Born in New York City, New York, USA on 18 Jun 1804 <br />Died 1879 <br />Benjamin ROBERT WINTHROP, realty owner, born in New York in January, 1804, died in London, England, July 26, 1879. He traced his descent from John Winthrop, the first English Governor of Massachusetts, and, on his mother's side, from Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch Governor of New York. Occupied in early life as clerk in the banking office of Jacob Barker, he there met the poet Halleck as a fellow employé. Mr. Winthrop inherited a large estate from both his father and mother, which he increased by his own labors, investing his means almost wholly in real estate. He was president at one time of a marine insurance company, a trustee of the old Public School Society, and up to the time of going abroad a vice president of The New York Historical Society. He had an interest in The Bank for Savings of Merchant Clerks and at the time of his death was its first vice president. He also served as one of the governors of The Lying-in Hospital and had been for many years its treasurer. In the performance of official duty, Mr. Winthrop was extremely punctilious, often making long journeys to attend a board meeting, and once coming from Europe for that purpose. Twelve years of his life were spent abroad. By his marriage with Elizabeth A. C., daughter of William Neilson, merchant, he became the father of five children, Egerton Leigh and Neilson Winthrop; Eliza S., wife of William Kernochan; Benjamin R. Winthrop; and Mrs. Anne Neilson Curtis, of Boston. <br />
