Excerpt from Martha Preble Oxnard, Eldest Child of Brig. General Jedidiah Preble and Mehitable Bangs, 1754-1824, and Her Descendants to 1869 Having thus laid the foundation of a fortune by an uninterrupted and adventurous career on the deep, he established himself as a merchant at Boston, where, as a large ship-owner, he soon became conspicuous for his talents, and remarkable energy in the various branches of commerce, and as an extensive ship builder of vessels of the largest class, either for prosecuting voyages to ports beyond the Cape of Good Hope, or for the carrying trade between New Orleans, Mobile, Charleston and Savannah, and those of England, France and Ireland. In all his vast and complicated transactions he had acquired such an exalted reputation for integrity, such a faithful adherence to all those high principles on which the institutions of society are founded and depend for their stability, as to have secured that public confidence and respect which are the most precious rewards that man can hope to receive. For benevolence and enlarged views of his duties as a patriot, a philanthropist and Christian, he merited and received the gratitude and commendation of all classes of his fellow citizens. His heart was never appealed to by the unfortunate or the distressed from sickness or poverty, without affording such an illustration of his deep sympathy for their af ictions, as that they went away with gratitude and joy. His private charities were as extensive as was his public munificence in whatever might tend to the advancement and prosperity of all branches of industry and the public welfare. In the midst of his usefulness this excellent man has been suddenly stricken down by death; but his- af icted family and mourning relatives have the soothing consolation that he left not only numerous personal friends, but a whole community who appreciated his worth and deplore his loss as one of the benefactors and ornaments of society.
