Americans Accorded
Honors by Byifain

The first native American to be
knighted by an English monarch was
Sir William Pepperell. who was born
in Kittery, Maine, June 81, 1896 His
father was Welshman who came to
New England as an apprentice to a
fisherman. The son became mer-
chant and amassed a large fortune.
AS a military leader he took part in
several conflicts with the Indians and
attained much distinction. For thir
ty-two years he was member of the
royal council of Massachusetts. and as
chief justice of common pleas he
won eminence as jurist.
y Since Pepperell's time many Amer
leans have achieved knighthood and
higher British honors, Lord Aston and
Lord Shaughnessy. the former a ma
tive of New York and the latter of
Milwaukee, being among the more
prominent latter-day examples.
