Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoir of John A. Swett, M.D., Late Professor of Theory and Practice of Medicine in the Medical Department of the University, of the New York, Physician of the New York Hospital, Etc
Dr. Swett's mother was an Appleton, and a de scendant in the direct line from Samuel Appleton, who emigrated from England in the year 1650, and settled at Ipswich, Mass, where he had a grant of lands from the authorities of the province. The Appletons, as is set forth at length in the Appleton memorial, were probably of Norman origin, and bore in their coat of arms a fesse sable between three apples gules, stalked and leaved vert, with the panning motto EX malo, bonus. The most noticeable man among them in this country, appears to have been Major Samuel Appleton, who came to New England a child, with his father. He seems to have been a strong - minded, stout - hearted, old puri tan, and distinguished himself equally in the war against King Philip and by his opposition to the tyrannical government of Sir Edmund Andros. The family throughout was an eminently respectable one.
