Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials of the Essex Bar Association and Brief Biographical Notices of Some of the Distinguished Members of the Essex Bar Prior to the Formation of the Association The first Essex Bar Association was formed in 1806. From a copy of the rules and regulations, printed in 1808, it appears that there were then twenty-seven members of the Bar in this county, as follows: - Salem - Elisha Mack, Benjamin 11. Nichols, William Prescott, Samuel Putnam, John Prince, jr., John Pickering, jr., Joseph Story, Samuel Swett, Leverett Saltonstall, Joseph Sprague, jr. Newbury port - William B.

Gloucester - Lonson Nash, Nathan Bruce. Marblehead - Ralph H. French. Ipswich - Asa Andrews. Beverly - Nathan Dane. Andover - Samuel Farrar. Lynn - John Stuart. We find records of the proceedings of this Association in 1812. How much longer it was in existence we have been unable to ascertain. In September, 1831, a now Bar Association was formed. It appears from a printed copy of its rules that there were then fifty-two members of the Bar in the county. The officers for that year were: Leverett Saltonstall, president; Ebenezer Shillaber, secretary; Ebenezer Mosely, Jacob Ger-rish, John G. King, Rufus Choate and Stephen Minot, standing committee. This association existed but a few years. The present Essex Bar Association was formed in 1856, and has been continued without intermission to the present time. It has proved beneficial to the Bar.
