBssex to this
address . The protruding addition on the east side of the Silsbee-Robinson House
lust have been constructed for the store at this time , in 1921 . The house 's his-
tory has slid into the background but its use as a variety store has been a con-
;tant over the years . Ever since 1 was a little boy on Orange St, in the early
:950s , 1 can remember this place as ."Armand 's Variety " , after longtime owner ,
Irmand Richuits . Armand has retired in recent years , and his old store now bears
the odd name , "Ram Mart" but it still continues in use as a variety market
and will continue on into the future . The Silsbee-Robinson House is alive and
vell in the late 20th century even if very few people are aware of it .
Robinson-Silsbee house Addenda : Further research on lvlansfield Burrill 's purchase
>f Silsbee property reveals that the sale took place (>;?n'U'C1Z$24 ; ' ';}`:: , with the
Senior Burrill , listed as a "joiner" (carpenter) , buying property on Essex St.
Erom his father-in-law William Silsbee , also listed as a "joiner" , for the
Robinson-Silsbee House xeport, cont 'd. -13-
sum of 50 ' -, "lawful money tome in hand" , the land anouildings bordering nor-
therly on the "main street " , with the deed stating that Silsbee sold the OTHER
part of his estate there to another son-in-law , Elijah Haskoll (Haskell) This
sale was registered on Oct .24,1783 , and proves that the senior ivlansfield , NOT
his son , was the one who purchased the Silsbee property . (The sale is recorded
i1.n Vol.142 , Pg.l2 , of the Registry of weeds . ) Burrill was 43 yrs , old when he
(made this purchase , and Silsbee was 67 yrs , of age . Mansfield Burrill,Jr. 's oc-
cupation thus remains unknown , even though he later died in Salem . The PROBLEM
with the senior Burrill 's holdings , however , is that a search for his sale of
the land to Samuel Townsend (Vol. 164 , Pg. 138) , on Oct-5 ,1798 , has been frus-
trated by a rearrangement of the deeds for this period in the photostatic copies
of that particular deedbook , so a FINAL settlement of this issue has still
proved to be impossible .
