Excerpt from Life and Letters of Thomas Gold Appleton Thomas Gold Appleton was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on the 31st of March, 1812. His father was Nathan Appleton, a merchant of Boston. The Appletons emigrated from Suffolk, England, to America, in 1635, and settled in Ipswich, Massachusetts. A part of the original grant of land held by them still remains in the possession of the family. Samuel Appleton, their ancestor, was a sturdy Puritan; he transmitted his principles and convictions to his sons, John and Samuel, who gained distinction in their time as stanch defenders of civil and religious liberty, by resisting the arbitrary measures of Sir Edmund Andros, the colonial Governor, in 1687, a period when such resistance entailed persecution and imprisonment. Nearly a century later, Deacon Isaac Appleton, of the fifth generation since the emigration of the family to New England, went to New Ipswich, New Hampshire.
