THE HARADENs OF SALEM AND BELFAST. In
The Journal of March 9th this paragraph APP
peared in article on the "Ships and Sailors
of Old Salem"
Then one reads of Capt. Jonathan Haraden,
born IN Gloucester, 1.-The foremost fighting
privateersman of Salem during the Revolution.
and one of the ablest men that fought in that
war at1oat or ashore" and wonders if he was
an ancestor of the Haradens of Belfast.
Mrs. Esther Gardner Davis of this city, for
many years a resident of Salem, Mass, was
able to answer this question. When in Salem
she lived near Mrs. Kennedy, one of Capt.
Jonathan Harsdens descendants, and found
her most delightful and interesting neighbor
Mrs. Kennedys home was furnished with val
liable relics handed down from generation to
generation of the Haraden family. From
Mrs, Kennedy Mrs. Davis learned of the con-
nection of the Haradens of Belfast with the
Salem family and she thinks Capt. Jonathan
Haraden was the grandfather of the late
Daniel Haraden of this city. He built on Es-
sex street the first brick house in Salem and it
still stands; but is now tenement house, the
last of the name. Capt. Andrew Haraden, hav-
ing died several years ago. One room in this
house has been restored to its old time splen-
dor and has proved very popular as public
tea room. Capt. Jonathan Haraden is describ-
ed as very handsome man, with fine ply
sique, and was always deliberately dressed.
piece of white vest that he wore on special
occasions is in the Salem museum and Mrs.
Davis says it seems to be about half an inch
thick. The family were prominent socially
and commercially, in the early days of historic
Salem.
SHIPPING ITEMS. Two big schooners, which
| were built primarily for the coal-carrying
trade, left Boston April LIST for Southern ports
to load railroad ties. The recent advance in
| frelghts on ties makes the charter of the two
schooners particularly profitable one. The
George w. Wells, the first sx-master ever

are the vessels. The Wells will load $4,000
ties at Fernandina for Boston at 81 cents and
the Urann will load at Brunswick for New
York at about the same rate. Some years
ago The Journal kept a standing list of the
movements of deep water local vessels, ships,
banks and briggs, occupying nearly column
This gradually diminished in length as the YES
sells were sold, lost or became barges. and the
remaining craft were reported in our weekly
shipping list. That, too, is diminishing in
length, occupying last week little more than
one quarter of a column. :. Sch. Susie P. Oliver
